Fertility challenges are becoming all too common, and it's not just about trying to get pregnant. It's about the bigger picture of how our health today shapes the next generation. I sat down with my dear friend, Dr. Ann Shippy, a brilliant Functional Medicine Physician and Author of The Preconception Revolution, to talk about what's really driving the rise in infertility and what we can do about it long before conception even happens.   Dr. Ann has such a unique perspective. She started out as a chemical engineer before becoming a doctor, so she looks at the body like a system: one we can optimize, not just fix. We got into the science of epigenetics (don't worry, we keep it real and relatable!) and how the choices we make every day, what we eat, breathe, and put on our skin, can literally change our health and our children's future. She also shared simple, practical steps for detoxing, boosting fertility for both men and women, and building a healthier foundation overall.   Whether you're dreaming of a baby or just want to feel your best at any stage of life, this conversation will make you think differently about your health and the legacy you're creating.   And because the holidays are here, grab my Free Holiday Recipe Guide. 29 pages of delicious, hormone-friendly Keto-Green recipes that let you indulge without the crash or guilt.

Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych explores the tragic and complex history of the swastika — a sacred symbol of well-being and auspiciousness in Indian traditions that was later twisted by the Nazis into one of the most feared emblems of hatred in modern history. Heather traces how the symbol's meaning shifted as it crossed cultural and historical boundaries, reflecting on how words and images can be deliberately or unconsciously transformed over time. Drawing from her background in Ayurveda, as a writer, and her personal experience as an American mother of child from a Jewish lineage, she asks whether a symbol can ever be healed, and how awareness, empathy, and communication might help us reconnect to the body of meaning beneath the wounds of history. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent. Her podcast, Wisdom of the Body, holds an average rating of 5 stars on Apple Podcasts and is in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally.  Connect with Heather: Learn more at www.heathergrzych.com   Instagram.com/heathergrzych Facebook.com/grzychheather   Read the first six pages of The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility for FREE: https://www.heathergrzych.com   Connect with Heather to balance your health with Ayurveda: https://www.heathergrzych.com/book-online

In this episode of The Fertility Podcast, we've gone back to the archive to share a chat I had a little while back with Kevin McEleny, Consultant Urologist at Newcastle Fertility Centre and Nuffield Health. Kevin is a specialist in male fertility and urology and has worked for years to raise awareness around the crucial but often overlooked role of male health in fertility care.We talk about how much of male fertility is still ignored, under-tested and underfunded, and what that means for couples trying to conceive. As someone who has experienced male factor infertility personally, this episode means a lot to me, and I know it will to many of you too.Whether you're going through IVF, facing a male factor diagnosis, or simply wanting to understand the full picture, I hope this episode helps you feel more informed and empowered.What we discuss in this episode:Why it's still so common for men to be left out of fertility investigationsWhat kinds of tests should be done for men and why basic semen analysis isn't enoughWhy timing, hormones and lifestyle can drastically impact sperm qualityWhat conditions might be missed if men aren't tested properlyThe emotional toll male fertility issues can take, and why support is essentialWhat male patients should expect when seeing a urologist or fertility specialistWhy early and equal testing matters for both partnersKevin also explained Kleinfelter Syndrome and how it can go undetected without the right support and investigation This episode is a call for more inclusive care, not just for women, but for men too. Because fertility is a shared journey, and everyone deserves to be heard.Special thanks to Examen, sponsor of this episodeExamen offers direct, cutting-edge sperm DNA fragmentation testing (including both single and double-strand DNA damage), used by 85% of fertility clinics across the UK and Ireland.Tests are:Non-invasiveAvailable via clinics or partner hubsDesigned to provide clarity, confidence and actionable insightYou don't need a referral to get tested.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. This week, the docs welcome Dr. Nadine Al Kaisi, MD, a reproductive endocrinologist at Eggcellent Fertility, who brings an international perspective to the fertility field. Dr. Al Kaisi has practiced reproductive medicine across Germany, Spain, Belgium, and London, giving her a unique understanding of how fertility care differs around the world. In Germany, for example, preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is not routinely performed and is used only in specific cases, such as when both partners carry a genetic condition or when sperm morphology is abnormal. Unlike in the US, much of fertility treatment in Germany is covered by insurance, creating a hybrid system that includes both public and private options. German laws impose strict limitations on fertility options outside of IVF. Egg freezing is restricted to married individuals, and same-sex couples are not eligible for treatment. Sperm donation is permitted but tightly regulated, with minimal information about the donor. At age 16, the donor-conceived child is able to contact the donor. Dr. Al Kaisi also explains how clinics in Germany perform natural cycle IVF, freeze embryos at the pronuclear stage, and transfer only one embryo per cycle. Other European countries, such as Spain and the Czech Republic, have more liberal practices—similar to the United States—though surrogacy remains prohibited. This is an interesting perspective on the different ways IVF is done in other countries. This podcast was sponsored by RMA New York.

What does Trump's "Father of Fertility" claim really mean? How might his new IVF announcements impact real patients? And could policies disguised as "restorative" actually restrict reproductive freedom?  In this timely episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine sits down with Jessie Losch, Director of Government Affairs at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), to talk about the politics, promises, and pitfalls surrounding the latest White House statements on fertility care. Jessie helps clarify what the October 16th announcement actually said — and what it didn't. Together, they explain Trump's partnership with pharmaceutical company EMD Serono, the creation of TrumpRx, and the proposed insurance coverage changes that claim to make IVF more affordable.  With so much misinformation swirling, Jessie explains how ASRM advocates for patients and providers in a rapidly shifting policy landscape, especially as fertility care becomes increasingly politicized in a post-Roe world. Listeners will learn what's real and what's rhetoric in these "pro-IVF" promises, what the emerging term Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) really means, and how it could threaten access to standard fertility treatments.  Dr. Shahine and Jesse discuss the nuance behind headlines, the importance of informed consent, and practical steps patients and clinicians can take to support advocacy efforts through ASRM and RESOLVE. In this episode you'll hear: [2:12] Understanding ASRM's role in advocacy [6:15] An explanation of Trump's IVF announcement [12:13] What is TrumpRX? And what does it mean for patients?

In this episode, we discuss a recently released research snapshot titled “Utah Women and Fertility: Trends and Changes from 1970–2023.” This snapshot examines how cultural, social, economic, religious, and personal factors have shaped childbearing decisions in Utah over time. Using state and national data, the report explores whether Utah's fertility trends align with or diverge from national patterns. The analysis highlights four key areas: fertility trends, marital status, cultural contexts by decade, and considerations for the future.

I used to assume conception began at the first sign of pregnancy — until I learned about Trimester Zero. The 100-day window before conception may be the most powerful period in shaping your baby's lifelong health — and your own. In this minisode, I sit down with Vida Delrahim and Ronit Menashe, co-founders of WeNatal, to unpack what science now calls the pre-pregnancy trimester. We talk about how both women and men can dramatically influence fertility and genetics before conception through nutrition, lifestyle, and the health of one mighty organelle — the mitochondria.This episode features highlights from our full conversation, which premiered August 12th, 2025. Watch the full episode here → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gztCFH603g About the guests:After experiencing miscarriages just a week apart, best friends Vida and Ronit were devastated — and confused. Both were healthy, both on prenatal vitamins, and yet doctors dismissed their losses as “random” or “age-related.” They partnered with leading experts, pored over research, and created a science-backed prenatal system for both women and men. What began as a personal mission has grown into WeNatal — a movement giving couples the knowledge, tools, and products to support conception, pregnancy, and the lifelong health of future generations. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by fertility advice, confused by your cycle, or frustrated by the lack of answers, this conversation is going to be a game-changer.

How to track your cycle effectively: the difference between apps, basal body temperature, LH testing, and what's truly worth your time. What it means to live hormonally healthy: Dr. Crawford's science-backed approach to balancing inflammation, insulin resistance, stress, sleep, and nutrition. Toxic exposures and endocrine disruptors: practical ways to reduce everyday chemicals that can affect your fertility and hormones.

Millions of women struggle with infertility worldwide. And if you're one of them, you're not alone.  But in this inspiring episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Ann Shippy to unpack the growing fertility crisis—and more importantly, what you can do to turn things around.  Dr. Shippy shares how the integrative and functional medicine approach helps women heal their gut, support detoxification, manage stress, and supercharge their mitochondria to naturally boost fertility and have healthier pregnancies.  We also dive into the world of epigenetics—how the choices you make before conception can literally shape how your baby's genes are expressed for lifelong health.  Dr. Shippy's message is clear: preconception care isn't just about getting pregnant, it's about setting up the next generation for success.  Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, taking time to optimize your health before conceiving can make all the difference for you AND your baby.  Tune in to learn how intentional steps today can lead to healthier pregnancies, thriving babies, and an empowered path to motherhood. Dr. Ann Shippy  Dr. Ann Shippy is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician and certified Functional Medicine practitioner. Before entering the world of medicine, Dr. Shippy spent years as a chemical engineer—a role that shaped her precision-driven, systems-based approach to health. Her transition to medicine was born from personal health struggles and a desire to uncover the root causes of illness rather than treating just symptoms alone. As the founder of Every Baby Well, Dr. Shippy empowers couples to prepare for healthy pregnancies through science-backed protocols, lab testing, and functional strategies. Motivated by the rising rates of chronic illness and developmental challenges in children, she authored The Preconception Revolution: A Science-Backed Path to Your Fertility and Generational Health, a practical and hopeful guide to optimizing health before conception. IN THIS EPISODE How changes in lifestyle can alter fertility AND epigenetics  Functional medicine approaches for boosting fertility The importance of healthy preconception practices for fertility and the long-term health of your children  Getting your partner involved for preconception success  Non-negotiable supplements in addition to your prenatal  Why a 90-day+ detoxification can boost conception success  Practical lifestyle and nutrition recommendations for fertility The numbers and science behind the current fertility crisis  QUOTES“What I realized is that as we're improving fertility, we're also changing something called epigenetics– how the genes are getting expressed, the little time capsules that are being passed on to the babies with the egg and the sperm, and it would help the kids be healthier.”  “What I hope happens with this message is that even people in their 20s have access to this information about how important it is for them to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. “ RESOURCES MENTIONED Pre-order Dr. Ann Shippy's Book: The Preconception Revolution  https://annshippymd.com/the-preconception-revolution/ Pre-order The Preconception Revolution on Amazon  https://amzn.to/43aDxH5 Dr. Ann Shippy's Website Every Baby Well Website Dr. Ann Shippy on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  #530: The Critical Role That Nutrient Deficiencies Play In Fertility and Conception And How To Close The Gap with Lisa Dreher #428: The Most Important Solutions To Implement to Protect Our Fertility with Dr. Christiane Northrup 688: Unlock Cellular Energy and Longevity with Urolithin A + Mitochondrial Optimization with  Jen Scheinman  683: Aging in Reverse: How Women Over 40 Can Boost Energy, Lose Weight & Rewrite Their Story with Natalie Jill
