You have probably heard that your ovaries age two and a half times faster than the rest of your body. I went looking for that study. It does not exist. It came from a supplement company blog post with no citation, and then it got picked up by CNN and TIME and now everyone repeats it as fact.
So in this episode I give you the number that is actually real, and honestly it is worse. Aging shows up in the ovary fifteen to twenty years earlier than in any other tissue in your body. Your ovaries are not a fertility organ. They are the organ that sets the pace for your bones, your heart, your brain and how long you live, and almost nobody is optimizing them.
I walk through the full lab panel I run on every client and what each number does and does not tell you, including why your AMH is wrong if you are on birth control. Then the things that actually go wrong in an ovary: cysts, dermoids, endometriomas and what surgery costs your reserve, PMOS, and premature ovarian insufficiency. Then what to do about it across my four pillars, Nourish, Stack, Live and Align, including the supplements that survived the research and the two I am taking off my own list. And I finish somewhere I did not expect, in the Sanskrit and Chinese medicine texts, and what they got right about ovarian aging two thousand years before we could see a follicle.
This was recorded live inside my community with a Q&A afterwards, which is something new I am trying.
This is for education, not medical advice. If you want me to help you read your own labs and build your protocol around them, you can book a free call here.
