In this episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Rahi Victory, a Canadian-trained OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinology specialist who is truly revolutionizing fertility care. Dr. Victory has built a practice that stands apart from traditional fertility clinics through its unwavering commitment to transparency, honesty, and patient-centered care. His approach treats patients as individuals with unique journeys rather than putting them through cookie-cutter protocols, and he serves international patients from across the globe.

Throughout our conversation, Dr. Victory and I dive deep into what it really means to make your fertility journey YOUR priority, not your doctor's. We explore his comprehensive approach to patient care: from the initial deep-dive consultation that examines everything from medical history to lifestyle factors, to his philosophy on extensive testing that leaves no stone unturned. Dr. Victory shares his belief that infertility represents a loss of control for patients, and his mission is to restore that control by educating them thoroughly and empowering them to make informed decisions about their own care.


In this episode, we cover:

• Dr. Victory's holistic approach to initial patient consultations, including psychological, emotional, and lifestyle assessments
• Comprehensive testing protocols for both male and female patients, including DNA fragmentation testing and natural cycle monitoring
• The importance of transparent communication when delivering test results and educating patients about their diagnosis
• How to counsel patients about ALL their options (from doing nothing to surgery to IVF) without pushing a particular treatment
• The three components of fertility treatment success: the passage, the passenger, and the destination
• What to do when treatment doesn't work and how to investigate every possible factor
• How to find a physician who aligns their priorities with yours and advocates for you throughout your journey

Last year in the United States a baby was born every 8 seconds. That's roughly 3.8 Million babies born last year alone! You don't have to be a fertility doctor to know what that means. Millions of people just like you were trying to conceive.


Research tells us that most couples conceive within six cycles of timed intercourse, but many others (roughly 10% of couples) are struggling with fertility.


Here's the funny thing about what I do. I want to teach you how NOT to be my patient. Of course, there are exceptions to that statement. But in general, I'd much prefer to share with you what I've learned about preparing for pregnancy in hopes that it makes your journey to parenthood easier. A journey that goes without needing to see me.

Embryo donation is an incredible path to parenthood, offering hope to those who may not have other options. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Paula Amato, a reproductive endocrinologist and professor at Oregon Health & Science University, to discuss her personal and professional experiences with embryo donation. Dr. Amato shares her unique perspective as both a fertility doctor and someone who has gone through the process herself.


We talk about the medical and ethical considerations of embryo donation, who it can benefit, and how families can navigate this journey. Dr. Amato also discusses the emotional aspects of embryo donation, including what it means for donors and recipients, and how transparency can play a role in shaping the future of donor-conceived children.


In this episode, we cover:
Dr. Paula Amato's professional background and personal connection to embryo donation
The medical, ethical, and legal aspects of embryo donation
Who embryo donation can help and what the process involves
Emotional considerations for both donors and recipients
The role of transparency and disclosure in donor-conceived families
The future of embryo donation in reproductive medicine
