Welcome to another episode of The Egg Whisperer Show! I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation that could change the way you think about fertility and family health. My guest is Dr. Ann Shippy, a board-certified functional medicine physician and author of "The Preconception Revolution: A Science-Backed Path to Fertility and Generational Health." With nearly two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Shippy shares her personal journey from engineering to medicine, and how her own fertility challenges inspired her to empower future parents with the latest research in epigenetics, environmental health, and functional medicine.

In this episode, we cover:

Dr. Ann Shippy's personal fertility story and what led her to write "The Preconception Revolution"
The science of epigenetics and how preconception choices impact generational health
The BIRTH framework: Believe, Introspect, Renew, Thrive, and Hope
The impact of environmental toxins (like plastics, pesticides, and mold) on fertility and how to reduce exposure
The importance of nutrition, blood sugar regulation, and the microbiome for both men and women
Why men's preconception health matters just as much as women's
Practical steps for detoxification and testing for toxins
The effects of alcohol, marijuana, and other substances on fertility
Encouragement for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the process
