In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're exploring one of the most empowering decisions women can make for their reproductive future: fertility preservation through egg freezing.

Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Jamie Knopman, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and co-author of the upcoming book "Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future." Dr. Knopman serves as Director of Fertility Preservation for CCRM Fertility of New York and is a leading advocate for women's reproductive health education.

Dr. Knopman shares why egg freezing is "the new sunscreen"—a preventative measure that gives women control over their reproductive timeline. She explains the ideal age to freeze eggs (hint: it's younger than you think), debunks common myths about the birth control pill and fertility, and reveals how the vitrification process has revolutionized success rates since 2011.

This conversation covers the complete egg freezing process from start to finish, the recovery timeline, how employee benefits are changing to support fertility preservation, and why reproductive health education should start as early as high school. Dr. Knopman also discusses fertility planning for LGBTQ+ couples, the importance of understanding your menstrual cycle, and how egg freezing fits into the broader picture of reproductive rights and body autonomy.

This episode is for you if if you're in your 20s or early 30s planning your career and future family, considering egg freezing but unsure where to start, working in HR and evaluating fertility benefits for employees, part of the LGBTQ+ community exploring family-building options, a parent wanting to educate your daughters about reproductive health, or a healthcare professional seeking to better counsel patients on fertility preservation.
