Maybe she's born with it? Maybe it's just her eggs. ;) Welcome to the reproductive trust fund you never knew you were born into.

Katie Thompson and Dr. Natalie Crawford come together for a conversation unique to women, but since the entire planet depends on us (and our eggs)– it matters to all.

Eggs are the new generational wealth. They operate as the most mitochondria-dense cells in the human body, capable of giving life, warding off disease and infection, and carry genetic coding embedded from multiple generations of your maternal line. And even better? These superhuman supercells are given to us (women) at birth.

Join Katie Thompson and the leading voice in fertility, women's reproductive health and longevity, Dr. Natalie Crawford as we talk all things: Eggs.

We'll cover the makeup of this superwoman cell, how to maximize fertility and cell function and we'll dive into the world of epigenetics-- what is birth-given, passed down from multiple generations vs what is within your control and how to make necessary choices in your daily life to ensure a long and healthier lifespan.

Eggs matter. It’s not just about whether or not you will have children and it’s not all about your age. This episode is about discovering the value of your own genetic makeup, identifying cellular predispositions and learning what you can do to maximize DNA function to promote a longer and healthier life, for generations to come.
