  Fertility and Sterility On Air - Roundtable: Data-driven analysis of fertility optimization 28.06.2026 54мин

  Welcome to Fertility & Sterility Roundtable, hosted by Dr. Emily Barnard and Dr. Ben Peipert! Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility & Sterility.  Today, we will be discussing the Views and Reviews from the June 2026 edition of Fertility and Sterility entitled "Data Driven Analysis of Fertility Optimization"  This Views and Reviews brought together experts, some of whom we will be interviewing today, who evaluated and summarized the evidence on optimization of fertility using diet and lifestyle interventions, surgical restoration of anatomy, menstrual cycle tracking, and comparative data between these methods and in vitro fertilization. The authors discuss what we know and where knowledge gaps exist. I do encourage our listeners to read the full breadth of articles as I know this topic is something almost all my patients ask me about.  Dr. Eve Feinberg is a Professor and REI fellowship program director in the division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Feinberg is both an Editorial Editor at Fertility and Sterility and co-host of our big-sister podcast Fertility and Sterility On Air. Dr. David Boedeker is a first-year Reproductive Endocrinology fellow at the National Institutes of Health and an active duty physician in the United States Air Force. He completed his obstetrics and gynecology residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and earned a master's degree in health policy and administration from Columbia University.

  Fertility and Sterility On Air - Roundtable: Concurrent Surrogacy 31.05.2026 45мин

  Welcome to Fertility & Sterility Roundtable, hosted by Dr. Emily Barnard and Dr. Ben Peipert! Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility & Sterility.  Today, we will be discussing the Fertile Battle episode from the April 2026 edition of Fertility and Sterility entitled "Is Concurrent Gestational Surrogacy an Ethical Practice?" Concurrent surrogacy involves two gestational carriers being engaged simultaneously—or whose pregnancies overlap—to allow a single intended parent or couple to have children born without the usual spacing between births  Dr. Michelle Bayefsky is a second year Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She has written a book and more than 30 peer-reviewed papers on issues related to reproductive ethics and fertility preservation. She is currently a member of the ASRM Ethics Committee. For the purposes of this discussion, Dr. Bayefsky authored the Pro side of the argument that concurrent gestational surrogacy is an ethical practice.  Dr. Caroline Violette is a second year Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Fellow at Brown University. Prior to fellowship, Dr. Violette obtained her medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine and completed her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include oncofertility and addressing healthcare disparities related to access to fertility treatment in the United States. For the purposes of this discussion, Dr. Violette authored the "con" side of the argument that these concurrent surrogacy arrangements are unethical.  Dr. Arthur Caplan is a Professor and founding head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU School of Medicine in New York City. Dr. Caplan has served on a number of national and international committees, including chair of the Advisory Committee to the United Nations on Human Cloning, a member of the advisory committee to the International Olympic Committee on genetics and gene therapy, and co-director of the Joint Council of Europe/United Nations Study on Trafficking in Organs and Body Parts. He is the author or editor of thirty-five books and over 890 papers in peer reviewed journals. Dr. Caplan authored the pro side of the argument.  Read the Fertile Battle from Volume 125, Issue 4 p598-604 in the April 2026 issue View Fertility and Sterility at https://www.fertstert.org/

Her work led to several landmark publications and Prize Paper Awards from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine; she also serves on the editorial board of Fertility and Sterility. Dr. Francesca Duncan is an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. She co-directs Northwestern's Center for Reproductive Science and leads a research program focused on the cellular mechanisms of reproductive aging, studying how aging affects reproductive potential at the level of the egg and ovary. Over her career, she has co-authored numerous, and her research has been widely featured in several major news outlets including National Geographic, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal.  Dr. Allison Eubanks is a REI fellow in the NIH–Walter Reed training program and currently serves as the Fertility and Sterility Editorial Board Fellow.
