EP 32: What You Need to Do NOW If You Want Kids Someday: fertility testing, cycle tracking, hormonal birth control and more

This episode is for you if...

• You know you want a family someday but aren't ready to start trying just yet
• You are in your 20s or early 30s
• You are on the fence about whether you want kids or not, but you want to keep your options open

It is the biggest disservice that we are taught to not care about our cycles, hormones and fertility until we're ready to start trying for kids. It could not be further from the truth. The reality is that both male and female fertility are in decline, more people are struggling than ever, and you do NOT want that to be you. It's time to take a look at your fertility, get real about your timeline, run some tests and prepare for the future you want.
