Together, Kyla and Dr. Luk reflect on the emotional reality of IVF after 40, the different philosophies clinics may bring to diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), and why “low odds” can still mean everything to the person hoping for a child.This episode also covers mild/mini IVF, lower-dose stimulation approaches, day-three embryos, PRP, CHLOE AI embryo monitoring, traveling from Florida to New York for care, and the resilience it takes to keep going through unexpected challenges: from canceled cycles to snowstorms and hurricanes.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or told there was only one path forward. Kyla’s story is a reminder that fertility care is not one-size-fits-all, and that having options, education, and a team willing to pivot can make all the difference.

Instead of feeling intimidated, she remembers thinking: “If they can do it, I can do it.”That belief would help shape a 21-year judo career and a journey that eventually made Olympic history.Together, Dr. Luk and Yael explore what happens when an elite-performance mindset moves beyond sports. From business to parenting, this episode is for anyone trying to build a life that feels like their own 💕0:00 Welcome to Heart to Heart1:12 Yael Arad’s Journey to Olympic History4:38 Parenting & Youth Sports7:37 Disappointment, Self-Belief & Mental Resilience16:30 Fear, Motivation & Staying at the Top25:11 Success, Sacrifice & Choosing Your Own Path35:13 From Olympic Athlete to Business Leader40:25 Leadership & Motivating Others42:08 Women’s Empowerment44:53 Olympic Leadership & LA 202848:09 Legacy & Purpose
