Every day I get a lot of questions about what to do, and what to avoid, when patients are in fertility treatment. From "Can I drink alcohol? to "Can I visit the dentist?" patients are curious about how to approach their health during fertility care.



Today, I'm talking about these topics and more in a podcast episode on The Egg Whisperer Show. ⠀
⠀
I hope you'll tune in!

In today's Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Dana McQueen and Dr. Audrey Gaskins. ⁠I'm honored to have them join me as we look at the impact our environment has on fertility this week.
⁠
Dr. Gaskins is an assistant professor at Emory University, where she studies the relationship between the environment and fertility in both men and women. ⁠
⁠
Dr. McQueen is a reproductive endocrinologist currently at RMA Fertility Clinic in Northern California, and her research focuses on risk factors for recurrent pregnancy loss and pregnancy outcomes after IVF.⁠
⁠
This episode, which is part of a recurrent pregnancy loss series, is focusing on the environmental factors that can play a role in miscarriage. ⁠
⁠
We'll be sharing all sorts of great evidence based information on pesticides, organic food, pollution, and endocrine disrupting chemicals.⁠
⁠
Thank you for being on the show, Dr. McQueen and Dr. Gaskins!⁠

New episode is up: https://youtu.be/nfjS01BP4rs
I’m so excited to share my recent interview with Alysia Lyons on The Egg Whisperer Show! Alysia is not only a certified Master Neurotransformational Results Coach and Reiki master, but she’s also a four-time surrogate and the author of Creating Little Miracles: A Guide to Surrogacy: a book I was honored to write the foreword for.



In our conversation, we explore the real, unfiltered experience of surrogacy. Alysia opens up about the emotional highs and lows, the importance of clear communication with intended parents, and how strong relationships (and the right agency!) can make all the difference. Whether you're considering becoming a surrogate, thinking about working with one, or just curious about what it’s really like, this episode is full of wisdom and heart.



One of my favorite moments was when Alysia said, “Surrogacy is truly one of the most rewarding things that I've done in my life, if not the most rewarding, besides being a mom… Know that you're doing something good in the world.” Her words are such a beautiful reminder that helping others build their families is a profound and generous act. 💕

It takes three things to make a baby at home: egg, sperm, and fallopian tubes that are open. And for a long time, sperm health was not given the importance it deserved. ⁠
⁠
Today on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast, I’m sharing The BALLS Method. We’ve got the TUSHY Method for the gals, and the BALLS Method is a super easy mnemonic that makes it easy to remember the five things to do if your sperm count is low⁠.

So, tune in to hear me talk more about these important considerations for the guys:⁠
B = Background genetics (sperm DNA frag, chromosome analysis, Y chr microdeletion)⁠
A = Anatomy (varicocoele)⁠
L = Labs (hormones like testosterone)⁠
L = Lifestyle (alcohol, marijuana, medications, body size, exercise + nutrition)⁠
S = Sex life (get help for erectile dysfunction)⁠

Tune in to learn more!

Egg Whisperer Show

I’m so excited to share something close to my heart: Freeze and Share: a program I created to bring hope and possibility to two kinds of patients through one incredible gift. 💛



I created Freeze and Share to serve two different types of patients while offering the most cutting edge technology in fertility medicine.

💛 Freezers are women who want to freeze their eggs (or already have), and want to share the gift of an egg with a family in need.

💛 Families and individuals who want to grow their family also participate. I call them Sharers, and they are looking for an open donation of an egg or embryo to grow their family.



I personally offer a guided, hands-on experience for both parties, allowing Sharers to meet their donor, and guiding Freezers through the process as they give the gift of life as an egg or embryo, to others.



This isn’t just about fertility: it’s about connection, compassion, and creating families in a way that’s deeply human and heartfelt. 💫

Today, I'm delighted to be joined on The Egg Whisperer Show podcast by Marc Sherman of Organic Conceptions, a company he founded after a 20-year career in corporate America.

The idea came after he and his wife Erin struggled with infertility, decided to adopt, and then unexpectedly found themselves pregnant. Realizing that this phenomenon occurs regularly, they decided to conduct the first-ever research project to better understand the insights, patterns, and commonalities from similar stories.

They partnered with Ph.D. Kate Webster and conducted a multi-year study that uncovered 9 key emotional transitions that were common across these stories, and that are required for conception.

Their program, The Journey to Parenthood & Beyond, helps couples identify, name, address, and overcome the suffering involved when struggling to conceive, resulting in healthier patients and better outcomes.

Welcome to the show, Marc!

Dr. Geoffrey Sher is back on The Egg Whisperer Show Podcast, and this time, it's his 4th appearance in a week-long series! Join me as we dive deep into the world of IVF and discuss Dr. Sher's unique approach to the best ovarian stimulation protocols.

Dr. Sher spills the beans on the secrets to optimizing egg and embryo quality for the best shot at IVF pregnancy. We both agree: No more one-size-fits-all – it's time to tailor the approach to each patient.

Dr. Sher breaks down the science: the two compartments of the ovary, the delicate dance of hormones, and why protocol customization is crucial. Too much or too little testosterone? It's all about finding that sweet spot for ideal follicle development.

A key takeaway? The "LH/hCG trigger" is a critical point in the IVF process, and protocol individualization is the secret sauce for success, especially for women with diminished ovarian reserve.

We also explore how Dr. Sher utilizes birth control pills, GnRH agonists, and antagonist switches to create the perfect recipe for success. Plus, he shares insights on estrogen priming for those with low ovarian reserve.

And here's the twist – Dr. Sher's groundbreaking approach extends to offering EZ-IVF, where low doses of gonadotropins are used every other day.

I recently joined a special support group session for a live Q&A hosted by therapist Rachel Goldberg, where I got to answer real questions from real fertility patients and wow, what a powerful conversation it was.



We covered so much: fresh vs. frozen embryo transfers, PRP for egg quality, GLP-1 medications and fertility, egg freezing in your 40s, emotional burnout, and knowing when to take a break.



One of my favorite moments was sharing what continues to inspire me in this work. Being with such an open and thoughtful group reminded me just how important it is to hold space for vulnerability and real talk in this journey.

As Rachel said to the group, “Your vulnerability and openness during the support group made it truly special," and I have to agree wholeheartedly!



If you weren’t able to attend, I didn’t want you to miss out. You can watch the full Q&A here: https://youtu.be/_aJvcOEMNwk?si=hn-cY...

Sending you love and support - always. 💕

Join me for The IVF Class: the-egg-whisperer-school.teachable.com/p/the-ivf-c…

Today on the podcast, I'm talking all about how you can create your own personalized IVF Plan.

Have you ever used Google Maps and been redirected midway via a better route?

Maybe you’re proactive in managing traffic and go directly to an app like Waze to get you from point A to point B in the most time effective way?

These apps are well-loved and widely used because they remove obstacles out of an otherwise potentially painful process, and they do so with data.

We tell these apps where we want to go, they determine our starting point and formulate a plan. It’s not a one-size fits-all-route; it is customized and updated in real-time to avoid the proverbial bumps along the way. I would get lost daily without this personalized navigation.

I bring the beauty of Google Maps into my fertility care by serving as a personal navigator for every one of my patient’s IVF care and talked about it here.

Would you like to learn about IVF?

Join me for The IVF Class! The next live class call is on Monday, April 21, 2025 at 4pm PST, where I will explain IVF and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom. Sign up at EggWhispererSchool.com
