The Egg Whisperer Show

Today on The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm delighted to be joined by Rosanne Austin.  She is the author of two best selling books: "Am I the Reason I'm not Getting Pregnant?," and "Are We the Reason We're Not Getting Pregnant?". She is the creator of "The Fearlessly Fertile" method which has helped thousands of women become pregnant. She's also a certified coach through the International Coach Federation, and member of the California State Bar. She was a fertility patient before she became a coach, going through 7 years of treatment before giving birth to her son at age 43.

We are going to talk about what it means to become "Fearlessly Fertile," which is also the name of her podcast. We are diving into the mind-body connection, how it works, and how fertility patients can change their mindset. Plus, she is sharing three steps to reduce stress while you are on your fertility journey.
Thank you for joining me, Rosanne!

Is it just your age, or is inflammation really affecting your fertility? In this episode, I'm breaking down the real relationship between hormones, inflammation, and egg quality — why age isn't the whole story, how chronic inflammation impacts your fertility, what your cycle is really trying to tell you, and how to balance lifestyle changes with treatment like IVF for the best possible outcome. 
Joining me is one of my favorite fellow fertility doctors, Dr. Natalie Crawford  @NatalieCrawfordMD   a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, co-founder of Fora Fertility in Austin, Texas, host of the As a Woman Podcast, and author of The Fertility Formula.
✅️In this episode, we cover:
- Why simplifying fertility decline to "just age" does a disservice to patients
- How chronic inflammation affects egg quality, mitochondrial function, and chromosome alignment
- Why your menstrual cycle is a vital sign and how most tracking apps get ovulation wrong
- The best tools and methods for accurately tracking ovulation (BBT, LH tracking, cervical mucus, wearables)
- Why baseline cycle knowledge matters, especially after stopping contraception
- How to balance lifestyle changes with moving efficiently toward treatment like IVF
- Why IVF success starts with preparation, not just the procedure itself
