What if you discovered your fertility was declining long before you were ready for kids?
Why is it still so hard to talk about infertility—especially for men?
In this powerful episode of the me&my health up podcast, host Anthony Hartcher sits down with fertility advocates Valerie Kvita and Bilge Gare to explore the realities of reproductive health, emotional resilience, and breaking the silence around infertility.
Valerie opens up about her journey through premature ovarian insufficiency at age 35 and the emotional weight of undergoing egg freezing. Bilge shares insights from her TEDx talk “Coming Out of the Fertility Closet”, focusing on the hidden toll of infertility and how we can shift the narrative—starting with inclusive education and shared responsibility.
Together, they unpack the stigma, offer hope, and introduce their empowering book I Am Magic, a resource designed to guide individuals through their fertility journey with knowledge, compassion, and choice.
