IVF Prep at Health Youniversity Earns Top Spot in Fertility Education

July 09, 20253 min read

Fertility struggles start quietly, and for the 1 in 5 struggling with infertility It’s a path marked by confusion, longing, and a deep need for clarity and connection.

That’s why we created the Health Youniversity Podcast and the Your Fertile Health Program at Health Youniversity.  We are delighted that our podcast was recently named one of the Top 90 Fertility Podcasts by MillionPodcasts and was also featured in their Top 80 Infertility Podcasts and Top 70 Trying to Conceive Podcasts lists. This recognition reflects the widespread demand for empowering, whole-person fertility education.

Why This Recognition Matters 

Fertility care is often reduced to lab results and medication protocols. But for many women, the journey begins long before any diagnosis, with signs that are easy to dismiss and oftentime are considered “normal”.  Yet they signal deeper imbalances that may not be explored in conventional medical settings.

Health Youniversity podcast bridges this gap, providing whole-body education, emotional validation, and practical tools rooted in science and lived experience.

Recognition from MillionPodcasts confirms what listeners already feel: women deserve more than prescriptions and protocols. They deserve clarity, agency, and meaningful answers.

This acknowledgment reflects a broader shift in what people are seeking from fertility care. It represents a growing community that wants:

  • A deeper understanding of how the body functions as an interconnected system

  • Actionable strategies for hormonal healing and reproductive health

  • A space where they feel truly seen, heard, and supported

What Conventional Fertility Care Overlooks

Conventional fertility care often focuses on lab values and prescriptions, but can miss underlying causes that influence reproductive health. Rarely does it ask:

  • Why isn’t ovulation happening regularly?

  • What is causing estrogen dominance?

  • How are stress, gut health, and metabolism affecting your cycle?


Health Youniversity podcast explores systems that influence fertility before and beyond a diagnosis:

  • Blood sugar regulation and its effect on egg quality and ovulation

  • Liver detox and how it clears toxins and supports hormonal balance

  • The role of the thyroid and adrenal glands in hormonal stability

  • Emotional safety, trauma, and nervous system regulation in conception

  • Lifestyle choices that support fertility at every stage

Each episode reveals the “why” behind symptoms and offers holistic, practical steps to begin healing. Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, planning to freeze your eggs, or prepping for IVF, this guidance helps you take meaningful control of your fertility journey.

Integrative Fertility Support

What sets Health Youniversity’s podcast  apart is its unique blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine, functional nutrition, and current reproductive science. This isn't just another fertility show — it's a resource for long-term transformation.

Inside the podcast, you’ll find:

  • Interviews with reproductive endocrinologists (IVF doctors) and urologists, integrative practitioners and fertility experts

  • Deep dives into conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and unexplained infertility

  • Strategies for supporting a healthy microbiome and improving mitochondrial and cellular energy

  • Nutrition tips that go beyond macros to focus on minerals, detox pathways, and inflammation

  • Mind-body tools that regulate cortisol, vagal tone, and hormone signaling

Health Youniversity  helps people navigate fertility with clarity and care.

We’re proud to display the MillionPodcasts badge as a symbol of this milestone and as a sign that women’s health education is finally being seen, valued, and celebrated. You’ll now find it on our site and in our community channels to help spread the word.

I am a women’s health expert with a specialty in working with women and couples navigating fertility challenges for more than 20 years. I look forward to helping you realize your dream of family. I’m also a mother, a sister, a friend.  I live in beautiful Northern California, where the nature of Mt. Tamalpais, the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay are my backyard.

Traditional Chinese Medicine discovered me in 1978, when I was struggling with digestive complaints that flummoxed medical doctors. It wasn’t until I received my first acupuncture treatment and herbal prescription that I connected my medical condition to grief over loss of a loved one; that the stress of holding in such huge emotions was literally tying me up in knots, and I was finally able to heal.

Discovering the powerful links between the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, and the environmental shifted my understanding of health and wellness forever. 

For more than 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of learning and implementing Whole Systems Traditional Chinese Medicine to understand the root causes of health conditions and realize optimal health and well-being.

I am a strong believer in the importance of health education, for knowledge is power when you have the tools for effective self care.
