  • Real Support through Loss with Jessica Fisher of Lavela Health

    Real Support through Loss with Jessica Fisher of Lavela Health
    Oct 5 2026
    Reproductive loss is far more common than most of us realize until it happens to us or someone we love. Miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy, termination for medical reasons and the losses that can accompany infertility are very different experiences, but they share something important: people often leave medical care still needing support for everything that comes afterward.My guest, Jessica Fisher, founded Lavela Health after experiencing a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in 2021. She went looking for a therapist who understood reproductive loss and discovered how difficult that was to find. Over the next two years, she researched what was missing and eventually created Lavela, which connects people with therapists who specialize in reproductive loss.Jessica's own story continued after her ectopic pregnancy. She experienced four additional losses and later went through another pregnancy carrying a tremendous amount of anxiety. We talk about what it means to move forward after loss when pregnancy itself may no longer feel safe or uncomplicated.One of the things I found especially important in our conversation was the distinction between having a good therapist and having a therapist who understands reproductive loss. You may already have a therapist you trust and want to continue seeing. Specialized care can be added when you need someone who understands the particular grief, fear and physical experience that can accompany reproductive and pregnancy losses.Jessica explains how Lavela matches clients with clinicians based on the type of loss they've experienced and what they're looking for in a therapist. Because care is virtual, access isn't limited by geography in the same way as a local practice, although clinician licensing restricts their offerings to California. Lavela intends to expand beyond the state to accommodate the need. Another part of our conversation focuses on what happens outside the therapy room. Partners, family members and friends may desperately want to help and have no idea what to say. Sometimes their attempts to make things better can leave the person who is grieving feeling even more alone. Having a skilled therapist can take some of that pressure off the relationships closest to you.We even get into AI and the growing number of people turning to technology for emotional support. There may be a place for tools that help someone find information or organize thoughts, but Jessica feels strongly that grief needs human connection. Reproductive loss is deeply personal, and being heard by someone who understands this particular kind of loss matters.Toward the end of the episode, we talk about recognizing when additional support may be helpful. Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and there is no set time to be “over it” . Sometimes you simply need someone in your corner who understands what you've been through and where you are now.This episode may be especially helpful if you are:grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy or termination for medical reasonsgoing through infertility and carrying losses that may not be visiblethinking about trying again after a losspregnant again and finding it difficult to trust the pregnancywondering whether specialized support could complement the therapy or medical care you already havetrying to support a partner, friend or family member through reproductive lossReproductive loss can be isolating, particularly when the rest of the world seems to expect life to return to normal long before it feels normal to you. My hope is that this conversation helps you understand what specialized support can look like and reminds you that you can ask for more help when you need it.Support your fertility journey with the Preconception Plan at Health Youniversity:https://healthyouniversity.co/programsLearn more about Lavela Health:https://lavelahealth.comFollow Lavela Health on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/lavelahealth/Follow Lavela Health on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/lavela-health/ 💻 About Susan Fox: https://www.healthyouniversity.co/aboutTake your 5-Element Fertility Quiz: http://yourfertilityquiz.com/Detox to De-Stress: View the FREE Masterclass on the importance of detoxification to prepare for a healthy pregnancy: https://susanfox1.easywebinar.live/gentle-detoxLearn about our program entitled Your Fertile Health: https://www.healthyouniversity.co/programsSchedule a Fertile Health Assessment: https://www.healthyouniversity.co/your-fertile-health-callLet us journey with you as you navigate your fertile health.

  • AI + IVF = Embryo Predict with Dr. Eduardo Hariton

    AI + IVF = Embryo Predict with Dr. Eduardo Hariton
    Sep 28 2026

    Artificial intelligence is making its way into the fertility lab, including how embryos are evaluated and selected for transfer.

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Eduardo Hariton, Harvard-trained OB-GYN and fertility specialist at Reproductive Science Center of the Bay Area, to talk about Embryo Predict, an AI-based technology being used to add another layer of information to embryo assessment.

    We discuss how embryologists grade embryos today, what AI may add to that process, and where the fertility specialist's clinical judgment still matters. Dr. Hariton also walks us through the IVF process, from your first consultation and ovarian stimulation through egg retrieval and embryo selection.

    We also talk about decisions many patients face along the way, including genetic testing, how age influences treatment planning, how many IVF cycles may be needed, and the considerations involved in freezing eggs, embryos, or both.

    This episode may be especially helpful if you are:

    • Going through IVF and have more than one embryo available for transfer
    • Considering whether or not to genetically test your embryos
    • Curious about how AI is being incorporated into fertility care
    • Deciding whether to freeze eggs, embryos, or both
    • Trying to understand the IVF timeline and what you may encounter along the way

    If IVF is part of your fertility plan, this conversation will help you better understand both the technology entering the fertility lab and the decisions you may be asked to make throughout treatment.

  • 9 months before the 9 months with Angela Jenkins

    9 months before the 9 months with Angela Jenkins
    Sep 20 2026

    When we talk about preparing for pregnancy, most of the attention goes to fertility testing, prenatal vitamins and what happens once you begin trying to conceive. I prefer to start earlier. The months before conception give us time to look at nutrition, sleep, hydration, movement and some of the environmental exposures that are part of everyday life.

    My guest, Angela Jenkins, is a registered dietitian and detoxification strategist with more than 30 years of clinical experience. Angela takes an even longer view of preconception health, planning for the nine months before pregnancy whenever possible.

    We talk about some very practical places to begin, including the quality and amount of water you drink, eating real food, getting enough sleep and taking a closer look at products and exposures in your home. Angela also explains why she pays attention to mold, fragrance, personal care products, clothing and bedding, and how she approaches these issues without trying to change everything at once.

    Our conversation also gets into regenerative farming and food quality, fitting exercise into a busy day, getting natural light, turning screens off before bed and something that is often missing from conversations about health: spending time with other people.


    This episode may be especially helpful if:

    • you're preparing to conceive naturally or through IVF and want to use the months beforehand to improve your health
    • you eat well but still don't feel as well as you think you should
    • you'd like to reduce unnecessary environmental exposures but aren't sure where to begin
    • you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog or an existing health condition while preparing for pregnancy
    • you want practical changes that don't require an enormous amount of time or money

    One of the things I appreciated about this conversation was Angela's emphasis on the basics. Clean water, nutritious food, sleep, movement and reducing exposures where it makes sense may sound simple, but they are also the things we live with every day. Preconception health gives us a reason to pay closer attention to them.
