And this feels like the same kind of thing to me where I don't know what they have to go through to change a couple of words on a CDC website. But my suspicion is it's more than you and I imagine. And I that is disgusting. I agree with you. And in the meantime, maybe people are hurt. I don't know. But I know.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1107.371

And Jim Thorpe has been ringing the bell about when the vaccine is given and which trimester we look at and how the data changes quite a bit when you look at the first trimester, if I remember right, or something of that order. Is that correct?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1124.41

He was in Congress talking about it. But let me just explain to you my... What's the word, I guess?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1278.764

You just, that last piece about burning in hell is you just articulated something that breaks through sexism, right? Because I don't think a male would ever say those words. And I think everyone should, I don't think, not the way you did, that to be able to defend women and motherhood with that level of intensity requires a female. And men need to quietly listen when that's being expressed.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

130.683

I'm excited to bring you a new product, a new supplement, Fatty. I take it. I make Susan take it. My whole family takes it. This comes out of, believe it or not, dolphin research. The Navy maintains a fleet of dolphins, and a brilliant veterinarian recognized that these dolphins sometimes developed a syndrome identical to our Alzheimer's disease.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1371.003

And just, again, just, you know, why I was wishy-washy is that I have two heads. One is, geez, in medicine, things are so complicated. I don't want to get put too, you know, put too hard of a bet down when I'm, you know, things could change, whatever. And then I know my friend, Naomi Wolf, and I, and I am, uh, Well warned not to in any way disagree with anything coming from your direction.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1403.712

It blocks the ovaries. I get it. I know. And you brought me that data when I was being dismissive. And I get it. And I'm with you. And it's why I'm not pushing back at all. I'm on your team. I'm team Naomi Wolf.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1424.138

And at very minimum, if the birth rates, live birth rates are dropping, much like the obesity rates going up and the autism rates going up, these things need to be explained. We need to ask questions and people need to have opinions about it. And if the opinions, if the data suggests something serious, we should be exercised about that. There should be drama.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1493.201

what do you make of people who take issue with the data that you are presenting that have different points of view or feel like I've been practicing it? People like, what was her name? Miles, that British woman that feel that, yeah. What do you make of that data and why aren't they looking at your data?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

151.293

Those dolphins were deficient in a particular fatty acid. She replaced the fatty acid. and they didn't get the Alzheimer's. Humans have the same issue. And we are more deficient in this particular fatty acid than ever before. And a simple replacement of this fatty acid called C15 will help us prevent these syndromes. It's published in a recent journal called Metabolites.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

There's some recent documentation about ovarian reserves being depleted.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1733.927

But since when is it an outrage to criticize our representatives? That's sort of our job.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1746.736

It's the nature of the delay we have. Don't worry about it. Keep going. So go ahead.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

175.771

It's a new nutritional C15, pentadecanoic acid it's called. The deficiency that we are developing for C15 creates something called the cellular fragility syndrome. This is the first nutritional deficiency syndrome to be discovered in 75 years and may be affecting us in many ways and as many as one in three of us. This is an important breakthrough. Take advantage of it.

putting a stop to. Back to the healthy, for sure. Back to the healthy children thing. Our granddaughter, our son got bad COVID. I'm sure it's the new NB181 because he was really sick with it. And his whole household got sick. And she got a runny nose for 12 hours or something or 24 hours. And kids don't get bad COVID. They just don't get it. And healthy children don't need a vaccine for it.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1805.516

It's the craziest thing ever. But vaccines for things you don't need.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1815.442

Oh, and mandates are the craziest thing in the world to me. But because the mandates to me were the most outrageous chapter of the COVID story, mandates for young men in particular who clearly do exactly what you just described. I'm wondering if you're joining me on the violent domestic terrorist list. because I'm going to find out. I'm sure I'm on that list.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1837.617

I'm going to get a hold of somebody over at the Justice Department to look it up for me. I brought it up to one of my friends, and he sort of looked at his plate. He didn't actually answer me, but if I'm there, I'm sure you're there with me.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1859.947

Well, they said, anybody apparently, and the FBI had a list of anyone who publicly was ringing the bell about mandates. If you were publicly, you were considered a domestic violent terrorist, or extremist, DVE or something. And that's the... What is that, Caleb? I can't read it, unfortunately, when you put those things up. Is that my retweet?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1884.963

That's your post. That's your post from Michael Schellenberger about your new professional milestone that you didn't even know you achieved nor intended to.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1897.628

Well, I haven't had it confirmed. But according to Schellenberger's post there, I meet every criteria. And so do you.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1908.268

Yeah, and YouTube is still, we have trouble with them. And certainly Facebook completely crushed us. And then before Elon Musk, X was going after us. I mean, the government was pushing these guys to hit citizens, to go after citizens. It's the craziest fucking shit.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

1926.336

What is this now? Oh, swatted. Don't say it. It could happen right now if you say it too loud. Did that happen to you guys?

And so we will get another update from the one and only Naomi Wolf. She, of course, is an independent journalist, co-founder and CEO of DailyClout.io. She edited the Pfizer papers, authored Facing the Beast. She has been spot on in her focus of protecting women from some of the excesses of COVID. I needed to apologize to her for my sexism and my... I'll bring it up again.

And, you know, what I admire is your laser focus on protecting women. And that has expanded a little bit to protecting children. In a way, it's always been the same.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2075.327

Well, it's considered conspiracy theory, considered way, you know, MAGA. It's considered all these things that have nothing to do with it.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

Well, yeah, FDA approved. This is the area of controversy. Yeah, I know.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

I can't believe they won't make good on what they intend on your behalf, but we will see.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2195.912

I will make it my mission to try to figure out what's going on there. I'll sort of send my feelers out, see if I can get any info for you.

Naomi is on X as Naomi R. Wolf and also on Substack, Naomi Wolf and X. You can also follow the Daily Cloud. Just one word, Daily Cloud at Daily Cloud on X. Let me open with this brief video from the Maha folks. It's Marty Makary, RFK Jr., and I think Jay Bhattacharya. Let's hear what they have to say about the COVID vaccine.

Ask Dr. Drew

2377.25

Well, thank you for being a representation of good leadership. And thank you for sharing your ideas always on this show. And thank you for being a friend and fighting for not just what you've described over the last few minutes, but also the freedom to speak and speak the truth. Thank you. Any place you want people to go? Should we promote one of the books? Where would you like people to go?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2592.427

All right. So Amy Alcon coming in next. We're going to talk a little menopause. Susan, I'm going to have you tell her your story.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2600.651

About hormone replacement therapies, amongst other things. It's women's issues again, but we're going to switch gears a little bit.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2609.655

How many? How medicine ill serves women and how we get into these group thoughts, group thinking that screws up our ability to think and deliver good healthcare. Right back after this. The wellness company knows that taking charge of your family's health care is a top priority, and that's why they're constantly innovating to deliver the products and services to help you be rationally ready.

Be sure to have the medical kit for kids on hand, whether you're a parent or grandparent. It treats 20 childhood conditions, including nausea and vomiting, allergies, asthma, inflammatory illnesses, even bioterror, God forbid. Listen, croup, ear infections, lice, it's all available in the pediatric emergency kit.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2653.1

You can also order the kid's kit with an EpiPen should your child be at risk of anaphylaxis. And those EpiPens are carefully sourced and well-priced relative to other EpiPens in the market. All seven kits, each customized for a different purpose, come with a telemedicine consultation and a guidebook.

And we want to point out that our granddaughter, Eloise, has become our family's new spokesmodel for active skin repair. That's the stuff. It's a product, there she is, no household should be without. Novel formulation that soothes and heals irritated skin, including and especially diaper ash, in Eloise's case. Key ingredient is hypochlorous acid.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2721.936

Clinically proven antimicrobial molecule used in hospitals already. It's active skin repair. It comes as a hydrogel, a thicker, and a great for spot treatments. and also the spray. Use either on blemishes, cuts, burns, rashes, bug bites. You need this as the summer approaches. Amazing formulation, suitable and safe for babies, kids, adults.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

274.018

That ends today. It's common sense and it's good science. There's no evidence healthy kids need it today, and most countries have stopped recommending it for children.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2743.334

If you have one for yourself, go ahead and use it on your baby. Same strength in different bottles. Our partners at Active Skin Repair also make a hyaluronic hydrating cream, which I use on a daily basis. I lost it when we were traveling, and my skin, of course, started flaking. We were out in the sun a bunch. Oh, there it is. And it was ridiculous. I was in a big panic looking for this.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2791.927

And did I tell you about the time, same trip, that we ran out of Paleo Valley's Lemon Meringue Superfood Bars? This was Susan panicked about that because we ate them all. Once you got a taste for them, it's difficult to go back. You wouldn't

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

28.029

I'm happy to apologize and apologize and admit where I got something wrong, and that is where I got something wrong. Amy Alcon will join us. She's also an investigative science writer, author of Going Menopausal and Un-F-U-C-K-ology, president of the Applied Evolutionary Psychology Society. I look forward to talking to her about all that.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2878.363

I get the... And I don't blame women for going menopostal because... Because, first of all, no, because they've been mistreated. If you don't mind, before you and I get in our conversation, I want Susan to tell her story of perimenopause, menopause, which was, well, go ahead, tell the story.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

289.637

And please welcome for this conversation Naomi Wolf. Good afternoon, young lady. So if Nemo should suddenly get up and run out of the room, there's actually a reason for that. So I don't want to overdramatize, but there's wild animals circulating around where she is right now. So we want to make sure she's able to escape. So no one should bat an eyelid if they see you get up and run.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2973.538

Amy, I'm sure you wrote about this and you read about this, but I want to flush out from the experience of the practitioner, the Women's Health Initiative, which is where a lot of this craziness came from. So we used to use an old-fashioned hormone replacement therapy called Premarin. It was kind of efficacious, but it wasn't ideal. And we would always use progesterones and things.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

2995.304

And all of a sudden, the Women's Health Initiative comes out. which was a deeply flawed study, but nobody would admit it. It's again, another pharma catastrophe. And the finding was, not only does it not protect against dementia, it causes breast cancer, it causes dementia, it causes heart disease. And this is what happened. I remember reading editorial, and I remember all of us,

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3018.8

All clinicians went, that is not my experience. This is weird. My women on estrogens seem to be doing better. They have less dementia. They have less osteoporosis. Their affect is brighter. They're more energetic. They're more involved with things. And we were told, this is the part that you may not have read because lead articles in major journals said in these words, I'll never forget them.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3041.96

You are no better than a witch doctor if you do not follow the findings of this fine study on 60,000 or 600,000 or whatever it was, that you are not only worthy of the title of physician and we will strip you, we will attempt to strip you of any of your subspecialty qualifications, but you are a witch doctor. I remember those words. And so all of us sort of froze.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3200.441

Yeah, I'm not surprised. We have a lot of groupthink. We have a lot of medical legal thinking. We follow what are sort of the prevailing winds of authorities mandates. And we don't think and if we don't read the literature, we're in big trouble. And the literature has been adulterated lately. That was the big shock to me during COVID. The literature became adulterated. I could see it.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

321.53

But first of all, what do you think about this new move by HHS Secretary Kennedy?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3225.0

So we're all in agreement, estrogen, progesterone, breast cancer risk. I mean, if you have a BRCA gene, okay, you want to talk to your doctor about that. But otherwise, what my reading shows me is not only does it not significantly add to the breast cancer risk, if you add testosterone to the mix, you might actually reduce breast cancer risk in hormone replacement therapy with testosterone.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3429.321

So the cerebral vasculature, I will tell you clinically, it just is. It just is so. I guarantee you that will be proven. The coronary part I want to talk about in a second. But first, hormone replacement. Hormone responsive tumors, we just did this automatic sort of deduction, which prostate cancer and breast cancer are hormone responsive tumors. They respond to blockade of hormone.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3459.294

They respond, accelerate when exposed to hormones. Therefore, these hormones must cause the cancers when there was never actually any evidence for it in either of these hormone responsive tumors. And so people have very much backed away from that. But that being the case, I mean, you don't want your cancer to get away from you if you have high risk for that, that kind of thing.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3482.263

But I want to go to heart disease. So you say women die of heart disease. I would love your next book to be about really doing a big dig on heart disease generally. Because there is a chapter that nobody knows except physicians. which is that when you attempt to fill out a death certificate, the counties will accept almost nothing except heart disease.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3513.06

They will say send everything back to the coroner or for an autopsy. And if families are not inclined that way, you as a physician feel sort of obliged to go, well, their heart did stop. So, okay, cardiopulmonary arrest due to cardiac standstill due to myocardial damage, which is all interpreted as heart disease. And none of it is true.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3537.431

It's the mess we got into with COVID or people were dying with COVID. Maybe just do a whole expose on death certificates in this country and how doctors aren't trained to fill out death certificates and how death certificates change county to county and how the way they're constructed, they don't reflect the reality of what happened to the patient. That to me would be a huge asset. I love it.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3565.83

Well, I would have to go into the research on it in every different county and stuff. I don't know if I have time for that. But the fact is that women, yes, women do have more heart disease than we pay attention to normally. But when they get it, it's usually very elderly in life, very advanced in age. And it's often women with other risk factors.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3586.299

And again, more often than not, it is actually misrepresented as heart disease or cerebrovascular disease when it is not. So... Let's, you know, sort of put that down. So I have less concerns about the cardiac issues. I, like you, I think you start early and often and you protect yourself with estrogens.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3734.46

Yeah. Yeah. No, I think I'm glad that you do that. And I taught medicine for a long time and emphasize exactly what you're talking about. But I realized that and Brett Weinstein confirmed this. You know, he was he was an undergraduate professor. He's the Black Horse. Oh, I know him and Heather. Okay, and he, I gave a little talk one time and he came running over to me afterwards.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3756.384

He goes, that's it, that's the problem. And what I put my finger on was that we're not teaching how to do science. That people are leaving scientific STEM training programs without ever being exposed to the actual scientific method properly done. And so we have physicians entering medical school. Medical school, certainly they aren't teaching science. That has nothing to do with science.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3777.815

That's a language course, essentially, right? Or maybe an anatomy course. But you have to be trained as a scientist as an undergraduate. And that's where you learn how to read literature. And when you learn how to read literature, you realize looking at a lot of clinical data that it's all bullshit. There's no actual science being done. It's just sort of... Book reports or something.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3799.494

Just sort of observational studies. They're not science. And so we have a crisis right there. It's not just the reproducibility crisis. It is the crisis in the actual training in the scientific methodology that we've just completely let go of for some reason. Exactly. Before we go further... I want to address the heterogeneity you said in terms of the testosterone replacement therapy.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3830.104

Okay, well, then maybe I did that in my head because that is exactly the issue with testosterone is that women are fantastically different in how they respond, particularly to hormones like testosterone. Susan, your story again with testosterone.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3890.463

You must be in a mood, Susan, right now, because that wasn't what I was, what I was going for was how it affected your vitality and your mood. I'm getting there. I'm getting there.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3920.43

What you said to me at the time was, I feel like a part of me had died and was brought back to life when I was a younger woman. And I thought, oh, that's quite vivid. That's very vivid. But by the same token, Amy, to your point, I know plenty of women who I referred for replacement therapies of various type who respond negatively to testosterone. They lose their hair. They get aggressive.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

3943.623

But Susan, again, it's a heterogeneous spectrum. It's going to be hard to sort that all out.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4042.509

Yeah, if you're picking up a hammer and using the claw and on your friends, I worry about that. But you're absolutely correct. That irritability, that sort of boiling, but it's irritability and misery. There's misery associated with this. And we do a woeful job. This book, your book sounds like on point. It's about time somebody wrote this book.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4068.846

Now, I want to switch a little bit gears and talk about evolutionary psychology, because I know you have a background in that, right?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4079.393

Okay. So I was trained as a biologist. Yeah. And I was trained as a biologist. And as a biologist, I had deep appreciation for evolutionary psychology. Because in biology, when you're really trained in biology, every question is answered by addressing... Every mechanism is addressed by asking oneself, what is the evolutionary advantage of this protein or this mechanism?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4107.735

What were the evolutionary forces that caused it to evolve? Of course the brain is under the same influences. Of course. It could not be otherwise. It could not be otherwise. I can't underline that enough. And so guys like, what's the guy up in Washington? David, I always want to call him Hume. You know what I'm talking about? A famous evolutionary psychologist up there.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4133.69

Somebody on the stream is going to give me that name. David, anyway, not important. Last time I talked to him, it was a few years ago. And at the time, evolutionary psychology was under an attack. And it now looks like that attack was this sort of neo-Marxist society causes everything kind of world where you weren't allowed to talk about biology.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4160.63

How do you make sense of all that now that we've sort of, I feel like we're coming out on the other side a little bit and you can start to talk about biology again.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

427.39

Let's stop with that because there's an interesting thing here you and I have never discussed. And I'm not quite sure what to do with it, which is... When the government takes away tools that physicians want to use, even when they're dangerous, believe me, this happens more than you would imagine. Let's just look at Vioxx, okay?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4286.922

What's that, Susan? I can't hear you. You're speaking, but not with a mic on Susan, Susan, are you talking to us? Okay. It sounds like you're talking to us. Um, yeah, I can't find the name of it. Sorry, but I can't find that you're, you're, you're speaking louder enough that we hear you. So I don't know. Um, Oh, we lost the X feed, I see.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4311.389

So David Buss, that's the guy I was trying to think of at the University of Washington.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4366.567

He's got some great books also. So, you know, it is time for, I can tell you, you know, working in psychiatry all the years that I did, that generally speaking, any psychiatric syndrome is accounted for on the basis of biology at about 60%. 60% of the syndrome is accounted for on the basis of biology alone. And there's, of course, there are environmental inputs, like with every syndrome.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4391.805

Even if you have a piano drop on your head, you have to have grown a head. There's always some biological elements in things that can look like strictly environmental inputs. And the biology has profound effects on everything. And the biology is shaped out of the evolutionary forces of millions and millions and hundreds of millions of years. And that's that. It's just that. It's just so.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4420.086

Now, I think the evolution of psychology got itself in a little trouble by using, doing a lot of just so descriptions of sort of the traits and things that had evolved without helping people understand that there is. No, no, no, no, no. Hold on. Hold on. Let me finish. Without helping people understand that there's also good science behind it.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

449.061

Vioxx is a very similar story to the vaccine story at Pfizer, incidentally. Would you agree with me on that?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4507.066

Yeah. We used to just do them on Harvard and Yale students. That's that's the bottom line. And now we try to get a more diverse population. Well, listen, I am out of time. I really I've over I've overstayed my welcome. And I would love to talk to you some more of their topics that come up where you're fighting. The menopausal front, I'm a warrior with you on that one.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4531.927

And I wanted to get that one on the record since we were talking about women's issues.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4536.631

I'm just going to tell everybody. But if there are other things that come along on the evolutionary psychology front and male-female differences and things, I'd like to get back into that battle again. I used to fight those fights. And I got sidetracked by COVID.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4574.349

And? And to build that resiliency and build that self-efficacy, you lean into stressful circumstances. You don't hide in safe spaces. You expose yourself to things. Exposure therapy is the main breakthrough in mental health in the first quarter of the 21st century. And guess what? Ordinary misery is good. And build resiliency and efficacy through leaning into unpleasant things. That's that.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

459.83

No, yes, but similar story, right? And they had to pay billions of dollars of restitution and stuff. The Vioxx caused heart attacks in eight people, something like that. Vioxx was an extraordinarily effective medication.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4637.546

Yeah, and don't be afraid to talk to your doctor about these things. One piece of advice I would give you is don't approach it like, did you know? They know. They're just not paying attention. And they've been exposed to it. They just have gotten into groupthink. You can just go, look, I'm reading data, and I'm looking at this new data, and I'm convinced. And start like that.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4658.853

That's how you talk to a doctor. I'm looking at that because they want you informed.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4692.568

It's a great, great piece of data. That's good. Yes, learning how, that's very useful, learn how to bring the data in. And again, the doctor's concern is getting in and out quick. That's what he or she is concerned with. So if you come in informed with data, they're perfectly happy to hear that. All right, listen, Amy, thank you so much for joining us.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

47.477

So we've got a lot to get into and some breaking news that we will open with as it pertains to the COVID vaccines and children and pregnant women after this. Our laws as it pertain to substances are draconian and bizarre. A psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4709.739

We'll get the book, we'll follow you on X, and hopefully we'll talk again soon about the evolutionary... Let's just do an evolutionary psychology thing because it needs to come back to the fore. It needs to come back into the forefront because it's this idea of... And theory, theory, as you mentioned, in humanities and social sciences is completely adulterated.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

4732.436

It is a misappropriation of the notion of scientific theory. It is disgusting. And we need to bring science back into the discourse and biology back into the discourse. So I'm ready to do it. All right. Thank you so much.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

All right, and next up, tomorrow, speaking of biology, we're bringing Nicole Sapphire in here. She's got some, we're going to talk a little prostate cancer and other things. She's a radiation oncologist. Jordan Vaughn, who, what did Dr. Vaughn had some observations? I forget. Jeez, I'm only blocking what they were, but he's got some interesting ideas about COVID, was it?

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

476.479

I have patients to this day that have never been the same since they withdrew Vioxx from the market who would have gladly taken the risk of a heart attack if Pfizer had divulged to me that that was a risk and I was able to offer that to the patient and say, hey, you know, it's really making you better, but it could shorten your life.

Ask Dr. Drew

Something happened to him during COVID that we need to kind of bring into the fore. Anouska DiGiorgio and Emily Hagen were going to talk a little. Epstein, she was in there. Mark Cianchesi, isn't Anouska? Somebody got lured. She was evicted. Yeah. She has some new data out.

Ask Dr. Drew

She's an excellent Danish physician and researcher who really just really writes great, clear, good science and then of course can't get it published because it runs contrary to some of the quote priorities of some of the publishing organizations.

I'll try to mitigate the risk with various interventions, but we don't know exactly the mechanism, My patients would have gone for it and their lives would have been dramatically, and I mean dramatically, enhanced. And the government took that away from me. And that's what I worry about here. I don't have any problem with people taking away the COVID vaccine. I have no issue with it.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

517.749

But the government screws with medicine in both ways when they restrict and mandate and obfuscate and don't give us the real data. I mean, on all fronts, they screw us up by just not giving us the data and then letting us practice medicine.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

659.106

Let's start again. I want to interrupt you as we as you used you throw a lot of stuff out. I want to make sure people hear every little detail of what what's behind what you're saying. So I recently have had several patients that took the vaccine within days to weeks or even a couple of months, even the booster. of getting COVID, bad COVID, had zero effect, zero. And to all those patients, zero.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

683.965

And I didn't encourage them. People still get the boosters. I don't, you know, the people are entitled to do that if that's what they want to do. And older people are very likely. Well, here's what I... Here's what I tell them. Here's what I tell them. I don't know what we're doing. I don't know what you're doing. I've seen now multiple cases.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

703.142

At best, this is a booster against a variant that no longer exists. It's no longer around. And then people go, well, it decreases hospitalization. Peter Hotez went on a tirade yesterday on social media about reducing hospitalizations. And I went to the data. Look, I try to be very... uncertain about things. I want to look at everything.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

724.5

I try not to be hubristic about any of this because that's how I got in trouble with you. I was sexist and I was hubristic and I was not listening. That was one of the experiences I got that gave me a little bit of... sort of put the brakes on my hubris. And lo and behold, it was data again from Delta, from a disease that does not exist right now. It does not exist.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

750.123

And I think somebody must have pointed that out because later in the day he went, don't worry, there will be a terrible variant of COVID coming. And then when people went, really, why? Because it was all manufactured in the lab. Are they manufacturing more stuff? Then he went, oh, it's climate change.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

766.19

People are going to become in more contact with bats because they're moving closer to humans because of climate change. Because of climate change. And I thought, wow, we're twisting ourselves. And the continued... exposure to spike protein. You continued to focus on data from a disease that doesn't exist. This is very troubling stuff. I don't know what to do with it.

Ask Dr. Drew

Naomi Wolf Warns: Fertility Crisis As US Birth Rate Hits Record Lows w/ Amy Alkon – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 488

And let's not forget, let's not forget, the part that really stunned me of the Pfizer studies is that they excluded the first two weeks after vaccination. Are you aware of this? I'm sure you are. Yeah, I am. That exclusion is so... That's incredible. That's when shit goes down. That's when it happens. It's like excluding. It's like, wow.

You know, Doge goes in and gives a trillion dollars of cuts and they actualize, you know, none of them are not nearly enough or whatever. I don't understand.
