  Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for Fertility hosted by Dr. Lorne Brown of The Conscious Fertility Podcast 02.10.2026 30dk

  I'm thrilled to have joined Dr. Lorne Brown on the Conscious Fertility Podcast to dive deep into the world of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and its potential for women on their fertility journey. As the Egg Whisperer, I shared my passion for patient-centered reproductive care, my TUSHY method for fertility diagnostics, and the importance of leaving no stone unturned when supporting those who want to grow their families. Lorne and I discussed the latest in integrative and holistic approaches, and I had the chance to explain how PRP is being used in my practice to help women who want to try every possible avenue before considering donor eggs. In our conversation, we explored the evolving landscape of fertility treatments, the science and stories behind PRP, and the importance of individualized care. We talked about the challenges of evidence-based medicine in emerging therapies, the nuances of testing and tracking results, and how integrative approaches (combining Western medicine, functional testing, acupuncture, laser therapy, and more) can make a difference. I also shared my experiences, data, and the real-life outcomes I've seen with PRP, as well as my commitment to educating and empowering patients. In this episode, we cover: What PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is and how it's being used for ovarian rejuvenation The TUSHY method for comprehensive fertility diagnostics The importance of individualized, integrative, and holistic fertility care How PRP is performed, who may benefit, and what results I've seen in my practice The current state of research and data on PRP for fertility How to set realistic expectations for PRP and other emerging treatments The role of additional therapies like low-level laser therapy, acupuncture, and functional medicine in fertility journeys Resources: Conscious Fertility Podcast Conscious Fertility on YouTube Egg Whisperer School – IVF, egg freezing, and TUSHY method classes Path Fertility (DNA fragmentation testing) Give Legacy (at-home sperm testing)   You can find The Conscious Fertility Podcastm hosted by Lorne Brown here.

  The 2WW: When Does Implantation Occur? 25.09.2026 8dk

  Discover all the answers to some of the most common questions you may have about your menstrual cycle, hormones in your menstrual cycle, ovulation, implantation, and the 2ww (two week wait).  If you are trying to get pregnant, you may have heard the term—two week wait, the often nervous time of waiting between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test. For many, this is a dreaded time because it's hard to know exactly what is happening. But by learning more about your cycle, you can have more knowledge about what might happen.  The implantation window is during the two week wait. Since progesterone is the hormone responsible for supporting implantation, it must be present during the entire implantation window. You can track your progesterone during this window by tracking PdG, progesterone in urine.  Proov has unique testing capabilities to test PdG during the implantation window to confirm successful ovulation.  Studies show PdG levels are incredibly important for implantation and pregnancy success, for example, women with high PdG during the implantation window were 75% more likely to get pregnant. In contrast, women with low PdG had a miscarriage rate of 90%.  Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

  Trying to Conceive? What Parents-to-Be Need to Know About Parkinson's and Environmental Toxins with Dr. Ray Dorsey of The Parkinson's Plan 24.09.2026 39dk

  In this episode, I'm honored to welcome Dr. Ray Dorsey, a renowned neurologist, researcher, and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Parkinson's Plan. Together, we dive into the critical topic of Parkinson's Disease, now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world, and explore how environmental toxins (rather than aging or genetics), are fueling its rise. Dr. Dorsey shares his expertise on how exposures, even as early as in utero, can increase the risk of Parkinson's and other serious conditions, and offers practical steps families can take to protect themselves and future generations. Throughout our conversation, we discuss the broader themes of environmental health, fertility, and advocacy. We explore the science behind how early-life exposures can plant the seeds for neurodegenerative diseases, the importance of shifting our understanding from genetics to environment, and the actionable ways we can reduce risk. Dr. Dorsey also introduces the "Parkinson's 25" - a set of practical recommendations for families, and shares inspiring stories of advocacy and change. In this episode, we cover: 💙Why Parkinson's Disease is rising and the role of environmental toxins 💙The impact of early-life and in utero exposures on long-term neurological health 💙The difference between genetic and environmental risk factors for Parkinson's 💙How pesticides, air pollution, and chemicals like trichloroethylene affect fertility and brain health 💙The "Parkinson's 25" steps for reducing risk and protecting your family 💙Advocacy success stories, including the Healthy Schools Act and organic golf courses 💙Practical tips for improving indoor air quality and minimizing everyday exposures Resources: The Parkinson's Plan book: https://amzn.to/46V7BZu The Parkinson's Plan website: pdplan.org Contact Dr. Dorsey: [email protected] Healthy Schools Act (California): https://www.cdpr.ca.gov/cac-letter/written-policy-clarifying-state-and-county-roles-in-enforcing-provisions-of-the-healthy-schools-act-assembly-bill-2260/ Countdown by Shanna Swan (on fertility and environmental toxins):  https://amzn.to/4nSniGR National Plan to End Parkinson's Act: https://www.ninds.nih.gov/current-research/trans-agency-activities/national-plan-end-parkinsons Do you have questions about IVF?

I invited Dr. Nirvika Singh Sharma, associate lab director at Ovation Fertility San Antonio, to share what her new research found about embryo glue.  Dr. Sharma is a physician, reproductive scientist, and embryologist who recently led a major study presented at ESHRE examining whether EmbryoGlue, a high-concentration hyaluronan transfer medium, actually improves outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles. We dig into what embryo glue really is, what her research found across 593 euploid FET cycles, and what patients should know before paying extra for this popular IVF add-on. Read the full show notes. In this episode, we cover: What EmbryoGlue actually is How hyaluronan works in the reproductive tract and whether more of it helps implantation Dr. Sharma's study design: 593 single euploid frozen embryo transfers across four medium combinations The results: pregnancy rates were 63–67% regardless of whether EmbryoGlue or standard media was used The difference between proven effective and possible benefit in IVF add-ons What actually drives implantation: embryo quality, ploidy, and the embryo-endometrium conversation Resources: Ovation Fertility San Antonio: ovationfertility.com Connect with Dr. Nirvika Singh Sharma on LinkedIn Dr. Sharma's research presented at ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) Do you have questions about IVF?

  Becoming A Changemaker on Your Fertility Journey with guest Alex Budak 22.09.2026 32dk

  Read the full show notes at Dr. Aimee's website. Alex Budak is an author and faculty member at Berkeley Haas School of Business. He recently wrote a book called "Becoming a Changemaker." If there is anything I know about fertility patients it's that you all know a lot about being on a journey that often involves embracing change. You become more resilient, and you follow a "growth" mindset. You cling to hope and you let it lead the way forward. It's no surprise that I would have a social entrepreneur and changemaker on the show.  You have a lot in common with what Alex teaches and writes about: "Developing a changemaker mindset often requires holding two seemingly contradictory traits simultaneously: Having a strong personal vision yet being open to collaborating with others. Employing drive and determination to push through barrier after barrier yet knowing when to step back and recharge."  Today we're talking about how to become a Changemaker on your fertility journey. Here are three traits he believes a changemaker has: 1. There's always another way 2. Existing at the edges 3.

  Everything You Need to Know Before Picking an Egg Donor 11.09.2026 27dk

  Whether you're an egg donor now, if you're considering it, or you know someone that is — I'm glad you're here. Young women are donating eggs at the time they are most fertile, often times not realizing the implications of what that means. I've had patients come to me in their 40s without enough healthy eggs of their own to conceive. When they share with me that they themselves donated their young and healthy eggs in their 20s or 30s, but that none are available for them, I feel frustrated and sad for them. Frustrated enough that I'm doing something about it. Freeze & Share is a program that helps young egg donors save some eggs for themselves should they need them, while helping another family conceive when they can't on their own. Suffice to say, I don't want anyone to look back at their egg donation and wish they'd known more. Here is your chance — I want to give you all the information I have so that you're equipped with the knowledge to make the best decision for your personal situation.

Here are some of the key questions and topics we cover in this conversation: What it means to self-identify as an "endometriosis expert" and why early, accurate testing is so important How the microbiome of the reproductive tract may influence both endometriosis and infertility Why common biomarkers like CA-125 have limited usefulness, and what new research on VEGF and inflammatory markers may reveal Whether genetic testing could one day help identify susceptibility to endometriosis How complementary strategies like pelvic floor physiotherapy, dietary changes, acupuncture, cannabis, and psychotherapy can support fertility patients living with endometriosis Why advocacy (both self-advocacy in the clinic and public advocacy through research and awareness) is key to advancing care for all patients Resources: Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

  Navigating IVF with The Fertility Docs: Tips, Transparency, and The IVF Blueprint 08.09.2026 27dk

  In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I have the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Abby Eblen, Dr. Carrie Bedient, and Dr. Susan Hudson: board-certified reproductive endocrinologists, co-hosts of the "Fertility Docs Uncensored" podcast, and authors of the new book, "The IVF Blueprint." As clinicians and, in some cases, IVF patients themselves, they bring a wealth of experience and empathy to our conversation about the emotional and practical aspects of fertility treatment. Together, we dive into the motivations behind writing "The IVF Blueprint," the importance of patient education, and the ever-evolving landscape of IVF care. We discuss our shared mission to demystify the IVF process, provide evidence-based guidance, and empower patients to advocate for themselves. We also explore the emotional journey of infertility, the significance of transparency in the lab, and what the future holds for fertility care. In this episode, we cover: The inspiration and collaborative process behind "The IVF Blueprint" Common sources of overwhelm for IVF patients and strategies to manage them The importance of patient education and anticipatory guidance throughout the IVF journey Evidence-based recommendations for supplements and lifestyle during fertility treatment What really happens in the IVF lab and why transparency matters Trends in IVF access, family planning, and genetic testing How patients can advocate for themselves and find support during fertility care Resources: Fertility Docs Uncensored Podcast & Book Dr. Carrie Bedient at Fertility Center of Las Vegas Dr. Susan Hudson at Texas Fertility Center Dr. Abby Eblen at Nashville Fertility Do you have questions about IVF?

  Revolutionizing Donor Conception: Danielle Winston on Known Sperm Donors and The Seed Scout (Fertility Expert Series) 07.09.2026 9dk

  I'm talking all about the benefits of known sperm donation with Danielle Winston of The Seed Scout @theseedscout on today's brand new episode of The Egg Whisperer Show.⁠ ⁠ When Danielle and her partner, practicing pediatrician Dr. Paige Kennedy-Winston, were looking to build their own family, they quickly realized the space of sperm banking was riddled with roadblocks for most families.⁠ ⁠ The process was highly impersonal, the anonymity and lack of diversity adding to the problem, and options seemed extremely limited. That's when Danielle and Dr. Kennedy-Winston took matters into their own hands and found their own donor. ⁠ ⁠ They got the idea for their sperm donor matchmaking concierge service, The Seed Scout, from their own first-hand experience. With Danielle's business and law background and Dr. Kennedy-Winston's pediatric experience, they made The Seed Scout a reality by taking a human-centered, ethical approach to known sperm donation that's founded on the belief that it's a basic human right to know the identity of one's donor and genetic origins.⁠ ⁠ In this conversation, Danielle and I talked all about:⁠ ⁠ 💙How The Seed Scout is different from traditional sperm banks⁠ 💙The extensive screening process used to make sure donors are aligned with their clients⁠ 💙Why it was so important to learn about and build from the perspective of donor-conceived individuals⁠ 💙How The Seed Scout guides families through the legal and logistical aspects of donor conception to ensure a smooth, ethical process⁠ 💙How they balance the seriousness of family planning with creating a fun and fulfilling experience for their clients⁠ ⁠ If you're curious about sperm donation and want to understand the process, your most ethical options, and how you can actually make this fun, you're not going to want to miss this episode!⁠ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.
