The Egg Whisperer Show

I'm so excited to share this conversation with my Dr. Lucky Sekhon, whose new book The Lucky Egg just came out on January 13th. She is a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and infertility expert, and in this episode, we dive deep into the fertility knowledge that everyone should have: whether you're trying to conceive now or planning for the future. We discuss the common myths that create unnecessary stress and guilt, and Dr. Lucky shares the inspiring story of how her book came to be. This conversation is grounded, uplifting, and packed with the kind of clarity that helps you move forward with confidence.
Read the full show notes, and find part 2 (coming out 1/27/26). 
In this episode, we cover:
The magical story behind Dr. Lucky's book and why fertility education matters so much
What to focus on during preconception planning, including testing that's often overlooked Common fertility myths debunked: low egg count, miscarriage prevention, IVF guarantees, and if sperm has a biological clock
Why the male biological clock matters and what advanced paternal age means for pregnancy outcomes
The truth about egg freezing, embryo storage, and realistic success rates
How to avoid the "life in a bubble" mentality and unnecessary restrictions during fertility treatment
Why everyone should learn about their biological clock in their twenties, regardless of family planning timeline

Last year in the United States a baby was born every 8 seconds. That's roughly 3.8 Million babies born last year alone! You don't have to be a fertility doctor to know what that means. Millions of people just like you were trying to conceive.


Research tells us that most couples conceive within six cycles of timed intercourse, but many others (roughly 10% of couples) are struggling with fertility.


Here's the funny thing about what I do. I want to teach you how NOT to be my patient. Of course, there are exceptions to that statement. But in general, I'd much prefer to share with you what I've learned about preparing for pregnancy in hopes that it makes your journey to parenthood easier. A journey that goes without needing to see me.

Embryo donation is an incredible path to parenthood, offering hope to those who may not have other options. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Paula Amato, a reproductive endocrinologist and professor at Oregon Health & Science University, to discuss her personal and professional experiences with embryo donation. Dr. Amato shares her unique perspective as both a fertility doctor and someone who has gone through the process herself.


We talk about the medical and ethical considerations of embryo donation, who it can benefit, and how families can navigate this journey. Dr. Amato also discusses the emotional aspects of embryo donation, including what it means for donors and recipients, and how transparency can play a role in shaping the future of donor-conceived children.


In this episode, we cover:
Dr. Paula Amato's professional background and personal connection to embryo donation
The medical, ethical, and legal aspects of embryo donation
Who embryo donation can help and what the process involves
Emotional considerations for both donors and recipients
The role of transparency and disclosure in donor-conceived families
The future of embryo donation in reproductive medicine

In this episode, I'm breaking down something that should be simple but often isn't: how to plan your fertility future. You don't need to be a fertility specialist or have a science degree to understand the basics of fertility planning. I want everyone to approach this the same way you'd plan a vacation: with intention, research, and realistic expectations. The most important thing I want you to know? Humans ovulate just one egg per month, and that egg only has about a 15% chance of being genetically healthy, even in our twenties. This fundamental truth changes everything about how we should approach family planning.


Throughout this episode, I share my three-rule framework that I live by: 
What do I want? 
What is it going to take to get what I want? 
And am I willing to do it? 

When applied to fertility, these questions help you get concrete and honest about your timeline, your options, and the steps you need to take now to avoid struggle later. I explain why fertility treatment is really about "egg rescue" - saving eggs from being lost forever - and why planning your fertility deserves at least as much attention as planning that dream vacation to the Maldives.


In this episode, we cover:

Understanding that we ovulate only one egg per month with a 15% chance of genetic viability at best
The reality of conception timelines: why it can take 6-12 months for healthy couples to conceive
Miscarriage statistics and why 20-30% of pregnancies end in the first trimester through no fault of your own
The three-question framework for planning your fertility future: what you want, what it takes, and your willingness to act
How egg freezing works as "IVF without the F" and why it's about rescuing eggs, not depleting them
Age-related fertility decline: why your chances at 41 (10% viable eggs) are dramatically different than in your twenties
Preparing for pregnancy like you'd prepare for a vacation: getting medically ready, addressing health issues, and genetic carrier screening

In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Fertility Confidence Podcast with host Dr. Kelsey Duncan. We talked all about NAD: what it is, why it matters, and how it supports fertility for both women and men. We also explored key nutrition and lifestyle strategies that improve cellular health, egg quality, and sperm health, especially for those trying to conceive over the age of 40. If you're looking for a holistic, science-backed approach to your fertility journey, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we cover:
- What NAD is and how it supports cellular health and fertility
- Why NAD levels decline with age and how to support them
- How NR (nicotinamide riboside) supplements may benefit egg and sperm quality
- The impact of nutrition, sleep, and stress on reproductive health
- A holistic, mind-body approach to optimizing fertility
