The $15 AI That Beats a Fertility Specialist — Here's How | ft. Kirsten Karchmer

Send us Fan Mail She was one of the first reproductive acupuncturists in North America. She worked with over 10,000 infertile couples. And then she built an AI that beat her by 6%. In this episode of *Between the Sheets with Dr. Z*, Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP sits down with Kirsten Karchmer — reproductive health pioneer, author of *Seeing Red*, and founder of Conceivable — for a conversation that will make you rethink everything you know about your period, your hormones, and what fertility really means. Kirsten spent 20 years in clinic before a single statistic changed everything: less than 3% of couples can afford fertility treatment. So she built something better, and it works. In a pilot of 105 women, with zero human interaction and no IVF, her AI app increased the likelihood of natural conception by 150 to 260% in just four months — for $15 a month. **What you'll learn in this episode:** - Why tracking ovulation with a fertility monitor may actually increase your miscarriage risk — and what to do instead - What a "conceivable cycle" looks like (most women have never had one and don't know it) - Why 80% of the 16,000 women Kirsten surveyed had energy levels of 6 or below — and why that matters enormously for fertility - The connection between fatigue, exhaustion, and miscarriage that almost nobody is talking about - How PMS is not normal — and how 85% of women can have almost none of it within 90 days - What your menstrual blood is actually telling you about your liver, hormones, and overall health - Why the app uses a virtual AI care team (nutritionist, therapist, data analyst, and more) to address fertility from every angle simultaneously - The forever chemicals in your skincare products that are quietly disrupting your hormones - Heart rate variability, the vagus nerve, and why getting out of fight-or-flight is the missing piece for so many women - What happened when Kirsten got accidentally pregnant at 47 with an FSH of 23 (yes, really) **Find Kirsten and Conceivable:** - 🌐 conceivable.com — sign up for early access and the personalized supplement quiz - 📖 *Seeing Red* — available wherever books are sold 📅 **Navigating perimenopause, hormone imbalances, or sexual health concerns?
