Dr. Karen Stillman joins the conversation this week to discuss how she helps women worldwide work through fertility issues. We learn about Karen’s passion for taking a holistic approach to the challenges women face when addressing issues around fertility.
Dr. Karen talks to us about her challenges when trying to conceive. Although Karen was an Obstetrics and gynecology Resident and had access to numerous tests, doctors, and other resources, it wasn’t happening. That’s when a conversation with her mother about her successful appendix surgery when she was 13 years old recalled some important memories.
You see, the surgery was successful, but it also revealed that one of her fallopian tubes had knotted on itself and was dying. The surgeon discussed this condition with Karen’s mum and told her, “She will have trouble getting pregnant. Sorry.”” In later years, when talking about this conversation, Karen was reminded that when she heard this story, she responded, “No one is going to tell me that I can have my two babies.”
This memory recall started Karen on the path of addressing her challenges from a purely scientific and holistic approach of mind, body, and spirit. This approach enabled Dr. Karen to have two wonderful children.
We also talk about how fathers and grandfathers can be part of the solution and support structure that our daughters and granddaughters need as part of their care team as they navigate their journey.
This is a fun yet powerful conversation that will help you better understand some of the hurdles women can face as they work to grow their families.
