Episode notes
Fertility As A Health Window
- Fertility is a powerful health indicator and a generational issue tied to ancestors' exposures.
- Optimizing fertility before conception improves the long-term health of children and future generations.
Most Conceive Naturally; Access Matters
- Most people conceive within 12 months (94%) and 96% within two years, so difficulties affect a subset.
- Access to care and healthcare systems shape who gets helped, not just biology.
Infertility ≠ Falling Birthrates
- Infertility rates (people struggling) have stayed stable while fertility rates (how many kids people choose) dropped.
- Social, economic and cultural shifts drive declining birth rates, not only biological infertility.
