The Donor Project Dr Miranda Myles

In this episode, the amazing Dr Marc Sklar, aka The Fertility Expert, and I discuss why it is important to prepare your body and mind for your donor egg/sperm pregnancy. Just because you are using young eggs or sperm does not guarantee a successful outcome. We discuss the impact of health of the intending mum & her genetic influence (yes your baby does inherit some of your DNA), how to improve endometrial lining and receptivity for embryo implantation, and the role of acupuncture in DEIVF. For the intending dads, we talk about the role of the male when we are trying to create super embryos- we don’t want to mix crappy sperm with gorgeous young eggs, and how to improve sperm quality- nutrients, exercise & lifestyle. I can't wait for you to listen.   

Enjoy! Love MM 💞

Charlie shares with us fascinating insights into the impact of parenting styles, unhealthy lifestyle habits including addiction on men’s health.
