What Doctors Don’t Tell Women About Infertility (The Truth Hurts!) w/ Asima Ahmad

12 Aug 2025

Description

Dr. Asima Ahmad is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and the Co-founder & Chief Medical Officer at Carrot Fertility, a company that’s changing the way people around the world access fertility care. In this episode, Asima shares how she went from earthquake relief work to building a global health platform that’s partnered with major employers, tech companies, and even sports teams. She shares the real story behind starting Carrot, why they ditched the word “infertility,” and how their approach is helping people feel seen and heard, no matter their background, gender, or path to parenthood. We talk about why most people misunderstand what infertility actually is, how the language doctors use can make or break a patient’s experience, and why fertility care shouldn’t be seen as a luxury. Asima also reveals what it’s really like balancing startup life with motherhood even with discouragement that made her success seem impossible. Join us today if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the healthcare system, like healthcare wasn’t built with you in mind, or you simply want to know more about your own fertility.Dr. Asima Ahmad's Links:https://www.get-carrot.com/https://www.instagram.com/doctor_asima/https://www.linkedin.com/in/asima-ahmad-md/Dr Somi Javaid's Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/somi-javaidhttps://www.drsomi.com/Personalized menopause and sexual health care, longer visits, trusted experts, all from home: https://www.HerMD.com
