The Egg Whisperer Show

I'm so excited to share today's Ask The Egg Whisperer. This week, I answered your thoughtful questions about fertility challenges, treatment options, and the science behind conditions like endometriosis. We talked about whether endometriosis can be passed from mother to daughter, how lifestyle changes and supplements may affect egg quality, and what options are available if you've had an abnormal HSG or blocked fallopian tube. My goal is always to give you clear, compassionate answers while helping you feel more empowered on your fertility journey. In addition, I dove into questions around protocols for Omnitrope and low-stimulation cycles, the potential role of supplements like CoQ10 and inositol, and whether HGH is safe for patients with certain genetic risks. I also shared my perspective on fertility at age 42, including what steps you can take to make the most of your options. These conversations remind me why I love connecting with you all: your questions not only help guide our discussions but also show how much strength, resilience, and curiosity you bring to this process. Here are a few of the questions I answered: 💙Is endometriosis passed from mother to daughter? 💙Can supplements and an anti-inflammatory diet improve egg quality before IVF? 💙Would you recommend Omnitrope in an IVF protocol for patients with endometriosis? 💙Are there supplements that truly support fertility? 💙What are the chances of getting pregnant at 42? 💙Is HGH safe for patients with BRCA2? 💙What are the risks and options if you have a blocked fallopian tube? ✨ If you have a fertility question, I'd love to hear it!

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm really excited to be joined by Dr. Ellen Vora. I feel we are very much alike. She's passionate about easing the real suffering that people experience from anxiety and mental health issues. I can't wait to have her come on and share some new insights about anxiety (it turns out it's not just a "neck up" problem), the difference between "false" anxiety and true anxiety, and how to handle the anxiety that often comes up as a fertility patient. We'll also be talking more about her book, which came out this year, titled "The Anatomy of Anxiety." Dr. Ellen Vora is a holistic psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root. Dr. Vora received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University, and she is board-certified in psychiatry and integrative holistic medicine. She lives in New York City with her husband and daughter. Read the full transcript on Dr. Aimee's Website. Visit Dr. Ellen Vora's site.

In this episode, I'm answering one of the most common questions I get from all of you: How can I improve embryo quality? And, I also very often get the questions of how could I improve egg and sperm quality too? I'm really excited to talk about this with you today!! The thing is this, there are three factors that influence egg, sperm and embryo quality that I want you to know about. Once you know about it, then you can do something about how these three things come into play in your life. And the three factors that I want you to know about are age, genetics, and environment.

Your Genetics are a key part of my TUSHY Method (Y = Your genetics) and I'm so honored to have Dena Goldberg (also known far and wide as Dena DNA) joining me today! Some of the questions I know you have on your mind about genetics are: Nothing came back on my 23 & Me test. I'm good to go, right? Answer: Not so fast. 23&Me relies on "SNP testing," and only looks at "very specific bookmarks on very random genes." You'll want a more thorough test for preconception screening. I don't have any history of disease in my family. Do I need to do genetic testing? Answer: It's a good idea. There are syndromes such as Lynch Syndrome that are asymptomatic in 90% of people who are carriers. You'll want to know if you have those genetic markers before passing them on to your embryo and child. Can you make sure my embryo doesn't have autism? Answer: Autism is actually a description of a constellation of symptoms. So it's not an underlying condition in and of itself. There are hundreds to thousands of genetic causes to autism. We can catch some of these cases, but not all. Autism is multifactorial, meaning that many of these cases are probably caused by a combination of genetics and environment or in other words, nature and nurture together.

I'm excited to share this episode, where I joined Dr. Kirti Patel to talk all about egg freezing on The Gynarchy Podcast. We discuss why egg freezing matters, how it works, and what every woman should know about her fertility options. As a fertility specialist with deep roots in women's health (and a family legacy in OB/GYN), I'm passionate about empowering women with the knowledge and choices they deserve. In this conversation, I share my personal journey, the inspiration behind my work, and why I believe education is the key to reproductive autonomy. During our interview, Dr. Patel and I dive into the evolving landscape of egg freezing, the cultural and societal factors influencing women's choices, and the realities (both medical and emotional) of fertility preservation. We discuss the science, the misconceptions, and the importance of making informed decisions, whether you're considering egg freezing for yourself or just want to better understand your reproductive health. My goal is to demystify the process and help women feel confident, not fearful, about their options. In this episode, we cover: My personal and professional journey into fertility medicine, including generational influences and early experiences in my father's practice The origins and evolution of "egg freezing parties" and how they've become a platform for education and empowerment The step-by-step process of egg freezing, including preparation, testing, and what to expect physically and emotionally Common side effects, risks, and the psychological impact of fertility treatments The role of genetics, age, and lifestyle in fertility planning, and how to personalize your approach Debunking myths: egg freezing as an "insurance policy," who should consider it, and the realities of success rates The intersection of workplace benefits, societal pressures, and reproductive rights in the context of fertility care Resources: Dr. Kirti Patel's website and The Gynarchy podcast (go subscribe!)
