If weight concerns on the fertility journey are taking up your mental space, do not miss this episode.

Dr. Toomer generously shares her own journey of navigating type 2 diabetes, an elevated BMI, and a potentially fatal diagnosis of heart failure early in her career.  She discusses how being an early adopter of a GLP-1 literally saved her life. She gives an overview of GLP1’s and shares her thoughts about when a patient with fertility struggles could consider starting one.

Even if you have not struggled with weight, this episode highlights many of the less talked about aspects of the fertility journey: stigma, unsupportive family members, and shame.

May this episode be a conversation started for many more impactful conversations!
