Podcasts about Fertility

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OBGYN and REI, reframes fertility as a key health signal, not just about getting pregnant. Whether you want kids soon, someday, or aren't sure, this episode helps you understand your cycle, your egg reserve, and what you can start doing today to protect your hormonal and reproductive health. Key Topics: 1. Ovarian Reserve - What your “egg reserve” really means (and why it's not just about infertility) - The difference between how many eggs you have and how healthy they are - How hormones and ultrasound can give a snapshot of how your ovaries are doing 2. Understanding Your Test Results - Why numbers like AMH can change and shouldn't be seen as a verdict on your future - How “low” or “normal” depends on your age and overall health, not just a lab range - Why testing is about getting information and options, not panic 3. Influencing Factors & Taking Control - How everyday inflammation  can affect hormones and eggs - The role of sleep, strength training, and blood-sugar balance in supporting fertility - When it makes sense to push for testing, see a fertility specialist, or change doctors 4. Charting Your Fertility Path - How to actually track your cycle beyond an app prediction - Using cycle changes as early warning signals - Thinking ahead: egg freezing, earlier trying, or simply lifestyle changes Pre-order Dr. Crawford's debut book, The Fertility Formula, now! ⁠https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/book⁠ Want to receive my weekly newsletter?

 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. In this episode, the docs cover everything patients should consider if they plan to start IVF in the next couple of months. They begin with practical but essential advice, especially at the start of a new year, such as re-verification of insurance to ensure the coverage you expect is still in place. They review important lifestyle considerations: diabetes and high blood pressure should be well controlled, weight-loss efforts should begin sooner rather than later if needed, and now is the time to adjust habits or foods that may not support fertility. The doctors discuss the importance of starting supplements early, especially prenatal vitamins, vitamin D, and folic acid, since these nutrients play a critical role even before pregnancy is detected. The team also reviews the value of an up-to-date physical exam and age-appropriate screenings, including mammograms for women over 40. They stress the importance of evaluating the male partner as well, including semen analysis and routine infectious disease testing required by most fertility clinics. Finally, they highlight key pre-IVF testing, such as saline sonograms to assess tubal patency, to ensure patients are ready to begin treatment without delay.

I'm sharing my vision for the future of fertility care, and why it's time for a major shift in how we support people who are trying to conceive. Fertility struggles affect 1 in 6 couples worldwide, yet far too many people face stigma, delays in diagnosis, and fragmented care. I believe we need a new model, one that puts patients first, embraces technology, and recognizes fertility as a vital part of our overall health. I'll walk you through how I think fertility care can evolve to be more proactive, inclusive, and empowering. From early testing and education to AI-driven support and more human-centered clinics, this episode is all about imagining what's possible, and how we can get there. In this episode, I cover: Why we need a patient-first approach to fertility care The role of early testing and fertility awareness in better outcomes How technology and AI can support personalized treatment What inclusive, stigma-free care looks like My vision for the next generation of fertility clinics Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

He discusses his out-of-body experiences and how they reshaped his understanding of existence, leading him to explore the connections between ancient texts, astronomy, and the cycles of nature. He demonstrates the significance of celestial bodies in ancient cultures, the symbolism of fertility, and the agency of nature as perceived by ancient civilizations. Quitt emphasizes the importance of the pyramids as celestial clocks and the interconnectedness of symbols across different cultures, suggesting a shared ancient knowledge that transcends time and geography. We discuss the duality of the serpent in various cultures, including its representation in Christianity, and how these ancient stories have been passed down through generations, revealing a shared knowledge across civilizations.

Arianna knew something wasn't right with her cycle, but when she went to her doctor, they just prescribed birth control. It didn't work. So they added a second form of birth control. Then, a third!

Dr. Phil sits down with Dr. Ann Shippy to reveal how the months and years before pregnancy shape a child's lifelong health and why today's fertility crisis has less to do with age and far more to do with toxins, inflammation, stress, and our modern environment. Get Book Here: https://annshippymd.com/the-preconception-revolution/ For decades, women have been told their fertility is on a countdown clock but what if age isn't the real problem? Dr. Phil welcomes Dr. Ann Shippy, a leading expert in the emerging preconception movement, to uncover the science showing how the 3–36 months before pregnancy can influence a child's lifelong health. Dr. Shippy explains how toxins, chronic inflammation, endocrine disruptors, stress, and the microbiome silently shape fertility for both men and women. She shares how couples even well into their 40s, can dramatically improve egg and sperm health, reduce miscarriage risk, and give their future children a stronger foundation of genetic resilience. From environmental chemicals and gut health to hormone balance and the male fertility crisis, Dr. Phil digs into the psychology and misinformation surrounding modern parenthood. This is not about fear, it's about power. Small changes today may change the trajectory of a child's life before they're even conceived.Dr. Ann Shippy:https://annshippymd.com/https://www.instagram.com/annshippymd/https://www.facebook.com/AnnShippyMD/https://www.linkedin.com/in/annshippymdhttps://www.pinterest.com/annshippymdWatch Envoy Your Way:The new home of Dr. Phil.

Something is off.Women are doing everything right and still feeling disconnected from their bodies. Hormones feel unpredictable. Cycles feel confusing. Pregnancy feels harder to achieve. And the answers feel fragmented, politicized, or buried beneath noise.In this episode, Bryce sits down with nurse practitioner and fertility consultant Ilana Robbins Renfroe to explore the deeper layers of modern fertility. Not from a place of fear, but from a place of responsibility, awareness, and empowerment.We talk about the quiet pressures women carry today. The collision of modern gender roles, dating culture, delayed family planning, socially normalized sexual habits, and chronic stress. We unpack the invisible forces shaping fertility including microplastics, environmental toxins, food quality, endocrine disruptors, hormonal birth control, and the growing questions around medical policies, vaccines, trust, and informed consent.This is not a conversation about sides.It is a conversation about systems.Bodies.Environment.Truth.And the courage to ask better questions.This episode is for women who want clarity.For men who want to support them better.For couples trying to build families in a world that feels increasingly unnatural.Your body is not broken.It is responding to the world it lives in.⸻Key Quotes from the Episode“Fertility is not just about reproduction. It is a reflection of total health.”“Your body is always responding to its environment, not betraying you.”“Confusion grows when conversations are rushed and questions are dismissed.”“Modern women are carrying ancient biology inside a very unnatural world.”“Informed consent requires space, honesty, and humility.”“Fertility is a dialogue between hormones, safety, stress, and environment.”⸻Key Takeaways• Fertility challenges are multifactorial, not personal failures• Environment, lifestyle, and stress matter as much as biology• Asking questions is an act of responsibility, not rebellion• Men and women share the fertility journey equally• Awareness creates power without creating fear• The goal is alignment, not perfection⸻Timestamps00:00 Welcome and why this conversation matters now04:30 Ilana's background and work in fertility care09:20 The modern fertility decline and global trends15:40 Gender roles, dating culture, and delayed family planning22:10 Stress, safety, and the nervous system28:45 Birth control and cycle awareness35:30 Microplastics, toxins, and everyday exposure43:00 Food quality and endocrine disruption49:10 Vaccines, trust, and informed consent conversations57:20 Male fertility and shared responsibility1:02:40 Preparing the body for pregnancy1:09:00 Bridging medicine, lifestyle, and intuition1:15:30 Final reflections and hope forward⸻Call to ActionIf this episode sparked curiosity, reflection, or conversation, share it with someone you love.Follow Bryce for grounded conversations on fitness, life, and truth. @therealbrycesmithFollow ALLSMITH for lifestyle design, community, and long form dialogue that goes deeper than headlines.@allsmithcoFollow Ilana Robbins Renfroe and her company to learn more about fertility education, women's health, and conscious family building.@nernz20Your health is not a trend.Your body is not broken.And better questions create better livesThank you for Listening!

Today, I am delighted to be joined by the pioneers who changed everything for me. They are Larry and Belinda Wurn, the creators of Clear Passage therapy. We are diving into a topic today that was pivotal in my own fertility journey. We're talking about adhesions, the invisible internal bonds that form after surgery, infection, or trauma, quietly disrupting your body in ways most people never suspect. They can block fallopian tubes, trigger chronic pain, cause bowel obstructions, and prevent conception, yet most women are unaware of them. After being left with a frozen pelvis and debilitating pain following surgery and radiation, doctors told Belinda she would live with pain forever. Larry and Belinda refused to accept that, and over the next 40 years, they developed a therapy that has helped about 2,000 women reverse infertility, avoid major surgeries, and reclaim their lives without drugs or surgery. Their work was game-changing for me, and I know it can help many of you, too.  Stay tuned to learn what adhesions are, how they affect fertility and overall health, and how this remarkable therapy works. Techniques to Reduce Adhesion-Related Tightness Gentle abdominal massage using light fingertip pressure over the abdomen Diaphragmatic breathing to relax the abdominal wall and support tissue glide Pelvic and hip mobility movements (slow tilts, circles, and side bends) Walking or other low-impact movement to maintain circulation and flexibility Soft myofascial stretching with long, gentle holds Light heat therapy to relax superficial tension and improve comfort Bio: Larry & Belinda Wurn Larry and Belinda Wurn are physical therapists who have spent over 40 years developing Clear Passage®️ therapy, a non surgical, drug free, hands on approach designed to reduce adhesions and restore function. Their work began after Belinda developed a frozen pelvis following surgery and radiation in 1984. When doctors warned further surgery would worsen her condition, the couple pursued extensive training and began creating manual techniques to decrease adhesions naturally. Clear Passage®️ therapy has been supported by peer reviewed research and shown to reverse infertility, reduce chronic pain, improve sexual function, and clear bowel obstructions. The Wurns train therapists internationally, with clinics serving patients across the USA and UK. In this episode: What adhesions are, and why most women never even know they have them How adhesions impact women's health and fertility Why conventional scans cannot detect adhesions How trained practitioners detect the presence of adhesions The benefits of Clear Passage Therapy over conventional treatment  The best way to schedule your Clear Passage therapy sessions for the most effective results  How to maintain the results after Clear Passage therapy Links and Resources: ⁠⁠Use code CREATINE to get 10% off Creatine Calocurb Clinical — Appetite & Craving SupportA practitioner-exclusive, plant-based supplement designed to enhance your body's natural fullness signals (GLP-1 and PYY), helping reduce cravings and calorie intake.

Send us a textWhat happens when an embryo never even makes it to the report? In this week's episode of Taco About Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols tackles the complicated world of high-level mosaic embryos—the lesser-known, often misunderstood siblings of low-level mosaics.Learn why some labs label these embryos as “aneuploid,” why others report them as “mosaic,” and how that single label could decide whether an embryo is transferred or discarded.We break down the true live birth odds, explain what high-level mosaicism really means, and walk through the trade-offs between not testing, testing and discarding, or testing and keeping everything.Whether you're over 40, deep into IVF, or just weighing your PGT options, this episode will give you the clarity you need to make the right decision for your fertility journey.

How much does your morning coffee or weekend wine matter when trying to conceive? In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur unpacks the science behind caffeine and alcohol—and how both can impact ovulation quality, luteal phase strength, miscarriage risk, and sperm health. You'll learn evidence-based limits for men and women, how timing matters just as much as quantity, and how to make changes without fear or perfectionism. This restorative approach helps protect hormones, improve sleep, and promote fertility—without unnecessary stress. Learn more or book a free discovery call at radiantclinic.com

What if the confusion around fasting and hormones isn't because the science is complicated, but because most people are using the wrong tools for the wrong goals? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to get clear about what fasting actually does, when it helps, and when it backfires. This is a conversation about taking ownership of your metabolism instead of chasing trends that don't match your life. We talk about the viral moment from her Stephen Bartlett interview, how misinformation spreads, and what she learned from being at the center of it. Mindy breaks down her six core fasts, why women need a different strategy, and how to adjust your approach if you train hard. We get into cycle-based fasting, fertility, menopause, HRT, toxic load, peptides, creatine, apple cider vinegar, and the rise of GLP-1 drugs. If you've ever wondered how to use fasting without wrecking your energy or performance, this episode will give you a clearer path forward. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author, educator, and functional health expert known as the fasting guru. Her books Fast Like a Girl and Age Like a Girl have helped millions of women rethink metabolic health, hormones, and aging, and she has led hundreds of thousands of people through community fasts that focus on real-world results, not quick fixes.

This episode lays out the blueprint for having healthier children later in life by treating preconception as the most important window for human health. You'll learn why fertility is not just about getting pregnant, but about building the biological foundation that shapes a child's brain development, metabolism, immune function, and long term resilience. This conversation reframes infertility as a meaningful signal to pause, repair, and prepare, instead of something to override or rush past. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Dr. Ann Shippy is a board-certified internal medicine physician, certified functional medicine practitioner, and a leading expert in preconception health and fertility optimization. A former IBM chemical engineer, she brings a rare systems-based and data-driven approach to uncovering the root causes of infertility, chronic disease, and hormonal dysfunction. Through her Austin-based medical practice, she has helped men and women restore fertility naturally and conceive healthy children well into their 40s using advanced lab testing, precision supplements, and targeted functional medicine strategies. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Shippy explore why childhood illness and infertility are rising at the same time, and how environmental toxins, mold exposure, microbiome imbalances, sleep disruption, and chronic inflammation undermine fertility in both men and women. They discuss the role of mitochondria, circadian rhythms, thyroid health, testosterone, and epigenetics in reproductive health, and why IVF should not be the first step without addressing underlying biological dysfunction. You'll Learn: • Why preconception matters more than pregnancy for long term child health • How sperm and egg quality act as biological time capsules for future generations • Why infertility functions as a warning signal instead of a random failure • How environmental toxins and mold exposure disrupt fertility and mitochondrial health • The connection between fertility, longevity, and overall human performance • Why sleep, circadian rhythm, and stress strongly influence reproductive hormones • The role of thyroid function and testosterone in fertility and metabolism • When IVF makes sense and why it should not bypass foundational health work Thank you to our sponsors!

Dr. Natalie Crawford, OBGYN and REI, sits down with licensed acupuncturist Sadie Minkoff to discuss how acupuncture fits into the bigger picture of hormones, stress, and fertility. They explore how this approach can work alongside traditional medical care so you can feel more informed and less alone on your fertility journey. Key Topics: 1. What Acupuncture Really Is - Rethinking what “needles” actually mean in this setting - Seeing acupuncture as part of a larger, whole‑body system - How this approach aims to gently “nudge” the body 2. Fertility, Hormones, and Stress - How stress and inflammation can interfere with hormones and ovulation - Ways acupuncture may calm the nervous system and support balance - Why “normal tests” don't always mean your body feels normal 3. Using Acupuncture on the Fertility Journey - How it can be used when TTC spontaneously, with IUI, or with IVF - Why timing sessions around your cycle and treatments can matter - How it may support egg quality, implantation, and early pregnancy 4. Finding Care and Knowing Your Options - What to look for in a fertility‑focused acupuncturist - What a typical first visit and follow‑up might look like - Options if you can't access in‑person care, including at‑home support Check out Sadie's Practice Website https://reproductiveacupuncture.com/ Follow Sadie's Practice on IG @sageacupunctureaustin Pre-order Dr. Crawford's debut book, The Fertility Formula, now! ⁠https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/book⁠ Want to receive my weekly newsletter?

 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. In this episode, the docs welcome visiting physician Dr. Shelley Dolitsky from Shady Grove Fertility in Towson, Maryland, for an in-depth conversation about recurrent pregnancy loss. Dr. Dolitsky begins by reviewing how different professional organizations define recurrent pregnancy loss. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine considers two or more losses—including very early biochemical losses—to be recurrent pregnancy loss, while the American College of OB/GYN defines it as two clinical losses under 20 weeks. The docs discuss how age dramatically affects miscarriage risk, with up to 75% of women over 40 experiencing miscarriages, compared with an overall rate of three to five percent. They walk through the full evaluation, which includes assessing the uterine cavity for abnormalities such as scar tissue, polyps, or congenital malformations; ensuring the fallopian tubes are normal and ruling out tubal damage; and performing chromosome analysis on both partners. Testing for antiphospholipid antibodies and lupus anticoagulant is also essential, as these can contribute to placental clotting issues. The conversation highlights the importance of screening for chronic medical issues that might be undiagnosed. About half of patients with recurrent pregnancy loss will have an identifiable and often treatable cause. Finally, the team discusses recommendations for patients whose workup is normal but who continue to experience losses. This podcast was sponsored by Shady Grove Fertility. 

In this top performing episode of 2025, I'm to revisit this conversation with Emily Oster, renowned economist, bestselling author, and professor at Brown University.

Being told you have Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) or premature menopause can feel like the door has closed on your fertility. But these terms don't mean the same thing and understanding the distinction is essential, especially if you're still hoping to conceive.

#253: Farmer, researcher, and author Helen Atthowe has spent 40 years building soil ecosystems that feed themselves while offering their own, living biologic controls In this conversation with Dave Chapman, she explains how living pathways - strips of cover crops and mulches between beds and orchard rows  - can replace tillage, fertilizers, and pesticides. Drawing from her experiences with Masanobu Fukuoka, and her own long-term experiments in Montana and Oregon with her late husband farmer Carl Rosato, Helen shares what it means to farm in partnership with nature rather than against it.https://realorganicproject.org/helen-atthowe-living-pathways-living-mulch-253The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/
