    Fertility Myths, IVF & What the Science Actually Says with Dr. Jaime Knopman

    This week on Scrambled, Ash and Alyssa are joined by Dr. Jaime Knopman, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist based in New York City. Every day, Dr. Knopman helps patients navigate IVF, egg freezing, fertility preservation after cancer, and the complex realities of building a family. She's also the author of Own Your Fertility, a practical guide that empowers people to better understand their reproductive health and make informed decisions about their future.

    Welcome to episode 34 of Scrambled the Podcast. In this episode, Ash & Alyssa are joined by guest, Hilary Dubin, founder of Quit With Jones. While many people know smoking can impact reproductive health, vaping is often viewed as the "safer" alternative.
