@the.living.room.pod: Most people think of ovaries as reproductive organs. But that's only part of the story. In this conversation, Dr. Jennifer Garrison explains that ovaries function more like a second brain — sitting at the center of a complex signaling network that communicates with nearly every tissue in the female body. The heart. The bones. The muscles. The liver. The brain itself. All of it is connected to ovarian signaling in ways science is only beginning to understand. As Dr. Garrison puts it, we don't yet know all the words in those chemical conversations, let alone how each individual one works. But we do know what happens when ovaries are removed or stop functioning properly. And what that tells us is significant: ovaries aren't just involved in reproduction. They are essential to health at every age! Tune into the full conversation, out now on all major streaming platforms.
