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.
