Dr. Camran Nezhat is world renowned for his work in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and he specializes in treating people with endometriosis. He is best known for inventing video-assisted endoscopy and was the first to perform groundbreaking advances in minimally invasive surgical procedures that have helped millions of patients around the globe.

Without his contributions, we would not have video-assisted laparoscopy as we know it. To say that it's an honor to have him on the show is an understatement! In 2020, Dr. Nezhat was chosen by the AMA as an exceptional innovator whose contributions have revolutionized modern day surgery, and for that work he received the Distinguished Service Award for meritorious service in the science and art of medicine.

He's joining me today to talk about endometriosis, its treatment, and the role that minimally invasive surgery plays in assisting patients.

This episode is all about how to survive your HSG. Otherwise known as a hysterosalpingogram. That's a big scary word so let's break it down!

Hystero = uterus
Salpingo = tube
Gram = picture of

Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is basically a picture of your fallopian tubes.

I like to think of the fallopian tube as the embryo transport system. It's where the egg and sperm come together and it's how the embryo will travel to the uterus. Part of fertility screening is not just for FSH, estradiol, and AMH for women. It's not just to see how fast the swimmers are swimming. It's also important to make sure that the fallopian tubes are open! It's the "T" in the tushymethod.com

In today's episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm talking more about HSG.

Wondering how hormone health, environmental toxins, and ovulation timing affect your chances of getting pregnant? In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, we explore the real-life challenges of unexplained infertility, secondary infertility, preconception testing, and the simple mistakes that can make it harder to conceive, along with practical, evidence-based advice you can use right away (like The TUSHY Method).

I'm joined by Sara Jensen, co-founder and Co-CEO of Hugh &Grace @hughgrace5494 for an honest conversation about fertility, hormones, and hope.

In this episode, we cover:
- The "TUSHY check" - the essential pre-pregnancy tests every couple should do
- Why you can't judge your fertility "by a selfie" and what actually needs to be checked
- Secondary infertility and the golden rule for couples who want more than one child

"Dr. Aimee, how soon will I be able to get pregnant?"

This is the most common question I get from my patients. I get it. By the time you come to see me you've been preparing for pregnancy for a year, three, sometimes longer. I appreciate how emotional and tiring it can be to have a dream to start a family and encounter roadblocks to making it a reality. It's one of the reasons I do what I do as I love helping people create the family of their dreams.

Getting pregnant isn't easy for a lot of people. In this episode, Dr. Aimee shares her approach to IVF, and how to use science to get pregnant. Learn about the TUSHY Method, and the Fertility Diet, and how to build your own mind body team in this episode.

PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and it was recently renamed to PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome).

With the old name, many people interpretted it to mean you have big cysts on your ovaries, but that's not true at all. When I heard PCOS, I think of it as a call to, "Please 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. Today on the podcast, I'm talking about 5 novel treatments for PCOS.

Rapamycin is changing what's possible in fertility treatment, and in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how. Originally discovered in the soil of Easter Island and long used by the longevity community to extend healthspan, rapamycin is now showing real promise for improving egg quality, increasing blastocyst formation rates, and helping women over 40 (even over 45) get pregnant.

Joining me is Dr. Steve Palter, founder and medical and scientific director of Gold Coast IVF in Woodbury, New York.

We cover the science of how it works at the cellular level, the landmark placebo-controlled trial out of China that gave us published data for the first time, my own case series accepted to PCRS, and how I'm now using Rapamycin for egg freezing patients, not just last-resort IVF cases. We also get discuss the Vibrant Trial on ovarian aging, dosing protocols, and why resistance training and protein intake matter for fertility and longevity.

In this episode, we cover:
• What rapamycin is, where it comes from, and why it's become the darling of the longevity world
• How rapamycin may improve egg quality by regulating protein synthesis and cellular repair in aging ovarian cells
• The landmark placebo-controlled trial out of China showing significantly higher pregnancy rates in poor-prognosis patients
• My own case series (including patients over 45 getting pregnant) accepted to PCRS
• Who is (and isn't) a good candidate, and how to have that conversation with your doctor
• Why dosing protocols are still evolving and what current regimens look like
• The underrated role of resistance training and protein intake for fertility, PCOS, and longevity

In this episode hosted by Anne Matthews, a fertility-focused acupuncturist from Energy Tree in Toronto, Canada, Anne discusses fertility issues with Dr. Aimee. Anne reveals how she became a fan of Dr. Aimee's holistic and patient-centric approach rooted in the TUSHY method, which stands for Testing: Tubes, Uterus, Sperm, Hormones, and Your genetics.

They delve into the inadequacies of common fertility treatments, the importance of comprehensive diagnostic tests, and the role of acupuncture. They also discuss the implications of factors such as polyps, DNA fragmentation in sperm, and the significance of quality embryo grading. Dr. Aimee emphasizes the importance of personalized patient care, thorough diagnoses, and being emotionally and physically prepared for pregnancy, reflecting on her own motivations for specializing in fertility treatments.

The conversation also covers the roles of psychological support, supplementation, and the evolving landscape of egg freezing and IVF.
