  • How Endocrine Disruptors Impact Your Fertility

    How Endocrine Disruptors Impact Your Fertility
    Feb 17 2026
    Ever feel like your environment is sabotaging your hormones? In this episode of the As a Woman podcast, Dr. Natalie Crawford uncovers the impact of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) that can be found in the air we breathe and the products we use daily. These "forever chemicals" interfere with the brain-ovary connection and affect egg quality. But you have the power to combat their effects. Join Dr. Crawford for practical tips on reducing your toxic load and making healthier choices that support your hormonal health and future fertility. What You’ll Learn: How EDCs act as "biological noise" in the body, interfering with the critical communication between your brain and your ovaries. The surprising connection between your gut health and toxic exposure, and why some chemicals deliver a "double hit" to your systemic inflammation levels. The link between cumulative chemical exposure and common reproductive hurdles, from irregular cycles and PCOS to your long-term ovarian reserve. Startling insights from the EARTH Study regarding how environmental factors impact success rates for couples trying to conceive, both naturally and through IVF. The three primary categories of EDCs you need to know, including several "sneaky" sources hidden in your daily routine that most people overlook. Practical, sustainable ways to audit your home and personal care routine to decrease your toxic load without feeling overwhelmed by the need for perfection.

  • Fertility Q&A - Alcohol, Low Estrogen, CoQ10, and More

    Fertility Q&A - Alcohol, Low Estrogen, CoQ10, and More
    Feb 15 2026
    Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. 1. I’m wondering how alcohol affects male and female fertility, and whether cutting back or abstaining can improve our chances with IVF or natural conception. 2. My wife has low estrogen, and we’re trying to conceive. What should we know before her upcoming doctor’s appointment so we can ask better questions? 3. We’ve been trying for 3 years with Clomid and no success. Our doctor suggested a sperm analysis, but we only have access to a CVS kit — are those reliable? 4. I take CoQ10 while trying to conceive — should I take it all month, and do I stop during the two-week wait since it’s not recommended in pregnancy? 5. My partner has low motility. How often should we have sex during my fertile window — and am I ‘using up’ good sperm if we start too early? We conceived once but lost the baby, and I’m struggling to feel confident.
