How It Ticks The Truth About Fertility That No One Talks About | Lisa Falco PT2
Show Notes
Lisa Falco, a data scientist, digital health expert, and leading figure in women’s health technology, joins me to unpack the science of fertility and reproductive health. With a PhD in Biomedical Imaging and a wealth of experience in FemTech, including her role as Director of Data Science at Ava, Lisa has been at the forefront of leveraging technology to help women better understand their bodies.
Expect to learn the data-driven realities of conception, including the impact of age, stress, and mental health on fertility, and whether knowing too much—like declining egg counts or miscarriage risks—can create counterproductive stress. Lisa shares insights on the transformations women experience during pregnancy and addresses common myths about conception, such as whether timing, position, or even lying with your feet in the air can improve your chances.
This is part two of my conversation with Lisa.
