About this episode

Dr. Hyman discusses reproductive health and its significance for women's longevity with Dr. Natalie Crawford.

Most health issues don't appear overnight. Long before a diagnosis is made, the body often provides subtle clues that something needs closer attention. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with double board-certified fertility physician Dr. Natalie Crawford about her new book, The Fertility Formula, and why fertility and hormone health can reveal far more about your health than many people realize. We discuss: Why the menstrual cycle may be one of the clearest indicators of overall health How sleep, stress, and insulin resistance may be affecting your hormones The overlooked symptoms that may signal deeper dysfunction What many women get wrong about PCOS and hormone health Practical strategies to support fertility, reduce inflammation, and improve long-term health Health challenges don't begin when symptoms become impossible to ignore. They often start years earlier. Being able to recognize those signals is one of the most effective ways to take a proactive approach to your health. Looking for a place to start? My 10-Day Detox is designed to help reduce inflammation, reset your metabolism, and build a stronger foundation for long-term health. View Show Notes From This…
