Each has navigated the ins and outs of life — from careers, to parenting, marriage (and, for Jen, divorce), spiritual evolution, and the joys of being hardcore Gen Xers. With each weekly episode, Jen and Amy serve as our “everywoman” guides to all the seasons — past, present, and future — as they walk excitedly and tenaciously into the second half of life.

That's why they invite some of the most interesting and accomplished guests to the podcast, bringing insight, expertise, and understanding to the most relevant topics of our time. From Jen and Amy’s compelling conversations with guests to their witty banter (and the occasional eye-rolls at the absurdities of life), they’re here reassure you that you’re not alone in this game of life. It’s “For the Love” of all that is good, justified, exasperating, exhilarating, real, fun — and so much more.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-the-love-with-jen-hatmaker-podcast-830534"},"episode":{"title":"Fertility Is a Health Marker: The Bigger Picture of Hormones and Women’s Health with Dr. Natalie Crawford","slug":"fertility-is-a-health-marker-the-bigger-picture-of-hormones-and-women-s-health-with-dr-natalie-crawford","published_at":"2026-04-15T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-the-love-with-jen-hatmaker-podcast-830534/fertility-is-a-health-marker-the-bigger-picture-of-hormones-and-women-s-health-with-dr-natalie-crawford","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-the-love-with-jen-hatmaker-podcast-830534","url":"https://jenhatmaker.com/podcast/","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/v9Uiw3bGr54f6BVZKSyc/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/CAD7103211221.mp3?updated=1776219366","summary":"Description:This week, Jen and Amy sit down with double board-certified OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Natalie Crawford, author of The Fertility Formula, for a wide-ranging conversation about hormones, inflammation, stress, and the powerful (and often misunderstood) signals our bodies are constantly sending. While Dr. Crawford’s work is rooted in fertility, this episode zooms out to something much bigger: how hormone health reflects our overall well-being — and why midlife is often the moment when the body stops whispering and starts speaking clearly. But this conversation isn’t just for women trying to get pregnant. It’s for women in perimenopause and menopause wondering what their bodies are doing now — and why. Because fertility is more than reproduction; it’s a health marker. The same patterns that shape our fertility years — inflammation, hormone signaling, metabolic health, stress — also influence how we experience menopause, what symptoms show up, and what kinds of support our bodies will need. And it’s also for women stepping into the grandparent years — who want to better understand what their daughters, daughters-in-law, and younger women in their lives are navigating. Because the more we understand our own bodies, the more compassion and clarity we bring to the next generation. Together, they unpack: Why your menstrual cycle (even in its changes) is one of your most important health indicators Natalie’s experience with pregnancy loss and how it shaped her approach to women’s health The effects of societal and political shifts on women’s reproductive choices How cycle awareness can support both fertility outcomes and menopause transitions Whether or not you are thinking about fertility — or are long past that season — this conversation reframes i…","meta_description":"Description:This week, Jen and Amy sit down with double board-certified OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Natalie Crawford, author of The Fertil…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3811,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/for-the-love-with-jen-hatmaker-podcast-830534/episodes/fertility-is-a-health-marker-the-bigger-picture-of-hormones-and-women-s-health-with-dr-natalie-crawford/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-the-love-with-jen-hatmaker-podcast-830534/fertility-is-a-health-marker-the-bigger-picture-of-hormones-and-women-s-health-with-dr-natalie-crawford.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
