Fertility is one of the most personal—and most misunderstood—parts of human health.
In this episode of The Health Curve, host Dr. Jason Arora and OBGYN Dr. Stacey Silverman-Fine of Maven Clinic unpack what fertility really means today and why challenges are far more common than most people expect.
We explore how fertility is influenced by age, lifestyle, and environmental factors; why both male and female biology matter; and what people should know about subfertility, infertility, and the modern journey to getting pregnant. Dr. Silverman-Fine also breaks down egg freezing, IVF, ovarian reserve testing, and what the emotional and practical experience of these options is actually like.
Whether you’re planning ahead, trying to conceive, or supporting someone through their fertility journey, this episode offers science-backed clarity, grounded expectations, and reassurance on a topic often shaped by silence and stigma.
