The Egg Whisperer Show

I'm thrilled to join Whitney Hall on the Create a Happy Family podcast to share everything you need to know about taking control of your fertility journey before you even step into a doctor's office. I loved this conversation with Whitney so much that I'm sharing with you on The Egg Whisperer Show, too!
As a fertility specialist with over 16 years of experience, I've seen too many people start their family-building journey without understanding their baseline fertility health, and I'm here to change that. In this conversation, I break down my TUSHY Method, a simple five-test framework that gives you clarity about your reproductive health, whether you're 25 or 45, single or partnered, just starting to think about kids or already deep in treatment.
Read the full show notes on my website.
In this episode, we cover:
The TUSHY Method: Five essential fertility tests everyone should know about (tubes, ultrasound, sperm, hormones, and genetic carrier screening)
Why proactive fertility testing matters, even if you're not ready to start trying yet
Realistic expectations for egg quality, embryo banking, and success rates at different ages
Egg freezing vs. embryo freezing: How to create a strategic plan based on your goals
Breaking down egg donation myths and why my patients' only regret is not doing it sooner
How to advocate for yourself in fertility appointments by asking one simple question: "Why?"
The red flags you should never ignore—from painful periods to relationship issues

You know that when someone writes a book titled "GUYnecology," I'm going to want to have them on the podcast ASAP. Today, Rene Almeling joins me for an informative and fun conversation about the history of male fertility medicine.

Dr. Rene Almeling is an associate professor of sociology at Yale University where her research and teaching has focused on gender and medicine. Using a science based approach, she examines how our bodies, and cultural norms interact to influence scientific knowledge, medical markets, and our individual experiences. Her new book, GUYnecology, takes a look at why society pays little attention to men's reproductive health and discusses how this gap affects medical knowledge, health policies, and reproductive politics.

In this episode, I'm talking to Dr. Nirali Shah Jain, a fertility specialist and researcher who's making waves both in the clinic and on social media as @eggspert_md. Dr. Jain brings a refreshing blend of evidence-based medicine and genuine compassion to the often overwhelming world of IVF. We dive deep into her groundbreaking research on PGT-A testing in donor egg cycles, published in Fertility and Sterility, and discuss what it really means for patients making decisions about embryo testing. Her unique background as a trained dancer in Indian classical, modern, and ballet gives her a disciplined yet creative approach to patient care that truly sets her apart.

Struggling with fertility is not easy. It's important to stay positive. For example, I like to think of you being IN-fertile. As in you're "in" the club vs. infertile meaning you're "not" fertile. Call me crazy, but I truly believe in the fertility of everyone who walks through my door. Nobody is a number or FSH or AMH level.

What do those things even mean? That's what I want to talk to you today.


💙Do your best best to find a positive mental attitude.
💙Be proactive about your preconception tests. You can find a full list of the ones to consider on my website.
💙Understand egg count, egg health, egg aging, and what you can do about it.
💙Get your TUSHY checked.
💙Understand the role of sperm and sperm health in embryo creation.
💙Once you have a embryos, consider additional tests before embryo transfer.

Lynn Jensen is a yoga expert, and she created the "Yoga for Fertility"program in 2002, after dealing with her own fertility challenges for several years. She practiced yoga while trying to conceive, and noticed that it had many benefits: it gave her more resilience, and helped with her mindset while going through fertility treatment. She wanted to take what she learned to help other women who are trying to conceive, and I could not be more excited to have her joining me on the podcast today!

In addition to talking about the best poses for boosting your fertility, how yoga for fertility is different than regular yoga, and also she shares thoughts on why yoga can help anyone who is TTC:
"Yoga can help shift your mindset to one where instead of this is something being "achieved," (we're trying to 'achieve' this pregnancy,) that actually what we're trying to do is receive. That's a very different mindset and a very different way to approach it."
