RTL Episode 79: Educating Fertility Patients with Alease the Embryologist

 
 

Alease Daniel Barnes graduated from North Carolina State University in 2018 with a degree in Genetics and a minor in Biotechnology. While at NCSU, she developed a passion for reproductive health, women’s health and comprehensive sex education, but wasn’t sure how that would translate into a career. Her degrees gave her great lab experience and she wanted to utilize that while also working with patients.

Alease went into the field right after graduation and over the years, she realized just how little information there is on what actually goes on behind the scenes in the lab. She then decided to create her Instagram and Tiktok, and it’s grown into a great way to educate patients. Infertility is not an easy journey and she believes understanding what happens in the lab can help give patients peace of mind during their treatment.

Her pages have now grown to over 170k followers and have been featured on Buzzfeed, Good Morning America, mom.com and more.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Alease about:

  • Embryo grading

  • The embryo freezing process

  • All about the PGTA testing

  • What to ask about your reproductive endocrinologist and their lab
