Are you ready to uplevel your women's health practice? Welcome to the Fertility Friday Podcast! A podcast designed to empower you to use fertility awareness both personally and professionally. If you are a woman's health professional — and you’re not fully utilizing the menstrual cycle as a vital sign — it's time to change that right away! Through evidence-based literature reviews, engaging discussions, expert interviews, and compelling client stories, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, FAE, HRHP covers everything from complex menstrual cycle chart interpretation and balancing hormones to overcoming fertility challenges and more. With over 20 years of experience teaching fertility awareness, Lisa combines her real-world expertise with the latest research to ensure you're fully equipped to support your clients. Lisa's first book, "The Fifth Vital Sign," describes the menstrual cycle as an important vital sign we should pay attention to. Her most recent book, "Real Food for Fertility" (co-authored with Lily Nichols, RDN), explores how a healthy menstrual cycle sets the stage for a healthy pregnancy. With well over 4 million downloads, Fertility Friday is the #1 source for information about fertility awareness and menstrual cycle health. All women deserve to understand how their bodies work, and if we wait for our education systems to do it we may be waiting forever. It's up to us to be the change we wish to see in the field of women's health. In other words, It's YOUR TURN to bring this essential information to your clients sooner rather than later — they need it now!

Dr. Dixon is a graduate of the McGill University’s School of Medicine. Her initial postgraduate training was at the University of Toronto, in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Her passion for reproductive medicine continued during her postgraduate training, where she specialized in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Vermont.  Dr. Dixon is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center. She also speaks both nationally and internationally at conferences in her field of  Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Dixon recently at the grand opening of her new clinic, Anova Fertility & Reproductive Health.

In today’s show, we talk about the impact of aging infertility, the reality of IVF, and future of fertility treatments!

  • What is Dr. Dixon’s vision, and unique approach, for her new clinic?
  • Why Dr. Dixon integrates working with a variety of caregivers into the management of her patients and practice
  • What event was the catalyst that made Dr. Dixon want to specialize in her specific field?
  • The shocking statistics of successfully conceiving as you age
  • Why is a woman over the age 40 less likely to conceive even if she’s in peak physical condition?
  • How likely is it that IVF will be successful and what is the most important factor?
  • Why you need to know the difference between a clinical pregnancy and a “take-home baby”
  • Dr. Dixon breaks down just how long an IVF cycle actually is
  • What is Dr. Dixon’s perspective on patients who come to her with very specific plans; especially when they aren’t a path she would recommend for them?
  • Does the future of fertility treatments include men being able to carry a child in a transplanted uterus?
  • Is it possible that stem cells will allow IVF to be successful without having to take any medications?
  • What is Augment IVF Treatment and what are the implications of this breakthrough?
  • What is the one thing Dr. Dixon wants you to take away from her appearance today?
