Trying to Concieve? Pherdal Let's You Take Control of your Fertility with Dr. Jenn Hintzsche

In this episode, Cara welcomes Dr. Jenn Hintzche, a mom who refused to take the word "infertile" as her diagnosis and created a solution! Dr. Jenn was diagnosed with unexplained infertility in 2017 and was told expensive fertility options were their only chance at conceiving. After 16 months of infertility, Hintzsche and her husband Ryan conceived their daughter in two months with their patented medical device, The PherDal Kit.

Pronounced 'fertile', PherDal bridges the gap between traditional conception and more invasive, expensive fertility treatments offered today only in fertility clinics.

Dr. Jenn is on a mission to provide hope for millions struggling to get pregnant by leading her team of medical, legal, and health tech experts to bring the first and only sterile FDA-cleared over-the-counter assisted reproduction kit to the market.
