I’m thrilled to have joined Dr. Lorne Brown on the Conscious Fertility Podcast to dive deep into the world of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and its potential for women on their fertility journey. As the Egg Whisperer, I shared my passion for patient-centered reproductive care, my TUSHY method for fertility diagnostics, and the importance of leaving no stone unturned when supporting those who want to grow their families. Lorne and I discussed the latest in integrative and holistic approaches, and I had the chance to explain how PRP is being used in my practice to help women who want to try every possible avenue before considering donor eggs. In our conversation, we explored the evolving landscape of fertility treatments, the science and stories behind PRP, and the importance of individualized care. We talked about the challenges of evidence-based medicine in emerging therapies, the nuances of testing and tracking results, and how integrative approaches (combining Western medicine, functional testing, acupuncture, laser therapy, and more) can make a difference. I also shared my experiences, data, and the real-life outcomes I’ve seen with PRP, as well as my commitment to educating and empowering patients. In this episode, we cover: What PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is and how it’s being used for ovarian rejuvenation The TUSHY method for comprehensive fertility diagnostics The importance of individualized, integrative, and holistic fertility care How PRP is performed, who may benefit, and what results I’ve seen in my practice The current state of research and data on PRP for fertility How to set realistic expectations for PRP and other emerging treatments The role of additional therapies like low-level laser therapy, acupuncture, and functional medicine in fertility journeys Resources: Do you have questions about IVF or Egg Freezing?

The 2WW: When Does Implantation Occur?

The 2WW: When Does Implantation Occur?
Discover all the answers to some of the most common questions you may have about your menstrual cycle, hormones in your menstrual cycle, ovulation, implantation, and the 2ww (two week wait). If you are trying to get pregnant, you may have heard the term—two week wait, the often nervous time of waiting between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test. For many, this is a dreaded time because it’s hard to know exactly what is happening. But by learning more about your cycle, you can have more knowledge about what might happen. The implantation window is during the two week wait. Since progesterone is the hormone responsible for supporting implantation, it must be present during the entire implantation window. You can track your progesterone during this window by tracking PdG, progesterone in urine. Proov has unique testing capabilities to test PdG during the implantation window to confirm successful ovulation. Studies show PdG levels are incredibly important for implantation and pregnancy success, for example, women with high PdG during the implantation window were 75% more likely to get pregnant. In contrast, women with low PdG had a miscarriage rate of 90%. You can find more about tracking your implantation window and PdG at Proov (and get 20% off): Do you have questions about IVF?

Embryo Glue is one of the most talked-about IVF add-ons. Does it actually lives up to the hype? I invited Dr. Nirvika Singh Sharma, associate lab director at Ovation Fertility San Antonio, to share what her new research found about embryo glue. Dr. Sharma is a physician, reproductive scientist, and embryologist who recently led a major study presented at ESHRE examining whether EmbryoGlue, a high-concentration hyaluronan transfer medium, actually improves outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles. We dig into what embryo glue really is, what her research found across 593 euploid FET cycles, and what patients should know before paying extra for this popular IVF add-on. In this episode, we cover: What EmbryoGlue actually is How hyaluronan works in the reproductive tract and whether more of it helps implantation Dr. Sharma's study design: 593 single euploid frozen embryo transfers across four medium combinations The results: pregnancy rates were 63–67% regardless of whether EmbryoGlue or standard media was used The difference between proven effective and possible benefit in IVF add-ons What actually drives implantation: embryo quality, ploidy, and the embryo-endometrium conversation Resources: Ovation Fertility San Antonio: Connect with Dr. Sharma's research presented at Do you have questions about IVF?

Becoming A Changemaker on Your Fertility Journey with guest Alex Budak
Alex Budak is an author and faculty member at Berkeley Haas School of Business. He recently wrote a book called "Becoming a Changemaker." If there is anything I know about fertility patients it's that you all know a lot about being on a journey that often involves embracing change. You become more resilient, and you follow a "growth" mindset. You cling to hope and you let it lead the way forward. It's no surprise that I would have a social entrepreneur and changemaker on the show. You have a lot in common with what Alex teaches and writes about: "Developing a changemaker mindset often requires holding two seemingly contradictory traits simultaneously: Having a strong personal vision yet being open to collaborating with others. Employing drive and determination to push through barrier after barrier yet knowing when to step back and recharge." Today we're talking about how to become a Changemaker on your fertility journey. Here are three traits he believes a changemaker has: 1. There's always another way 2. Existing at the edges 3. Learned Hopefulness / Learned Optimism You can learn more about Alex and get his book here: Do you have questions about IVF?

Everything You Need to Know Before Picking an Egg Donor

Everything You Need to Know Before Picking an Egg Donor
Whether you’re an egg donor now, if you’re considering it, or you know someone that is — I’m glad you’re here. Young women are donating eggs at the time they are most fertile, often times not realizing the implications of what that means. I’ve had patients come to me in their 40s without enough healthy eggs of their own to conceive. When they share with me that they themselves donated their young and healthy eggs in their 20s or 30s, but that none are available for them, I feel frustrated and sad for them. Frustrated enough that I’m doing something about it. Freeze & Share is a program that helps young egg donors save some eggs for themselves should they need them, while helping another family conceive when they can’t on their own. Suffice to say, I don’t want anyone to look back at their egg donation and wish they’d known more. Here is your chance — I want to give you all the information I have so that you’re equipped with the knowledge to make the best decision for your personal situation.

Revolutionizing Donor Conception: Danielle Winston on Known Sperm Donors and The Seed Scout (Fertility Expert Series)

Revolutionizing Donor Conception: Danielle Winston on Known Sperm Donors and The Seed Scout (Fertility Expert Series)
I’m talking all about the benefits of known sperm donation with Danielle Winston of The Seed Scout on today’s brand new episode of The Egg Whisperer Show. When Danielle and her partner, practicing pediatrician Dr. Paige Kennedy-Winston, were looking to build their own family, they quickly realized the space of sperm banking was riddled with roadblocks for most families. The process was highly impersonal, the anonymity and lack of diversity adding to the problem, and options seemed extremely limited. That’s when Danielle and Dr. Kennedy-Winston took matters into their own hands and found their own donor. They got the idea for their sperm donor matchmaking concierge service, The Seed Scout, from their own first-hand experience. With Danielle’s business and law background and Dr. Kennedy-Winston’s pediatric experience, they made The Seed Scout a reality by taking a human-centered, ethical approach to known sperm donation that’s founded on the belief that it’s a basic human right to know the identity of one’s donor and genetic origins. In this conversation, Danielle and I talked all about: 💙How The Seed Scout is different from traditional sperm banks 💙The extensive screening process used to make sure donors are aligned with their clients 💙Why it was so important to learn about and build from the perspective of donor-conceived individuals 💙How The Seed Scout guides families through the legal and logistical aspects of donor conception to ensure a smooth, ethical process 💙How they balance the seriousness of family planning with creating a fun and fulfilling experience for their clients If you’re curious about sperm donation and want to understand the process, your most ethical options, and how you can actually make this fun, you’re not going to want to miss this episode!

Rapamycin to Delay Menopause with the Egg Whisperer Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh
I’m excited to be joining Dr. Lorne Brown on the Conscious Fertility Podcast to dive into a fascinating topic: Rapamycin. While it’s started to be used as an anti-aging drug, I’ve been exploring its potential for reproductive health, especially in improving fertility and delaying menopause.

We’ll also get into the science behind it and how it may be beneficial for women going through menopause or undergoing fertility treatments like IVF.

I also share how my alcohol-free lifestyle supports my approach to healthy aging and fertility.

Why I started using and prescribing Rapamycin for longevity and helping women improve fertility later in life.

After 20 years of practicing medicine, I’ve learned that not everything is sunshine and rainbows.

In this episode, we cover: How to embrace situations as they come without spiraling when plans change The power of mindfulness and accepting impermanence in difficult times Ways to stay flexible, cultivate gratitude, and detach from rigid outcomes Why humor, lightheartedness, and community support matter in tough moments Practical steps for prioritizing self-care, limiting overthinking, and trusting the journey Would you like to learn more about IVF?

Exploring Donor Conception and Infertility Advocacy with Our Hearts Match Author Victoria Nino
I am talking to the incredible Victoria Nino, author of Our Hearts Match, donor conception advocate, and mom of two about one of the most vulnerable moments in a fertility journey: what happens after IVF fails. Victoria has lived through multiple failed IVF cycles, stage three endometriosis, years of heartbreak, and ultimately became a mother twice over through donor egg conception via two very different paths. Her story is raw, honest, and full of the kind of hard-won wisdom that only comes from truly living it. We dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of failed IVF cycles, the grief that so often goes unacknowledged, and what it really takes to open the door to donor eggs, not out of defeat, but out of empowerment. Victoria shares how education, community, and even a spiritual trip to Thailand helped her find her footing, and why she believes you don't have to be 100% emotionally ready, you just have to be willing to take a peek. In this episode, we cover: The grief of failed IVF cycles and why it deserves to be treated like any other profound loss The emotional tipping point between exhaustion and openness when considering donor eggs The difference between fresh and frozen donor eggs including cost, timeline, and access What an open donor relationship looks like and why Victoria wishes she'd had it from the start How epigenetics and bonding science can help shift your perspective on the mother-child relationship Overcoming shame, fear of judgment, and the "am I the real mom?" question Why Victoria's one regret is that she didn't do it sooner and what she'd tell anyone in the "what now" moment right now Resources: Victoria Nino on Instagram: Victoria's website: Victoria's support groups & classes: | Donor Nexus (frozen & fresh egg donation with open relationship options): Book: by Victoria Nino Book: by Cory Silverberg The Egg Whisperer Show on and My Book, Do you have questions about IVF?
