thank you for the recent episode with Dr Teresa Hilgers! I have been listening to your podcast for a few months and was especially excited for this episode. I am forever grateful for the Creighton, naprotechology, the Saint Paul VI institute, and Dr Hilgers herself for being the surgeon for my endometriosis surgery January 2024.
