The Egg Whisperer Show

Read the full notes and transcript at Dr. Aimee's website. After 20 years of practicing medicine, I've learned that not everything is sunshine and rainbows. To help myself and my fertility patients, I've adopted a "float through life" mindset—emphasizing mindfulness, calmness, adaptability, and acceptance. Whether you're going through IVF or simply exploring your fertility options, cultivating a positive mindset can help you feel more grounded and supported in the process. In this episode, I share how mindfulness and a flexible mindset can be powerful tools for fertility patients. Instead of being consumed by stress or uncertainty, you'll learn how to approach IVF and your fertility journey with more ease, presence, and hope. This shift toward a positive mindset doesn't mean ignoring challenges—it means embracing tools that allow you to move through them with greater strength and grace. In this episode, we cover: How to embrace situations as they come without spiraling when plans change The power of mindfulness and accepting impermanence in difficult times Ways to stay flexible, cultivate gratitude, and detach from rigid outcomes Why humor, lightheartedness, and community support matter in tough moments Practical steps for prioritizing self-care, limiting overthinking, and trusting the journey Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

I'm joined by Dr. Brian Levine, founding partner and practice director of CCRM New York, and founder of Nodal, to discuss the future of fertility care. We explore how artificial intelligence is transforming embryo selection and improving clinical outcomes, and we take a transparent look at the true costs of egg freezing and what patients should expect. Dr. Levine also shares how Nodal is revolutionizing surrogacy by streamlining the matching process and lowering costs for intended parents. From technology-driven advances to policy-level changes, this conversation highlights the many ways fertility care is evolving and how we can better support patients at every stage of their journey. In this episode, we cover: How AI is being used to improve embryo grading and IVF success The true costs of egg freezing and what patients need to know How Nodal is changing the landscape of surrogacy matching What to expect from recent government efforts to make IVF more accessible Why tech and transparency are reshaping the future of fertility care Get the full show notes and transcript on Dr. Aimee's website Find Dr. Levine at CCRM Fertility of New York Nodal Surrogacy's website Do you have questions about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

We're diving deep into the science of NAD+ - what it is, why it matters for fertility, and how it might help improve egg quality and outcomes for those pursuing IVF or egg freezing. Dr. Ratner, a board certified urologist, brings a wealth of expertise in nutritional supplements and reproductive health, and I've been looking forward to sharing this conversation with you. Throughout our interview, we explore the fascinating roles of NAD+ and sirtuins in ovarian health, discuss the latest research (from mice to humans!), and break down what these findings could mean for anyone hoping to preserve or boost their fertility. We also touch on practical strategies, from supplements to lifestyle changes, and address common questions about safety, effectiveness, and the future of this exciting area of reproductive science. In this episode, we cover: What NAD+ is and why it's crucial for egg health and fertility The role of sirtuins as "master regulators" in our cells and their connection to ovarian reserve How age-related declines in NAD+ and sirtuins impact egg quality Insights from animal and human studies on NAD+ supplementation and fertility outcomes The difference between NAD+ supplements and precursors like nicotinamide riboside Dietary and lifestyle approaches to boosting NAD+ (and why caloric restriction isn't for everyone) The growing awareness among fertility specialists and what's next for research in this field Resources Get OvaNAD+ from Theralogix at their website (use the code EGG for a 15% discount) Join The IVF Class Find Dr. Aimee's Fertility Essentials & Supplements   Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

I'm sharing my vision for the future of fertility care, and why it's time for a major shift in how we support people who are trying to conceive. Fertility struggles affect 1 in 6 couples worldwide, yet far too many people face stigma, delays in diagnosis, and fragmented care. I believe we need a new model, one that puts patients first, embraces technology, and recognizes fertility as a vital part of our overall health. I'll walk you through how I think fertility care can evolve to be more proactive, inclusive, and empowering. From early testing and education to AI-driven support and more human-centered clinics, this episode is all about imagining what's possible, and how we can get there. In this episode, I cover: Why we need a patient-first approach to fertility care The role of early testing and fertility awareness in better outcomes How technology and AI can support personalized treatment What inclusive, stigma-free care looks like My vision for the next generation of fertility clinics Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.
