Customer Reviews
I LOVE THIS PODCAST
I absolutely LOVE Dr. Crawfords podcast! I found her when I was looking up some extra information involving PCOS after being diagnosed. I love how she uses different analogies for things that go on in our bodies to help the average person better understand some terms. I’ll be starting letrozole next month so I’m hoping to see a podcast on letrozole soon!!
Great education podcast!
Love learning from Natalie. She had such a great way of explaining complicated topics and uses evidence based research to back up the things she’s shares. A great listen for anyone TTC or wanting to learn more about woman’s health!
Amazing
Amazing podcast and so much great information. Thank you Dr. Crawford!!
