## Resource

Fertility is changing fast—and many women don't realize how early the clock starts ticking. In this episode of The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast , Lisa sits down with renowned reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Jaime Knopman to unpack the truth about fertility decline, egg freezing, IVF, and why more women are struggling to conceive later in life. Dr. Knopman breaks down the real drivers behind today's fertility crisis, including age-related infertility, insulin resistance, PCOS, and lifestyle myths that deserve a reality check. You'll learn how egg quality changes over time, what egg and embryo freezing actually involve, and why fertility preservation can offer options—but never guarantees. Together, Lisa and Dr. Knopman also explore the emotional side of infertility, the ethics of embryo storage, the future of fertility science, and what every woman should understand about her reproductive health long before she's ready for children. This is an empowering, no-nonsense conversation about owning your fertility, understanding your body, and making informed choices without fear or shame. 👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/ , and follow @lisafischersaid for more.
