Getting Pregnant After 35, What You Need To Know

286. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Natalie Crawford, a board-certified fertility doctor with a nutrition background, to talk about what women aren’t being taught about fertility and hormonal health. She breaks down how to understand your menstrual cycle, and explains the benefits of learning this even before you’re ready to have kids. We also talk about how mindset, lifestyle, exercise and sleep can contribute toward fertility, especially if you’re in your late 30s and 40s. This conversation shifts the narrative away from fear and age and back to the health of the woman.  Topics Discussed: → How does hormonal birth control impact fertility and the menstrual cycle? → Why should you track your cycle naturally? → When does health matter more than age when trying to get pregnant? → What is AMH and when should you check your levels?   → What is the biggest factor impacting fertility?
