Dr. Jamie Knopman on Owning Your Fertility: Perimenopause, Hormones & Informed Choice

Fertility conversations are often framed in extremes urgency or avoidance, hope or fear, "do everything now" or "don't worry about it yet." But what if there was a more grounded, human-centered way to approach fertility especially in your late 30s and 40s? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jaime Knopman, known as the "Queen of Egg Freezing" and author of the forthcoming book Own Your Fertility . Together, we explore what women are rarely told about fertility, hormones, and perimenopause including why this phase is so often overlooked in reproductive medicine, how stress and burnout affect reproductive health, and how to make fertility decisions from a place of clarity rather than fear. This conversation is for any woman who has ever felt behind, confused, or pressured around her fertility timeline and is ready for reassurance, truth, and agency instead.
