I want to start a PCOS revolution, and to start that, I've started calling it HOPE syndrome instead.

DOR Decreased NOT Depleted Ovarian Reserve
The Egg Whisperer Show
There are a lot misunderstandings around what the term DOR means. Often times when people first hear about DOR, they believe that that the "D" of DOR means "depleted" ovarian reserve. This is not true! To set the record straight, DOR means "decreased" ovarian reserve. The other thing that happens when the word "decreased" gets mixed up for "depleted," is that many people next assume that getting a DOR diagnosis means that they will need to use donor eggs in order to get pregnant. This is also not true! With DOR, you still have eggs, you just don't have as many eggs as you once did. In this...

info_outlineToday, I’m thrilled to welcome Judy Simon and Dr. Angela Thyer back to the podcast to talk all about their brand new book, Getting to Baby.
Dr. Angela is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist, and Judy is a registered dietitian nutritionist who specializes in reproductive health. They’ve developed a practical, food-based fertility blueprint that helps fertility patients improve their odds of success and shorten their time to pregnancy.
If you’ve heard me talk about assembling your fertility TEAM, you know that E stands for “exercise and nutrition.” What you fuel your body with during this journey makes a difference, and based on Dr. Angela and Judy’s work, that difference can be huge.
They’ve already helped thousands of women who were struggling with infertility thanks to this blueprint, and I know they’re going to help so many more with this book.
Getting to Baby makes it easier to understand exactly what to eat and how to make those dietary changes in a simple, straightforward way with the science to back it up.
During our conversation, we talked about:
- How food supports fertility
- The research-based science behind their plan
- Using food to support specific fertility diagnoses, like PCOS and endometriosis
- Practical tips and ways to make this transition easier
- Their course, Food for Fertility
If you’re looking for things that you can do yourself to create a more supportive lifestyle around your fertility goals, with the science and results to prove they actually work, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
