In today's episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox steps in solo to share something close to her heart — the charitable organization behind the work, and why it exists.

As part of the international Podcastathon (March 14–20), podcasters worldwide are spotlighting the causes they champion. For Health Youniversity, that means shining a light on the Health Youniversity Group — a 509(a)(2) public charity dedicated to making the Preconception Plan Course accessible to the people who need it but may have financial constraints.

Dr. Susan walks through what the course actually is: a 120-day, phase-by-phase program built around the menstrual cycle, covering nutrition and hydration, circulation through Qigong, a targeted stimulation technique called TEAS that has been shown to improve live birth rates by 42% in women over 35, sleep and lifestyle support, stress resilience through guided imagery with binaural beats, and one-on-one coaching with Dr. Susan herself.

She also speaks to something important: the false divide that's grown between integrative reproductive medicine and conventional IVF — and why the most powerful approach isn't either/or. It's both.

You'll learn why the Preconception Plan Course is built around 120 days — and what folliculogenesis actually means for your fertility outcomes, what TEAS is and why meta-analyses on over 2,000 women show a 42% improvement in live birth rates for women over 35 doing frozen embryo transfer, how this program works alongside any fertility cycle — not instead of it, what the Health Youniversity Group charity is and how to donate or apply for a scholarship, and why Dr. Susan is calling for an end to the competition between integrative medicine and IVF.

This episode is for you if you're navigating fertility challenges and want to understand what a whole-health preconception approach looks like in practice, you've been told IVF is your only option and want to know what you can do alongside it, you're looking for a program you can follow at home on your own schedule without adding more appointments, you want to help fund access to fertility support for someone who can't afford it, or someone you love is on this journey and you're looking for a way to support them.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we explore something that doesn't get nearly enough attention on the fertility journey: the kind of support that holds you together while medicine does its work.

Dr. Susan sits down with Jess Tims — certified fertility doula, Reiki master, and founder of Her Fertility Support — whose path to this work came through her own two-year experience with unexplained infertility. What she couldn't find then, she's now dedicated to creating for others.

You'll learn what a fertility doula actually is (and how it's different from a fertility coach or therapist), why the research Jess presented at the American Society of Reproductive Medicine confirms that feeling supported genuinely improves outcomes, how to find a certified doula in an unregulated field, what the internal dialogue of "I'm broken" does to the body (and how to interrupt it), and how support comes in many forms: 1:1, group, or fully self-guided.

This conversation is for you if you're navigating IVF or preparing for it, if you've experienced pregnancy loss and need a safe place to process it, you're a high-performing woman who needs to show up in the world and go through fertility treatments, or if you simply want to understand the difference between fertility coaches, doulas, and therapists.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we talk about something so fundamental we rarely stop to question it — the water we drink every single day, and what it might actually contain.

Dr. Susan sits down with Cydian Kauffman — owner of Pure Water Northwest and a water quality specialist on a mission to cut through the hype and give people real, science-backed answers. From forever chemicals to microplastics to reverse osmosis, Cydian demystifies what's actually in our water, what it means for our fertility and hormonal health, and what we can do about it without spending a fortune.

You'll learn why municipal tap water is treated to a cost standard — not a health standard, what PFAS (forever chemicals) are and why they matter at levels as small as a single drop in a lake, how bottled water in plastic may actually be worse than your tap, why reverse osmosis is the closest thing to a magic bullet — and how to get one for as little as $200, what structured water and hydrogen water actually are (and which one is a fad), how to look up your own tap water report right now, and why if you're on well water, you need a full-spectrum test — not just the standard one.

This conversation is for you if you've been drinking bottled water thinking it's the healthier choice, you're navigating fertility or pregnancy and want to understand your environmental exposures, you've heard about PFAS or microplastics and want to know what's actually true, you're on well water and haven't tested it in years (or ever), or you're ready to do something about your water but don't know where to start.
