Yes, You Can Get Pregnant: Rewriting the Fertility Story at Over 35 with Aimee Raupp 03/30/2026

Yes, You Can Get Pregnant: Rewriting the Fertility Story at Over 35 with Aimee Raupp In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with my friend and fellow "Aimee," Aimee Raupp - bestselling author, fertility expert, and licensed acupuncturist who has spent over 20 years helping women around the world improve their fertility using an integrative approach that blends Western science with Eastern wisdom. Aimee has just released an updated edition of her landmark book Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, with modern protocols designed especially for women in their late thirties and forties. She also shares her own deeply personal fertility journey, including conceiving naturally at 40 and navigating a devastating miscarriage at 45. Together we dig into what's really driving the fertility crisis and it's not just age. We explore why the word "infertile" needs to be retired, how environmental toxins and chronic stress are quietly disrupting reproductive health, and why unexplained infertility is really just an unexplored diagnosis. We also talk about the powerful role of joy, nervous system regulation, and the latest research showing the ovaries are wired directly to the nervous system. Plus, we discuss cutting-edge options like ovarian PRP rejuvenation and how to create a "no regret plan" for your fertility journey. In this episode, we cover: Why fertility rates are declining even among women in their twenties and why it's not just about age The environmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, and nutrient depletion silently harming reproductive health Why the labels "infertile" and "unexplained infertility" are harmful and what's usually hiding underneath The role of inflammation, immune dysregulation, gut health, and metabolic stress in fertility challenges How joy, pleasure, and nervous system regulation directly influence hormones and egg quality Practical lifestyle shifts, lab work, and prep protocols for egg freezing and IVF Ovarian PRP rejuvenation: what the latest research shows and who it may help Resources: Aimee Raupp's website: Yes, You Can Get Pregnant by Aimee Raupp (revised edition for 2026, now available): Aimee Raupp on Instagram and TikTok @aimeeraupp The Egg Whisperer Show podcast on and My Book, Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America’s most well known fertility doctors.

Five Steps to Take After a Miscarriage 03/26/2026

Five Steps to Take After a Miscarriage In this episode, I break down my "Angel Workup" - the five essential steps every person should take after experiencing a miscarriage. As a reproductive endocrinologist and miscarriage expert, I'm sharing the framework I created as part of my Miscarriage Revolution so you can feel empowered, informed, and ready to move forward. This episode covers the A.N.G.E.L. workup: a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to understanding why a miscarriage happened and what you can do next. We talk about the role of age, autoimmune conditions, uterine anatomy, nutrition, genetics, endocrinology, and lifestyle factors. I also walk you through how to collect pregnancy tissue for genetic testing, why you should never blame yourself, and how both female and male partners play a role in preventing future losses. In this episode, we cover: The A.N.G.E.L. workup: Age, Autoimmune diseases, and Anatomy - including AMH, FSH, estradiol, antral follicle count, and uterine anomalies like septums Why nutrition matters for fertility and miscarriage prevention, including plant-based diets, celiac disease screening, and the HOPE approach for PCOS Genetic testing for both partners - karyotype, carrier screening, sperm DNA fragmentation, and pregnancy tissue testing using the Anora test How to safely collect pregnancy tissue at home for genetic analysis Endocrine factors like thyroid disorders, high prolactin, and diabetes that can contribute to miscarriage Lifestyle changes for both partners - BMI, alcohol, smoking, and "sperm bootcamp" Why self-blame after miscarriage is common but unfounded, and how testing can provide real answers Resources: The Egg Whisperer School: The Anora Test (pregnancy tissue genetic testing): The Egg Whisperer Show podcast on and My Book, Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America’s most well known fertility doctors.

Egg Health: The Science of NAD+ Sirtuins - with Dr. Mark Ratner 03/25/2026

Egg Health: The Science of NAD+ Sirtuins - with Dr. Mark Ratner I am so excited to share this conversation with you. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mark Ratner, Chief Science Officer at Theralogix, to talk about a topic I've become incredibly passionate about: NAD+ and its role in egg quality and fertility. If you've been wondering what NAD+ actually is, why your eggs need it, and whether supplementation could make a real difference in your IVF or egg freezing outcomes, this is a must-listen. We get into the science of how NAD+ and sirtuins work together in our cells, why their decline with age is such a big deal for egg health, and the emerging research — from mouse studies to a promising new human trial — suggesting that boosting NAD+ levels could improve fertilization and pregnancy rates. I also share a personal story about a patient whose results completely blew me away after she started NAD+ supplementation on her own. This is the kind of conversation that gets me fired up about the future of fertility medicine. In this episode, we cover: What NAD+ is and how it's present in every cell of your body The role of mitochondria in egg development and why eggs require more energy than any other cell What sirtuins are and how SIRT1 appears to regulate ovarian reserve How the age-related decline in NAD+ and sirtuins creates a "double whammy" for egg quality The connection between NAD+, chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy), and diminished ovarian reserve Key findings from mouse studies and a new human study showing doubled fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates with NAD+ boosting How to start supplementing and what to look for My Book, Resources: Theralogix website: — Use discount code EGG for ~15% off The IVF Class at The Egg Whisperer Show podcast on and Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America’s most well known fertility doctors.

Leaving a Legacy of Hope for Male Fertility with Dr. Ramy Ghayda 03/24/2026

Leaving a Legacy of Hope for Male Fertility with Dr. Ramy Ghayda In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ramy Ghayda, an experienced urologist and the Chief Medical Officer at Legacy, to dive deep into the world of male fertility. Dr. Ghayda brings his expertise in urology and male infertility to discuss why it's "always nice to have sperm on ice,"a phrase I say often because preserving male fertility is just as important as egg freezing. We explore Legacy's revolutionary approach to men's reproductive health, a digital fertility clinic that provides everything from at-home semen analysis and sperm freezing to DNA fragmentation testing, telehealth consultations, and nutritional support: all designed to fill the gap in fertility care that has traditionally focused only on women. Throughout our conversation, Dr. Ghayda and I discuss the alarming decline in male fertility rates over the past few decades and what's causing it; from environmental toxins and endocrine-disrupting chemicals to lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and sleep. We talk about why fertility should be considered the sixth vital sign and how infertile men face higher risks of chronic diseases later in life. Dr. Ghayda also shares his passion for breaking the taboos around male infertility, rebalancing the emotional workload in couples struggling to conceive, and helping men understand that they are 50% of the fertility equation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in optimizing their reproductive health or supporting their partner through the fertility journey. My Book, In this episode, we cover: Legacy's comprehensive approach to male fertility, including at-home semen analysis, sperm freezing, DNA fragmentation testing, and telehealth support The science behind declining sperm counts and quality over the past 50 years and what environmental factors may be contributing How lifestyle choices (smoking, alcohol, marijuana, heat exposure, diet, exercise, and sleep) directly impact sperm production Why DNA fragmentation testing matters and how it can reveal correctable fertility problems The emotional toll of infertility on men and how to rebalance the conversation and workload between partners Why fertility is now being considered the sixth vital sign and its connection to overall health and longevity Practical steps men can take to be proactive about their reproductive health and support their partners Resources: Legacy's website: Legacy's The Egg Whisperer Show podcast on and Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America’s most well known fertility doctors.

Does Sperm Really Matter? 03/23/2026

Does Sperm Really Matter? Does sperm really matter? If you tuned into the conversation with Dr. Paul Turek and I earlier this week, you'll know that of course it matters! It truly does take both sperm and an egg to make a baby. Today I'll review the sperm question a bit, and explain why it matters. AND, I'll give you a lot more info about how to improve sperm quality. Here's the thing: I know that guys want to hear what they want to hear. They have selective listening. I'm not kidding when I tell you that I had someone email me recently and say "My husband's sperm tested out GREAT, and when we went over the results with the doctor we heard two different things. He thinks he heard our doctor say that it means he can just keep drinking, smoking, and enjoying marijuana and doesn't need to make any lifestyle changes. I heard something very different, which was that he should still cut back until we are pregnant. Can you help settle this for us?" And while it's an unpopular answer (at least with the guys), my response is: Men should cut back or abstain from drinking, and smoking (marijuana too) if you're TTC. My Book, Here are a few of the things I suggest to anyone bringing the sperm side of the equation to the baby making situation: - consider freezing your own sperm for future use when you are young. - get in the best shape of your life if you're trying to conceive. Sperm matters, and men's health is directly related to their sperm quality. - take some prenatal vitamins. Yes, really. Many of the same supplements that I recommend for egg quality also are great for sperm quality. - cut back on smoking, drinking, and drug use. Marijuana negatively impacts sperm. - don't cook your balls: avoid hot tubs, using your laptop on your lap, and other situations that may create high temps for the area. - find ways to cut back on stress, if you live a stressful life. Mindfulness and meditation are great for everyone. Do you have questions about IVF?

The Most Important Thing to Know Before IVF with guest Dr. Max Ezzati 03/19/2026

The Most Important Thing to Know Before IVF with guest Dr. Max Ezzati Preparing for IVF can be an emotional and complex journey, and having the right information beforehand can make all the difference. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Max Ezzati, a highly respected reproductive endocrinologist, to discuss the most important thing to know before starting IVF. Dr. Ezzati shares key insights about how patients can optimize their chances of success, the factors that influence embryo quality, and why understanding ovarian reserve is crucial. We also dive into the role of lifestyle factors, genetic screening, and cutting-edge advancements in reproductive medicine. If you’re considering IVF or supporting someone on their fertility journey, this conversation will empower you with the knowledge you need. One important concept we discuss is the IVF pyramid, which illustrates how the number of eggs retrieved translates to the number of viable embryos. Not every egg leads to a healthy embryo, and understanding this process can help patients set realistic expectations about their IVF journey. In this episode, we cover: How to assess your ovarian reserve before IVF Why embryo quality matters and how it's evaluated The importance of individualized treatment plans How lifestyle factors, such as diet and stress, impact IVF outcomes The role of genetic screening in IVF success Common misconceptions about IVF and what patients should really focus on Do you have questions about IVF?

I’m 40. Did 5 IVF Cycles, Got Dozens of Eggs, But Not a Single Normal Embryo. What Should I Do Next? (Ask The Egg Whisperer with guest Dr. Steven Palter) 03/18/2026

I’m 40. Did 5 IVF Cycles, Got Dozens of Eggs, But Not a Single Normal Embryo. What Should I Do Next? (Ask The Egg Whisperer with guest Dr. Steven Palter) Welcome back to Ask the Egg Whisperer! I'm so excited to have Dr. Steven Palter join me on today's episode. Dr. Palter is the medical and scientific director at Gold Coast IVF in Woodbury, New York, and an internationally recognized leader in fertility treatment. He's also the creator of the PCOS to Pregnancy Protocol - the first comprehensive remote system targeting the root causes of PCOS and the Palter Fertility Method, a personalized approach to diagnosis and care that integrates metabolic health, surgical precision, and emerging reproductive technologies. In this episode, we tackle real questions from our community (women ranging from 36 to 47), dealing with everything from diminished ovarian reserve and repeated IVF failure to PCOS, endometriosis, and experimental treatments like mitochondrial replacement therapy. Dr. Palter and I don't always agree, and that's what makes this conversation so valuable. We get into the nuances of DHEA and testosterone supplementation, when genetic testing is worth it even with limited embryos, why your stimulation protocol might be the problem, and how targeting insulin resistance can transform outcomes for PCOS patients. In this episode, we cover: Why AMH predicts egg quantity, not quality and why that distinction matters The truth about DHEA and testosterone priming, including a major new study showing no benefit Mitochondrial replacement therapy (three-parent IVF): promise, limitations, and what the data actually shows Fresh vs. frozen transfers with diminished ovarian reserve, and why PGTA testing is still valuable The #1 reason for immature eggs and no blasts and the protocol fix that works 80% of the time Endometriosis, BCL6 testing, and when suppression vs. surgery makes sense How targeting insulin resistance and inflammation in PCOS patients is changing outcomes dramatically Resources: Dr. Steven Palter's practice: Gold Coast IVF — Would you like to learn more about IVF?

Sperm Health: A New Test from PS Fertility with guest Jeff Lysiak (PS Detect) 03/11/2026

Sperm Health: A New Test from PS Fertility with guest Jeff Lysiak (PS Detect) I'm thrilled to bring you this conversation about a breakthrough in male fertility diagnostics that's been literally hiding in plain site. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jeff Lysiak, PhD, co-founder and Chief Science Officer at PS Fertility, to discuss phosphatidylserine (PS) and how this critical molecule on sperm is revolutionizing how we diagnose male infertility. Jeff shares the fascinating story of how his research at the University of Virginia led to discovering that PS on the surface of sperm is essential for fertilization and how traditional semen analysis completely misses this vital piece of the puzzle. This episode addresses a frustration I've experienced for years in my practice: couples with "normal" semen analysis results who still have trouble when it comes to trying to conceive. Research shows that 20-30% of men with normal basic semen analysis could still be infertile, and we've had no way to identify them, until now. In this episode, we cover: What phosphatidylserine (PS) is and why it's critical for sperm to fuse with and fertilize an egg The major limitations of standard semen analysis (count, motility, morphology) and why 20-30% of men with "normal" results may still be infertile How the PS Detect test works using flow cytometry to assess over 10,000 sperm per sample The connection between varicocele and low PS scores—and how varicocelectomy surgery can restore PS levels to normal ranges When the PS test should be ordered in a fertility workup and what to do if scores are low Early data showing over 30% of men seeking fertility treatment have low PS scores, including those with normal semen analysis How this test can prevent women from undergoing unnecessary treatments when the male factor is undiagnosed Resources: PS Fertility website: .

Why Sperm Counts and Male Fertility Rates are Dropping: Count Down with guest Dr. Shanna Swan 03/09/2026

Why Sperm Counts and Male Fertility Rates are Dropping: Count Down with guest Dr. Shanna Swan Did you know that fertility rates have dropped 50% in the last 5 decades, and more and more people are requiring help to grow their family? Some are calling it "Spermageddon." I'm not one to run with fantastical headlines, but the truth is that we are facing an infertility epidemic. And, this is all heartbreaking for the people dealing with infertility, and for us as a society. Today, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Shanna Swan on The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about this upsetting truth. Dr. Swan is one of the world’s leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a Professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men’s and women’s reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. She just recently published her book, “Countdown: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race.” We will be talking about the data and information that Dr. Swan has gathered, the environmental factors that are playing a role, and what we can do to reverse some of the impact. I hope you'll tune in and share this information far and wide. CountMeIn on changing this epidemic - and thank you for writing your eye-opening new book, Dr. Swan.

Beyond IVF: PCOS, PGT-P, Rapamycin, and the Fertility Deep Dive with Dr. Steve Palter In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by Dr. Steven Palter, founder and medical director of Gold Coast IVF, to explore what happens when fertility care goes beyond quick fixes and becomes true detective work. Dr. Palter is internationally recognized for his innovative Palter Fertility Method - a systematic, personalized approach that treats infertility as a multilevel disease rather than a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. We discuss how metabolic health, emerging technologies, and surgical precision are transforming outcomes for patients who've been told they're out of options. In this episode, we cover: The Palter Fertility Method: diagnostic deep dives, success maps, and the "success spiral" approach to personalized fertility care How insulin resistance drives PCOS and why treating it like "diabetes of the ovary" can reverse infertility The PCOS to Pregnancy Protocol: using continuous glucose monitors, metabolic coaching, and low-carb interventions to restore ovulation PGT-P (preimplantation genetic testing for polygenic conditions): what it is, how it works, and the ethics of screening embryos for complex diseases like autism, Alzheimer's, and diabetes Rapamycin therapy for egg quality: the science behind this longevity drug and why it's showing remarkable results in women over 40 Advanced imaging and surgical techniques that uncover hidden causes of infertility like endometriosis, fibroids, and uterine abnormalities The importance of resistance training, zone-two exercise, and metabolic health for fertility and longevity Resources: Gold Coast IVF: Dr. Steven Palter on Instagram/TikTok/Facebook: Dr. Aimee's website: Do you have questions about IVF?

The Top 10 Reasons You're Having a Hard Time Getting Pregnant 02/27/2026

The Top 10 Reasons You're Having a Hard Time Getting Pregnant There are many things that can impact your ability to become pregnant. In today’s episode, I’m reviewing the top 10 things to consider if you are TTC. 1. Environmental Toxins. Avoid microwaving food in plastic containers or bottles. Always store food and glass or stainless steel containers. Million Marker offers a test to find out if you have in-body toxicity. 2. Chemicals in food and everyday products. Verify that the products you are using are chemical free. You can do that on 3. Being sedentary. The CDC and American College of OBGYN, both recommend exercise in amounts of 150 minutes per week. Avoid over exercising, as low BMI can also cause fertility issues. 4. Food allergies or intolerances. Work with a nutritionist to find out if you have a food allergy or other food intolerance. You may also want to consider working with a specialist if you have PCOS or working with a nutritionist like Rohini Bajekal to help you manage PCOS if you have it. 5. Blocked Fallopian Tubes. Check with your doctor to find out if this is what may be causing you to have a hard time TTC. 6. THC and Cannabinoids can affect the motility of the fallopian tube and the receptors in the lining of the uterus. This makes embryo implantation harder and it might not happen as quickly as you would want. 7. Nicotine. Nicotine can affect the DNA and the egg in the sperm cells, and it can also affect a woman's fertility such that she could go potentially into menopause earlier. 8. Blaming birth control pills. Many people think that birth control pills "cause" infertility, but the truth is that because they regulate your period they may be masking the indicators of infertility. Make sure you get your hormone levels checked with your doctor every year to confirm your levels. 9. Ignoring biology. Every woman is born with a finite number of eggs, and if you want to wait to have kids until later in life, be sure and freeze your eggs when you are in your 20s. 10. Not getting enough sleep. Curious about IVF? The next live class call is on Monday, March 9, 2026 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and egg freezing and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom.

How to Deal with a Negative Pregnancy Test 02/26/2026

How to Deal with a Negative Pregnancy Test Is your pregnancy test negative, again? Let’s get real. It sucks when we do everything we can in our power to make something happen, and it just doesn’t. If you’ve ever wanted to get pregnant, and have seen a negative result on the test, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It doesn’t matter if it’s one month of trying or 2 years…. “Trying to get pregnant” can be painful, and the phrase itself is defeatist. The mindset it establishes is one based on fear vs. love. I like to lead from a place of love, and encourage my patients to think positively. For that reason, I advocate for replacing it with, “preparing for pregnancy.” Doesn’t it just sound more peaceful, and open to the process? I think so. Regardless if you are on board with my line of thinking, I do want to share some helpful tips and suggestions so that your path to pregnancy is as informed and efficient as possible. Here are my top tips: My #1 tip for preparing for pregnancy is to NOT put blind faith in fertility apps. Tip #2: Develop a resilient, and positive mindset. Tip #3: Make use of science (diagnostic testing) to understand what could be preventing you from getting pregnant. Oh, and ask questions. Lots of them! Tip #4: Talk to your doctor about things you can do that are in your control like lifestyle and diet. Do you want to learn more about egg freezing?

Simple Tests That Reveal Your Fertility Future (The TUSHY Method) with Dr. Aimee, hosted by Whitney Hall 02/25/2026

Simple Tests That Reveal Your Fertility Future (The TUSHY Method) with Dr. Aimee, hosted by Whitney Hall I'm thrilled to join Whitney Hall on the Create a Happy Family podcast to share everything you need to know about taking control of your fertility journey before you even step into a doctor's office. I loved this conversation with Whitney so much that I'm sharing with you on The Egg Whisperer Show, too! As a fertility specialist with over 16 years of experience, I've seen too many people start their family-building journey without understanding their baseline fertility health, and I'm here to change that.
