The Livelong Podcast
“We don’t wait for a heart attack to screen for cardiovascular disease….” So why do we wait to screen fertility?
Fertility—which describes the capacity to conceive a child—is one of the earliest and most revealing indicators of overall health.
In this episode, Livelong’s Rachel Lehmann-Haupt sits down with reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Natalie Crawford to discuss how fertility reflects the state of your hormones, metabolism, brain, and longevity.
From ovarian reserve to perimenopause to the misunderstood “biological clock,” they explore how reproductive health can predict what’s happening in your entire body…often years before bigger symptoms emerge.
Dr. Crawford also shares her deeply personal experience as a fertility patient — and how it transformed the way she practices medicine.
They explore:
Fertility as an early warning sign for disease
The ovaries as the pacemakers of aging
The failures of “fail first” medicine
Subtle hormonal shifts that signal aging
The emotional and financial realities of egg freezing
We hope this conversation shows you that fertility is not just a moment in time. It’s a lifelong health metric.
