Welcome to the brand-new version of the podcast. We're excited and we hope you enjoy it! SHOW NOTESToday we're talking about the so-called "fertility cliff"—the belief that after the age of 35, a woman's chance of having a child drops precipitously. We had the opportunity to interview Sisi Toro, an educator and self-confessed medical nerd. Through her research she's discovered that fertility isn't just about your age—there's much more to the story.Disclaimer: though the data presented in this article is scientifically backed, every person’s experience is different.
