Ep 10 - Uncovering Local, Hidden Wisdom with Nat Geo Explorer Arati Kumar-Rao

Why is it so hard to get non-sensationalist information around fertility – it’s either the fear factor or the fog of ignorance peppered with social nuggets of information that can be helpful or entirely misleading, take your pick. On #SayAgain this week, Amrita Tripathi speaks to Dr Ruma Satwik, Senior Consultant the Center for IVF and Human Reproduction at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi. Dr Satwik breaks down the science, debunks some common myths and misconceptions and talks aging, women and the bigger picture. From menstrual health to ‘brain fog’ to the importance of strength conditioning to how men “definitely have it easier”, we take a look at a tricky topic fraught with emotional baggage, in a calm way, with much wisdom from the good doctor.
