As a Woman

Dr. Natalie Crawford is a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and fertility physician who brings genuine clinical expertise to every episode. With over 330 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from more than 1,100 listeners, this show has become one of the most trusted voices in women's reproductive health. Dr. Crawford covers everything from egg freezing protocols and IVF prep to hormonal acne, PMDD, and perimenopause -- she does not shy away from the complicated stuff. Each weekly episode runs about 30 to 45 minutes, and she balances solo deep-dives with guest interviews featuring specialists like neuroscientists and endocrinologists. What sets As a Woman apart is how Dr. Crawford explains medical concepts without dumbing them down. She will walk you through the actual science behind endocrine disruptors or embryo transfer protocols, but in a way that feels like getting advice from a really smart friend who happens to have years of medical training. Recent episodes have tackled male fertility, strength training for hormonal health, and the connection between inflammation and reproductive outcomes. Listeners do note there are quite a few ads, which is the trade-off for getting this caliber of medical information for free. If you are trying to understand your fertility, navigate IVF, or just want a physician-level perspective on how your hormones actually work, this is the podcast to start with.
