Because we know we're born with all our eggs.

We run out of them over time.

And I like to think about them as in that vault inside the ovary.

And every month you have a little group coming out of the vault.

Very few things can get into the vault.

Most of us are born with a number and we just lose over time.

But chronic inflammation gets inside the vault.

And so when we are exposed to chronic inflammation, not only does it damage our eggs, changes our ovarian response, changes our brain's interpretation response.

it actually decreases the number of eggs we have inside the vault.

So we run out of eggs faster.

Exactly the same way, right?

You and I are very passionate that the ovary is the most interesting part of our body and so important for your health.

So we want to think about inflammation just as you're trying to get pregnant.

ovarian health and hormone function and being able to interpret your body's signals is all interfered by inflammation.

And then especially once we get into perimenopause-menopause, we don't have that reliable high estrogen, which is anti-inflammatory, we start to feel the burden of this inflammation even more.

So it's even more important anytime we have this hormonal change that we are moving the levers where we can.

So that we can feel the best that we can, but also so that our ovaries can function in the best way that they can.

We don't need to make it harder for them as they're already getting to a place where they're starting to have less eggs.

So there's no one single choice that's going to get you pregnant or prevent a pregnancy.

But we really start thinking about how chronic inflammation can impact us on so many different ways.
