Everyone has heard about how fertility issues are impacting our demographics. Lifestyle and affordability are two factors often cited. But could there be more?
For Dr. Marina, the problem hit home when her daughter, an intern at a prominent and competitive medical residency program, asked about freezing her eggs.
A residency is full of stress which can impact egg quality and overall fertility. Long hours and little exercise. Even everyday choices—like consuming fast food or exposure to endocrine disruptors—can significantly affect reproductive health.
How does one preserve one's options?
This podcast is one doctor's journey to understand how modern allopathic medicine may actually overlook the essence of health, especially reproductive health. Drawing on her own experiences and those from decades of practice, Dr. Marina offers a balanced look at medicine, mind and body health for all of us.
It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!
