In this episode hosted by Anne Matthews, a fertility-focused acupuncturist from Energy Tree in Toronto, Canada, Anne discusses fertility issues with Dr. Aimee. Anne reveals how she became a fan of Dr. Aimee's holistic and patient-centric approach rooted in the TUSHY method, which stands for Testing: Tubes, Uterus, Sperm, Hormones, and Your genetics.

They delve into the inadequacies of common fertility treatments, the importance of comprehensive diagnostic tests, and the role of acupuncture. They also discuss the implications of factors such as polyps, DNA fragmentation in sperm, and the significance of quality embryo grading. Dr. Aimee emphasizes the importance of personalized patient care, thorough diagnoses, and being emotionally and physically prepared for pregnancy, reflecting on her own motivations for specializing in fertility treatments.

The conversation also covers the roles of psychological support, supplementation, and the evolving landscape of egg freezing and IVF.
