Take Control Of Your Fertility, Egg Quality, and Egg-Freezing, with Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Marjorie Dixon | Summer Rewind

Today's summer rewind is a re-release of one of our favourites that we keep coming back to. We'll be back in September with brand new interviews! If you’re nearing (or in) your 30s, you might’ve noticed a new phenomenon taking over your girls’ night convos, your office, and your Instagram feeds. It seems like everyone is suddenly getting pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or worried about whether they’ll be able to get pregnant when they’re ready. The stress of fertility is real, and in today’s highly-requested episode, we debunk common fertility myths and get valuable medical advice from Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Marjorie Dixon on how to prepare for and take control of your fertility journey, whether you’re just starting to learn about natural fertility or dealing with IVF or egg-freezing. If you’re stressed about your fertility, or you feel like you don’t really understand how your body works, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Dixon is the Founder, CEO and Medical Director of Anova Fertility & Reproductive Health, a full-service fertility and IVF centre.
