Your Genetics are a key part of my TUSHY Method (Y = Your genetics) and I'm so honored to have Dena Goldberg (also known far and wide as Dena DNA) joining me today!

Today, Dr. Kristin Brogaard is joining me today to talk about the Path Fertility SpermQT test.

While sperm were long considered to be just carriers of DNA, it turns out they are a lot more complex than that!

Dr. Geoffrey Sher is joining me again, and this time we are going to talk about implantation failure during IVF. Dr. Sher is co-founder of Sher Fertility Solutions (SFS) and an internationally renowned expert in the field of assisted reproductive technology, and influential in the births of more than 17,000 IVF babies. One day I hope that I’ll be able to say the same thing about myself. Over the last 30 years, he has helped fashion the entire field of ART after training under the fathers of IVF, Dr. Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. He established the first private IVF program in the United States in 1982, then later expanded his practice to include several centers throughout California before founding the first Sher Fertility Solutions in Las Vegas. He’s also the author of several books, In Vitro Fertilization: The ART of Making Babies, which is now in its third edition.

In this episode, we're talking about implantation failure during IVF. Many times I wonder why embryos do not stick and grow. Dr. Sher is discussing the role of the endometrium, the difference between implantation and miscarriage, and the three factors he considers when advising on treatment for implantation failure.
