Fertility care has long been treated as a personal, private struggle. But what if we reframed it as a public health issue—rooted in equity, access, and modern realities?
In this episode, Dr. Rhonda Zwingerman—OB-GYN and co-founder of Twig Fertility—joins Jenny to talk about why it’s time we rethink reproductive care. Together, they explore why traditional systems haven’t kept pace with how people live, work, and plan families today—and what proactive, inclusive, compassionate fertility care could look like.
We discuss:
How career timelines and biological realities are colliding
Why education around fertility needs to happen before crisis
What equity really means in fertility care
And how we can move from reactive treatment to empowered planning
🎧 This episode is released in honour of World Fertility Day (Nov 2), because awareness is the first step to empowerment.
