The Egg Factor

Can You Improve Your Eggs? What the Science (and CHR) Says

Center For Human Reproduction

When it comes to fertility, egg quality is everything—but is there really anything you can do to improve it? In this episode of The Egg Factor, CHR’s Dr. Norbert Gleicher and Dr. David Barad break down the science behind egg health and what makes it so central to successful fertility treatment.

With decades of experience working with women over 40 and patients with low ovarian reserve, our physicians discuss what the research says about supplements like DHEA and CoQ10, how aging impacts eggs, and why CHR’s individualized approach goes far beyond one-size-fits-all solutions.

Whether you're just getting started or have been through IVF cycles before, this episode is packed with evidence-based advice and insight you won’t hear everywhere else.
