In this episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Chef James Barry—celebrity chef to the stars, founder of Pluck superfood seasoning, and Shark Tank entrepreneur—to discuss why organ meats are nature's ultimate prenatal vitamin and how to actually get them into your diet without the "ick factor."

After 20 years as a private chef cooking for Tom Cruise, George Clooney, and Barbara Streisand, once he became a father of two young daughters Chef James became obsessed with solving one problem: How do we get the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet into modern diets when 93% of Americans are nutrient deficient?

Discover why organ meats are more easily absorbed than muscle meat, how the theory of  "like supports like" works in ancestral nutrition, why freeze-dried liver beats your prenatal supplement, and how one woman who had hemorrhaged and had low supply in two prior pregnancies then had no hemorrhaging and abundant milk supply after using Pluck throughout her third pregnancy.

Learn about the neurolingual response—how your body's innate wisdom knows when to stop eating, why broccoli in 2025 has almost zero nutrients compared to 1960, and how to make organ meats as easy as salting your food.

This episode is essential listening for anyone trying to conceive, is pregnant, or wants to optimize their own and their family’s whole-body health through ancestral nutrition without cooking organ meats (that no one will eat).

In this heartfelt episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Lauren Clements, founder of the Brilora Fertility Foundation, to discuss how grants and community support are changing lives for families pursuing IVF, IUI, surrogacy, and even acupuncture treatments.

After struggling with her own three-year fertility journey—including blocked tubes, saving for 18 months, a miscarriage, and finally welcoming IVF twin girls—Lauren knew she had to do something about the financial barriers preventing others from building their families.

Discover how Brilora provides not just financial grants, but comprehensive support throughout the entire fertility journey, including therapy, medication navigation, cycle guidance, and a community that celebrates every milestone from positive pregnancy tests to baby showers and beyond.

Learn who can apply (everyone—no matter your background, circumstance, or BMI), what makes Brilora different from other grant foundations, how recipients become lifelong advocates and friends, and why this community-based approach is expanding from Michigan and California to states nationwide.

This episode is a reminder that while we wait for universal IVF coverage, organizations like Brilora are filling the gap with compassion, connection, and meaningful financial assistance.

Are you struggling with fertility?  Do you want to increase your success by as much as 42%?  In this solo episode of Health University, Susan Fox reveals breakthrough protocols in the Preconception Plan Perfected at Health Youniversity that have helped women improve their fertility outcomes: Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS).

As her patients suffered from unsuccessful  frozen embryo transfers, she knew she had to get the word out about this evidence-based solution that's still the best-kept secret in fertility care.

In a meta-analysis of over 2,000 women TEAS improved live birth rate - not positive pregnancy tests but babies in arms by a whopping 42%. Learn how this simple at-home protocol improves blood flow to the uterine artery, enhances ovarian and uterine function, and can be used alongside IVF, egg freezing, or natural conception attempts.

Dr. Fox breaks down the Preconception Perfected Plan, which includes TEAS protocols, mind-body guided imagery with binaural beats, Qigong exercises synced to your menstrual cycle phases, targeted nutrition, and journaling tools—all designed to improve whole health and fertile health.

This episode is also a call to action: since 1 in 5 people is presumed to be struggling with infertility - oftentimes sub-fertility, it’s more important than ever that everyone knows there’s a way to improve outcomes.  Please share this message and help someone realize their dream of family.

In this urgent and timely episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan Fox sits down with Barb Collura, founder of Vital Voices Consulting and former President/CEO of RESOLVE (2007-2025), for a critical conversation about the current state of IVF policy and advocacy.

Barbara reveals the behind-the-scenes forces shaping fertility policy in America—from the Alabama Supreme Court decision to the rise of "restorative reproductive medicine" as a political strategy, to recent White House announcements about medication discounts and employer benefits.

Discover why the 84% medication discount may not be what it seems, what "supplemental benefits" really mean for employees, and why well-funded organizations opposing IVF are gaining ground while the fertility community is playing defense.

This episode is a Call To Action: If you're not at the table, you're on the menu. The status quo is unacceptable. Your voice matters. And now—more than ever—is the time to advocate.

Learn how patients, providers, and companies can get involved, what resources are available through RESOLVE, and why this moment demands we be louder than ever before.
