Mar 4, 2026

In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by Dr. Steven Palter, founder and medical director of Gold Coast IVF, to explore what happens when fertility care goes beyond quick fixes and becomes true detective work.
Dr. Palter is internationally recognized for his innovative Palter Fertility Method - a systematic, personalized approach that treats infertility as a multilevel disease rather than a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. We discuss how metabolic health, emerging technologies, and surgical precision are transforming outcomes for patients who've been told they're out of options.
Read the full show notes on my website.
In this episode, we cover:
- The Palter Fertility Method: diagnostic deep dives, success maps, and the "success spiral" approach to personalized fertility care
- How insulin resistance drives PCOS and why treating it like "diabetes of the ovary" can reverse infertility
- The PCOS to Pregnancy Protocol: using continuous glucose monitors, metabolic coaching, and low-carb interventions to restore ovulation
- PGT-P (preimplantation genetic testing for polygenic conditions): what it is, how it works, and the ethics of screening embryos for complex diseases like autism, Alzheimer's, and diabetes
- Rapamycin therapy for egg quality: the science behind this longevity drug and why it's showing remarkable results in women over 40
- Advanced imaging and surgical techniques that uncover hidden causes of infertility like endometriosis, fibroids, and uterine abnormalities
- The importance of resistance training, zone-two exercise, and metabolic health for fertility and longevity
