Listen Later

On today’s episode, WHOOP SVP of Research, Algorithms, and Data, Emily Capodilupo, sits down with Dr. Natalie Crawford, OB-GYN and leading voice in fertility education, to unpack the science behind fertility, the menstrual cycle, contraception, and long-term health.

Together, Emily and Dr. Crawford explore why fertility is more than just about having kids—it’s a vital sign for overall wellbeing. Dr. Crawford breaks down how hormonal birth control works, the misconceptions it often carries, and why advocating for yourself in the doctor’s office is so important. Emily and Dr. Crawford dive into endometriosis, PCOS, and other common, but often overlooked, hormonal conditions that impact fertility. 

Whether you’re actively thinking about family planning or simply want to better understand your body, this episode is full of empowering insights to help you take control of your hormonal health.
