## Resource

How much of fertility is truly in your hands and how much comes down to age and genetics? Reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Jaime Knopman joins us to break down egg freezing, IVF, embryo preservation, and what actually impacts fertility (hint: it’s not just your lifestyle). We also talk about guilt, stigma, perimenopause, and why informed choice matters more than blame. An honest, empowering conversation about what it really means to own your fertility at any stage of life.
