In this week's Fitness Fertility Podcast, Maria interviews Karina Dhiman who shares her journey of being diagnosed with breast cancer and infertility at the age of 33. Karina's cancer treatment led to heart failure at just 36 years old, but before starting treatment, she and her husband went through urgent IVF to freeze as many embryos as they could. They later decided that surrogacy was their best pathway to parenthood, and now have four children. Karina also shares how her experiences led her to start a blog and a platform called The Intended Parent, which provides support and advice for those navigating the surrogacy journey.
