Understanding Your Hormones

Dr. Natalie Crawford explains your hormones—what they do, what it really means when your hormones are “unbalanced”, and how to get to homeostasis. Your hormones control your entire body and are influenced entirely by the world around you, so it’s important to understand how they work and how to get to homeostasis. She also discusses a recent article from The Cut that examines discrepancies in health benefits across organizations and the dark side of Amazon's fertility benefits.  

Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. How long should I wait after a successful IVF before I try for a second? What are the best things to do to prepare for FET? What are the pros and cons of genetic carrier screening?
