  • Data meets empathy and hope

    Anne makes me feel hopeful in a way that isn’t rooted in naive or blind optimism, but in data and research, and a cow belief that we all have the capacity to support our bodies toward healthier states. I especially appreciate the feminist (ie equality focused) lens she brings to the fertility conversation.

  • A champion of people

    I’m listening to this podcast after a failed IVF attempt and it gave me strength and hope. Anne seems to be doing exactly what all fertility doctors should be doing at their practice. I love that she looks at people as unique individuals and explore the root causes of their issues instead of throwing standardized protocols at them to see what sticks. A fertility clinic’s goal is to get you pregnant via assisted reproductive technologies. Anne’s goal is to get people pregnant no matter how. I hav... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Fertility Story - Recurrent Miscarriage & Immune Testing: Five Losses, Varicocele Repair & Refusing Unexplained
Q: What changed the course of the journey after several miscarriages?
The realization that the failures were not solely due to chromosomal issues but also involved immune factors and male partner considerations, which led to expanded diagnostics, immunological treatments, and cross-border clinic referrals, ultimately opening up new strategies such as surrogate planning and targeted therapies.
A Fertility Story - Recurrent Miscarriage & Immune Testing: Five Losses, Varicocele Repair & Refusing Unexplained
Q: Where should we begin the story?
We start with the couple's decision to try for pregnancy during the challenging 2020 period, moving through early pregnancy losses, and then the medical investigations that followed, including RPL workups and the shift toward IVF and immune therapies as the path forward.
Explaining Unexplained Infertility: DNA Fragmentation, Immune Testing & Why Your Lining Matters
Q: Unexplained. How do you define? I'm F, 33, soon 34. All tests okay for me, my husband on our 10th cycle.
The host explains that unexplained infertility often masks issues in seed, soil, or environment, including male factors like varicocele and immune/lining problems, and emphasizes testing beyond standard panels to uncover actionable causes.
Fertility Questions I Answer Every Day in Clinic: DNA Fragmentation, Exercise, Coffee & Age
Q: Why did my friend's protocol work for her, but not for me?
Fertility treatment protocols must be individualized, and what works for one person may not work for another due to differences in diagnosis and health backgrounds.
Fertility Questions I Answer Every Day in Clinic: DNA Fragmentation, Exercise, Coffee & Age
Q: Is coffee bad for my fertility?
Moderate caffeine intake (about one to two cups of coffee a day) does not have apparent adverse effects on fertility or pregnancy outcomes.
