Summary
I’m joined by Dr. Courtney Alexander, OB-GYN and women’s health expert, to break down what women actually need to know about fertility, birth control, and reproductive health in their 20s and 30s. We talk about the biggest myths fueling anxiety around age, timelines, and “falling behind,” and why so much of the information online is doing more harm than good. Dr. Alexander explains what fertility really is (and isn’t), why being healthy doesn’t automatically mean getting pregnant will be easy, and how much age truly matters. We get into PCOS, irregular periods, unexplained infertility, and why birth control isn’t the enemy it’s been made out to be, including the benefits no one talks about.

| 0:12.2 | Yeah, thanks so much for having me. |
| 0:14.4 | Yeah, I think that, you know, women's health is such a, you know, a hot button issue. |
| 0:19.9 | And so you hear people from all different, |
| 0:23.9 | you know, walks of life giving their advice and their information. I just wanted to be able to come |

| 0:56.7 | you see so much that's really frustrating and you're just like, oh, like this is not, |

| 1:27.5 | into it, I realized that it's not just another wellness trend. It's the real deal, and Cowboy Colostrum |
| 1:32.6 | is the best one out there. If you're not familiar, Colostrum is the first milk mammals produced |
| 1:37.4 | after giving birth. Way thicker and richer than regular milk, packed with hundreds of natural |
