I’m so excited to have Dr. Sasha Hakman on the show today! She is a board-certified OBGYN and reproductive endocrinologist, and she brings a unique perspective to fertility because of her personal journey with PCOS, her athletic background, and her passion for lifestyle optimization. We talked about how strength training, nutrition, and exercise can support reproductive health, whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, undergoing IUI or IVF, or managing PCOS. Sasha shares her expert advice, practical tips, and inspiration for staying consistent with your workouts and making meal planning easier — all while supporting your fertility and overall health.

During this episode, we cover the science behind exercise and fertility, why strength training is so important, how to safely incorporate movement while trying to conceive, meal planning strategies for busy women, plant-based protein sources, and how women with PCOS can optimize their lifestyle to improve reproductive outcomes. Sasha’s personal story and professional guidance make this episode packed with actionable tips and motivation for anyone on a fertility journey.

Some of the questions we discussed:
  • How strength training and compound exercises can support reproductive health
  • The best ways to safely exercise during IUI, IVF, and pregnancy
  • Common misconceptions about exercise and fertility
  • How to meal plan efficiently while balancing a busy life
  • Dietary strategies for women with PCOS, including lower glycemic carbs and higher protein
  • Dr. Hakman’s personal journey with PCOS and how she applied lifestyle changes

The next live class call is on Monday, October 20, 2025 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
