The Egg Whisperer Show

I'm so excited to have Maya, Jen, and Gina of Em•power with Moxi back for part two of our discussion about embryo donation! Today, we're talking all about becoming a parent through embryo donation.

Maya became a mother through embryo donation, and she is sharing about the emotional shift that comes with choosing to become a parent to a baby that doesn't share your DNA. She also talks about some things to consider when you're deciding if embryo donation is the right choice for you to grow your family. We also talk about genetic counseling, Empower with Moxi's "Moxi Matching" service, and other ways that Empower with Moxi is supporting the community.

The journey of becoming a parent through embryo donation is very special, and I'm so honored to have Maya, Jen, and Gina back to share more about the options, considerations, and beauty of embryo donation.

Thank you for joining me Gina, Jen, and Maya!

In early 2019, Gina, Jen, and Maya came together as mamas on a mission to transform the landscape of embryo donation. Each of them had a different fertility journey that had a connection to embryo donation, and wanted to make embryo donation better understood, more inclusive, and more accessible. And, they wanted to bridge the gap between reproductive medicine and child well being. I'm so excited to have them on the show.

In this episode (which is Part 1 of 2), we're covering donating embryos. Gina and Jen will be talking about options for people who want to donate their embryos, including the psychological considerations, and what patients should know before donating embryos to another family.

In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with my friend and fellow "Aimee," Aimee Raupp -  bestselling author, fertility expert, and licensed acupuncturist who has spent over 20 years helping women around the world improve their fertility using an integrative approach that blends Western science with Eastern wisdom. Aimee has just released an updated edition of her landmark book Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, with modern protocols designed especially for women in their late thirties and forties. She also shares her own deeply personal fertility journey, including conceiving naturally at 40 and navigating a devastating miscarriage at 45.

Together we dig into what's really driving the fertility crisis and it's not just age. We explore why the word "infertile" needs to be retired, how environmental toxins and chronic stress are quietly disrupting reproductive health, and why unexplained infertility is really just an unexplored diagnosis.

We also talk about the powerful role of joy, nervous system regulation, and the latest research showing the ovaries are wired directly to the nervous system. Plus, we discuss cutting-edge options like ovarian PRP rejuvenation and how to create a "no regret plan" for your fertility journey.

In this episode, we cover:
Why fertility rates are declining even among women in their twenties and why it's not just about age
The environmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, and nutrient depletion silently harming reproductive health
Why the labels "infertile" and "unexplained infertility" are harmful and what's usually hiding underneath
The role of inflammation, immune dysregulation, gut health, and metabolic stress in fertility challenges
How joy, pleasure, and nervous system regulation directly influence hormones and egg quality
Practical lifestyle shifts, lab work, and prep protocols for egg freezing and IVF
Ovarian PRP rejuvenation: what the latest research shows and who it may help
