Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Sophia Pavia speaks with Dr. Valenson with Fibroid Institute Houston.  Dr. Valenson is a specialist in vascular and interventional procedures, focusing on providing personalized, outpatient care for uterine fibroids. Fibroids are very common. As many as 3 out of 4 women will develop fibroids during their lifetimes. Most are unaware they have fibroids. Sometimes, doctors will accidentally discover fibroids during a routine pelvic or pregnancy exam, and then refer their patients to a specialist to have the fibroids treated. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus, or womb. Fibroids develop from the smooth muscular tissue of the womb. They may grow slowly or quickly, or they may simply stay the same size. However, if they get too large, they may start causing the painful and life-altering symptoms listed above. In this epiosde Sophia and Dr. Valenson discuss what women can go to treat their fibroids especially if the fibroid is hindering them from getting pregnant.  Thank you to our Season 5 Sponsors.

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson speaks with Patience Axmann and shares a very special song dedicated to her and all TTC warriors! Patience is a singer, songwriter, wife and mother, entrepreneur and currently lives in Wichita Kansas. Since she knew how to talk she has been telling stories. Through words, photography, film, and most recently through music. She writes songs to give space to feelings too deep for words. Seasons of struggles, awe in the ordinary. Often as a way to tell her own story, often as a way to encourage others as they face their own battles. She spends her time writing, recording, producing, serving in worship ministry at her local church, documenting families and love stories through photography, and raising my three beautiful children. This episode is a GEM! Not only do you get to hear the inspiration behind such an incredible song, but you get to hear the passion, drive and faith of Patience. It is one you will want to listen to, share and have in your back pocket for when TTC gets tough.  You can follow patcience on Spotify to check out her work, head to her website for more infomration on the many projects she is currently working on or click here to listen to this amazing song on REPEAT!  Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/track/67ob09ry6LzQchD43e2zhq?si=BjuxnvnRQUG9ejKxQvBFGg   iTunes:  https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-father-you-are/1876511668?i=1876511669   Thank you to our Season 5 Sponsors.

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson has Kristin Brogaard with Path Fertility. Kristin Brogaard, PhD is Co-founder and CSO of Path Fertility, a division of Inherent Biosciences, a molecular diagnostics company at the intersection of epigenetics and AI. Dr. Brogaard is an experienced molecular biologist, study director, and operations manager for early stage biotech startups. Dr. Brogaard received her PhD in Molecular Biology from Northwestern University developing novel epigenetic technologies. She subsequently worked with Dr. Leroy Hood, a pioneer in personalized medicine technologies, first as a post-doc and then as a colleague launching a novel scientific wellness start-up, Arivale. Caitlin and Dr. Brogaard have an indepth chat about sperm health and how most sperm tests done when looking at a couple's fertility is simply not enough. She believes infertility affects men and women equally, but technology has not allowed men to be an equal partner in the fertility testing process – until now. SpermQT analyzes the sperm's ability to find, bind, penetrate, and fertilize an egg. The ability to complete these important steps relies on the sperm quality and function, critical factors that are measured by SpermQT. According to Dr. Brogaard a lot of infertility goes undiagnosed because men go undiagnosed. When men go undiagnosed, women go through procedures that will not work. In this episode Caitlin and Dr. Brogaard chat about why it is important to look into your partner's sperm and get more testing done for both male and females.  SpermQT is givving our listeners a discount to their product!

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Hosts Caitlin and Sophia chat with Ashley Koff.  Ashley Koff is the founder of The Better Nutrition Program (BNP), has spent over 25 years dedicated to creating resources that simplify nutrition and help people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. She also has the privilege of serving as the Nutrition Director for UC-Irvine's Susan Samueli Integrative and Functional Medicine Fellowship, where she mentors the next generation of healthcare leaders. Together, they are working to rewrite the rules of wellness with integrative, personalized approaches to health. Through heer personal and professional history, she has learned about weight-health hormones and their role as regulators of overall weight health (what she calls our body's "ecosystem"). When functioning optimally, they put things where they should go – muscle, bone and fat. When suboptimal – whether suppressed, delayed or dysfunctional – they keep us all from optimal weight health. Through clinical practice over 15 years, she created the first weight-health hormone function assessment and protocols for optimization. She shares that with you here and in her new book Your Best Shot: The Personalized Plan for Optimal Weight Health- GLP-1 Shot or Not. Throughout her career, she has been honored to be recognized for her work, including being named Hollywood's Leading Nutritionist (InStyle) and one of CNN's Top 100 Health Makers. Her books, Recipes for IBS and Mom Energy, reflect her passion for making better choices accessible to all, and she is thrilled to be releasing her third book—my "love letter to better"—with Harper Collins (HaperOne) in January 2026.
