Fertility Myths, IVF & the Pressure Women Carry with Dr. Lucky Sekhon | 415
One of the most loaded, misunderstood, fear-filled topics women face is fertility. Because apparently we’ve all been sold two completely conflicting messages at the exact same time:
“You have plenty of time.” AND “Your eggs are basically turning to dust after 35.”
Super helpful.
In this episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon — double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, fertility specialist, and author of The Lucky Egg — to separate actual science from internet nonsense, fearmongering, and wellness-industry garbage.
This conversation is honest, nuanced, and deeply needed. Because fertility is not a morality test, a personal failure, or something you can hack with enough supplements and a promo code.
In This Episode, We Explore:
-
The biggest fertility myths women are still being told
-
Why fertility is not a “cliff” — and what actually happens with age
-
The truth about egg quality, IVF, and “advanced maternal age”
-
Why so many women feel blindsided when trying to get pregnant
-
The dangerous rise of fertility misinformation on social media
-
What actually matters for fertility health (and what absolutely doesn’t)
-
The role of insulin resistance, sleep, exercise, and nutrition in fertility
-
Which supplements may help — and which are mostly expensive hope
-
Why infertility is NOT just a woman’s issue
-
The male fertility conversation we should’ve been having all along
-
How to advocate for yourself without spiraling into fear
Because you deserve facts, options, and support — not shame, blame, or another influencer trying to sell you something.
