4. The One Where You Freeze Your Eggs

Is the increased availability and popularity in egg freezing an important advance in women’s ability to control their reproductive lives or is it giving women a false sense of hope that technology can help us extend our biological clock? That’s the question we’re exploring in this episode of The Fatigue Fixer, with my guest, Dr. Alison Gottschalk ND. We chat about how little women actually know about their cycles and how simple education can vastly improve their odds of getting pregnant. Dr. Gottschalk outlines what women need to think about in their 20’s and 30’s when it comes to fertility and what actually happens to our fertility when we hit 40. Whether you’re considering freezing your eggs, are childfree by choice or already had your kids, this episode explores the bind the modern woman often finds herself in: how to balance family goals with wanting to have it all: the great job, the steady partner and financial stability.Key takeaways: What actually happens to your fertility after age 40What women in their 20’s & 30’s can do to prepare for future pregnanciesWhat factors might be contributing to increased rates of “unexplained” infertilityDr. Alison Gottschalk is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, with a focus in women's hormonal health.
