In this episode we hear about The Past, Present and Future of Egg Freezing from one of its pioneers, Dr James Grifo.
Dr Grifo is Program Director for the NYU Langone Fertility Center, and a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the NYU Langone Prelude Medical Center, in New York.
From controversial beginnings, egg freezing has come a long way in the last decade - and through research and his work as a practicing clinician, Dr Grifo has contributed much to its development and entry into the mainstream as a family planning option for people today.
Talking to ELANZA Wellness’s Catherine Hendy, Dr. Grifo talks about how his research helped to clinically prove egg freezing, how he counsels patients considering the procedure, why egg freezing has boomed in the past decade, the effect of COVID-19 and how new technologies may impact the future of fertility preservation.
This podcast is by the authors of the doctor-approved guide Everything Egg Freezing: The Essential Step-by-Step Guide to Doing it Right, available on Amazon.
