Skin Care Choices That May Be Affecting Your Fertility - Inside the Fertility Puzzle with Dr. Kela
Q: What can you do today to prioritize egg health?
Prioritize nourishing your body with whole food nutrition, seven to nine hours of sleep, stress management, consistent movement, toxin reduction, and supporting gut and thyroid health, while understanding that age is only one piece of the overall fertility puzzle.
Skin Care Choices That May Be Affecting Your Fertility - Inside the Fertility Puzzle with Dr. Kela
Q: So what is egg quality?
Egg quantity is the number of eggs you're born with, while egg quality refers to how healthy those eggs are inside the follicle; quality determines how well eggs will fertilize, implant, and develop into a healthy pregnancy.
448: Breaking the Chronic Illness Cycle with Dr. Bill Rawls
Q: Tell us more about your background and how you shifted from traditional medicine to a cellular health approach.
I transitioned from conventional obstetrics to holistic medicine after experiencing personal health challenges, which led me to see chronic illness as rooted in cellular stress and environmental factors rather than purely symptom management. This shift emphasized treating root causes, including autophagy, microbial factors, and lifestyle, to restore overall health and fertility.
Hidden Factors -Egg Quality and Embryo Development with Lindsay Chu
Q: Could you walk us through what the IVF process looks like, from start to finish?
Lindsay outlines the typical IVF process: building a coordinated team, baseline blood work and ultrasounds, possible IUI before IVF, timing of medications over about two weeks, egg retrieval with anesthesia, embryo development checks on days 3, 5, 6, and 7, and decisions around PGTA/PGTM testing or fresh transfers depending on the plan. She emphasizes personalized planning and communication with the care team.
Rewriting the Fertility Narrative: Womb Health, Advocacy, and Closing the Gap in Women's Outcomes with Carmen Davis
Q: What advice would you give to people who feel dismissed by their doctors?
Document symptoms, seek second opinions, and don't hesitate to ask for supervisors or alternative providers; bringing a trusted advocate can make a big difference in how you are treated.
