By puberty, a woman's egg count might be 1 million; at 25, maybe 300,000. Then, around 35, the decline starts to get a bit steeper until all eggs have been depleted (menopause).

Read More »Eggs are a nonrenewable resource. Women are born with ~1 million potential eggs (in the form of ovarian follicles), but that’s all the eggs we’ll ever have. Unlike skin cells or blood cells, which regenerate, our bodies aren’t able to make more egg cells. So our ovarian reserve is like a “bank” that doesn’t take deposits—and we’re withdrawing from it with each passing month. By puberty, a woman’s egg count might be 1 million; at 25, maybe 300,000. Then, around 35, the decline starts to get a bit steeper until all eggs have been depleted (menopause). Source: Wallace W, Kelsey T. Human Ovarian Reserve from Conception to the Menopause. PLoS ONE 2010; 5(1).” under the text and image (screenshot attached) Many people think a woman loses just one egg per month—but that’s not the case. When we’re young, our ovaries are full of egg follicles, waiting to mature; we call this an egg’s “primordial” or “sleeping” state. During each menstrual cycle, a certain number of these follicles are activated to prepare for ovulation, but just one egg takes center stage to mature and be released from the ovary. The understudy follicles, on the other hand, are “reabsorbed” by the body (and effectively lost). Doctors estimate that while our bodies may naturally ovulate only 400 times in our lives, we lose upwards of 1,000 follicles—potential eggs—per month, and that loss accelerates as we get older. During egg freezing, we use medication to prompt those otherwise lost eggs to mature, allowing your body to produce multiple eggs in one cycle. Egg freezing doesn’t lower your body’s natural egg count; it simply makes use of more of the eggs you already have.

The second phase kicks off after four hours and lasts up until about 16 hours from your last meal. This is the "catabolic," or breakdown, phase, when all those extra nutrients start being released from storage to be used for energy. Once the energy stored in your cells runs out, your body starts to rely instead on stored fat. The process of releasing fat and burning it up for energy releases chemicals known as ketone bodies for energy, which usually happens around the 16-hour mark. The rate at which you reach this stage really depends on what you ate for the last couple of meals before your fast. If you ate a lot of carbs and starch, it will take a bit longer than if you ate mostly fats and protein. One of the most powerful features of fasting, called autophagy, also kicks off during this phase. Autophagy is triggered by a reduction in a growth regulator called MTOR, and this process is basically a spring cleaning for your cells. It gets rid of any dead or damaged cellular material3 , which can otherwise contribute to aging, cancer, and chronic disease.
