Episode: Infertility Isnât a Waiting Game: Optimize First with Gabriela Rosa
Description:
Fertility specialist and Harvard Award scholar Gabriela Rosa joins Amy Stuttle to cut through confusion about infertilityâwhat it is, when to seek help, and why âoptimize firstâ beats âwait and see.â Gabriela explains how the healthcare systemâs 12-month definition can delay care, why fertility is a team sport (male and female factors contribute about 50/50), and how sperm quality changes every 3â4 months. She outlines her diagnostics-first method, shares program results (78.8% live birth rate in a cohort with an average of four years of infertility), and breaks down common pitfallsâfrom incomplete semen testing to overlooked infections and lifestyle drivers.
