The Egg Whisperer Show

IVF is a very emotional journey. It can be riddled with fear, doubt, and is full of periods of waiting and wondering. For my patients, I want to reduce any emotional or physical burdens by creating an IVF checklist for them. It covers the core essentials of everything we need to do, so there are no conversations that begin with, “I wish I would have…” down the road. I don’t want you to have to wonder if you’ve done everything you can to have a successful IVF outcome. This is true if you’re my patient, or you live half-way across the world. I want to equip you with a complete IVF checklist. I want you to feel prepared going into IVF so there is less chance of having any regrets if things don’t pan out as you hope they will. Of course, this can’t serve as your only guidance during IVF. Please discuss anything and everything with your doctor!

Lynn Jensen is a yoga expert, and she created the "Yoga for Fertility"program in 2002, after dealing with her own fertility challenges for several years. She practiced yoga while trying to conceive, and noticed that it had many benefits: it gave her more resilience, and helped with her mindset while going through fertility treatment. She wanted to take what she learned to help other women who are trying to conceive, and I could not be more excited to have her joining me on the podcast today! In addition to talking about the best poses for boosting your fertility, how yoga for fertility is different than regular yoga, and also she shares thoughts on why yoga can help anyone who is TTC: "Yoga can help shift your mindset to one where instead of this is something being "achieved," (we're trying to 'achieve' this pregnancy,) that actually what we're trying to do is receive. That's a very different mindset and a very different way to approach it."

Dr. Camran Nezhat is world renowned for his work in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and he specializes in treating people with endometriosis. He is best known for inventing video-assisted endoscopy and was the first to perform groundbreaking advances in minimally invasive surgical procedures that have helped millions of patients around the globe. Without his contributions, we would not have video-assisted laparoscopy as we know it. To say that it's an honor to have him on the show is an understatement! In 2020, Dr. Nezhat was chosen by the AMA as an exceptional innovator whose contributions have revolutionized modern day surgery, and for that work he received the Distinguished Service Award for meritorious service in the science and art of medicine. He's joining me today to talk about endometriosis, its treatment, and the role that minimally invasive surgery plays in assisting patients.

I encourage all of my patients to work with an acupuncturist during fertility treatment. ⁠ ⁠ Acupuncture is the "A" in my TEAM (Therapist, Eating well, Acupuncture, and Meditation), and there are many evidence based reasons to consider doing acupuncture during treatment. On the blog, I'm sharing a conversation with Judy Tognetti, a local acupuncturist. ⁠ ⁠ Here's her explanation of how acupuncture works for fertility patients:⁠ ⁠ "Fertility acupuncture is based on the concept of using the nervous system, lymphatic system, and balancing hormones. By utilizing certain points in the body, we’re able to adjust the hormones. If we use electrical stimulation, we’re able to secrete neurotransmitters. At certain amplitudes, we can secrete serotonin, dopamine, whatever it is that we’re trying to secrete.⁠ ⁠ Other than that, we’re using needle points that are selected over the ovaries or over the uterus to drive blood flow, increase lymphatic circulation, and balance the hormones. Basically, in a nutshell, that’s what it’s doing while we’re doing it."⁠ ⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Would you like to learn how to assess your fertility in 5 easy steps? The TUSHY Method provides an easier, more affordable way to navigate your fertility journey— with the highest likelihood for a healthy pregnancy.  Join Dr. Aimee for the next live class call for the TUSHY Method class on 2/20/23 at 4pm PST.

On the journey to growing a family, more and more people are choosing donor eggs or sperm as an option. As a community, it's time to further the conversation about how to embrace donor conception as an option because the fact is: every woman will run out of eggs at some point in her life, and it doesn't change the fact that she may still want to grow her family. I'm delighted to have author, and therapist, Jana Rupnow on the podcast this week to talk about donor conception. Find the full show notes on my website.
