General Impressions
Gather initial thoughts and broad opinions about the book.
1. How did this book shape or change your understanding of fertility compared to what you knew, or assumed, before reading it?
2. What aspects of Fett’s approach did you find most helpful, and were there any parts you felt were overly technical, overwhelming, or less convincing?
3. Compared to other health or fertility books you may have read, how did this book’s reliance on scientific evidence affect your trust in its recommendations?
Personal Reflection and Connection
Encourage readers to reflect on how the book relates to their own life or work and how its lessons could help them.
1. When you think about the book’s warnings on plastics and chemicals, do you feel overwhelmed or empowered?
2. Which supplement recommendation in the book made you stop and think, “That could apply to me”? How comfortable do you feel about starting that conversation with your doctor?
3. Fett explains that egg quality reflects months of preparation, not just the present moment. How does this timeline affect the way you view your current habits or routines?
