Men’s and Women’s Fertility, Egg-Freezing, & Mindset with Dr Larisa Corda
Podcast
Show Notes
Are you one of the 3.5 million people in the UK impacted by infertility? With egg-freezing becoming more popular, it can be hard to know what information to trust. That's why we have invited Dr Larisa Corda, an Obstetrician & Gynaecologist and one of the UK's leading Fertility experts, to join us on this week's episode of the Live Well Be Well Podcast to discuss all things fertility.
With egg-freezing on the rise (even before Jennifer Aniston’s recent news around the topic), there is a lot of information and misinformation out there not just about this but about fertility in general, so we wanted to do a podcast and lay (excuse the pun) it all out there.
Are you considering having a baby in the near future, or are you single and not sure of your options? If so, this episode is for you! We'll discuss the process of egg-freezing, how an orgasm can play a vital role in ensuring a healthy pregnancy, the mental health aspect of fertility, and how men can and should be included in the conversation.
We'll also cover overall health and how it can impact fertility, debunk myths and misinformation and discuss IVF. Tune in to learn more about your options and what you can do now to help with fertility.
