Growing up you learn all the ways to prevent getting pregnant, but no one really discusses what happens when you want to get pregnant and can’t.
On this episode, I talk with fertility expert Dr. Marc Sklar, a Harvard trained medical professional. He gives real advice on how to get pregnant and debunks some of the myths regarding fertility. Plus we cover many non-traditional options for enhancing male and female fertility if you're not yet ready (or jaded by) traditional Western medicine.
