  • Thank You!

    I truly appreciate your show and the well rounded view you give on topics! I have particularly found your potty training episode, your episode about choices you will make for baby in the hospital, and your episode on preeclampsia (which I have had twice) quite useful! I look forward to continuing to listen as a postpartum mama!

  • Impeccable!

    Truly a cut above the rest. I haven’t found anything else that compares. Thank you for the impeccably researched content and accessible approach! Agree the audio needs to be tinkered with.. i’ve got to crank this so high up to hear. But it’s my only complaint.

  • Highly recommend!

    This podcast is not only super educational but it’s fun to listen to! Gorgeous women who are so balanced in their knowledge being on the more natural side of things but not blind to using modern medicine when it’s needed. I’ve been listening through trying to conceive and am now in my third trimester and have learned a lot.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Every Female Founder Needs to Know Before Getting Pregnant with Natalie Samson | #176
Q: What is the biggest change you expect when a founder becomes pregnant, and how should they handle it?
The change is highly individual, but many experience shifts in energy and the need to restructure how they work. Planning ahead for seasons, embracing flexibility, and creating systems so the business can run without the founder help maintain continuity and reduce stress.
Mini IVF vs Traditional IVF: A Personalized Fertility Approach with Dr. Lyndon Chang | #174
Q: What should patients do if their IVF cycles fail multiple times?
Seek a clear, actionable plan from their doctor about what would be done differently, and consider getting a second opinion or a clinic with a more individualized approach to protocol adjustment and failure analysis.
Mini IVF vs Traditional IVF: A Personalized Fertility Approach with Dr. Lyndon Chang | #174
Q: What role does the uterine environment play in IVF success?
The uterus can be a critical factor; in some cases, optimizing the uterine environment and considering natural or less aggressive transfer strategies can improve implantation and pregnancy outcomes.
Mini IVF vs Traditional IVF: A Personalized Fertility Approach with Dr. Lyndon Chang | #174
Q: Can you explain how mini IVF differs from traditional high-stimulation IVF?
Mini IVF uses fewer medications and focuses on minimal stimulation, aiming to reduce side effects and risks while still achieving successful retrievals, often with a greater emphasis on individualized hormone monitoring.
The Hidden Signs of Endometriosis: Infertility, Painful Periods & What Actually Helps with Cindy Dabrowska | #172
Q: How long did it take you to actually be diagnosed with endo?
Diagnosis can be a long process for many women, with variability in timelines; Cindy shares her own journey of symptom onset at age 12 and eventual diagnosis in 2018, highlighting how the pathway can be lengthy and challenging.
