What about for women who are older than 30 who want to freeze eggs?
2
Does it make sense for them to freeze at 35?
3
It seems to me the answer would be yes.

Oh, always.

I always freeze because you need one good egg and you don't know if you're gonna get it or not.
6
But freeze and PCOS patients, the beauty of it is they have all these follicles so we can pull out a lot of eggs.
7
Now the quality might not be good, but keep pulling it.
8
So for my PCOS patients, generally speaking, I always tell my patients, "Freeze 20 eggs," 'cause 20 is safe.
9
But as you get older, especially if you have PCOS, I might want 40 eggs.
10
You know, the more you have, because I know the quality's not that good.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
