About Your Woman’s Body: Your Perfect Eggs! – Episode 40

This episode is the first in a series focusing on the ins and outs and the biology of women’s bodies, right down to the most basic, cellular level. This episode shares with you much of the fantastic information in chapter one of  Woman: An Intimate Geography – a fabulous and scientific book about what it means to be a woman and/or a female by Natalie Angier. I’ve recently reread this book because it is fantastic! Her first chapter focuses on the eggs in your amazing body. For example, did you know that:

  • You are born with all of the eggs you will ever have?
  • You are supporting the growth of your daughter’s eggs (your potential grandchildren) while she is still inside you?
  • Your eggs are the largest humans cells?
  • Your egg is shaped much like the star of our solar system, the sun?

Learn all this and more in this episode, where we get to the cells of the matter!
