Ep. 1,020: Join us as we sit down with Dr. Natalie Crawford – double board-certified OB/GYN and reproductive endocrinologist specializing in fertility and reproductive health, host of the podcast As a Woman, and author of the bestselling book, The Fertility Formula. As the co-founder of Fora Fertility, as well as the CEO and co-founder of Learn at Pinnacle, a medical education network, Dr. Natalie Crawford has built her career around helping people better understand their hormones, reproductive health, and the signals their bodies are giving them — with the belief that you can’t make decisions on data you don’t know. In this episode, Dr. Natalie Crawford breaks down why fertility is a reflection of overall health and how both men and women can take a more proactive approach at every stage of life. We discuss her five non-negotiables for supporting fertility, the everyday habits that influence egg and sperm quality, and what your hormones may reveal about your reproductive health. Dr. Crawford explains what men need to know about testosterone and sperm health, what women can learn from AMH levels and ovarian reserve, and the realities of egg freezing, IVF, and the fertility challenges so many couples face. With an understanding that every fertility journey is different and not everything is within our control, this conversation is about replacing fear and uncertainty with knowledge, navigating challenges with greater support and compassion, and feeling more empowered to make informed decisions about your reproductive future, no matter which stage of life you are in.
