In this episode of the Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with my friend and fellow “Aimee,” Aimee Raupp – bestselling author, fertility expert, and licensed acupuncturist who has spent over 20 years helping women around the world improve their fertility using an integrative approach that blends Western science with Eastern wisdom. Aimee has just released an updated edition of her landmark book Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, with modern protocols designed especially for women in their late thirties and forties. She also shares her own deeply personal fertility journey, including conceiving naturally at 40 and navigating a devastating miscarriage at 45.
Together we dig into what’s really driving the fertility crisis and it’s not just age. We explore why the word “infertile” needs to be retired, how environmental toxins and chronic stress are quietly disrupting reproductive health, and why unexplained infertility is really just an unexplored diagnosis.
We also talk about the powerful role of joy, nervous system regulation, and the latest research showing the ovaries are wired directly to the nervous system. Plus, we discuss cutting-edge options like ovarian PRP rejuvenation and how to create a “no regret plan” for your fertility journey.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why fertility rates are declining even among women in their twenties and why it’s not just about age
- The environmental toxins, endocrine disruptors, and nutrient depletion silently harming reproductive health
- Why the labels “infertile” and “unexplained infertility” are harmful and what’s usually hiding underneath
- The role of inflammation, immune dysregulation, gut health, and metabolic stress in fertility challenges
- How joy, pleasure, and nervous system regulation directly influence hormones and egg quality
- Practical lifestyle shifts, lab work, and prep protocols for egg freezing and IVF
- Ovarian PRP rejuvenation: what the latest research shows and who it may help
