Fertility, Microplastics, and IVF with Dr. Natalie Crawford

About this episode

Chelsea Clinton discusses fertility and reproductive health with Dr. Natalie Crawford, addressing common misconceptions and current challenges.

There’s so much information online about fertility — and a lot of it is confusing, contradictory, or simply wrong. As anxiety around reproductive health grows, how can we help patients feel informed, empowered, and better equipped to make the choices that are right for them? This week, Chelsea is joined by OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Natalie Crawford. They discuss delayed childbearing, sperm counts, ovarian reserves, microplastics, IVF, and what to do right now to increase your chances of conceiving when you’re ready. You can follow Dr. Crawford @nataliecrawfordmd and check out her new book, The Fertility Formula: Take Control of Your Reproductive Future.
