Navigating Stress, Trauma, and Loss in Fertility Treatment with Dr. Loree Johnson

Navigating Stress, Trauma, and Loss in Fertility Treatment with Dr. Loree Johnson
When seeing patients, I always recommend people to gather their Fertility TEAM, and the T is for therapist. I'm so excited to have Dr. Loree Johnson share her valuable info with all of you today. In this conversation, we’re going to be talking about some of the mental health impacts of being a fertility patient. I’ll be asking Dr. Johnson about the difference between Infertility Stress and Infertility Trauma, we’re going to talk about grief as it relates to fertility (and how it’s different than other grief), and she’ll share how to navigate the stress of being pregnant after having loss. Dr. Loree Johnson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with more than 25 years of experience as a clinician, educator, and clinical supervisor. After her first-hand experience with fertility challenges taught her the importance of self-care for managing the physical and emotional stress that come with the fertility process, coupled with the lack of representation she saw of therapists of color in the fertility space, Dr. Loree found her purpose supporting individuals and couples on their path to parenthood. She and her husband welcomed their rainbow baby in 2021 after 8 years of trying to conceive, three losses, and one TFMR. Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America’s most well known fertility doctors. Her success rate at baby-making is what gives future parents hope when all hope is lost. She pioneered the TUSHY Method and BALLS Method to decrease your time to pregnancy.

Sperm DNA Fragmentation Testing: The Latest Tests for Abnormal Sperm with guest Dr Ramy Ghayda
I’m delighted to have Dr. Ramy Ghayda join me today to talk about sperm, and the importance of sperm DNA Fragmentation testing and how to improve sperm health. When trying to conceive it takes both an egg and sperm cell. And, as you'll hear Dr. Ghayda explain, we now have access to more tests for male factor infertility, and they are more affordable and accessible than ever. He and I both believe it's very important for people, and fertility patients (everyone, really!) to know their options and to be educated about what they can do to improve sperm quality, to test sperm quality. This can help make the whole journey the best it can be, and be one that hopefully leads to good outcomes. Dr. Ghayda is a reproductive urologist. He is currently an assistant professor at University Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio and the Chief Medical Officer at Legacy, a company that is revolutionizing how men and couples test and freeze sperm, from home. Thank you for joining me, Dr. Ramy!

Sperm Health, Aging, and Male Infertility with guest Dr. Kristin Brogaard

Sperm Health, Aging, and Male Infertility with guest Dr. Kristin Brogaard
Today, Dr. Kristin Brogaard is joining me today to talk about the Path Fertility SpermQT test. I’m so excited to have her share about the test, because as you’ll hear her say “lots of infertility goes undiagnosed because men go undiagnosed, and when men go undiagnosed, women go through procedures that will not work.” (Who else wants to see this on a bumper sticker?) While sperm were long considered to be just carriers of DNA, it turns out they are a lot more complex than that! Understanding the sperm side of the equation can help anyone trying to conceive better understand what’s going on, and help them figure out the best plan to get pregnant. A few exciting highlights from our discussion: Male and sperm epigenetics play a big role in getting pregnant, and having a successful live birth. The SpermQT test can tell someone if their sperm is excellent, average, or poor quality. - Knowing this information can help you and your doctor determine the most efficient and appropriate next steps in your treatment or protocols. Understanding the quality of the sperm can lead to better outcomes. If it is “excellent,” there is an increased likelihood of IUI working, even in cases where doctors thought sperm might be the issue with getting pregnant. If sperm quality is “poor,” you may want to try making lifestyle changes to improve sperm quality, and retest. - Poor sperm quality often correlates with other longer term health issues for men, as sperm acts as a “canary in the coal mine.” (an early warning system) Dr. Kristin Brogaard has a PhD from Northwestern University where she developed a novel epigenetic technology that allowed for a more accurate understanding of gene expression in health and disease cells. She is now the chief scientific officer of Path Fertility, whose goal is to raise the standard in male reproductive health, starting with male infertility. Thank you for joining us, Kristin!

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.

Fertility Myths Debunked

Fertility Myths Debunked
Do you think you can put botox in your ovaries? You know, plump up those older eggs to regain their youthfulness? Nope, sorry. Not possible. Or have you thought that because you can take a youthful looking selfie, and feel great, that your fertility must be picture perfect too? Nope, sorry. Good selfies don’t equal good fertility. But you’re not dumb. You know that. But there may be some tricky information out there that you’re not entirely sure if it’s true. Fertility isn’t surface level. It’s not skin-deep. It’s biology. It’s what’s deep inside, and yet impacted by what’s outside of you too. Suffice to say, it can be complex. Which is why I’m here. I’m certainly a fertility doctor with over a decade of training and advanced degrees that have gotten me to the point where I finally know how to make a baby.

Top Reasons You're Having a Hard Time Getting Pregnant

Top 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 and 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 using Pollie.co 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.

The Best Fertility Treatment Options
People seem to always be full of advice about fertility, and while most of it comes from a place of wanting to be helpful, not all of it is well informed or welcome.

In this episode, I’m sharing the types of treatments that fertility doctors offer to patients, including information about fertility pills, fertility shots, IUI, and IVF. I’m also outlining some of the natural things you can do to improve your chances of conceiving, like salt floats, hypnotherapy, and self care. Would you like to learn more about IVF?
