This week's episode is with Dr. Ellen Goldstein, an OB-GYN who specializes in fertility! I’ve been looking forward to having a fertility person on cos I’m fascinated by the subject and Dr Ellen is a real treat. How does age affect fertility in men and women, how big a role does healthy sperm play, and what environmental factors can affect our fertility? What’s the ideal age to egg freeze? Does general health affect fertility, eg. Obesity etc? Is it possible to “pick the gender” of your baby (a controversial subject, many talk about). THIS AND SO MUCH MORE ON THIS EPISODE OF THE ZADDY ZONE!
