@the.living.room.pod: The egg that made you once lived inside your grandmother. In this conversation, Dr. Jennifer Garrison breaks down one of the most fascinating — and genuinely strange — facts about human biology. Eggs are unlike any other cell in the body. They're enormous by comparison. And the way the female reproductive system develops makes them unlike anything else in biology. Here's what that means in practice: when a woman is still in the womb, her ovaries are already forming. And so are all the eggs she'll ever have. Which means the egg you came from didn't develop in your mother. It developed inside your grandmother — while your mother was still in utero. It's the kind of fact that stops you mid-thought. Three generations, connected in a way most of us never learned in school. Tune into the full conversation, out now on all major streaming platforms.
