I'm excited to be joining Dr. Lorne Brown on the Conscious Fertility Podcast to dive into a fascinating topic: Rapamycin. While it's started to be used as an anti-aging drug, I've been exploring its potential for reproductive health, especially in improving fertility and delaying menopause. 
In this episode, I share my personal experience taking Rapamycin, including how it's affected my skin, menstrual cycles, and overall health. We'll also get into the science behind it and how it may be beneficial for women going through menopause or undergoing fertility treatments like IVF. 
While I'm passionate about this topic, I want to emphasize that this is not medical advice—always consult your doctor before considering any new treatments. I also share how my alcohol-free lifestyle supports my approach to healthy aging and fertility.
Key points covered include:
How Rapamycin may help delay menopause, reverse its effects, and support fertility treatments.
Some of the potential side effects, like cystic acne and mouth sores.
Why I started using and prescribing Rapamycin for longevity and helping women improve fertility later in life.
My personal experience with Rapamycin, including smoother skin, regular cycles, and no gray hair at 48.
The importance of consulting your doctor before trying Rapamycin, as this podcast is informational and not meant as medical advice.

Can eggs be made from skin cells? Could a skin biopsy one day replace egg retrieval entirely? In this episode, Dr. Aimee sits down with Dr. Sherman Silber, a world-renowned pioneer in infertility and reproductive biology whose groundbreaking work in IVF, IVM, ovary freezing, and in vitro oogenesis has redefined what's possible in fertility medicine.
In this episode, we cover:
• What IVM is and how it differs from traditional IVF
• The "give every egg a chance" philosophy
• How IVM benefits PCOS patients without hormonal stimulation
• Making eggs and sperm from skin cells (in vitro oogenesis)
• Why a skin biopsy could one day beat egg retrieval
• Ovarian transplantation to delay menopause and extend longevity
• The regulatory landscape for these breakthrough technologies

After 20 years of practicing medicine, I've learned that not everything is sunshine and rainbows. To help myself and my fertility patients, I've adopted a "float through life" mindset—emphasizing mindfulness, calmness, adaptability, and acceptance. Whether you're going through IVF or simply exploring your fertility options, cultivating a positive mindset can help you feel more grounded and supported in the process.
In this episode, I share how mindfulness and a flexible mindset can be powerful tools for fertility patients. Instead of being consumed by stress or uncertainty, you'll learn how to approach IVF and your fertility journey with more ease, presence, and hope. This shift toward a positive mindset doesn't mean ignoring challenges—it means embracing tools that allow you to move through them with greater strength and grace.
In this episode, we cover:
How to embrace situations as they come without spiraling when plans change
The power of mindfulness and accepting impermanence in difficult times
Ways to stay flexible, cultivate gratitude, and detach from rigid outcomes
Why humor, lightheartedness, and community support matter in tough moments
Practical steps for prioritizing self-care, limiting overthinking, and trusting the journey

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I welcome Dr. Katie Lee, a holistic and integrative functional dentist, to answer real-life questions about the surprising connection between oral health and fertility. We cover practical advice, debunk myths, and provide actionable tips for optimizing both dental and reproductive health. Plus, we're talking about how visiting a dentist is so important as part of your fertility journey that I'm considering adding a "D" (for dentist) to The TUSHY Method.  Welcome to "TUSHY-D!"
We dive into how the oral microbiome affects hormones, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes, including topics like gum inflammation, dental anxiety, and systemic inflammation markers. Dr. Katie also shares simple, evidence-based strategies couples can implement to protect their oral and reproductive health, plus the top products and tests she recommends for anyone planning a pregnancy.
In this episode, we cover:
Daily habits and oral care tips that support fertility and overall reproductive health
Safety of dental procedures, X-rays, and managing dental anxiety before IVF

I am talking to the incredible Victoria Nino, author of Our Hearts Match, donor conception advocate, and mom of two about one of the most vulnerable moments in a fertility journey: what happens after IVF fails.
 
Victoria has lived through multiple failed IVF cycles, stage three endometriosis, years of heartbreak, and ultimately became a mother twice over through donor egg conception via two very different paths. Her story is raw, honest, and full of the kind of hard-won wisdom that only comes from truly living it.
 
We dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of failed IVF cycles, the grief that so often goes unacknowledged, and what it really takes to open the door to donor eggs, not out of defeat, but out of empowerment. Victoria shares how education, community, and even a spiritual trip to Thailand helped her find her footing, and why she believes you don't have to be 100% emotionally ready, you just have to be willing to take a peek.
 
In this episode, we cover:
 
The grief of failed IVF cycles and why it deserves to be treated like any other profound loss
The emotional tipping point between exhaustion and openness when considering donor eggs
The difference between fresh and frozen donor eggs including cost, timeline, and access
What an open donor relationship looks like and why Victoria wishes she'd had it from the start
How epigenetics and bonding science can help shift your perspective on the mother-child relationship
Overcoming shame, fear of judgment, and the "am I the real mom?" question
Why Victoria's one regret is that she didn't do it sooner and what she'd tell anyone in the "what now" moment right now
