She woke up with pain in her side and went to the doctor expecting an explanation.  She walked out having been told she might have late-stage ovarian cancer.  What it turned out to be was a rare disease documented in only 154 people on the planet. The next question Lauren Makler asked her doctor was, "Can I freeze my eggs?" The answer was no. They didn't know what caused her disease, and they weren't willing to flood her abdomen with hormones to find out.So her sister froze eggs for her. By some miracle, Lauren kept her ovaries. And the experience of staring down egg donation as her only path forward, she was horrified by what she found.  Her conviction that there must be a better way to grow her family became the seed for Cofertility.Lauren is the co-founder and CEO of Cofertility, a human-first fertility ecosystem that lets women freeze their eggs for free when they donate half. Today she joins Dr. Susan Fox to talk about why the conventional egg donation model is broken and what egg sharing looks like when done at scale.You'll learn how egg sharing differs from traditional egg donation and why cash compensation, which is tiered by heritage, education, race, and "pedigree" was the first thing that struck Lauren as wrong. We explain that anonymity is unfeasible with companies like Ancestry.com and 23andMe. She explains how a single traditional donor's eggs can end up in 25 families and why Cofertility caps at 3 donor cycles.We talk about secondary infertility.And why women in medicine experience infertility at twice the rate of the general public.Finally, we highlight that egg freezing is not an insurance policy but rather an assurance policy.

She had a baby. Then her cycle disappeared — and nobody told her what that actually meant, or when it might come back, or whether she could get pregnant again before it did. Rose McKenzie has spent over a decade helping women understand their hormones in the moments when they feel most invisible: irregular cycles, postpartum, perimenopause. And she'll tell you plainly — the postpartum body is not a mystery. It's a system coming back online. The problem is nobody's watching the data.Rose is the clinical manager at Mira and a natural family planning practitioner with more than 10 years of experience helping women use hormone tracking not just for fertility, but for whole-body health awareness. Today she joins Dr. Susan Fox for a conversation about what's actually happening to your hormones after birth — and why tracking them postpartum is one of the most informed things a new mother can do, whether she wants to conceive again, avoid conceiving, or simply understand her own body.You'll learn why your hormones don't flip back on like a light switch after birth — and what the slow train analogy actually tells us about your return to cycling, why ovulation can return as early as eight weeks postpartum even while breastfeeding — and why that matters more than whether your period has come back, what the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) actually requires — and why almost everyone gets "kicked out" of it sooner than they expect, why a positive LH surge is not confirmation of ovulation — and what progesterone has to do with it, what "cycle wonky" means and why your first one to four cycles back are not your baseline, what the teeter-totter between prolactin and the body's drive to ovulate looks like on a hormone chart, how intentionally disrupting your nursing pattern — carefully and with support — can help jump-start ovulation for those trying to conceive while still breastfeeding, why tracking postpartum hormones led to two PCOS diagnoses that conventional medicine would have missed entirely, what Mira actually measures and why an LH strip alone doesn't give you the full picture, and why Mira is data — not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan, and not a standalone method for avoiding pregnancy. This episode is for you if you've just had a baby and have no idea when your hormones will return or what "normal" even looks like right now, you're breastfeeding and want to understand whether pregnancy is actually possible for you right now, you want to conceive again and aren't sure if your body is hormonally ready, you've been assuming your period has to come back before ovulation does, you're curious about natural family planning and want to understand how hormone tracking fits into it, or you want to stop floating around postpartum and start actually knowing what your body is doing. Support your fertility journey with Preconception Plan at Health Youniversity.

She went through infertility twice. The first time, she learned the cause was male factor — and nobody talked about what could be done about it. The second time, “unexplained” — which, as Dr. Susan pointed out, is less a non-diagnosis. Both times, Gabie Peytchev found herself piecing together support from different corners, not knowing who to trust, spending money on the wrong things, and making decisions from fear.She built Wova Health to help others avoid the same trials..Gabie is the founder of Wova — the name drawn from the Italian word for egg, uova, reframed to center the woman and the ovum at the heart of the fertility journey. Today she joins Dr. Susan Fox for a conversation about what coordinated, whole-body fertility support looks like — and why the IVF clinic, for all its excellence, was never designed to provide it.You'll learn how Wova Health's multidisciplinary model differs from seeing a nutritionist or a therapist in isolation. You'll understand why the IVF doctor can only work with what you give them — the egg quality, the sperm quality, the uterine environment — and what that means for what whole body fertility care covers.  Beyond nutrition, there's oral health, sleep disorders, EMF exposure, environmental toxins, smart technology, movement, and mental health to consider.  And you'll learn that  unexplained infertility, which affects one in three couples can be helped in the 3 to 4 month window of egg development and the 74 day sperm window, and why ChatGPT can be a starting point, but is not a reliable source of action to take.This episode is for you if you've been told you have been given a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, if you're heading into IVF and haven't yet addressed your whole-body health; if you've been piecing together your support team and they are not talking to each other; if you've been carrying the emotional weight of your fertility journey alone.  And if  you want to know what whole-body fertility coaching looks like.

Three women who've spent years inside the PCOS conversation — one as a clinician, one as a hormone tracking specialist, one as a board-certified OBGYN and culinary medicine physician — and they still said, out loud, that nobody has all the answers. That alone makes this episode worth your time.Today Dr. Susan Fox is joined by Rose McKenzie, clinical manager at Mira, and Dr. Basma Faris, founder of her namesake practice and creator of the Adopt a Mediterranean Diet for PCOS course, for a conversation about what it actually looks like to track, understand, and act on your own hormonal and metabolic data — especially when you have PCOS.Mira is a medical-grade at-home hormone monitor tracking four hormones using fluorescent technology. A CGM — continuous glucose monitor — shows you in real time how your blood sugar responds to food, stress, sleep, and where you are in your cycle. Together, these tools are changing what it means for a woman with PCOS to know her own body.You'll learn why PCOS is a metabolic disorder on a spectrum — and why where you are on that spectrum is not where you have to staywhat a 2023 University of Toronto study revealed about how glucose levels shift between the follicular and luteal phases — and what that means if you have insulin resistancewhy 70% of people with PCOS have insulin resistance — and why the other 30% matters just as muchhow high insulin drives testosterone production, how testosterone impairs insulin sensitivity, and why breaking that cycle requires interrupting it at multiple points simultaneouslywhat Mira hormone data actually looks like in a postpartum breastfeeding woman with PCOS — and why this population is almost always missedwhy elevated fasting glucose and elevated post-meal glucose are two different problems pointing to two different root causeshow long to use a CGM before you've learned what you need to know, and what "glucorexia" is — and why more data isn't always better.This episode is for you if you have PCOS and feel like every protocol you've tried was designed for someone else;, you're postpartum and nobody has looked closely at your hormones; you're tired of being told what to eat without being monitored when you follow the rules; you want to understand the insulin-testosterone feedback loop in plain language; you're a provider curious about integrating hormone and metabolic

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Dr. Katie Worrilow — founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Life Air Systems, postdoctoral-trained reproductive physiologist, and former scientific director of IVF programs for over 20 years — for a conversation that will change how you think about your IVF cycle.Dr. Katie spent twenty years noticing something. That when construction began outside the hospital, when the medevac pad got repaved, when the parking lot was resurfaced — clinical pregnancy rates dropped. Not because of the medicine. Not because of the protocol. Because of the air surrounding the embryo during the most critical six to seven days of its existence outside the body. That realization became Life Air Systems — a patented air purification technology now installed in 41% of US IVF programs, awarded 23 patents, over 60 registered trademarks globally, and the 2025 Edison Award for innovation in healthcare.The data from clinical studies across several thousand patients showed a nearly 20 percentage point increase in clinical outcomes with complete air quality control. Across the full installation base worldwide, the average increase in clinical pregnancy rates is 14.9 percentage points — with corresponding improvements in implantation rates and blast conversion rates.You'll learn why the air surrounding a human embryo during culture matters.  Why the environment, and chemical pathogens like toluene from warm asphalt do to embryo development — and why you won't see the damage at day 3, only at day 5.   Blastocyst conversion rates and implantation rates are the metrics that tell the real story —   air quality has to do with both. And you'll learn what questions to ask your IVF clinic before your next retrieval or transfer about air quality at the transfer stage, why the same variable that improves outcomes also reduces the likelihood of needing multiple retrieval cycles — and what that means financially and emotionally. And you'll understand why Dr. Susan is calling out fertility insurance providers and employee benefits managers in this episode directly.This episode is for you if you're preparing for an IVF cycle and want to do everything possible to optimize your outcome, you've had a beautiful day 3 embryo report followed by a devastating day 5, you've been through one or more failed cycles and are trying to figure out what to do differently before the next one, you want

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Zsofia Jamieson and Marta Han — co-founders of The Fertility Class and certified teachers of the Aviva Method — for a conversation about something most fertility conversations completely skip: movement.Zsofia was diagnosed with severe PCOS as a teenager and told she might never conceive. She healed naturally through movement and nutrition, eventually bringing the Aviva Method from Hungary to the UK and the US. Marta navigated hypothalamic amenorrhea and years of infertility tied to over-exercising and undernourishment, yet restored her cycle through holistic practice. A decade after meeting in a London playground, they built The Fertility Class — a cycle-synced, pelvic-centered movement platform now reaching women worldwide.This episode is about what rhythmic pelvic movement actually does to the reproductive system — and why it's one of the most underused tools in the fertility conversation. Blood flow. Hormonal axis regulation. Reflexology point stimulation. Nervous system support. Emotional release. All from 30 minutes of movement, three times a week.You'll learn what the Aviva Method is — a therapeutic movement practice developed by a Hungarian physiotherapist and ballet dancer in the 1960s with over 25 years of research behind it, why pelvic-centered movement is categorically different from yoga, kegels, or cycle-synced exercise — and what it actually does to the follicular environment, how rhythmic contraction and release of the lower belly muscles increases blood flow to the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, why the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis responds to specific movement and reflexology point stimulation, why sitting 8 to 10 hours a day is quietly affecting your fertility markers.  And why the fertility class also has a men's program — (because male factor accounting for 40% of infertility).  This episode is for you if you've been doing "all the right things" fertility-wise but haven't addressed how you're moving — or not moving, if you have PCOS, irregular cycles, painful periods, or hypothalamic amenorrhea and want to understand what movement can do, if you're heading into IVF and want to improve your markers and your outcomes before your first appointment, and if you're  ready to start relating to your body as something worth moving for.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Ashley Statchon — yoga teacher, fertility and prenatal specialist, oncology yoga instructor, and director of Metta Mama — for a conversation that starts with the nervous system and ends somewhere most fertility conversations never go.Ashley came to yoga as a competitive gymnast looking for a physical challenge. What she found was something that would reshape how she understood the body entirely — and years later, when a breast cancer diagnosis at 43 put everything to the test, it was breath, movement, and the practices she'd been teaching that carried her through. Today, she brings that lived experience into fertility yoga, prenatal care, postnatal support, and oncology.This episode is about what yoga actually does to and for the body as a nervous system intervention. Why cortisol timing matters. Why 70% of the information flowing through your central nervous system travels from body to brain, not the other way around. And why trying to think your way out of a stress cycle is, biologically speaking,  unlikely to work.You'll learn what fertility yoga is and why it's relevant - whether you're just beginning to think about conceiving or deep in an IVF cycle.  You'll also understand healthy cortisol rhythms — and how most of us derail those rhythms  before breakfast.  You'll learn that the psoas, hamstrings, and pelvic floor hold the stress cycle in the body long after the moment has passed, what legs up the wall actually does physiologically.  Ashley shares how breath, meditation, and visualization stabilized her liver enzymes during chemotherapy — and what that taught her about the body's capacity to respond,.  We discuss that research shows infertility carries the same measurable stress load as a life-threatening diagnosis — and what ahimsa — nonviolence — looks like when you turn it toward yourself.This episode is for you if you've been wondering if yoga improve fertility beyond flexibility and relaxation, if you're navigating IVF or IUI and want to know what you can do in your own body to support the process, if you feel chronically wired but exhausted or if, you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis alongside a fertility journey.  If you're in the Bay Area, attend Ashley's in-person eight-week fertility yoga series at Metta Mama.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Dr. Kelly McCann — board-certified physician in internal medicine and pediatrics, trained in functional, integrative, and environmental medicine — for a conversation that begins in the body and ends somewhere much deeper.Dr. Kelly is known for her expertise in mold illness, chronic infections, mast cell activation syndrome, and complex chronic conditions. She integrates science, intuition, and spiritual psychology to help people heal at levels most medicine never reaches. She's hosted three worldwide summits reaching over 100,000 people, and her forthcoming book reframes illness not as the enemy — but as a portal. Today, she brings all of it.This episode opens with something practical — the toxic bucket. What's coming in, what's getting cleared, and where most people are losing the battle without knowing it. Plastics. Bisphenols. Mycotoxins. Polyester clothing in the dryer. Endocrine disruptors hiding in places nobody thinks to look. Dr. Kelly maps the terrain clearly, and then Dr. Susan steers the conversation somewhere rarer: what fertility struggles do to the spirit. And what the spirit might actually be trying to say back.You'll learn what the toxic bucket actually is — and why some people can handle far more than others before the system breaks down, how endocrine disruptors work at the receptor level and why fake estrogen might be the reason your hormones look off on paper, why a young man's testosterone in the 200s isn't just a hormone problem — and what mold and lead had to do with one patient's case, what Dr. Kelly means when she says the body is the voice of the spirit — and why that changes everything about how we relate to illness, what The Unforgetting Project is: a nine-week group program built around helping people recover who they actually are beneath the conditioning, why Western medicine keeps people circling the drain — body to the physician, mind to the therapist, spirit to the yoga teacher — and why nobody's talking to each other, and three practices you can start today to begin rebuilding your relationship with your own body.This episode is for you if you've done everything right and still can't understand why your body isn't cooperating, you're somewhere in the fertility journey and feel like the emotional and spiritual weight of it is going unaddressed, you've been told your labs are fine but something still feels de

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Erica Paulson — doula, certified clinical hypnotherapist, prenatal bonding specialist, and founder of Nurture — for a conversation that goes far beyond what most people think birth support looks like.Erica is a hypno-birthing educator, a childbirth advocate, and — perhaps less expectedly — an award-winning poet. Today, she blends the science and the soul of birth as one experience. This episode is about what happens when birth is treated as a nervous system experience, not just a medical one. What changes when a woman walks into labor prepared — clinically, emotionally, and somatically.Your nervous system doesn't distinguish between a physical threat and an emotional one — and that impacts how labor unfolds.  Erica calls hypnobirthing a  toolkit you'll use for the rest of your life.  She shares why prenatal bonding matters as much as anything on your birth prep list.  She teaches how to practice advocacy in the birthing room, and why your nurses are already hoping you'll ask more questions.  She explains that doulas also support partners and what that looks like in the room.  And she poetically shares that mother and baby bonding begins long before first latch..This episode is for you if you're pregnant and want to feel genuinely prepared, if you've had a birth experience that left you feeling unmet, if  you're supporting someone who's pregnant and want to understand how to show up for her, if you experienced infertility before conceiving and find it hard to fully settle into pregnancy..

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Dr. Angela Potter — integrative fertility doctor, nutritionist, and PCOS specialist — for a conversation that challenges much of what conventional medicine overlooks about this condition.Dr. Angela addresses root causes behind why women with PCOS aren't getting pregnant. She's spoken alongside thought leaders from Google, Microsoft, and Headspace, and has been featured on ABC, CBS, and NBC — and today, she brings all of that expertise here.Together, Dr. Susan and Dr. Angela unpack what PCOS actually is — a metabolic syndrome — and why Letrozole protocols for fertility are insufficient.PCOS is a whole-body metabolic condition — not just a fertility diagnosis.  And why gut health may be one of the most overlooked drivers of PCOS-related infertility,  how environmental toxins, processed food, poor sleep, and chronic stress are fueling the rise of PCOS — and why the conventional model misses an opportunity to help a woman repair her metabolic health for life.This episode is for you if you've been diagnosed with PCOS, done multiple rounds of letrozole or Clomid without success, or if you're (or someone you know) is heading into IVF and want to know what you can do right now to improve your outcomes.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox steps in solo to share something close to her heart — the charitable organization behind the work, and why it exists.As part of the international Podcastathon (March 14–20), podcasters worldwide are spotlighting the causes they champion. For Health Youniversity, that means shining a light on the Health Youniversity Group — a 509(a)(2) public charity dedicated to making the Preconception Plan Course accessible to the people who need it but may have financial constraints.Dr. Susan walks through what the course actually is: a 120-day, phase-by-phase program built around the menstrual cycle, covering nutrition and hydration, circulation through Qigong, a targeted stimulation technique called TEAS that has been shown to improve live birth rates by 42% in women over 35, sleep and lifestyle support, stress resilience through guided imagery with binaural beats, and one-on-one coaching with Dr. Susan herself.She also speaks to something important: the false divide that's grown between integrative reproductive medicine and conventional IVF — and why the most powerful approach isn't either/or. It's both.You'll learn why the Preconception Plan Course is built around 120 days — and what folliculogenesis actually means for your fertility outcomes, what TEAS is and why meta-analyses on over 2,000 women show a 42% improvement in live birth rates for women over 35 doing frozen embryo transfer, how this program works alongside any fertility cycle — not instead of it, what the Health Youniversity Group charity is and how to donate or apply for a scholarship, and why Dr. Susan is calling for an end to the competition between integrative medicine and IVF.This episode is for you if you're navigating fertility challenges and want to understand what a whole-health preconception approach looks like in practice, you've been told IVF is your only option and want to know what you can do alongside it, you're looking for a program you can follow at home on your own schedule without adding more appointments, you want to help fund access to fertility support for someone who can't afford it, or someone you love is on this journey and you're looking for a way to support them.Donate here: https://healthyouniversity.co/donate

When a reproductive endocrinologist shrugs and says "unexplained infertility," it doesn't mean there's no answer - they're just looking in the wrong places. In this episode I'm talking with Dr. Susan Fox, a Traditional Chinese Medicine expert with 23 years of fertility experience, about how ancient medicine patterns can solve fertility challenges that conventional medicine can't explain. Susan's own unexplained autoimmune condition led her to discover TCM, and now she's revolutionized fertility care with an integrated approach that combines the best of Eastern and Western medicine. Her results? A 42% increase in live birth rates with her online program. We dive into the real causes behind fertility struggles - from environmental toxins like microplastics showing up in places they shouldn't be, to autoimmune factors that conventional testing completely misses. Plus, Susan shares practical strategies you can start today to support your fertility naturally. This is essential listening whether you're trying to conceive, supporting someone who is, or want to understand how modern life is affecting our reproductive health.

In this solo episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox addresses a critical topic affecting fertility care today: the current administration's shift from promised universal IVF support to exclusively supporting restorative reproductive medicine.Discover why this isn't an either-or situation, but a both-and approach that has successfully served patients for over 20 years. Learn how integrative care combining conventional IVF with whole-health optimization can improve live birth rates by 42% for women over 35.Dr. Fox explains the science behind preconception health optimization, from reducing microplastics in follicular fluid to improving egg and sperm quality through evidence-based protocols like transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS).This episode advocates for comprehensive reproductive freedom and choice for all individuals and couples—including same-sex partners, single parents by choice, and those facing urgent medical diagnoses requiring fertility preservation.

Dr. Fox shares her insights on how integrating acupuncture, dietary adjustments, and personalized wellness plans can significantly enhance fertility outcomes.Whether you're struggling to conceive or seeking to optimize your reproductive health, this episode offers valuable information and practical advice to support your journey.

I recently joined Dr. Susan Fox on her podcast to challenge damaging fertility myths and share insights from my 15+ years as a Naturopathic Endocrinologist. We discussed everything from the false "fertility cliff" at 35 to the overlooked male factors in conception and pregnancy loss. As the creator of the Restorative Fertility Method and host of the Egg Meets Sperm Podcast, I was thrilled to share evidence-based perspectives that empower couples on their fertility journey.Key Topics We ExploredThe Fertility Age MythI debunked the pervasive myth that fertility dramatically declines after 35—a belief with surprisingly non-scientific origins. The truth is that fertility decline is gradual, not a cliff, and biological age (influenced by lifestyle factors) matters far more than chronological age. This shift in perspective is crucial for women who feel pressured by their "biological clock."Male Fertility's Critical RoleOne of my passions is highlighting how male factors contribute to approximately 50% of infertility cases and are significantly linked to recurrent pregnancy loss. I challenged the patriarchal notion that male fertility remains robust indefinitely and discussed specific markers that are rarely tested but critically important:Sperm DNA fragmentationHomocysteine levelsHemoglobin A1CThese factors can dramatically affect pregnancy viability even when standard semen analyses appear normal.Root Causes of Fertility ChallengesWe explored the multifaceted root causes of fertility issues, including:Gut health and microbiome balanceHormone regulationLiver functionConditions like PCOS and endometriosisI emphasized that addressing these foundational health factors can significantly improve natural conception rates and IVF success.Practical Tips for Male PartnersI shared actionable advice for men to optimize their fertility:Avoid fragrances and products containing phthalatesConsume diverse vegetables for micronutrientsMinimize EMF exposure (keep phones/laptops away from the groin)Prioritize sleep and maintain healthy circadian rhythmsFertility as VitalityThroughout our conversation, I emphasized my core philosophy: fertility health is a reflection of overall vitality. The same factors that optimize reproductive function also enhance longevity, energy, and wellness throughout life.About the HostDr. Susan Fox has been helping women and couples overcome infertility and enjoy healthy pregnancies for more than 23 years.

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.

On today's episode of the Badass Fertility Podcast we sit down with Dr Susan Fox. As a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine and 5 Element Acupuncture for the last 23 years, Dr. Fox specializes in women's health and fertility. We dive deep into the mind body connection exploring how everything from our personalities to our periods can be explained, understood and optimized using this 5,000+ year old system Dr. Susan shares her decades of experience in this field. Among the top insights we cover are: Demand your right to grieve. Grief is the flip side of love. When something you love is missing or threatened grief is natural. Honor your grief. Why infertility is an overused and inaccurate term.  Why clinical sub-fertility is a more accurate and helpful term to describe most women's struggle to get or stay pregnant The Western medical model is great for many things, but it divides the human body into inaccurately discreet parts without accounting for the whole. Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at body-mind and spirit to paint a richer picture of the patient and diagnose treatment on all levels.

Kathryn has had her own experience with IVF and she sheds light on the fact that even if you do the right things for your body during your IVF journey, you may still need some help for your mind and the emotions that you go through while trying to conceive. Kathryn's JourneyKathryn got married at 36 and she felt like she was already “behind” and had a deeply ingrained fear of the clock ticking. Looking back now, she realized that 36 is still a young age to try to start a family as she found so many ways to try to get pregnant with her husband. However, although there are physical conditions and battles women have to face during their late 30s while they try to conceive, the unspoken battle with your mind and emotions is another thing you need to take into consideration.
