Irish eyes are smiling this St. Patrick’s Day as the Green Docs share a pint with Dr. Edgar Mocanu, a Dublin-based fertility specialist and president of the International Federation of Fertility Societies. He brings his unique global perspective to the fertility question on everyone’s mind: what on earth is going on in Alabama? The answer might surprise you. Dr. Mocanu also weighs in on the latest trends: how diet can improve fertility, why we worry about jacuzzis and getting pregnant, and how to avoid hormone-disrupting chemicals. There’s a reason they say geniuses pick green.
Nate and Bruce unpack the latest news: what you haven’t heard about the Alabama decision on embryos and personhood; how three parents can sometimes be better than two; and the shocking reunion of twins separated at birth and then reconnected nineteen years later via a TikTok video. All worthy of an Irish blessing! You’ll also learn about Nate’s recent undercover mission in Washington DC, and see if Bruce can pass the tests of a true Irishman? Slainte!
