I am delighted to have Larkin McPhee joining me today on The Egg Whisperer Show. She is going to bring attention to something that is near and dear to my heart, and that is her new  NOVA special, Fighting for Fertility. I have had the pleasure of working with Larkin on Fighting for Fertility, which is about fertility and assisted reproductive technology and its contribution to the remarkable diversity of the modern family.


Larkin is a Peabody and Emmy Award winning director, producer, and writer of documentary films. Her films have covered topics ranging from personal finance with Suze Orman to nuclear power to the illness of depression. Meticulous research, outstanding characters, and powerful storytelling make her films extraordinarily compelling. Her skills as a director, writer, and documentarian bring beauty and clarity to any topic.


Her documentaries impart a deep knowledge of the subject matter and provide viewers with a blueprint for positive change. Larkin is well known for her intimate sensitive portrayals of people in critically acclaimed films such as Depression: Out of the Shadows, a primetime PBS special on the illness of depression, Dying to Be Thin, a NOVA special on eating disorders, and Children By Design, one hour of an eight-hour PBS series called Secret of Life on the marvels and perils of the genetic revolution.

As you know, I encourage all fertility patients to support themselves throughout their fertility journey from a mind and body perspective. I’m beyond delighted to have Alice D. Domar, Ph.D back on the podcast to talk about how to support fertility with mind/body strategies and techniques. She is currently the Chief Compassion Officer at Inception, an associate professor in obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology, part-time, at Harvard Medical School, and a senior staff psychologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
 
Dr. Domar established the first ever Mind/Body Center for Women’s Health ~ as well as the very first Mind/Body Program for Fertility. She now teaches people strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and distress through relaxation, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, and yoga. Research continues to show that mind/body infertility programs not only improves psychological symptoms, but also increases pregnancy rates. We will be talking about all of this, along with her redesigned mobile app FertiCalmPro (which contains more than 500 solutions to the events and situations most likely to cause distress for anyone experiencing infertility), and her new program with Best Shot. 
 
This discussion about the mind/body connection is so very important, because the mental and emotional strain on fertility patients is something that doesn’t get enough attention. Be sure and check out Dr. Domar's books and resources for more information.

Alex Budak is an author and faculty member at Berkeley Haas School of Business. He recently wrote a book called "Becoming a Changemaker."
 
If there is anything I know about fertility patients it's that you all know a lot about being on a journey that often involves embracing change. You become more resilient, and you follow a "growth" mindset. You cling to hope and you let it lead the way forward. It's no surprise that I would have a social entrepreneur and changemaker on the show. 
 
You have a lot in common with what Alex teaches and writes about:
"Developing a changemaker mindset often requires holding two seemingly contradictory traits simultaneously: Having a strong personal vision yet being open to collaborating with others. Employing drive and determination to push through barrier after barrier yet knowing when to step back and recharge." 
 
Today we're talking about how to become a Changemaker on your fertility journey. Here are three traits he believes a changemaker has:
1. There's always another way
2. Existing at the edges
3. Learned Hopefulness / Learned Optimism

PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome. Many people interpret it to mean you have big cysts on your ovaries, but that's not true at all. When I hear PCOS I think of it as a call to, &ldquoPlease Confirm this Ovary Syndrome."
So much is misunderstood about PCOS! Women are often told, “oh you don’t need to worry about it until you’re ready to have babies.” That could not be further from the truth. Today on the podcast, I'm talking about 5 novel treatments for PCOS.
