Muscle, insulin resistance, and fertility

I have so many friends struggling with infertility or getting different fertility information from their doctors—”freeze your eggs, don’t freeze your eggs, it’s okay that you don’t get your period, it’s a warning sign”. Then I read Dr. Natalie Crawford’s amazing book, The Fertility Formula, and I found out that there’s a HUGE underlying cause of infertility that I’ve never heard anyone talk about. 

So today, I’m fortunate to have on Dr. Natalie Crawford, a world renowned fertility doctor, a double board certified OBGYN, and author of The Fertility Formula, to clear things up. We’re talking about exactly what to do in your 20s, 30s, and 40s for your fertility. And heads up—even if you don’t want kids, your fertility is incredibly important for your overall health. 

Whether you’re trying to put yourself in the best possible position for the future you want, or you’re trying to solve a problem, this episode is going to help, and you’re going to get information you won’t hear anywhere else.
