Episode 44 of The Health Exchange Podcast dives deep into the science and emotion behind fertility with guest Dr. Sasha Hackman, a reproductive endocrinologist who blends expertise with lived experience. From the realities of IVF and egg freezing to the myths that cloud public understanding, Dr. Hackman explains how hormones, sleep, and stress intertwine with fertility outcomes and why personalized care matters more than one-size-fits-all advice. She opens up about her own infertility journey, offering rare insight into the emotional toll, resilience, and empathy that shape her work today. This conversation shines a light on the complex, deeply human side of reproductive medicine—balancing data, hope, and heart in every patient’s path to parenthood.
