Clare Crawley’s Fertility Journey: The Power of Love and Resilience hosted by Andrea Syrtash

I’m excited to share that I’m re-airing a special episode from Pregnantish hosted by Andrea Syrtash, where I had the opportunity to sit down with Clare Crawley from The Bachelor franchise, alongside Mona Rocene, the Global Director of Scientific Affairs at TruNiagen and Chromadex. In this episode, Clare opens up about her deeply personal decade-long fertility journey, including the emotional challenges she faced and her decision to pursue motherhood through IVF and surrogacy.

We dive into some really important topics, like the role of mitochondrial health and NAD+ in reproductive success, and how advances in fertility treatments are giving more people hope. It was such an honor to share my insights as The Egg Whisperer and to be part of Clare’s story, which truly highlights the power of resilience, love, and support in overcoming fertility hurdles.

If you’re curious about how science is advancing in the fertility space or just want to hear Clare’s inspiring story, I think you’ll find this episode incredibly meaningful. It’s a powerful conversation about perseverance, partnership, and the emotional aspects of fertility treatments.

Some key topics we covered:

• Clare Crawley’s personal fertility and surrogacy journey
• The role of mitochondrial health and NAD+ in reproductive success
• The latest scientific advancements in fertility treatments
• The emotional and psychological impact of infertility
• The importance of support systems through fertility challenges

Tune in for an insightful and heartfelt conversation that touches on the complexities of fertility treatments and the power of perseverance in achieving parenthood.
