In this episode, Brittany Runck shares her deeply personal and ongoing journey through infertility. She has experienced the heartbreak of miscarriage, the emotional and physical toll of multiple intrauterine insemination treatments and is considering in vitro fertilization. Brittany speaks openly about the grief, shame, and isolation that often accompany fertility struggles—but also the strength she’s found in sharing her story.
Key Takeaways
Infertility is more common and more complex than many realize. In the U.S., over 400,000 cycles of assisted reproductive technology are performed each year that result in less than 100,000 live births. Pursuing infertility interventions is a journey.
You can do everything right and still not have control over the outcome. Brittany has followed medical advice, tracked her cycle, changed her lifestyle, and pursued multiple treatments. Sometimes biology doesn't cooperate. And that's not a reflection of effort or worth.
Being proactive doesn't mean pushing nonstop. Part of Brittany's strength is knowing when to pause. Her decision to step back, even temporarily, is an act of self-care, not giving up.
Telling your story can be part of the healing. By speaking out, Brittany is helping break the silence around infertility. And in doing so, she's helping others feel less alone.

Guest: Rohan M. Goswami, M.D.
The benefits of artificial intelligence or AI are just beginning to be recognized. AI has the potential to improve productivity and efficiency in the workplace, reduce errors and help sort out complex issues. The field of healthcare is finding roles for AI by improving the management of patient data, enhancing clinical decision making and assisting in medical imaging analysis. The integration of AI in transplantation medicine is evolving and has the potential to revolutionize the field. Can AI assist in organ matching and allocation? Can it predict graft survival and organ rejection? What ethical concerns does AI bring to the specialty? I’ll be discussing these issues in this podcast as we tackle the topic of “AI in Transplantation Medicine”. My guest for this podcast is Rohan M. Goswami, M.D., a cardiologist and specialist in Transplant Medicine from the Mayo Clinic.

April 10, 2025: Justin Brueck, System VP of Innovation and Research at Endeavor Health, explores the balance of today's operational challenges with tomorrow's transformational needs. Justin discusses how healthcare systems are caught in a dichotomy—constantly putting out fires while trying to build a "fireproof house" through strategic innovation. How will healthcare address the looming workforce crisis as the "silver tsunami" approaches, with 42% of physicians between 55-65 years old? The conversation weaves through personalized medicine via genomics, the role of AI beyond the hype, and the critical importance of building trust when implementing new technologies.
