#278: How well do you understand fertility?

In this bonus episode, I sit down with Dr. Amanda Adeleye of Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine (CCRM) to break down the biggest myths about reproductive health, from egg quality to the male factor in fertility. We explore how aging, social stigmas, and today’s political landscape impact fertility choices from our 20s to our 40s.

Whether you're considering egg freezing or just want to take charge of your reproductive health, this conversation is packed with essential insights!
