Ep. 58: Why Egg Quality is Key, with Dr. Elisa Yao

Egg quality is an under-appreciated key to successful pregnancy. Containing half of a pregnancy's DNA, it can make or break the outcome. Women approaching or over the age of 40 hear about it's importance all the time. But can we do anything to improve the quality of our eggs?? Dr. Elisa Yao says YES, and shares with us risk factors for reduced egg quality and ways to improve egg quality in the next few months.
