    Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for Fertility hosted by Dr. Lorne Brown of The Conscious Fertility Podcast
    2026/10/02
    I'm thrilled to have joined Dr. Lorne Brown on the Conscious Fertility Podcast to dive deep into the world of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and its potential for women on their fertility journey. As the Egg Whisperer, I shared my passion for patient-centered reproductive care, my TUSHY method for fertility diagnostics, and the importance of leaving no stone unturned when supporting those who want to grow their families. Lorne and I discussed the latest in integrative and holistic approaches, and I had the chance to explain how PRP is being used in my practice to help women who want to try every possible avenue before considering donor eggs. In our conversation, we explored the evolving landscape of fertility treatments, the science and stories behind PRP, and the importance of individualized care. We talked about the challenges of evidence-based medicine in emerging therapies, the nuances of testing and tracking results, and how integrative approaches (combining Western medicine, functional testing, acupuncture, laser therapy, and more) can make a difference. I also shared my experiences, data, and the real-life outcomes I've seen with PRP, as well as my commitment to educating and empowering patients. In this episode, we cover: What PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is and how it's being used for ovarian rejuvenationThe TUSHY method for comprehensive fertility diagnosticsThe importance of individualized, integrative, and holistic fertility careHow PRP is performed, who may benefit, and what results I've seen in my practiceThe current state of research and data on PRP for fertilityHow to set realistic expectations for PRP and other emerging treatmentsThe role of additional therapies like low-level laser therapy, acupuncture, and functional medicine in fertility journeys Resources: Conscious Fertility PodcastConscious Fertility on YouTubeEgg Whisperer School – IVF, egg freezing, and TUSHY method classesPath Fertility (DNA fragmentation testing)Give Legacy (at-home sperm testing) You can find The Conscious Fertility Podcastm hosted by Lorne Brown here.

  • Hormones, Fertility, PMOS, and Diet with guest Melissa Groves Azzaro of Hormonally Yours Podcast

    Hormones, Fertility, PMOS, and Diet with guest Melissa Groves Azzaro of Hormonally Yours Podcast
    2026/10/01

    Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

    Today, I'm excited to be talking all about hormones, fertility, and PCOS (now called PMOS) with dietitian and nutritionist Melissa Groves Azzaro. Melissa is the host of the "Hormonally Yours" podcast, and author of the book "A Balanced Approach to PCOS." Her podcast focuses on science based information about PMOS, fertility, and other hormone imbalances. She works with clients to figure out the root cause of their PMOS symptoms, and creates personalized plans for clients that go way beyond their diet to get them feeling better.

    In this interview, Melissa walks us through some diet options that help balance blood sugar and hormones, which can help with PMOS symptoms.
    She uses the acronym PFF (protein, fat, and fiber), and I can't wait for you to hear her explain it!

    We're going to be talking about the role a stressful lifestyle may play in infertility and PMOS, how diet impacts PMOS, and how you can make simple changes to improve your health and fertility outcomes.

    Tune in to hear Dr. Aimee on Melissa's podcast.

  • The 2WW: When Does Implantation Occur?

    The 2WW: When Does Implantation Occur?
    2026/09/25

    Discover all the answers to some of the most common questions you may have about your menstrual cycle, hormones in your menstrual cycle, ovulation, implantation, and the 2ww (two week wait).

    If you are trying to get pregnant, you may have heard the term—two week wait, the often nervous time of waiting between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test. For many, this is a dreaded time because it's hard to know exactly what is happening. But by learning more about your cycle, you can have more knowledge about what might happen.

    The implantation window is during the two week wait. Since progesterone is the hormone responsible for supporting implantation, it must be present during the entire implantation window. You can track your progesterone during this window by tracking PdG, progesterone in urine.

    Proov has unique testing capabilities to test PdG during the implantation window to confirm successful ovulation.

    Studies show PdG levels are incredibly important for implantation and pregnancy success, for example, women with high PdG during the implantation window were 75% more likely to get pregnant. In contrast, women with low PdG had a miscarriage rate of 90%.

  • Trying to Conceive? What Parents-to-Be Need to Know About Parkinson's and Environmental Toxins with Dr. Ray Dorsey of The Parkinson's Plan

    Trying to Conceive? What Parents-to-Be Need to Know About Parkinson's and Environmental Toxins with Dr. Ray Dorsey of The Parkinson's Plan
    2026/09/24
    In this episode, I'm honored to welcome Dr. Ray Dorsey, a renowned neurologist, researcher, and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Parkinson's Plan. Together, we dive into the critical topic of Parkinson's Disease, now the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world, and explore how environmental toxins (rather than aging or genetics), are fueling its rise. Dr. Dorsey shares his expertise on how exposures, even as early as in utero, can increase the risk of Parkinson's and other serious conditions, and offers practical steps families can take to protect themselves and future generations. Throughout our conversation, we discuss the broader themes of environmental health, fertility, and advocacy. We explore the science behind how early-life exposures can plant the seeds for neurodegenerative diseases, the importance of shifting our understanding from genetics to environment, and the actionable ways we can reduce risk. Dr. Dorsey also introduces the "Parkinson's 25" - a set of practical recommendations for families, and shares inspiring stories of advocacy and change. In this episode, we cover: 💙Why Parkinson's Disease is rising and the role of environmental toxins 💙The impact of early-life and in utero exposures on long-term neurological health 💙The difference between genetic and environmental risk factors for Parkinson's 💙How pesticides, air pollution, and chemicals like trichloroethylene affect fertility and brain health 💙The "Parkinson's 25" steps for reducing risk and protecting your family 💙Advocacy success stories, including the Healthy Schools Act and organic golf courses 💙Practical tips for improving indoor air quality and minimizing everyday exposures Resources: The Parkinson's Plan book: https://amzn.to/46V7BZu The Parkinson's Plan website: pdplan.org Contact Dr. Dorsey: info@pdplan.org Healthy Schools Act (California): https://www.cdpr.ca.gov/cac-letter/written-policy-clarifying-state-and-county-roles-in-enforcing-provisions-of-the-healthy-schools-act-assembly-bill-2260/ Countdown by Shanna Swan (on fertility and environmental toxins): https://amzn.to/4nSniGR National Plan to End Parkinson's Act: https://www.ninds.nih.gov/current-research/trans-agency-activities/national-plan-end-parkinsons Do you have questions about IVF?

  • Does EmbryoGlue Really Improve IVF Success? New ESHRE Research Challenges a Popular IVF Add-On

    Does EmbryoGlue Really Improve IVF Success? New ESHRE Research Challenges a Popular IVF Add-On
    2026/09/23

    Embryo Glue is one of the most talked-about IVF add-ons. Does it actually lives up to the hype?

    I invited Dr. Nirvika Singh Sharma, associate lab director at Ovation Fertility San Antonio, to share what her new research found about embryo glue.

    Dr. Sharma is a physician, reproductive scientist, and embryologist who recently led a major study presented at ESHRE examining whether EmbryoGlue, a high-concentration hyaluronan transfer medium, actually improves outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles. We dig into what embryo glue really is, what her research found across 593 euploid FET cycles, and what patients should know before paying extra for this popular IVF add-on.

    Read the full show notes.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • What EmbryoGlue actually is
    • How hyaluronan works in the reproductive tract and whether more of it helps implantation
    • Dr. Sharma's study design: 593 single euploid frozen embryo transfers across four medium combinations
    • The results: pregnancy rates were 63–67% regardless of whether EmbryoGlue or standard media was used
    • The difference between proven effective and possible benefit in IVF add-ons
    • What actually drives implantation: embryo quality, ploidy, and the embryo-endometrium conversation
