The Egg Whisperer Show

In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with my friend and fellow "Aimee," Aimee Raupp - bestselling author, fertility expert, and licensed acupuncturist who has spent over 20 years helping women around the world improve their fertility using an integrative approach that blends Western science with Eastern wisdom. Aimee has just released an updated edition of her landmark book Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, with modern protocols designed especially for women in their late thirties and forties. She also shares her own deeply personal fertility journey, including conceiving naturally at 40 and navigating a devastating miscarriage at 45. Together we dig into what's really driving the fertility crisis and it's not just age. We explore why the word "infertile" needs to be retired, how environmental toxins and chronic stress are quietly disrupting reproductive health, and why unexplained infertility is really just an unexplored diagnosis. We also talk about the powerful role of joy, nervous system regulation, and the latest research showing the ovaries are wired directly to the nervous system. Plus, we discuss cutting-edge options like ovarian PRP rejuvenation and how to create a "no regret plan" for your fertility journey. In this episode, we cover: Why fertility rates are declining even among women in their twenties and why it's not just about age The environmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, and nutrient depletion silently harming reproductive health Why the labels "infertile" and "unexplained infertility" are harmful and what's usually hiding underneath The role of inflammation, immune dysregulation, gut health, and metabolic stress in fertility challenges How joy, pleasure, and nervous system regulation directly influence hormones and egg quality Practical lifestyle shifts, lab work, and prep protocols for egg freezing and IVF Ovarian PRP rejuvenation: what the latest research shows and who it may help Resources: Aimee Raupp's website: aimeeraupp.com Yes, You Can Get Pregnant by Aimee Raupp (revised edition for 2026, now available): https://amzn.to/4s0vQfS Aimee Raupp on Instagram and TikTok @aimeeraupp The Egg Whisperer Show podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts Dr. Aimee's Supplement Stack information My Book, The Egg Whisperer Way comes out in Summer of 2026.

In this episode, I break down my "Angel Workup" - the five essential steps every person should take after experiencing a miscarriage. As a reproductive endocrinologist and miscarriage expert, I'm sharing the framework I created as part of my Miscarriage Revolution so you can feel empowered, informed, and ready to move forward. Read the full show notes on my website. This episode covers the A.N.G.E.L. workup: a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to understanding why a miscarriage happened and what you can do next. We talk about the role of age, autoimmune conditions, uterine anatomy, nutrition, genetics, endocrinology, and lifestyle factors. I also walk you through how to collect pregnancy tissue for genetic testing, why you should never blame yourself, and how both female and male partners play a role in preventing future losses. In this episode, we cover: The A.N.G.E.L. workup: Age, Autoimmune diseases, and Anatomy - including AMH, FSH, estradiol, antral follicle count, and uterine anomalies like septums Why nutrition matters for fertility and miscarriage prevention, including plant-based diets, celiac disease screening, and the HOPE approach for PCOS Genetic testing for both partners - karyotype, carrier screening, sperm DNA fragmentation, and pregnancy tissue testing using the Anora test How to safely collect pregnancy tissue at home for genetic analysis Endocrine factors like thyroid disorders, high prolactin, and diabetes that can contribute to miscarriage Lifestyle changes for both partners - BMI, alcohol, smoking, and "sperm bootcamp" Why self-blame after miscarriage is common but unfounded, and how testing can provide real answers Resources: The Egg Whisperer School: eggwhispererschool.com The Anora Test (pregnancy tissue genetic testing): anora test by Natera The Egg Whisperer Show podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts Dr. Aimee's Supplement Stack information My Book, The Egg Whisperer Way comes out in Summer of 2026.

I am so excited to share this conversation with you. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mark Ratner, Chief Science Officer at Theralogix, to talk about a topic I've become incredibly passionate about: NAD+ and its role in egg quality and fertility. If you've been wondering what NAD+ actually is, why your eggs need it, and whether supplementation could make a real difference in your IVF or egg freezing outcomes, this is a must-listen. We get into the science of how NAD+ and sirtuins work together in our cells, why their decline with age is such a big deal for egg health, and the emerging research — from mouse studies to a promising new human trial — suggesting that boosting NAD+ levels could improve fertilization and pregnancy rates. I also share a personal story about a patient whose results completely blew me away after she started NAD+ supplementation on her own. This is the kind of conversation that gets me fired up about the future of fertility medicine. In this episode, we cover: What NAD+ is and how it's present in every cell of your body The role of mitochondria in egg development and why eggs require more energy than any other cell What sirtuins are and how SIRT1 appears to regulate ovarian reserve How the age-related decline in NAD+ and sirtuins creates a "double whammy" for egg quality The connection between NAD+, chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy), and diminished ovarian reserve Key findings from mouse studies and a new human study showing doubled fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates with NAD+ boosting How to start supplementing and what to look for My Book, The Egg Whisperer Way comes out in Summer of 2026.

He discusses Legacy's digital approach to semen testing, sperm freezing, and DNA fragmentation. They explore declining sperm quality, environmental and lifestyle contributors, treating fertility as a health indicator, and destigmatizing male reproductive care to better support men and couples.

They tackle whether sperm really matters and why male health affects fertility. Topics include diet, obesity, heat exposure and chemicals harming sperm. Practical ideas like sperm freezing, men's prenatal vitamins, fitness, and cutting back smoking and drinking are discussed. They also explore epigenetics, climate effects on birth rates, and public awareness around semen testing.
