Episode 18 - ICSI/IMSI, Egg Collection & Everything That Followed

Author: Jovin Harper & Serene Husseini November 12, 2022 Duration: 45:50
In this episode, we talk through the process of our second round of IVF in London.

It’s easy to feel pulled in two directions: wanting to invest in your health while also building a secure financial future. The Fitness and Finance Podcast bridges that gap through the real-life partnership of Jovin Harper and Serene Husseini. Jovin, a former financial advisor, brings his focus on property investing to the table, while Serene draws from her high-level experience in bodybuilding and powerlifting, now working as a nutritionist who helps people reshape their relationship with food. Their conversations cut through the noise and hype that saturate both worlds. You’ll hear them unpack complicated topics, from investment strategies to sustainable eating habits, always grounded in their own experiences and missteps. This isn’t about quick fixes or get-rich-quick schemes; it’s a practical look at how thoughtful choices in one area of life can positively impact the other. Each episode of this podcast feels like a candid chat with two friends who have very different expertise but a shared goal: to help you sidestep the common pitfalls and build a life that’s truly well-rounded. Tune in for honest talk, personal anecdotes, and a refreshing lack of industry jargon.
