12/16/20 • 32 min

In this fertility episode, I chat with Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and host of the Egg Whisperer Show, Dr. Aimee has heard story after story from women and couples from all over the world about their struggles in trying to conceive. In her attempt to prevent more of these heartbreaking stories, she has gone on a mission to promote “fertility awareness”. Her hope is to empower women, making them more aware of their personal fertility levels and allowing them to be better educated about their options. Never again does she want to hear “If I had known 10 years ago that my egg reserves were running low, I would have done things differently”.

In 2014, she launched her mission by hosting “Egg Freezing Parties”. These parties offer women a chance to learn more about their fertility and ask their questions in a comfortable, safe environment with like-minded women.

Dr. Aimee is a native of the Bay Area, and a graduate of UCLA School of Medicine. After completing her residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, she completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility at University of Michigan. She also completed a Masters in Public Health in Health Management and Policy at University of Michigan. Her practice is located in San Ramon, California.

In this episode, Dr. Aimee will also discuss:

  • The Egg Whisperer Fertility Awareness Panel
  • Her methods: TUSHY, BALLS, TEAM and DIET
  • Her Fertility Awareness class

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Karen Tang, a board-certified gynecologist, minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon, and the creator behind the popular @KarenTangMD on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Through her educational and engaging content, Dr. Tang has built a global platform to spread essential information about reproductive and sexual health.

In this episode, we celebrate the release of her new book, IT'S NOT HYSTERIA: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH (BUT WERE NEVER TOLD). With her book, Dr. Tang aims to dispel myths surrounding women's health, tackling topics like menstrual issues, pelvic pain, and menopause. Her mission is clear: women should not suffer in silence, and there are actionable steps to take for better care.

In this episode, Dr. Tang discusses:

  • Women don't have to just 'deal with' reproductive health issues; there are treatments and resources available to help
  • Advocating for oneself is crucial in reproductive health care; ask questions, seek second opinions, and find a doctor who listens and includes you in the decision-making process
  • Women have the power to make a difference in their own health and the health of their communities; use your voice and influence to educate and advocate for change
In addition to being a recognized expert featured by NBC News, The Washington Post, NPR, and more, Dr. Tang is also a long-time friend of mine. Join us as we dive into her book, discuss the importance of self-advocacy in health care, and share practical tips on how to empower yourself and your community when it comes to reproductive health.
