Dear Media, Molly Sims

Dr. Shahin Ghadir has been in Molly’s life for a long time. As someone who got married and had children later, Molly wanted to do everything in her power to prepare for all scenarios. We wanted to have the big conversation with a fertility specialist around fertility health and infertility prevention. It’s such an important topic for all women—and one that is often quite uncomfortable and rather dreaded. We get into egg freezing and why it’s definitely worth considering, we debunk the correlation between regular periods and getting pregnant, and we even brush on menopause and why it happens. Whether you’re 20, 30, or 40, this episode is for you.
