The Egg Whisperer Show

Whether you're local to me (San Francisco) or halfway around the world, it doesn't matter. I'm sharing science-based information with you today so that you don't have to turn to Google, tarot cards, or your co-worker when it comes to fertility advice.
Your situation is unique. I want you to keep that in mind. What you need may be different than someone else. What you need is based on you.
In a sense, your path to fertility treatment should be as customized as your coffee order.
So this is what I do with my patients. I start by getting to know them, and their fertility health.
Have you been starting with you?
What I mean is, do you know what your diagnosis is? Is there a clear and compelling answer for why you may not be getting pregnant? I don't believe in "unexplained infertility". There is an answer and my job is to help you find it.

In this episode, you'll learn all about how to pick the best fertility treatment plan for you.

Could fibroids be affecting your fertility? And if you have them, do they always need to be removed? These are questions I hear from patients all the time. 
In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Cheruba Prabakar, also known as The Fibroid Doc, about how fibroids can affect fertility, why location matters more than size, and when surgery may help.

Dr. Prabakar is a board-certified OB/GYN and fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon specializing in fibroid care and robotic surgery. She is the founder of Lamorinda Gynecology and Surgery in Lafayette, California, and the author of Fibroids Finally Heard: A Practical Guide From Diagnosis to Recovery. She and I also work together to care for fertility patients who need fibroid surgery.

In this episode, we cover:

When fibroids can affect fertility, implantation, and pregnancy, and when removal may be recommended.
The three types of fibroids: subserosal, intramural, and submucosal/intracavitary, and why location matters more than size.
How fibroids can change during pregnancy, including growth, degeneration, and potential complications.
The connection between fibroids and endometriosis, why the two conditions can coexist, and how treating both may affect fertility.
What to expect from a fertility-preserving robotic myomectomy, including recovery and timing for a future embryo transfer.
Real-world fibroid scenarios in our speed round, including when to consider surgery and the role of Lupron.

I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Meredith Provost to The Egg Whisperer Show for an essential conversation about weight, exercise, and fertility. Dr. Provost brings an incredible background to this discussion: she's a reproductive endocrinologist at Indiana Fertility Institute with degrees from NC State, McMaster University, and a PhD from Cambridge in the history and philosophy of science. As a former Division I volleyball player and athlete herself, she uniquely understands both the science and the practical realities of maintaining health while trying to conceive. Her approach is refreshingly balanced and evidence-based, making her the perfect expert to tackle these often-confusing topics.

In this episode, we dive deep into how weight impacts fertility for both women and men, exploring the hormonal mechanisms behind these connections. Dr. Provost shares her compassionate, non-restrictive approach to helping patients optimize their health without extreme measures or body shaming. We discuss realistic dietary recommendations, the role of BMI in fertility outcomes, and what exercise is safe during different stages of fertility treatment, from IUI cycles to egg freezing, IVF, and early pregnancy. Her philosophy of "fertility is a marathon, not a race" resonates throughout our conversation, offering hope and practical guidance for anyone on their fertility journey.
In this episode, we cover:
How weight affects the communication between your brain and ovaries, impacting ovulation
The difference between how higher and lower BMI affects fertility in women versus men
Why eating "real food" matters more than following restrictive fad diets
Exercise guidelines during IUI, IVF, egg freezing, embryo transfer, and early pregnancy
The truth about BMI goals and why Dr. Provost doesn't restrict treatment based on weight alone
How to create sustainable lifestyle changes with accountability partners
Why you shouldn't eliminate all the healthy coping mechanisms (like exercise) when trying to conceive
