    2025/10/17
    Whitney Bischoff Angel is joining me on The Egg Whisperer Show, and we’re talking all about Egg Freezing. Whitney is a fertility nurse and patient advocate at OVA Egg Freezing Specialty Center, specializing in fertility preservation for women.

    Whitney made the personal decision to freeze her own eggs in 2013, which she credits for making her an even stronger fertility nurse. In 2015, Whitney joined ABC’s The Bachelor, and since then she has used her platform to promote egg freezing, educating women around the world to be proactive versus reactive when it comes to their reproductive health. She's appeared on ABC’s Nightline, Good Morning America, Extra TV, People Magazine, Women's Health magazine and many other publications.

    Today we’re covering 8 great reasons to freeze your eggs. These include helping your future self, how freezing eggs can be an insurance policy, the genetic reasons you may want to freeze your eggs, and why you might want to freeze your eggs even if you aren’t sure if you want to have children or haven’t found the right partner. I hope you’ll tune in as we walk through all eight reasons.

    Thank you for joining me, Whitney!

  • 9 Things That Increase Your Risk of Infertility

    9 Things That Increase Your Risk of Infertility
    2025/10/14
    If you know me, you know that I hate the word infertility. I believe that everyone who walks through my doors is fertile and no matter what we learn, can be a parent.

    Fertility is often taken for granted. It’s precious. It declines over time, and there are some well studied factors, nine that I highlight here, that put it at risk. They are:

    1. Your DNA
    2. Unhealthy BMI
    3. Abnormal Sleep Patterns
    4. Fibroids
    5. Endometriosis
    6. Blocked Fallopian Tubes
    7. Abnormal Semen Parameters
    8. Autoimmune Diseases
    9. Reproductive Toxins
    Want to hear more about each of them? Tune in to today’s podcast episode.

    Hereditary Cancer Screening And Your Fertility Journey with Natalie Richeimer of JScreen
    2025/10/13
    Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

    Dr. Aimee invites board-certified genetic counselor Natalie Richeimer to discuss the crucial intersection of genetic counseling, IVF, and cancer. Natalie explains the role of genetic counselors in the fertility space, particularly how they assist patients in understanding their risk for genetic conditions stemming from family history, personal health, or ethnicity.

    Dr. Aimee and Natalie talk about the important work done by JScreen, an organization providing accessible genetic testing for cancer and carrier screening. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding whether cancer is hereditary or sporadic, the implications of genetic predispositions, and how early genetic testing can impact fertility planning and treatment options.

    Natalie shares insights on the different types of genetic tests available, including those for embryos, and emphasizes the evolving nature and expanding role of genetic testing in family planning. They also discuss common misconceptions about genetic testing, especially among patients with a family history of cancer, and offer practical advice on how to access genetic counseling and testing through JScreen.

  • Becoming A Changemaker on Your Fertility Journey with guest Alex Budak

    Becoming A Changemaker on Your Fertility Journey with guest Alex Budak
    2025/10/09
    Read the full show notes at Dr. Aimee's website.

    Alex Budak is an author and faculty member at Berkeley Haas School of Business. He recently wrote a book called "Becoming a Changemaker." If there is anything I know about fertility patients it's that you all know a lot about being on a journey that often involves embracing change. You become more resilient, and you follow a "growth" mindset. You cling to hope and you let it lead the way forward. It's no surprise that I would have a social entrepreneur and changemaker on the show. You have a lot in common with what Alex teaches and writes about: "Developing a changemaker mindset often requires holding two seemingly contradictory traits simultaneously: Having a strong personal vision yet being open to collaborating with others. Employing drive and determination to push through barrier after barrier yet knowing when to step back and recharge." Today we're talking about how to become a Changemaker on your fertility journey. Here are three traits he believes a changemaker has: 1. There's always another way
    2. Existing at the edges
    3. Learned Hopefulness / Learned Optimism
