Health Youniversity with Dr. Susan Fox : Recent Episodes

It’s common to think about hormone tracking as conception tools, but your hormones don't clock out once you’ve had a baby or are entering perimenopause.

Rose MacKenzie, Clinical Manager at MiraCare, returns to Health Youniversity to talk about the benefits of tracking hormones during perimenopause.

She explains why one hormone test can miss important patterns and why the standard ”day 21” blood draw can be on the wrong day. She also explains why a high FSH result matters for a lot more than just fertility.

This episode is for you if:

• you're in your mid 30s to mid 40s and want to know the state of your hormones
• you've been told your FSH or AMH numbers "aren't great"
• you've had a blood test come back confusing
• you're curious how tracking hormone over a cycle provides better data
• you think perimenopause deserves your and your medical team’s attention
• you're supporting a patient, partner, or friend through this stage

While the definition is broader, the term “family planning” has long meant contraception.

Dr. Leonard Lopoo wrote Wanting Children, a deep dive into 50 years of U.S. family policy and why it was never built with fertility in mind. He joins Dr. Susan Fox to talk about what pronatalism actually means, and why the goal was never just more births.

Dr. Lopoo explains the difference between wanting a policy that increases births and wanting a policy that supports the families already trying to have them. He also busts the myth that IVF is simply too expensive to cover nationally, and talks about the five year rule that quietly runs out the clock on women trying to qualify for help.

This episode is for you if:

• you've ever paid taxes without realizing it shapes your fertility choices
• you're curious what "pronatalism" actually means and why it's suddenly everywhere
• you've hit a wall with insurance that won't cover ovulation meds, let alone IVF
• you're a policymaker, physician, or med student who wants the 30,000-foot view
• you're weighing genetic testing and want the ethics laid out plainly
• you want to understand why this is so much harder in America than it needs to be

A new Lancet study on IVF add-ons made headlines, and acupuncture was one of the treatments under review. Dr. Lee Hullender Rubin joins Dr. Susan Fox to discuss what the study actually found, what it got right, and what it missed. Dr. Lee explains that

• studies using one or two sessions on transfer day was an insufficient dose.
• research was done on fresh embryo transfers, but almost nobody does fresh anymore.
• “sham acupuncture” isn't placebo..

This episode is for you if:

• you saw the headlines and want the full picture
• you’re planning IVF and considering acupuncture
• you’re thinking acupuncture on embryo transfer day will help
• you want to understand what "sham" acupuncture is and why it matters

Ever wonder why one glass of wine leaves you fine and the next one wrecks you? Paul Lagerstedt invented ALKAA® , a patented sachet you drop right in your glass to pull out the compounds in alcohol that makes you feel bad. He joins Dr. Susan Fox to talk about what's behind that post-drink crash, and how it affects you if you're trying to conceive, going through IVF, or dealing with perimenopause.

Paul explains the difference between absorbing and adsorbing. He also busts the myth that vodka and tequila are the "clean" drinks, and talks about the alcohol tax most of us pay with that morning-after “blah” feeling.

If you could treat the glass to remove toxic compounds, would you?

This episode is for you if:

• you've noticed alcohol hits you harder than it used to
• you're trying to conceive but want to enjoy your social life at certain times in your cycle
• you're in perimenopause and drinks just don't sit right anymore
• you want one simple thing to try tonight

Every single cell in our body needs glutathione. Most of us are low without knowing it.

Dr. Gina Nick is a naturopathic physician, researcher, and the world's leading expert on glutathione, which she has penned “Vitamin G”. She joins Dr. Susan Fox to talk about why this master antioxidant keeps showing up at the center of unexplained infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and autoimmune dysfunction that standard labs keep missing.

She explains that glutathione lives inside the mitochondria of every cell, what happens when environmental toxins and aging deplete it, and why the form you take matters as much as the amount. More is not always better with this one.

They also get into perimenopause, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, what Tylenol does to your glutathione levels, and why this conversation matters for male factor fertility too.

This episode is for you if

• you've been told your infertility is unexplained and something still doesn't feel resolved
• you've had recurrent losses or failed transfers and want to know what else to look at
• you have a known or suspected autoimmune condition
• you're preparing for an IVF cycle and want to know what you can do before, during, and after
• you're in your late thirties or early forties and starting to notice perimenopause symptoms you want one simple, practical thing you can start today.

For years, women with endometriosis were told their pain was normal. By the time they try to conceive, the disease can have progressed to be a real problem.

Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Dr. Farideh Bischoff, Chief Medical Officer, and Penny Wan, co-founder and chairwoman of HerAnova, to talk about their new innovative blood test that can detect endometriosis without surgery.

You'll learn why 40% of infertility cases are linked to endometriosis.

Retrograde menstruation happens in every woman, so why do only some develop endo? Dr. Bischoff gets into what we still don't understand about this disease.

A big takeaway is to realize that pain is not normal. We talk about what happens when it gets dismissed and what that costs women later on.

We also get into what the HerResolve test looks for in your blood and why a 97% accuracy rate is a big deal.

And why catching this early, even in your teens, can change everything about a woman's reproductive future.

This episode is for you if:

• you've had painful periods and been told it’s normal
• you've had failed IVF transfers with no clear explanation why
• you've been bounced between specialists and still don't have a diagnosis
• you're heading into a frozen embryo transfer and wondering if your body is ready
• you're a provider who wants to offer your patients something more
• you know someone who is suffering

She spent six years trying to become a mother. Male factor infertility caught too late, a stillbirth, egg freezing, a divorce and then gestational surrogacy in the middle of COVID with a therapist who was not trained in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).

What Leslie Lopez found on the other side was her daughter - and her calling.

Leslie is an independent mother and host of the Mothers in Arms podcast, whose mission is to address the emotional side of the reproductive journey. Today she joins Dr. Susan Fox to talk about what the fertility world gets right and what it gets wrong.

Learn why male factor infertility is still being caught too late (at home tests can fall short) and what "test, don't guess" really means when morphology and DNA fragmentation are the issue.

The words “childless” and “child-free” are not the same. Hear from Leslie why that difference matters.

Understand the importance of having a therapist trained in ART.

Discover the importance of sharing with your donor-conceived children the right information at the right time.

This episode is for you if:

• you're navigating infertility and feeling alone
• you're considering surrogacy or donor conception and don't know where to start
• you've been through ART and felt like the emotional side was an afterthought
• you're an “independent” parent or thinking about becoming one
• you're wondering when and how much to tell your donor-conceived child their story
• you're in the fourth trimester and seeking mental health support

Jodi Scott was pregnant when she opened her first aid cabinet and started reading the ingredient labels. What she found surprised her. The products people trusted for cuts, burns, and skin irritation contained ingredients she no longer felt comfortable putting on herself or her family.

So she built Green Goo to prove that plant based first aid works.

Jodi is the founder of Green Goo, a plant based first aid and herbal wellness company built from family remedies, herbal medicine, and a belief that what we put on our bodies matters as much as what we put in our bodies..

Today she joins Dr. Susan Fox for a conversation about skin, hormones, inflammation, and why the products sitting in your bathroom may be affecting your whole health and fertility.

You'll learn:

• Ingredients like parabens, phthalates, petroleum, and synthetic fragrances are still found in many skincare and first aid products.
• These chemicals are now being found in follicular fluid, amniotic fluid, and placental tissue.
• How the skin and nervous system are connected.
• Why chronic inflammation and high cortisol can affect fertility.
• Three to four months before conception to reduce toxic exposures to eggs, embryos and fetus.
• How your skin sends signals that prioritizes survival or reproduction

If you've cleaned up your diet and supplements but never thought much about your lotion, this episode will make you look at your medicine cabinet a little differently.

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.

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 stay
• what 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 resistance
• why 70% of people with PCOS have insulin resistance — and why the other 30% matters just as much
• how high insulin drives testosterone production, how testosterone impairs insulin sensitivity, and why breaking that cycle requires interrupting it at multiple points simultaneously
• what Mira hormone data actually looks like in a postpartum breastfeeding woman with PCOS — and why this population is almost always missed
• why elevated fasting glucose and elevated post-meal glucose are two different problems pointing to two different root causes
• how 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 tracking into your PCOS care; or you've been handed a diagnosis and told to manage it — when what you actually want is to reverse it.

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 to know the right questions to ask your clinic — not just about protocol, but about environment, you're in the fertility benefits or insurance space and want to understand a variable that directly affects the claims you're paying, or you simply didn't know this was a thing — and now you can't unknow it.

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 deeply off, you're curious about what it actually means to let the body lead instead of the mind, you want to understand what endocrine disruptors are doing at a cellular level — and what you can realistically do about it, or you've quietly wondered whether illness might be trying to tell you something, and you're finally ready to listen.

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.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we explore something that doesn't get nearly enough attention on the fertility journey: the kind of support that holds you together while medicine does its work.

Dr. Susan sits down with Jess Tims — certified fertility doula, Reiki master, and founder of Her Fertility Support — whose path to this work came through her own two-year experience with unexplained infertility. What she couldn't find then, she's now dedicated to creating for others.

You'll learn what a fertility doula actually is (and how it's different from a fertility coach or therapist), why the research Jess presented at the American Society of Reproductive Medicine confirms that feeling supported genuinely improves outcomes, how to find a certified doula in an unregulated field, what the internal dialogue of "I'm broken" does to the body (and how to interrupt it), and how support comes in many forms: 1:1, group, or fully self-guided.

This conversation is for you if you're navigating IVF or preparing for it, if you've experienced pregnancy loss and need a safe place to process it, you're a high-performing woman who needs to show up in the world and go through fertility treatments, or if you simply want to understand the difference between fertility coaches, doulas, and therapists.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we talk about something so fundamental we rarely stop to question it — the water we drink every single day, and what it might actually contain.

Dr. Susan sits down with Cydian Kauffman — owner of Pure Water Northwest and a water quality specialist on a mission to cut through the hype and give people real, science-backed answers. From forever chemicals to microplastics to reverse osmosis, Cydian demystifies what's actually in our water, what it means for our fertility and hormonal health, and what we can do about it without spending a fortune.

You'll learn why municipal tap water is treated to a cost standard — not a health standard, what PFAS (forever chemicals) are and why they matter at levels as small as a single drop in a lake, how bottled water in plastic may actually be worse than your tap, why reverse osmosis is the closest thing to a magic bullet — and how to get one for as little as $200, what structured water and hydrogen water actually are (and which one is a fad), how to look up your own tap water report right now, and why if you're on well water, you need a full-spectrum test — not just the standard one.

This conversation is for you if you've been drinking bottled water thinking it's the healthier choice, you're navigating fertility or pregnancy and want to understand your environmental exposures, you've heard about PFAS or microplastics and want to know what's actually true, you're on well water and haven't tested it in years (or ever), or you're ready to do something about your water but don't know where to start.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we explore something that more people need to know exists — a nurse who shows up for you in the gaps that even the best fertility clinics simply can't fill.

Dr. Susan sits down with Ashlee Laroue — registered nurse, clinical nurse educator, fertility education specialist, and founder of Fertile Ease — whose 12+ years across women's health, labor and delivery, high-risk pregnancy, and fertility have shown her the same gap over and over again: patients going home with big questions and no one to call.

You'll learn what a fertility concierge nurse actually does (and how it's different from just having a clinic nurse), why over 90% of your fertility journey is happening at home — not in the office, how real-time text access prevents the 2am spiral into Dr. Google, why Ashlee works as a coach so she can support clients in all 50 states, why you shouldn't wait 6 months or a year to start asking questions, what labs most fertility clinics skip that could change everything, and why seeking support doesn't mean you're weak — it means you're the CEO of your own health.

This conversation is for you if you're navigating fertility treatment and feel like you're doing it mostly alone, you've been told to "just wait" and something doesn't feel right about that, you're pregnant after infertility and anxious about the transition out of the fertility clinic, you want someone in your corner who can anticipate your questions before you even ask them, or you're ready to stop Googling and start getting personalized, expert answers.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we explore how ancient Chinese Medicine wisdom meets cutting-edge AI technology to accelerate fertility outcomes—at a fraction of the cost of IVF.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Kirsten Karchmer, founder and CEO of Conceivable Technologies.. With 20 years of clinical experience helping thousands of women, Kirsten has done something revolutionary: she's taken the diagnostic precision of Chinese medicine and trained an AI to deliver it 24/7.

The results? A pilot study showed 150-260% increase in pregnancy likelihood—with the AI actually outperforming in-person clinical care. Women aged 37-44 saw a 260% improvement. At 1/1000th the cost of IVF.

You'll learn how Chinese medicine pattern differentiation became an algorithm, why daily check-ins accelerate results compared to weekly appointments, how AI tracks Qi, Blood, Yin, Yang, and Stagnation patterns without using TCM terminology, what happens when sentiment analysis catches emotional patterns affecting fertility, the 3 non-negotiables that must work before IUI/IVF, why asking "WHY" is where transformation happens, and how personalized supplements and meal plans adjust in real-time based on your patterns.

But this conversation goes deeper than fertility. Kirsten reveals her vision for an operating system for women's health from first period through postpartum and beyond, why trackers are actually injurious to women's health, how language changes physiology (stop saying "infertile!"), the order of operations: optimize first, intervene second, and why 97% of couples are locked out of fertility care by cost alone.

Listen to this episode if you're

• considering fertility treatment and want to accelerate your timeline naturally first,
• currently in treatment and want to optimize outcomes before your next cycle
• interested in how AI can scale personalized medicine without losing effectiveness, wondering how Chinese medicine diagnostic principles translate into technology
• supporting someone through fertility challenges and want to understand integrative approaches, or
• a healthcare professional curious about the future of women's health technology.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're tackling a critical gap in the fertility treatment journey: the missing emotional and educational support during IVF.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Laura Weppler, a certified fertility nurse, infertility doula, and IVF mom of two. With 12 years of clinical experience working with thousands of patients and her own personal journey through PCOS, miscarriage, and multiple failed embryo transfers, Laura intimately understands both sides of the fertility treatment experience.

Laura reveals a truth many don't realize until they're deep in treatment: while IVF technology is miraculous, the support system for patients' emotional well-being is severely lacking. Patients are overwhelmed, left piecing together information from Reddit, Facebook groups, and TikTok just to figure out tomorrow's injections—or simply to feel less alone.

You'll learn why having a "pocket fertility nurse" changes everything, what questions to ask BEFORE starting IVF (not during your stim cycle), how to bridge the gap between what clinics provide and what you actually need, why building a support village is the #1 factor in treatment completion, when to advocate for yourself with your OB or fertility clinic, what makes Laura different from your clinic nurse (hint: 24/7 access and personal experience), and why the emotional component is the leading reason people drop out of treatment—not finances.

But this conversation goes deeper than just navigating protocols. Dr. Susan and Laura discuss why you need to be the CEO of your fertility journey, how to integrate holistic and conventional care (it's not either/or, it's both/and), the importance of second opinions and building your care team, why waiting "just a little longer" can cost you precious time, and how proactive preparation 3+ months before treatment makes all the difference.

Listen to this episode if you're considering fertility treatment and want to understand what support you'll actually need, currently in IVF and feeling overwhelmed or forgotten by your clinic, supporting a partner through fertility treatment and want to help effectively, facing a failed cycle and terrified of "doing the same thing, hoping for different results," wanting to integrate holistic support with your medical treatment, or a healthcare professional looking to better support fertility patients.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're diving into the often-overlooked side of the fertility conversation: male factor infertility.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Arthur "Bud" Burnett II, M.D., MBA, FACS, a trailblazing urologist and globally recognized expert at Johns Hopkins University with over 40 years of experience. Dr. Burnett is a pioneer in male sexual health research—his groundbreaking work on erectile function helped make oral therapies like Viagra possible.

Dr. Burnett reveals a critical truth: male factor accounts for up to 50% of infertility cases, yet men's reproductive health is still frequently neglected in fertility conversations. This episode changes that.

You'll learn what lifestyle factors are silently damaging sperm quality (processed foods, stress, sleep deprivation, environmental toxins), when men should consider getting a semen analysis, what really matters in sperm testing (spoiler: it's not just count), and why the 72-day spermatogenesis cycle means changes take time. Dr. Burnett also shares insights on the emotional and mental health components of male fertility, why young men need primary care providers after pediatrics, and the exciting advances coming in male reproductive medicine through AI and genetics.

But this conversation goes deeper than fertility alone. Dr. Burnett discusses his upcoming book "Penis Confidential" (2026), which tackles what it means to be a man in modern society—from helping teenagers navigate healthy masculinity to supporting older men through prostate cancer and sexual dysfunction. He challenges outdated notions of "toughness" that prevent men from seeking emotional and medical support, and advocates for destigmatizing men's health conversations.

Listen to this episode if you're a couple trying to conceive and want to address both partners' health, a man concerned about sperm quality or reproductive health, someone supporting a partner through fertility challenges, a young man (or parent of one) seeking guidance on male health, a healthcare professional wanting better male fertility resources, or anyone interested in redefining healthy masculinity for the next generation.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're exploring one of the most empowering decisions women can make for their reproductive future: fertility preservation through egg freezing.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Jamie Knopman, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and co-author of the upcoming book "Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future." Dr. Knopman serves as Director of Fertility Preservation for CCRM Fertility of New York and is a leading advocate for women's reproductive health education.

Dr. Knopman shares why egg freezing is "the new sunscreen"—a preventative measure that gives women control over their reproductive timeline. She explains the ideal age to freeze eggs (hint: it's younger than you think), debunks common myths about the birth control pill and fertility, and reveals how the vitrification process has revolutionized success rates since 2011.

This conversation covers the complete egg freezing process from start to finish, the recovery timeline, how employee benefits are changing to support fertility preservation, and why reproductive health education should start as early as high school. Dr. Knopman also discusses fertility planning for LGBTQ+ couples, the importance of understanding your menstrual cycle, and how egg freezing fits into the broader picture of reproductive rights and body autonomy.

This episode is for you if if you're in your 20s or early 30s planning your career and future family, considering egg freezing but unsure where to start, working in HR and evaluating fertility benefits for employees, part of the LGBTQ+ community exploring family-building options, a parent wanting to educate your daughters about reproductive health, or a healthcare professional seeking to better counsel patients on fertility preservation.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're tackling one of the most concerning threats to fertility and health in our modern world: microplastics.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Matthew Dunn, molecular biologist and CEO of Clean Body Biotics, who's developed a groundbreaking solution to help our bodies clear microplastics through the gut. With microplastics now found in follicular fluid, seminal fluid, amniotic fluid, placenta, and throughout our bodies, this conversation offers hope and actionable solutions.

Dr. Dunn shares the science behind Winnow—a probiotic designed to bind and escort microplastics out of the body using nature's own "biological glue." What makes this even more compelling? It's not just another supplement to add to your routine—it's a replacement probiotic that supports gut health while actively protecting you from plastic pollution.

Dr. Dunn explains how 60% of microplastics enter through our food and water, how certain bacteria can stick to plastics and remove them through digestion, and why consistent daily protection matters more than occasional detox efforts. He also reveals the research connecting microplastics to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), reduced sperm quality, and compromised egg health.

Listen to this episode if you are trying to conceive or you are supporting fertility, if you are a woman planning egg freezing or IVF cycles, if you are a parent concerned about children's toxic load, if you are a health professional wanting evidence-based solutions for patients, or anyone seeking health sovereignty in an increasingly polluted world.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're crossing the bridge from fertility into the next phase of womanhood—preparing for perimenopause while you still have time to make a difference.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Lauren Tetenbaum, author of "Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life's Next Period." Lauren is a lawyer, turned licensed clinical social worker and perinatal mental health certified therapist who realized—after years of education and clinical experience—that she knew nothing about menopause. When she attended a networking event where every older woman said "I wish I had been warned," Lauren walked out with a mission: to tell her generation to be proactive.

This conversation is revolutionary because Lauren represents a generation saying "not on my watch." Millennials are uniquely positioned—straddling fertility, pregnancy, and the perimenopause transition, often having children in their late 30s and early 40s when perimenopause symptoms begin. Many don't know it, and when they raise the issue with their doctors, are told that if they are having regular menstrual cycles, they aren’t in perimenopause.

In this essential episode, you'll discover why perimenopause symptoms often start in your late 30s and are frequently mood-related, why you don't need to meet criteria for major depression to get help, the truth about the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study that left an entire generation without hormone therapy support, why aging is nothing to fear and help is available, and how society's ageism and sexism have made menopause a term people fear.

Lauren shares her personal adjustments—strength training at 40 for bone and cognitive health, sleep hygiene practices that actually work, and why a quick workout beats another cup of coffee when you're exhausted.

This episode is for women in their late 30s and 40s experiencing unexplained mood changes, anyone told they're "too young" for perimenopause or it's "just postpartum," women wanting to prepare for a healthy natural transition, their, partners and loved ones who want to understand and support, and healthcare providers who need updated education on menopause care.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're exploring the critical connection between women's health and wealth—and why your worthiness matters in both.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Nancy Griffin, a private client wealth advisor and creator of Women, Worth and Wellness. Nancy shares her deeply personal journey through infertility while climbing the corporate ladder at Procter & Gamble in the 1970s—a time when being a mother meant being passed over for international assignments, and fertility struggles had to be hidden like a "perceived weakness."

Nancy's story is one of transformation: from 18 years in corporate America as one of the first female managers, through fertility treatments she kept secret to protect her career, to leaving it all behind after realizing "I can't create a life, but perhaps I can save a life." This pivot led her into community leadership, then ultimately into wealth management—where she discovered she could make the most significant impact on women's lives.

In this powerful conversation, Nancy introduces the concept of the "Age of Integrity"—a new attitude in which women step into the driver's seat of their lives. She explains that health is wealth, that your worth is your worthiness, and why women should demand the care they deserve.

This episode is essential for women navigating fertility challenges while managing careers, anyone struggling with worthiness during family-building journeys, women planning for their financial and health futures, professionals wanting to support female clients holistically, and anyone ready to prioritize themselves.

Today at Health Youniversity we're exploring the critical connection between hormonal health and mental well-being.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Lauren LaRose, a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist who practices integrative psychiatry in the New Orleans area. Dr. LaRose shares her deeply personal journey with hormonal imbalances that began at age 11 and profoundly impacted both her fertility and mental health for decades.

From suffering through 15 years on birth control that caused anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure) and depressive symptoms, to experiencing two devastating miscarriages before discovering a simple progesterone deficiency, to finally being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroidism after multiple doctors dismissed her symptoms—Dr. LaRose's story illuminates why conventional medicine often falls short when it comes to hormone health.

Now, as a psychiatrist treating adolescent girls and women, Dr. LaRose has transformed her practice. Instead of defaulting to birth control or psychiatric medications alone, she educates patients and parents about how hormone imbalances affect neurochemical levels and manifest as mood disorders. She helps identify cyclical mood patterns, collaborates with functional medicine practitioners, and empowers patients to address root causes rather than masking symptoms.

This episode is essential for adolescent girls and women experiencing mood swings around their cycles, anyone struggling with anxiety or depression alongside period problems, parents of teenage daughters facing mental health challenges, women dealing with infertility and mood symptoms, and healthcare providers seeking a more integrative approach to mental health.

Dr. Susan chats with Arielle Creager, a Los Angeles-based personal trainer, certified nutritionist specialist candidate, and Nike LA trainer, who specializes in empowering pregnant and postpartum mothers through functional fitness and holistic nutrition.

Arielle’s personal health journey—overcoming chronic lung congestion through dietary changes when doctors couldn't find answers—sparked her passion for functional medicine and helping women optimize their bodies for conception, pregnancy, and for the rest of their lives.

Discover the essential movement patterns every woman should master before pregnancy, which lab tests to request from your doctor when trying to conceive, and why an anti-inflammatory diet is the foundation for fertility success.

Learn why strength training—especially core, pelvic floor, and glutes—can make all the difference in pregnancy outcomes, how to properly test for diastasis recti postpartum, and the overlooked connection between chronic dehydration and low energy.

This episode is essential for women preparing their bodies for conception, anyone navigating pregnancy complications, postpartum mothers rebuilding their strength, and healthcare providers who want to support holistic perinatal wellness.

In today’s episode of Health Youniversity, we're breaking the silence around vaginismus—a condition that is rarely discussed openly.

Join us as Dr. Susan sits down with Dr. Kayla Jimenez, a clinical psychologist at Stanford School of Medicine and co-founder of Palmetto Psychology Clinic, who specializes in a revolutionary approach: therapist-assisted exposure therapy for vaginismus.

Vaginismus, a condition where involuntary pelvic floor contractions cause pain with penetration, has a stigma that leaves women to suffer in silence. Learn how the pain-avoidance cycle keeps women trapped in fear and shame for years—sometimes decades.

Dr. Kayla shares the surprisingly effective treatment that can help women overcome this condition in as few as 8-20 sessions. She explains that while it's not "all in your head" psychological factors do matter. And she reports that high-achieving, perfectionist women are often the most affected by the distress of not being able to "fix" this problem on their own.

This episode is perfect for women experiencing painful intercourse or unable to use tampons, anyone struggling with pelvic exams or fertility treatments, healthcare providers who want to better support their patients, or loved ones who want to understand and help someone silently suffering.

In this episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Chef James Barry—celebrity chef to the stars, founder of Pluck superfood seasoning, and Shark Tank entrepreneur—to discuss why organ meats are nature's ultimate prenatal vitamin and how to actually get them into your diet without the "ick factor."

After 20 years as a private chef cooking for Tom Cruise, George Clooney, and Barbara Streisand, once he became a father of two young daughters Chef James became obsessed with solving one problem: How do we get the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet into modern diets when 93% of Americans are nutrient deficient?

Discover why organ meats are more easily absorbed than muscle meat, how the theory of "like supports like" works in ancestral nutrition, why freeze-dried liver beats your prenatal supplement, and how one woman who had hemorrhaged and had low supply in two prior pregnancies then had no hemorrhaging and abundant milk supply after using Pluck throughout her third pregnancy.

Learn about the neurolingual response—how your body's innate wisdom knows when to stop eating, why broccoli in 2025 has almost zero nutrients compared to 1960, and how to make organ meats as easy as salting your food.

This episode is essential listening for anyone trying to conceive, is pregnant, or wants to optimize their own and their family’s whole-body health through ancestral nutrition without cooking organ meats (that no one will eat).

Are you struggling with fertility? Do you want to increase your success by as much as 42%? In this solo episode of Health University, Susan Fox reveals breakthrough protocols in the Preconception Plan Perfected at Health Youniversity that have helped women improve their fertility outcomes: Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS).

As her patients suffered from unsuccessful frozen embryo transfers, she knew she had to get the word out about this evidence-based solution that's still the best-kept secret in fertility care.

In a meta-analysis of over 2,000 women TEAS improved live birth rate - not positive pregnancy tests but babies in arms by a whopping 42%. Learn how this simple at-home protocol improves blood flow to the uterine artery, enhances ovarian and uterine function, and can be used alongside IVF, egg freezing, or natural conception attempts.

Dr. Fox breaks down the Preconception Perfected Plan, which includes TEAS protocols, mind-body guided imagery with binaural beats, Qigong exercises synced to your menstrual cycle phases, targeted nutrition, and journaling tools—all designed to improve whole health and fertile health.

This episode is also a call to action: since 1 in 5 people is presumed to be struggling with infertility - oftentimes sub-fertility, it’s more important than ever that everyone knows there’s a way to improve outcomes. Please share this message and help someone realize their dream of family.

Barbara reveals the behind-the-scenes forces shaping fertility policy in America—from the Alabama Supreme Court decision to the rise of "restorative reproductive medicine" as a political strategy, to recent White House announcements about medication discounts and employer benefits.

Discover why the 84% medication discount may not be what it seems, what "supplemental benefits" really mean for employees, and why well-funded organizations opposing IVF are gaining ground while the fertility community is playing defense.

This episode is a Call To Action: If you're not at the table, you're on the menu. The status quo is unacceptable. Your voice matters. And now—more than ever—is the time to advocate.

Learn how patients, providers, and companies can get involved, what resources are available through RESOLVE, and why this moment demands we be louder than ever before.

In this episode of Health University, Dr. Susan Fox interviews Daniel Bayen, an open intentional sperm donor and founder of the Sperm Donor Association. Daniel was himself born through open donor conception and is raising awareness about ethical, transparent donation as an alternative to traditional sperm banks.

Discover why open donors prioritize the wellbeing of future children above all else, how donors and recipients are carefully matched for compatibility, and the rigorous health and genetic screening required of Sperm Donor Association members.

Learn about the growing demand for known donors among lesbian couples, single mothers by choice, and families with infertile partners—and why transparency, honesty, and ethical standards matter more than compensation.

This episode advocates for informed choice, genetic awareness, and the human connection that comes with knowing your child's biological heritage.

Daniel Bayen is a donor-conceived advocate and ethical sperm donor dedicated to redefining modern family building through openness and integrity. As the founder of the Sperm Donor Association, he guides donors and recipients with education, health-conscious standards, and a child-first approach that prioritizes transparency, safety, and long-term well-being.

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. Shay breaks down the "fertility stress trap" - revealing how chronic stress literally hijacks your body's hormone pathways and diverts resources away from reproduction toward survival.

ABOUT DR. WHITFIELD:

Dr. Robert Whitfield is a distinguished, board-certified plastic surgeon with a background in microsurgery and oncology who spent years performing breast reconstruction procedures for cancer patients.

Memorable Quotes:

“So it (getting long haulers) really has to do with the number of predispositions or predisposing factors that they have. So essentially those deficiencies and toxicity set the stage. And then all of a sudden the C 19 is the straw that broke the camel's back.” (10:00, Dr. Hirsch)

“If you don't know what problems you have, you cannot fix them.” (13:20, Dr. Hirsch)

“A level one problem is when fatigue can be resolved by lifestyle habits.” (17:25, Dr. Hirsch)

“If you're tired and it's not relieved by rest, or you're having problems sleeping and you're tired all the time, it's not normal. You need to get help because it is a warning sign.” (17:37, Dr. Hirsch)

“Now we're FOS: We're full of stuff. “ (20:20, Dr. Hirsch)

“We forget about our health sometimes. Let's talk about our career, how many years of training does it take to get trained in what you want to do? Right. But we don't think about that when it comes to our bodies. And so if you want to have a child, you need to set up your body in a way, whether you are male or female to be successful.” (23:33, Dr. Hirsch)

“ I think that all of us can pretty much be assured that there's time before that 120-day process that is influencing that egg.” (25:44, Dr. Susan)

Memorable Quotes:

“The pelvic floor is a really amazing part of our body that sits at the bottom of our abdominal canister and has relationships with pretty much the entire body from how we walk, to our posture, to even just how we stand on our feet” (2:51, Lizanne)

“Data does show that having a BMI over 25 can be a risk factor for pelvic organ prolapse” (13:32, Lizanne)

“I almost think of the pelvic floor muscles as somewhat of an upside down salad bowl” (16:43, Lizanne)

“The pelvis wants to move; those muscles want to move. They are meant to be active and engaged on and off all day long” (29:33, Lizanne)

“Try to imagine that there is a drinking straw in the perineum. And you want to gently close around the straw. So, you're going to close your lips or scrotum around the straw. And then try to lift, sip the water up the straw by lifting your pelvic floor muscles up, up, up. And now relax and let the drinking straw drop; you should truly be able to feel yourself lift and let go.” (30:51, Lizanne)

“A tight pelvic floor is going to have a harder time engorging with blood, you're going to have a harder time relaxing, and it may impact your sexual experience” (37:51, Lizanne)

“Pelvic organ prolapse is a type of herniation where one or more organs of the pelvic floor, the bladder, uterus, rectum, or even a small valve could have a prolapse, but it’s very rare. It’s an incredibly common phenomenon” (41:39, Lizanne)

“Often prolapse will self-correct over time but seek out a pelvic health therapist for help with this because there’s a lot we can do to help manage intra abdominal pressure; it’s really simple stuff.” (43:29, Lizanne)
