From news articles, research studies, pop culture, and everything in between, we\u2019re going to break it all down and sift through the noise with the help of our expert, Dr. Janet Choi, Progyny\u2019s Chief Medical Officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today we\u2019re spotlighting a study that\u2019s been turning heads. This pilot study investigates how repurposing low doses of rapamycin, a drug originally used for patients undergoing an organ transplant, could potentially delay ovarian aging in women. While this pilot study shows promise, it\u2019s clear more research is needed. Listen to Dr. Choi unpack the science behind rapamycin and ovarian reserve, what this study found, and what this could mean for the future of fertility and women\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Experts<\/strong>: <br>Dr. Janet Choi, Chief Medical Officer, Progyny <br>Lissa Kline, LCSW, Progyny<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This show does not constitute medical advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DocTalk series, where we discuss current events in the industry and what they might mean for you.
