Join us today for a deep and inspiring conversation with Dr. Isabelle Amigues. What a beautiful way to conclude this year's podcast episodes by sharing her story of hope. Dr. Isabelle was once in your shoes--powerless, without control, and feeling threatened by not having a family of her own. 

She even tried IVF, which did not work for her. However, by believing in possibility and letting go of that which did not serve her, she was able to experience her dream of becoming a mother as well as use those same skills to overcome stage IV breast cancer. May you savor her wisdom and borrow what you need for your own fertility journey.

Isabelle Amigues, MD, CEO and Founder of UnabridgedMD in Rheumatology

Isabelle Amigues, MD, is a rheumatologist based in Denver, Colorado. She honed her expertise by studying in Paris, as well as at Columbia University, in New York City. At age 40 she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease where she experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing, and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative techniques and she now blends western medicine and eastern techniques into her practice at UnabridgedMD.

Most sentient humans have at least some complex emotions around the holidays. Today's podcast normalizes that complexity and provides tools for navigating the triggers. 

I discuss a framework which helps to prevent most triggers, deal with them in the moment, and then use them as a learning opportunity to better navigate future triggers. 

I also discuss how to look for gratitude and progress in a world which largely has us focus on scarcity. Let's live in the gain and not the gap this holiday season. 

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you many joyful and peaceful moments as you allow Love and Light to carry you.

Today we dive into the complex territory of why some embryos simply do not take, especially when they are deemed “euploid” by the lab. Sometimes it’s the embryo itself, and sometimes the environment, and sometimes both. However, a curious approach is the best approach, and know that I am 1000% committed to your success!

Have you ever wondered why you feel so irritable all of the time? Have you ever gotten a call from your fertility clinic which made you go through the roof? Did someone in your life say something which set you off and ruined your day?

In this way, we can move forward in a much better energetic space, with more joy and energy to focus on what we truly want to in life.

Have you ever stared at a semen analysis report and not known how to analyze it?

This was me until my Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Fellowship.
There are so many lines and reference ranges—what does it all mean?

This episode breaks down male factor infertility into understandable clinical pearls. I review the most important components of a semen analysis, when it should be repeated, and when labs and a referral to a Reproductive Urologist is warranted.

I review some of the controversies and newer devices, and the importance of using intracytoplasmic sperm injection when warranted.

Encore of the very first episode.

We explore how we are not alone when we find ourselves with a fertility threatening diagnosis. We discuss how an infertility diagnosis can affect our feelings, our relationships, and our perspective of life in general. 

At Love and Science, we empower, we educate through evidence, and we use mindful self compassion to start to heal from the inside out.

We discuss a few clients and patients who have benefitted from using coaching tools to re-discover their values and identity, to persevere in the face of adversity, and to help re-attune their mindset to a perspective which serves them.
