    Sperm Health: A New Test from PS Fertility with guest Jeff Lysiak (PS Detect)

    I'm thrilled to bring you this conversation about a breakthrough in male fertility diagnostics that's been literally hiding in plain site. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jeff Lysiak, PhD, co-founder and Chief Science Officer at PS Fertility, to discuss phosphatidylserine (PS) and how this critical molecule on sperm is revolutionizing how we diagnose male infertility. Jeff shares the fascinating story of how his research at the University of Virginia led to discovering that PS on the surface of sperm is essential for fertilization and how traditional semen analysis completely misses this vital piece of the puzzle. Read the full show notes on my website.  This episode addresses a frustration I've experienced for years in my practice: couples with "normal" semen analysis results who still have trouble when it comes to trying to conceive. Research shows that 20-30% of men with normal basic semen analysis could still be infertile, and we've had no way to identify them, until now.  In this episode, we cover: What phosphatidylserine (PS) is and why it's critical for sperm to fuse with and fertilize an egg The major limitations of standard semen analysis (count, motility, morphology) and why 20-30% of men with "normal" results may still be infertile How the PS Detect test works using flow cytometry to assess over 10,000 sperm per sample The connection between varicocele and low PS scores—and how varicocelectomy surgery can restore PS levels to normal ranges When the PS test should be ordered in a fertility workup and what to do if scores are low Early data showing over 30% of men seeking fertility treatment have low PS scores, including those with normal semen analysis How this test can prevent women from undergoing unnecessary treatments when the male factor is undiagnosed Resources: PS Fertility website: psfertility.com PS Detect at-home test kit Nature Communications publication on phosphatidylserine and fertilization Dr. Aimee's Supplement Stack The TUSHY Method OVANAD+ by Theralogix.

    The Best Fertility Treatment Options

    People seem to always be full of advice about fertility, and while most of it comes from a place of wanting to be helpful, not all of it is well informed or welcome. When you are trying to conceive, the last thing you want to hear is that you need to "relax." Or "go on a vacation, drink some wine, and let nature run its course." Am I right?   In this episode, I'm sharing the types of treatments that fertility doctors offer to patients, including information about fertility pills, fertility shots, IUI, and IVF. I'm also outlining some of the natural things you can do to improve your chances of conceiving, like salt floats, hypnotherapy, and self care.

    Why Sperm Counts and Male Fertility Rates are Dropping: Count Down with guest Dr. Shanna Swan

    Did you know that fertility rates have dropped 50% in the last 5 decades, and more and more people are requiring help to grow their family? Some are calling it "Spermageddon." I'm not one to run with fantastical headlines, but the truth is that we are facing an infertility epidemic. And, this is all heartbreaking for the people dealing with infertility, and for us as a society.   Today, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Shanna Swan on The Egg Whisperer Show to talk about this upsetting truth. Dr. Swan is one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists and a Professor of environmental medicine and public health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. An award-winning scientist, her work examines the impact of environmental exposures including chemicals such as phthalates and Bisphenol A, on men's and women's reproductive health and the neurodevelopment of children. She just recently published her book, "Countdown: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race."   We will be talking about the data and information that Dr. Swan has gathered, the environmental factors that are playing a role, and what we can do to reverse some of the impact. I hope you'll tune in and share this information far and wide. CountMeIn on changing this epidemic - and thank you for writing your eye-opening new book, Dr. Swan.   Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more fertility tips!

    Egg Freezing: An Overview of IVF and Egg Freezing with Dr. Aimee (Hosted by Dr Ban)

    Hosted by Dr. Ban, I'm sharing everything you need to know about getting precision fertility care.... in ten minutes. You'll hear all about the TUSHY Method, the specifics of the BALLS Method, along with the Egg Whisperer DIET and your fertility TEAM. There are many relatively easy and affordable ways to get smart about your fertility. We will never eliminate all of the unknowns, but we can take some simple steps to understand our body and how it may impact our ability to get pregnant. For example, there are sperm kits that you can get delivered to your home without even needing to see a doctor. There's so much technology available now to improve treatment outcomes. Yet, what I think is really important to note is that just because you see a fertility doctor it does not mean you want to do a treatment. I think that's a big barrier for people. What I tell people is to go see someone and get your TUSHY checked, get your sperm checked. Learn more about yourself so that you're not wasting time or money doing something that's not going to work. Read the full show notes on my website. Do you have questions about IVF and Egg Freezing? Join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class, where you will learn all about IVF AND Egg Freezing, and have a chance to ask you her questions live on Zoom.

  5. How Important is Embryo Quality?

    How Important is Embryo Quality?

    I have patients that come to me from all over the world. There's one question I always ask when reviewing their IVF cycle history. What was your embryo quality? I hear time and time again from patients that they don't know it because their doctor told them embryo quality doesn't matter with IVF. That's simply not true! Just like diamonds in a jewelry store. Quality matters. Just like there is a grading system for diamonds, there is also a grading system for embryos. It's important for you to know that this exists and to ask for your embryo grade. When it comes to getting pregnant and IVF, the implantation rate is determined by the embryo quality and rating.  Read the full show notes at Dr. Aimee's website. Do you have questions about how embryo quality plays a role in IVF? Dr. Aimee will answer your questions in The IVF Class.

    Beyond IVF: PCOS, PGT-P, Rapamycin, and the Fertility Deep Dive with Dr. Steve Palter

    In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by Dr. Steven Palter, founder and medical director of Gold Coast IVF, to explore what happens when fertility care goes beyond quick fixes and becomes true detective work.  Dr. Palter is internationally recognized for his innovative Palter Fertility Method - a systematic, personalized approach that treats infertility as a multilevel disease rather than a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. We discuss how metabolic health, emerging technologies, and surgical precision are transforming outcomes for patients who've been told they're out of options. Read the full show notes on my website. In this episode, we cover: The Palter Fertility Method: diagnostic deep dives, success maps, and the "success spiral" approach to personalized fertility care How insulin resistance drives PCOS and why treating it like "diabetes of the ovary" can reverse infertility The PCOS to Pregnancy Protocol: using continuous glucose monitors, metabolic coaching, and low-carb interventions to restore ovulation PGT-P (preimplantation genetic testing for polygenic conditions): what it is, how it works, and the ethics of screening embryos for complex diseases like autism, Alzheimer's, and diabetes Rapamycin therapy for egg quality: the science behind this longevity drug and why it's showing remarkable results in women over 40 Advanced imaging and surgical techniques that uncover hidden causes of infertility like endometriosis, fibroids, and uterine abnormalities The importance of resistance training, zone-two exercise, and metabolic health for fertility and longevity Resources: Gold Coast IVF: https://www.goldcoastivf.com Dr. Steven Palter on Instagram/TikTok/Facebook: @stevenpaltermd Dr. Aimee's website: https://www.draimee.org/ Do you have questions about IVF?

    How to Avoid the Most Common IVF Mistakes with guest Dr. Jenna McCarthy

    Today on The Egg Whisperer podcast, my dear friend Dr. Jenna McCarthy is joining me to talk all about the most common IVF mistakes. Our intent is to share as much information as we can with you so you'll go into an IVF cycle aware, empowered and feeling comfortable with what is going on. We want people to avoid these mistakes and also hear that they're common, they happen, and there's always something you can do if you're dealing with an issue.⠀ We're talking about troubleshooting needle and syringe issues, the importance of not eating or drinking before your egg retrieval, timing of the trigger shot, sperm emergencies, and medication dosage issues and more.
