233: In this episode, we take a deep dive into fertility, focusing on egg freezing and IVF. I’m joined by Dr. Sasha Hakman, a board-certified OBGYN and reproductive endocrinologist at HRC Fertility, to break down the entire process. As someone who froze my eggs at 36, I wanted to understand what comes next and what factors impact fertility, from hormone treatments to lifestyle choices.  We discuss everything from the science behind egg retrieval to the role of environmental toxins and how lifestyle changes can improve reproductive health. Whether you’re considering egg freezing, going through IVF, or just want to learn more, this episode is packed with expert insights and actionable information.  Topics Discussed:  Egg freezing vs. embryo freezing  The egg retrieval and IVF process  The impact of pesticides and endocrine disruptors on fertility    Rising infertility rates and potential causes  The connection between PCOS, insulin sensitivity, and fertility  Synthetic hormones and their effects  How age influences fertility outcomes  Sponsored By:BirchGo to Birchliving.com/realfoodology for 20% Off Sitewide + 2 Free Eco-Rest Pillows with Mattress Purchase. TimelineTimeline is offering 10% off your order of Mitopure.
