Your Comprehensive Fertility Bible with Dr. Lucky Sehkon

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, reproductive endocrinologist and author of The Lucky Egg, for a conversation that covers everything you wish someone had told you sooner about your fertility. Dr. Lucky shares her own personal journey through fertility preservation and secondary infertility, what she witnessed training as a fertility doctor that made her completely rethink the timeline she had planned for herself, and why she wrote what she calls a fertility bible for anyone who wants to make smarter, more informed decisions about their reproductive health. They get into the biological clock, insulin resistance, egg quality, what lifestyle actually does and does not affect your fertility, and why the idea that you can always just do IVF is more complicated than most people think.
