You guys know I don't bring just anyone onto this podcast, and today's guest is one of my absolute favorites: Dr. Rahi Victory, reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and founder of Victory Reproductive Care. Dr. Victory and I have worked together for years - so many late nights and weekends spent going back and forth on patient cases - and it's because we're cut from the same cloth. We both hate seeing someone repeat the same failed protocol for six months, a year, three IVF cycles, without anyone asking why it isn't working. We dig. We question. We don't accept "that's just how it's done."

So in this episode, I brought him on to answer the questions you've been asking me for years - and a few that might get us both in a little trouble.

We're covering:

• The truth about being told "unexplained infertility" - and why Dr. Victory believes it's often a sign of insufficient testing, not an actual mystery
• Endometriosis - why "endo doesn't matter for IVF" is one of the most dangerous myths out there, and what the data actually shows
• The fertility misinformation epidemic - mold, parasites, cortisol... Dr. Victory shares why chasing a single "root cause" trend can do more harm than good
• T-shaped uteruses - what they are, whether they can be fixed, and why so many women are told they can't be
• The testing most clinics skip - vitamin D, thyroid antibodies, microbiome, and why these basics matter more than you think
• Irregular periods - Dr. Victory doesn't hold back on why skipping cycles long-term is a real health risk, not just an inconvenience
• PCOS, GLP-1s, and what's actually helping patients right now
• Miscarriage - how many losses before you should start investigating (the guidelines have changed), and what to do after a loss of a "normal" embryo
• Egg quality and IVF protocols - can you overstimulate your ovaries? What's the deal with low-dose protocols? And the "embryo math" behind how many eggs actually become a baby
• The guys - why sperm health gets overlooked, and what's actually in your control
• DNA fragmentation testing - is it a scam, or something every couple should be asking about?
• Red flags - when to question your clinic, when to get a second opinion, and when it's time to walk away completely

This one is packed. If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling brushed off, unheard, or like you were being pushed toward IVF without real answers - this episode is for you.
