Dr. Aimee invites board-certified genetic counselor Natalie Richeimer to discuss the crucial intersection of genetic counseling, IVF, and cancer. Natalie explains the role of genetic counselors in the fertility space, particularly how they assist patients in understanding their risk for genetic conditions stemming from family history, personal health, or ethnicity.


Dr. Aimee and Natalie talk about the important work done by JScreen, an organization providing accessible genetic testing for cancer and carrier screening. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding whether cancer is hereditary or sporadic, the implications of genetic predispositions, and how early genetic testing can impact fertility planning and treatment options.


Natalie shares insights on the different types of genetic tests available, including those for embryos, and emphasizes the evolving nature and expanding role of genetic testing in family planning. They also discuss common misconceptions about genetic testing, especially among patients with a family history of cancer, and offer practical advice on how to access genetic counseling and testing through JScreen.

I get asked questions about IVF daily, from my patients and from those seeking treatment elsewhere in the United States and beyond. While the steps involved in IVF are generally the same, the factors to consider and the patient's needs are all unique. While I can't cover all scenarios in a single show (or blog post), I do want to recap some of the most common questions I get and answer some specific inquiries that were emailed to me. There's a chance you have the same question as someone else.

Whether you're an egg donor now, if you're considering it, or you know someone that is — I'm glad you're here.
Young women are donating eggs at the time they are most fertile, often times not realizing the implications of what that means. I've had patients come to me in their 40s without enough healthy eggs of their own to conceive. When they share with me that they themselves donated their young and healthy eggs in their 20s or 30s, but that none are available for them, I feel frustrated and sad for them.
Frustrated enough that I'm doing something about it. Freeze & Share is a program that helps young egg donors save some eggs for themselves should they need them, while helping another family conceive when they can't on their own.
Suffice to say, I don't want anyone to look back at their egg donation and wish they'd known more.
Here is your chance — I want to give you all the information I have so that you're equipped with the knowledge to make the best decision for your personal situation.

Welcome to The Egg Whisperer Show! Today's guest is Dr. Mathew Leonardi, an advanced gynecological surgeon, sonologist, and researcher at McMaster University Medical Center in Hamilton, Canada. He's also completing his PhD at the University of Sydney, focusing on the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and surgical management of endometriosis.
Dr. Leonardi is internationally recognized for his work in gynecological surgery and ultrasound, serves as a Junior Ambassador for the World Endometriosis Society, and contributes to clinical guidelines and editorial boards in reproductive medicine. In this episode, we're diving into the latest advances in endometriosis diagnosis, treatment, and whole-patient care, including research into the microbiome, biomarkers, and alternative management strategies.
Here are some of the key questions and topics we cover in this conversation:
What it means to self-identify as an "endometriosis expert" and why early, accurate testing is so important
How the microbiome of the reproductive tract may influence both endometriosis and infertility
Why common biomarkers like CA-125 have limited usefulness, and what new research on VEGF and inflammatory markers may reveal
Whether genetic testing could one day help identify susceptibility to endometriosis
How complementary strategies like pelvic floor physiotherapy, dietary changes, acupuncture, cannabis, and psychotherapy can support fertility patients living with endometriosis
Why advocacy (both self-advocacy in the clinic and public advocacy through research and awareness) is key to advancing care for all patients
