Episode Details

This week's episode is a continuation of my conversation about developing our skills to best use the placenta as a diary of intrauterine life. 

Dr. Parast shares more of her work about the promise of placental pathology to better understand both the pregnancy that has been completed and potentially to better predict what a future pregnancy could hold. 

We also talk about: 
* how to prepare your body for pregnancy
* what biomarkers in conjunction with new screening methods can do to help with prediction during a pregnancy
and
* how studying the placenta could yield insights on aging more generally
