In this day and age, it’s likely we all know someone who has struggled with fertility issues and infertility in general.

 

I for one have had my share of fertility issues, as I share in this episode. It’s why I wanted to bring Dr. Laxmi Kondapalli onto my podcast to discuss such a sensitive topic, while giving you tips as you navigate your own fertility journey.
