Dr. Jamie Knopman on Owning Your Fertility: Perimenopause, Hormones & Informed Choice

Fertility conversations are often framed in extremes urgency or avoidance, hope or fear, "do everything now" or "don't worry about it yet." But what if there was a more grounded, human-centered way to approach fertility especially in your late 30s and 40s? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jaime Knopman, known as the "Queen of Egg Freezing" and author of the forthcoming book Own Your Fertility. Together, we explore what women are rarely told about fertility, hormones, and perimenopause including why this phase is so often overlooked in reproductive medicine, how stress and burnout affect reproductive health, and how to make fertility decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear. This conversation is for any woman who has ever felt behind, confused, or pressured around her fertility timeline and is ready for reassurance, truth, and agency instead.   Contact Website: https://drjaimeknopman.com/ Instagram: @drjaimeknopman   Book: New Book: Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body & Your Future     Where to connect with Andrea Website: https://andreaclaassen.com/   Instagram: https://instagram.com/seasonalandrea   Perimenopause Support Quiz: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/681d3069f79fde0015c88d8c 5 Day Stillness Challenge https://andreaclaassen.com/sacred-stillness-challenge     Andrea Claassen Bio   Andrea Claassen is an Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, RYT 500 hour yoga teacher, and personal trainer who has been in the wellness space since 2007.
