Have you struggled with hormonal imbalances? Do you have difficult periods or PMS? Were you sensitive to the effects of the pill, IUD, vaginal ring, patch, arm implant, or injections? Are you ready for natural ways to bring your hormones into balance without dealing with the negative effects of pharmaceuticals?

- how the birth control pill was at the root of my health issues
- what doctors aren't telling you about hormonal contraceptives

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
