There are so many important processes in our bodies that are controlled or affected directly by the health of our gut microbiome, and fertility is one of them. In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m joined by Josh Dech to talk about improving gut health for fertility.  Josh is an ex-paramedic and Holistic Nutritionist, specializing in Crohn’s, Colitis and other related gut issues. He’s helped to reverse over 250 cases of Crohn’s and colitis, and is a medical lecturer at Priority Health Academy, helping educate doctors on the holistic approach to gut health, and inflammatory bowel disease. He’s also the host of ReversABLE, a top podcast about gut health. I often talk about how important it is to fuel your body for it to feel the strongest it can as you go through your fertility journey, (that’s why the E in fertility TEAM stands for “eating and exercise”,) and gut health is a big part of the equation. This episode covers: How gut health specifically impacts fertility, and what are the key connections between the two. The role the gut plays in regulating hormones. Some of the ways that poor gut health can negatively impact fertility and what to watch out for. How gut health plays into caring for conditions like PCOS and endometriosis The steps you can take to improve gut health and boost your chances of conception.

I’m excited to share that today on The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m airing an interview where Dr. Susan Fox hosted me on her podcast!  We dive into a topic I’m passionate about—egg freezing—and Dr. Fox asks whether I involve acupuncturists during egg freezing cycles. The answer is YES!  I truly believe that building a "Fertility TEAM" is essential for a joyful and supported fertility journey. For me, TEAM stands for Therapy, Eating, Exercise, Acupuncture, Mindfulness, and Meditation. It’s not just about getting through tough moments; it’s about feeling supported and empowered throughout the entire process. As you’ll hear me share, there’s no better time to build your fertility TEAM than at the beginning of your journey. The time to build it isn’t when you have a devastating result. It’s important to be supported throughout the process because it’s not easy, and I want the journey to be one of joy. Acupuncture plays a huge role in helping patients feel more relaxed, improve recovery, and even feel stronger in early pregnancy. The right acupuncturist, with a true specialty in fertility, can be a game-changer. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

I use Depot Lupron in my practice quite a bit for patients who have implantation issues, mostly related to endometriosis. We can also use it for women who have fibroid uterus, adenomyosis, as well. Tune in, and I hope you get a chuckle just like I do when I share this stuff with you. Today on the Egg Whisperer Show Podcast, I'm sharing about the 10 things that you need to know to survive Depot Lupron. Think of this as your Depot Lupron survival guide. Here is a sampling of the top 5: 1. The first thing to realize is that you have to be prepared for dryness. I’m talking like communion wafer level of dryness. We’re talking about dryness in your vagina. Thank you, Depot Lupron. 2. Practice self care. 3. Mood change can occur with Depot Lupron, so you want to be prepared and be a proactive participant in what’s happening. 4. Eat like an adult, not like a garbage disposal teenager. 5. Keep your eye on the prize. As one of my patients says, “My race is not done yet, but I know love conquers all eventually. I’m here for it and I’m going to fight the good fight until I’m done. You can, too. Let’s go, girl.” Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

I’m so excited to have Maya, Jen, and Gina of EM•POWER with Moxi back for part two of our discussion about embryo donation! Today, we’re talking all about becoming a parent through embryo donation.

She also talks about some things to consider when you’re deciding if embryo donation is the right choice for you to grow your family. We also talk about genetic counseling, Empower with Moxi’s “Moxi Matching” service, and other ways that Empower with Moxi is supporting the community. The journey of becoming a parent through embryo donation is very special, and I’m so honored to have Maya, Jen, and Gina back to share more about the options, considerations, and beauty of embryo donation.  Read the full transcript of our conversation on the website.

In early 2019, Gina, Jen, and Maya came together as mamas on a mission to transform the landscape of embryo donation. Each of them had a different fertility journey that had a connection to embryo donation, and wanted to make embryo donation better understood, more inclusive, and more accessible. And, they wanted to bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and child well being. I'm so excited to have them on the show. In this episode (which is Part 1 of 2), we're covering donating embryos. Gina and Jen will be talking about options for people who want to donate their embryos, including the psychological considerations, and what patients should know before donating embryos to another family. I love what EM•POWER with Moxi does, and  I am delighted to have partnered with EM•POWER with Moxi to help guide patients through the things to consider if you are looking at embryo donation as a disposition option or a family building choice. You can click here to learn more.
