Title! I’ve learned so much and she’s been a calming presence with a wealth of knowledge. She’s been so helpful with conception tips and miscarriage management.

I heard Dr. Natalie on another pod and her knowledge about hormones changed my life! I’ve been deep diving into this podcast and have learned so much valuable information that providers have not been able to give me. Highly recommend, esp if your hormone health is unique and misunderstood.

notaboringkaren · Jul 2026

The most comprehensive fertility podcast! I love how Natalie breaks it down. Informative and hope filled! Love this!

Mandinandi · Oct 2025

Listening to Katie’s story hit so personal for me. I’m 40 and just finished my 1st cycle of egg freezing with 1 viable egg. I felt so dejected at first but had to be reminded 1 is better than none. All the emotions you mentioned in your story, I felt this to my bone! I’m learning to allow my body grace and to be patient. I’m looking to do another cycle, but until then, I’m proud of my 1 frozen egg ♥️

TU262grl · Aug 2025

She provides alot of super valuable information but I think that for someone who talks frequently about endometriosis and donor conception she leaves a couple of essential things about out of the conversation. For endometriosis she does not talk about the difference between excision and ablation surgery or how to choose a surgeon which is pretty important in fertility and pain outcomes. She also talks about the retrograde menstruation theory of causing endo without talking about other theories about causes of endo or talking about the limitations of the retrograde menstruation theory. For donor conception she does not talk about the problems with sibling pods in the triple digits and lack of regulation around sibling caps or fertility fraud. She does not talk about how donor conceived children feel about being donor conceived and how they feel about known vs anonymous donors.
