| 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 | 22 Oct 2025 | 00:39:34 | |
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?

| I'm 41 and a carrier for a genetic disorder. Should I do another round of IVF now, or wait until after a healthy pregnancy with our one good embryo? (Ask the Egg Whisperer) | 19 Dec 2021 | 00:29:49 | |
Recently, Elizabeth shared a question on AskTheEggWhisperer.com. She is 41, and she and her husband are carriers of a recessive disorder that results in severe physical and mental disability. Here's what she says, "I'm 41 AMH 0.95. We had a little girl naturally when I was. 40, but she didn't survive. We have a 25% chance of recurrence to screen for the disorder. We did our first round of IVF and we got results back today out of seven eggs, five fertilized, three made it to blast. We have one normal that is not affected. There was another normal blast, but it was affected, and there was one with abnormal chromosomes. We're so happy to have a good one to use. We might want two children though. I have two more rounds covered by insurance, but they can't be used for embryo banking. Should I wait until after a healthy pregnancy with our good one to do IVF again? Or should we do another round now?" You can tune in to hear my answer, and listen to the answers to other listener questions.

| I have hypothalamic amenorrhea, and I've had two egg retrievals, with poor fertilization. What do you recommend? (Ask the Egg Whisperer) | 18 Dec 2021 | 00:28:38 | |
Recently, Tracy shared a question on AskTheEggWhisperer.com. She is 29, and her husband is 39. Here's what she says, "I have hypothalamic amenorrhea. I've had two egg retrievals. The first egg retrieval, three fertilized after seven retrieved, one blast tested abnormally. The second retrieval, we added an Omnitrope and dexamethazone during stimulation. ICSI and calcium solution to the eggs. Five retrieved, one fertilize, one blast, and it was normal. I eat very well, I take supplements, I meditate, and I am doing acupuncture. Any ideas on why have such poor fertilization? Do you think I have poor quality eggs, or is that the protocol that's hurting them? Should we be testing my husband's sperm further? What would you do for my next cycle? Thank you for being such a guiding light." You can tune in to hear my answer, and listen to the answers to other listener questions.

| I have silent endometriosis. What do I need to do to have a successful IVF cycle? (Ask The Egg Whisperer) | 12 Dec 2021 | 00:38:54 | |
Recently, Rita sent a question in to Ask the Egg Whisperer. She is 30 and lives in Boston. Here's what she has to say, "I recently found out I have silent endometriosis, and had surgery for it. I'm now experiencing worse and more aggressive endometriosis. I've switched fertility doctors to one who specializes in excision surgery and fertility, and his recommendations was to do one cycle of fast-track IVF and bank as many embryos as possible. What is fast track IVF, opposed to regular IVF? He did not put me on an "endo friendly" protocol. Do you get fewer eggs with an endo friendly protocol? My dream is to be a mom of five. My AMH is 4, FSA is 7. I've been taking CoQ10, 0 fish oil, vitamin D, NAC, and I just started melatonin. Is there anything else you can recommend?"

| I have been deemed a poor responder. Should I change doctors, or advocate for a different protocol? (Ask The Egg Whisperer) | 11 Dec 2021 | 00:30:12 | |
Recently, Kelly sent a question in to Ask the Egg Whisperer. She is 31 and lives in California. Here's what she has to say, "I'm in the middle of an IVF cycle and I was deemed a poor responder. My AMH is 3.1. My follicle count was 27 at baseline. I only had nine follicles that were responding on day eight. I was told is due to my BMI, but I feel like the protocol just wasn't aggressive enough. I'm thinking of canceling and advocating for a new protocol. What would you suggest for me? I want three to four children and our diagnosis is male factor infertility. My husband is 38, and has 2% morphology. I have one blocked tube and was told it's scar tissue, but it's not in hydrosalpinx. I love the show and I have learned so much."

| I am 38, and on my fifth IVF cycle. I have 2 PGS normal embryos. What should I consider before transfer? (Ask The Egg Whisperer) | 28 Nov 2021 | 00:18:04 | |
Recently, Amy sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here is her question, "We just finished our fifth IVF cycle and we finally have two PGS normal embryos. I am in shock. We're preparing for a December transfer. I had two transfers in the past. The first one resulted in my son in 2017. And unfortunately the second one resulted in a miscarriage at eight weeks. My new fertility doctor wants to stick with the same protocol, since both of my two transfers were technically successful. I just turned 38 and I do have mild endometriosis. I had a surgery in 2013 to confirm that, so this makes me nervous. Should I continue with the same protocol? Is there anything else I should do before transfer?"

Recently, Kristin wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She's 39, and she's undergoing her first IVF cycle. Here's what she asked, "I am currently preparing my uterine lining for transfer. After two weeks of taking Estrace two pills, three times daily, my uterine lining only measured 4.8 millimeters. My doctor increased my estrogen by prescribing patches. (Two patches that are replaced every other day). After one week of using the patches and pills, my lining increased to 5.5 millimeters. My doctor wants me to continue on this protocol for another week and see what kind of progress we make. What causes it then uterine lining. What thickness do you recommend for transfer?

| Fertility Support: Everything You Need to Know for Yourself and Others | 25 Nov 2021 | 00:19:43 | |
The last year has been especially challenging for those in fertility treatment. This episode is all about how to care for yourself, and includes loving tips on how family and friends can support someone in fertility treatment, too. Self-care is anything but selfish. It can come in the form of setting healthy boundaries in relationships, having clear communication or simply giving ourselves a break. As a fertility patient when we prioritize these things it helps us bring forward our best selves for every situation and makes the journey more supportive. In this Egg Whisperer show, I share suggestions for patients and friends and family members of patients to help their fertility journey be one where they feel supported and loved. My hope is that you're able to apply this, no matter your situation, and find your fertility journey is better as a result.

We have done an IUI cycle last month, and it was unsuccessful, and we are trying IUI for the second time with clomid and obedril shot as the last time.

| Nuts and Bolts of IVF | 18 Nov 2021 | 00:43:48 | |
IVF is a process that involves creating an embryo in a lab. To help explain the process of creating those embryos, I'm joined today by embryologist, Salu Ribeiro. We're are talking about what happens in the lab, after eggs have been retrieved, what makes a "golden egg," and how fertilization works. We'll explain some of the terms you may hear when you're doing IVF: ICSI (which is Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and PICSI (which is physiological ICSI, where sperm are first chosen for ICSI). And, we talk about how embryos grow, and what an embryologist looks for in eggs, sperm, and embryos. I love talking to Salu about embryos, and this conversation is a lot of fun!

| 5 Novel Treatments for PCOS | 12 Jun 2025 | 00:16:36 | |
PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome. Many people interpret it to mean you have big cysts on your ovaries, but that's not true at all. When I hear PCOS I think of it as a call to, &ldquoPlease Confirm this Ovary Syndrome". So much is misunderstood about PCOS! Women are often told, "oh you don't need to worry about it until you're ready to have babies." That could not be further from the truth.

| What tests should I consider to determine if I have adenomyosis or endometriosis? (Ask The Egg Whisperer) | 07 Nov 2021 | 00:15:12 | |
Cheryl sent in a great question to Ask The Egg Whisperer. She is 39. Here's what she asked, "Thank you for your show, Dr. Aimee. I had two IVF cycles, but my egg maturation rate is very low (54%, 10%). My AHM level is 0.67. My doctor did not find any signs of endometriosis, but some signs of adenomyosis. I saw there are four potential reasons for low maturation rates: 1) my age; 2) wrong IVF stimulation protocol; 3) endometriosis; 4) reproductive autoimmune failure. Are there any tests that I can do to figure this out?"

| I have chronic endometritis. How can I improve my chances for embryo implantation? (Ask The Egg Whisperer) | 06 Nov 2021 | 00:25:25 | |
Recently, Eliza sent a question in to Ask The Egg Whisperer. Here's what she asked, "I have chronic endometritis, and I am finding very little on what the correct treatment process looks like. I'm already on a 2nd repeat course of antibiotics after 2nd biopsy still came back positive for CD 138 stromal cells. My MD is suggesting to go straight into a transfer after second round of antibiotics without an additional biopsy. I'm afraid I may have an antibiotic resistant form and am wondering if you ever perform endometrial scarring or D&C to treat it? Would you recommend to have a confirmation that the endometritis is gone before implanting? Also I am already on depot lupron 2nd month for endometriosis. Is it a concern that I will not get a period that would shed the bad cells somehow before a transfer? Would love your input on how you deal with resistant endometritis and implantation outcomes."

I got pregnant out of the blue in 2017 but it ended up being a blighted embryo. I have uterine didelphys (double uterus) with a complete septum and two cervixes.

| When is it Time to See a Fertility Expert? | 11 Jun 2025 | 00:28:40 | |
If you're eager to get pregnant and are wondering if it's time to see a fertility specialist, you might be right. There are a number of factors to take into account when deciding whether it's time to see a fertility specialist. Of course there are a lot more details about each of these items in the podcast episode today, but here is a sneak peek of the 6 reason that may be telling you it's time to see a fertility expert: 1. If you're over 35: schedule an appointment if you've been trying for 6 months. 2. If you're over 37: consider seeing a fertility specialist (and not wait before seeking professional advice) to get your TUSHY checked. 3. If you have irregular cycles, make an appointment to see what may be causing that irregularity.. 4. Painful periods. If you think your periods are more painful than average, or you are worried about the pain you're experiencing, you may suffer from endometriosis, which can make it more difficult to get pregnant. A fertility expert can help with a diagnosis and treatment.. 5. Heavy bleeding. If your periods seem especially heavy, this may be a sign that there is something blocking your ability to get pregnant. 6. Male factor or sperm issues. It takes an egg and a sperm to make a baby so if your male partner or sperm donor has a chronic medical problems, is drinking, smoking or partaking in drugs, or is overweight, a fertility specialist can help determine if that is playing a role.

I got pregnant again after the miscarriage and this pregnancy resulted in also a miscarriage at 12 weeks of pregnancy. I'm RH negative, and had the RhoGAM after both losses. I'm booked for fertility appointment about a month. I've made lots of lifestyle changes, avoiding BP, and now eating a plant-based diet. What would you recommend as next steps for me as far as supplements and are there any other tests that you would recommend?" Tune in to hear the answer to this question, and others.

| How many vials of sperm do you need for IVF cycle? (Ask The Egg Whisperer) | 23 Oct 2021 | 00:20:36 | |
In this episode, Dr. Aimee is joined by Dr. John Norian. Recently, Emma wrote in to Ask The Egg Whisperer a question from Wisconsin. Here's what she had to say, "I'm 33. My husband had treatment for a brain tumor four years ago, and his sperm did not come back. Luckily before his treatment, he froze 16 vials of unwashed sperm in the UK (England), where we're from. We had it shipped to Wisconsin, where we live now. We've tried IUI and have not been successful. We're now doing IVF with only five vials left. My question is how many vials do you need for one IVF? How will we know if this sperm is sparkling without losing a vial for testing? My AMH is 1.6. My FSH is 7.3. We want two kids. I wish we had better information about IUI success and had not used so many of our frozen vials on IUI. Now we have only five vials left. How do we make the best chance of achieving our family dreams?" Tune in to hear the answer to this question, and others.
