Women are living longer, healthier lives, but ovarian aging still impacts fertility and hormone production as it always has. By their mid-30s most women have a decline in fertility and by age 50, after menopause, many face cardiovascular, bone, cognitive and immune health issues related to loss of hormones.

In this episode, Francesca Duncan, PhD, discusses novel research into maintaining ovarian function, longer. This work could someday help prevent or slow down age-related changes to the ovaries, offering hope for better health as women age.
