In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, we unravel the deeply ingrained myth that fertility is solely a “female issue.” Host Adrienne Irizarry, a holistic women’s health practitioner, invites you into a real, raw, and informed conversation about why fertility must be seen through a whole-body, whole-couple lens.

Together, we explore:

  • The silent epidemic of male-factor infertility
  • How sperm health is impacted by stress, environment, and nutrition
  • Why fertility treatments often overlook the role of the male partner
  • How couples can co-regulate, support each other, and reclaim fertility as a team effort
  • Rituals, herbs, and practices to support both partners on the conception path

Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, thinking about future fertility, or supporting someone who is, this episode will change the way you think about reproductive health.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
