Summary
Dr Helen O’Neill is a leading expert in reproductive science, she’s a lecturer in reproductive and molecular genetics at University College London, she has a Masters in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine and a PhD in Stem Cell Biology. She is also the founder and CEO of Hertility Health, an award-winning bio-tech business specialising in fertility testing that has raised over £5 million since launch.
Fertility is obviously a hugely sensitive topic, but it’s also one that we never talk about for exactly that reason. When I started this podcast, I wanted it to cover the important topics that we never get taught, and I learnt so so much from Helen that I really couldn’t believe I haven’t researched or known before. If you’re thinking about switching off right now because you find the idea of fertility testing terrifying like I do, I promise you it’s worth sticking it out and listening to this one. However, if you are someone who is currently struggling to conceive, or finds fertility conversations particularly hard, this is an episode to skip.

| 0:34.4 | topic, but it's also one that we never talk about for exactly that reason. |
| 0:38.6 | When I started this podcast, I wanted to cover the important topics that we never get |
| 0:42.3 | taught, and I learned so, so much from Helen that I really couldn't believe I haven't researched |
| 0:47.1 | or known before. If you are currently struggling to conceive or have any anxiety around fertility, |
| 0:53.0 | I personally would say that this isn't the |
| 0:55.1 | episode for you. But what I would really encourage for everyone else, if you do decide to listen to |
| 1:00.1 | this episode, is that I think it's really easy to hear fertility statistics around women and feel |
| 1:07.1 | terrified and therefore feel like it's fearmongering. |
| 1:12.9 | You know, this is a really sensitive topic. |
| 1:14.4 | I don't know enough about it, to be perfectly honest, |
| 1:16.7 | but I do also think that there is this huge data gap and also huge discussion gap |
| 1:22.7 | when it comes to women's health. |
| 1:25.1 | And I don't think that we can at the same time as getting incredibly |
| 1:30.3 | angry about this data gap and about what we know about women's health and the fact that it is |
| 1:34.7 | hugely understudied and under-researched and under-invested in and at the same time shut down |
| 1:41.2 | fertility statistics and learnings as complete fear-mongering. So I would just say, |
| 1:48.3 | bear that in mind. Everyone's going to have different opinions. Everyone's going to be unique. |
| 1:51.7 | You might be the rule. You might be the exception. What I think is incredibly important, |
| 1:56.5 | the state of women's health is completely dire when it comes to what we know about it, when it comes to what we understand about it, when it comes to how we talk about it. |
