Responding to Life: Talking Health, Fertility and Parenthood

On today’s fertility episode, I am joined by Afton Vechery. Afton is on a mission to integrate the growing and buzzy fertility sector more broadly into women’s culture and mainstream wellness.

Her company, Modern Fertility, offers an at-home hormone test—the same one given in fertility clinics, but for a fraction of the price. It’s designed to get women to think more proactively and earlier about their reproductive health.

The company recently expanded into ovulation and pregnancy tests and launched an app that helps read and track test results.

Afton co-founded the company in 2017. Afton herself was featured on Forbes 30 under 30, and just recently Fortune 40 Under 40 list as well.

• Egg freezing
• How to use the Modern Fertility test

In this wellness and fertility episode, I am joined by a fellow University of Chicago alum and friend, Dr. Linda Kim, who is the founder and CEO of LuvLuk. Linda is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist with many years of clinical and leadership experience. She became passionate about how to offer mental health care tailored to address the unique challenges that women need support with – finding emotional wellness, taking care of their families, struggling with infertility or perinatal issues, engaging their passions, and achieving their professional goals, all at the same time! As a mother of 3 daughters, she shared many of the same challenges that her patients faced and wants to share her learnings, both personal and professional to others via the services offered by her company. LuvLuk offers telepsychiatry and virtual therapy for the modern woman and strives to be seamlessly incorporated into her life.

Specifically, in this episode we discuss: – The difference and intersection of therapy and coaching – How Linda empowers and arms her female patients with the knowledge to care for their emotional well-being – The Luv-Luk Method for Infertility
