In this urgent and timely episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Barb Collura, founder of Vital Voices Consulting and former President/CEO of RESOLVE (2007-2025), for a critical conversation about the current state of IVF policy and advocacy.

Barbara reveals the behind-the-scenes forces shaping fertility policy in America—from the Alabama Supreme Court decision to the rise of "restorative reproductive medicine" as a political strategy, to recent White House announcements about medication discounts and employer benefits.

Discover why the 84% medication discount may not be what it seems, what "supplemental benefits" really mean for employees, and why well-funded organizations opposing IVF are gaining ground while the fertility community is playing defense.

This episode is a Call To Action: If you're not at the table, you're on the menu. The status quo is unacceptable. Your voice matters. And now—more than ever—is the time to advocate.

Learn how patients, providers, and companies can get involved, what resources are available through RESOLVE, and why this moment demands we be louder than ever before.

In this episode of Health University, Dr. Susan Fox interviews Daniel Bayen, an open intentional sperm donor and founder of the Sperm Donor Association. Daniel was himself born through open donor conception and is raising awareness about ethical, transparent donation as an alternative to traditional sperm banks.

Discover why open donors prioritize the wellbeing of future children above all else, how donors and recipients are carefully matched for compatibility, and the rigorous health and genetic screening required of Sperm Donor Association members.

Learn about the growing demand for known donors among lesbian couples, single mothers by choice, and families with infertile partners—and why transparency, honesty, and ethical standards matter more than compensation.

This episode advocates for informed choice, genetic awareness, and the human connection that comes with knowing your child's biological heritage.

Daniel Bayen is a donor-conceived advocate and ethical sperm donor dedicated to redefining modern family building through openness and integrity. As the founder of the Sperm Donor Association, he guides donors and recipients with education, health-conscious standards, and a child-first approach that prioritizes transparency, safety, and long-term well-being.
