Exploring Fertility with Dr. D: Supplements, Genetics, and Implantation Challenges
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
I'm so excited to share this special episode of "FertiliTEA with Dr. D," where I had the honor of joining my dear friend and colleague, Dr. D, to talk all things fertility. As the Egg Whisperer, I'm passionate about helping people on their journey to parenthood, and it was a joy to connect with Dr. D: someone who shares my dedication and obsession for supporting patients through every step of their fertility journey. Together, we dove into the science, the stories, and the hope that drives us both in this field.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why "perfect" embryos don't always lead to pregnancy, and what factors might be at play
- The latest thinking on supplements for egg and sperm quality, including CoQ10, NAD, and rapamycin
- How genetics, epigenetics, and the uterine environment impact implantation and pregnancy
- The importance of personalized fertility care, including testing for endometriosis, endometritis, and the uterine microbiome
- The role of weight, nutrition, and GLP-1 medications in fertility and pregnancy outcomes
- Advances in sperm DNA fragmentation testing and embryo selection
- The emotional, spiritual, and practical realities of fertility treatment, including the option of gestational carriers
