Andrew Huberman

Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.

I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.

My guest today is Dr. Natalie Crawford.

Dr. Natalie Crawford is a double board certified physician specializing in obstetrics and gynecology, fertility and reproductive health.

Today, we discuss the actionable steps that all women can take to improve their reproductive and hormone health.

both to enhance probability of successful pregnancy, but also because fertility and hormone health are strong correlates of general health and longevity.

Dr. Crawford shares what all women, regardless of age or reproductive goals, can do to enhance their health using lifestyle, nutrition, supplementation, and prescription medical tools that she indeed uses in her practice.

We also have a very honest discussion about biological versus chronological age and fertility.

Why age is not just a number, but also why it is that many women do successfully conceive in their 40s.

Of course, there's a lot of information online nowadays about women's hormones, fertility, and health.

Today, thanks to Dr. Crawford, you'll learn what is known and documented and what she has herself consistently observed clinically in her practice about women's health and fertility.

Few, if any, people have Dr. Crawford's training, clinical acumen, understanding of the new research and incredible ability to communicate the well and lesser known actionable steps for improving female health.

Dr. Crawford also has a new book out entitled The Fertility Formula Take Control of Your Reproductive Future, which again focuses on reproductive health, but also hormone health and how both of those things impact female health in the short and long term.

Before we begin, I'd like to emphasize that this podcast is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford.

It is, however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero-cost to consumer information about science and science-related tools to the general public.

In keeping with that theme, today's episode does include sponsors.

And now for my discussion with Dr. Natalie Crawford.

Dr. Natalie Crawford, welcome back.

And congratulations on your new book, The Fertility Formula.

It's no small feat to complete a book, and it's especially a big feat to complete a book that offers people so much advice, not just people who want to get pregnant, but also looking at things through the lens of fertility as an important health metric.
