The TV personality shared on the Sunday episode of Rachel Bilson and Olivia Allen's "Broad Ideas" podcast that she gets chronic UTIs, which often makes her question her compatibility with some of her sexual partners. However, she has gotten her hands busy at finding the right solution for the copious amounts of UTIs she gets.

"My most recent thing that I have been doing is I take a cranberry supplement twice a day, and then I take an oregano supplement. And I'm usually on a pretty, like, every four months I'll get one," she noted.

The podcast co-host also noted that she faces a similar challenge, stressing that medics must find a permanent cure to the infections, rather than subject patients to several bouts of antibiotics.

Allen added that while it used to be a pretty normal challenge for her when she was younger, it got worse with age, and sometimes moving around gets hard due to a constant urge to urinate.

DeSorbo concluded that she cannot find a correlation between her UTIs and her romantic partners, despite Bilson saying otherwise.

The Podcaster Revealed A Major Fertility Decision

DeSorbo also shared on the Sunday episode that she also decided to freeze her eggs after she separated from "Southern Charm's" Craig Conover after three years together.

According to her, she is a big fan of freezing one's eggs because it provides a sense of security and assurance immediately when she does it. The podcaster also gave an inside view into how the freezing process works because it allows patients to see exactly their peak fertility period. In her words:

"And I think it's like you're 21, 21 to 25 or something. I'm like, 'Why wouldn't anyone say, 'Hey, freeze your eggs now, and then you don't have to think about it for 15 years?'"

In 2025, she claimed that it had been on her mind for a while to get it over with since 2024, when she broke things off with her ex.

Paige DeSorbo Detailed Her Challenges With Anxiety

The media personality has always kept an open book about most parts of her life, including her professional dealings. Last year, she opened up about battling a crippling anxiety at the start of her "Giggly Squad" podcast tour.

As shared by PEOPLE, she recalled getting hit by the worst panic attack episode as she prepared to go on stage in Denver. Her co-host, Hannah Berner, did not have it any easier either, as DeSorbo recalled that she encountered a wardrobe mishap right at the point of getting on the stage.

"So she's gonna wear this silk pajama shirt that the venue had given us, like this merch. I can't even speak, and the only words I can get out are: 'You can't wear that shirt on stage!" DeSorbo added.

Despite her situation, she still rose to save the day by giving her co-host a T-shirt to wear from her bag, a much better option than the silk pajama. The podcaster had a rough experience on her podcast tour, especially as her breakup with Conover happened a few days after the tour kicked off.

The star explained last June that she had to exit the set in the middle of filming her guest-hosting episode for the dating series because she got sick and even fainted. According to PEOPLE, DeSorbo gave several reasons as to why she experienced these medical emergencies.

She recalled jumping straight into filming while running on less than 24 hours of rest and low acclimation to the environment. DeSorbo continued that her outfit for the day also joined forces with the weather to make her very uncomfortable.

Despite taking a break to throw up, she ignored all the warning signs from her body and told the producers she was doing just fine. However, she passed out as filming went on, and it dawned on her to really press pause on the hosting gig and leave the set abruptly without a proper goodbye to the fans.

The 33-year-old spilled some truth about drawing the curtain on the show after six interesting seasons with them. As stated by The Blast, DeSorbo affirmed that her intuition absolutely felt it was the right step to take at the time, and in the middle of the filming of the ninth season, it dawned on her that she could not mentally be present for a 10th season.

She noted that events in her life and her current headspace have evolved beyond the show, and she would not be able to fake authenticity should she appear on another season.

The star reiterated that it was not her vibe anymore compared to when she joined as a 20-something-year-old, stressing that it would be fair to give another younger girl that same opportunity she had when she was 25.

Her co-star, Amanda Batula, also added that it became exhausting for her to go out to the Hamptons every single weekend, driving back and forth, sitting in the traffic, all the partying, the drinking, and she just truly needed a break from everything.
