Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade - three awesome leaders in fertility & women’s health Today, we’ll explore how nutrient-rich foods can support your body and fertility naturally. In this video, you’ll learn: 🌿 The Power of Leafy Greens Foods like spinach, kale, and arugula are packed with folate and iron, crucial for egg development, ovulation, and preventing neural tube defects in early pregnancy. Learn how to include them in salads, smoothies, or stir-fries to meet your daily nutrient needs. 🐟 Why Fatty Fish is a Fertility Superstar Salmon, sardines, and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation, improve blood flow to the ovaries, and support hormone balance. I’ll also share plant-based alternatives like flaxseeds and chia seeds for vegans. 🥑 Avocados: The Fertility Superfood Loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados support hormone production and help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K—essential for reproductive health. I’ll share delicious ways to enjoy them, from smoothies to avocado toast. 🥚 The Role of Eggs and Choline Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and choline, a nutrient critical for egg health, hormone production, and early fetal development. If you’re sensitive to eggs, I’ll explain how to supplement choline for optimal fertility. 🍓 Antioxidant-Rich Berries Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are packed with antioxidants that protect eggs from oxidative stress. They’re also high in vitamin C, which supports healthy ovulation and progesterone production. Learn how to enjoy berries as snacks, in smoothies, or paired with plant-based yogurt. 🥜 Nuts, Seeds, and Essential Minerals Raw almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and Brazil nuts are fertility powerhouses. They’re rich in zinc and selenium, which support hormone production and protect eggs from oxidative damage. I’ll explain why raw, unprocessed nuts are the best option and how they benefit both women and men. 🥣 The Importance of Whole Grains Whole grains like quinoa, oats, and brown rice are rich in fiber and B vitamins, which help balance hormones, regulate blood sugar, and support ovulation. I’ll share tips for swapping out refined grains for these healthier options. 🥗 Fermented Foods for Gut and Hormone Health Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and plant-based yogurt are excellent for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. A balanced microbiome supports hormone regulation, nutrient absorption, and even reproductive microbiome health, which is critical for pregnancy and IVF success. Why This Matters: Your fertility journey is unique, and nutrition is one of the most powerful tools to optimize your reproductive health. By focusing on these fertility-friendly foods, you’re giving your body the support it needs for healthier ovulation, egg quality, and hormone balance.

Worried about low AMH and what it means for your fertility journey? Hey, this is Dr. Aumatma! I’m here to guide you through understanding AMH and exploring fertility options. Empower yourself with knowledge! This episode will unpack the truth about Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), its role in your fertility, and why it’s not the definitive indicator you might think it is. Low AMH—three letters that often strike fear and uncertainty in anyone trying to conceive. If you’ve been told that low AMH means IVF is your only hope or that you’ll never conceive naturally, this episode of Egg Meets Sperm is for you. In this episode, we’re covering it all: What is AMH? A breakdown of Anti-Müllerian Hormone, what it measures, and what it doesn’t. Ovarian Reserve Myth-busting: Why AMH doesn’t directly correlate with the number or quality of your eggs. The Dam Analogy: An easy-to-understand explanation of how AMH works to regulate follicle development. Age and Context Matter: How AMH levels vary based on age, health conditions like endometriosis, and hormonal imbalances. Hope for Low AMH: Real-life success stories of women who conceived naturally despite low AMH levels, and why IVF isn’t always the answer. Beyond IVF: Natural and holistic approaches to optimizing your fertility health. 🌿 Key Takeaways: While AMH can give us valuable insights into your fertility, it’s just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Dr. Aumatma emphasizes the importance of looking at the full picture—age, other hormone levels (like FSH and LH), and your overall health. Low AMH doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Whether you choose natural methods, holistic treatments, or IVF, there’s always hope when you understand the full context of your fertility health. 💡 Why This Matters: Did you know that AMH was originally used only in the context of IVF outcomes? The number can be valuable in planning an IVF cycle, but its broader application to natural conception is far less definitive. Learn how you can approach low AMH with clarity, confidence, and an understanding of all your options. 📖 Real-Life Stories: A 32-year-old with an AMH of 0.2 was told she would need donor eggs. After holistic treatments, she conceived naturally and delivered a healthy baby—without her AMH ever increasing. A 45-year-old with an AMH of 1.3 shocked her IVF doctors by retrieving 22 eggs and producing 18 grade-A embryos. Both women’s journeys prove that AMH is just a number—not your destiny. 💌 Take Action: Feeling overwhelmed by your AMH levels? It’s time to take a deeper dive into your fertility health. Schedule a discovery call now and learn how we can work together and create a personalized fertility plan just for you. Let’s chat! I want to hear from you!

Egg Meets Sperm , the best podcast to guide you through your fertility journey holistically because fertility takes two! In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Catherine Clinton, a quantum biology expert, to dive into how quantum principles like energy, light, and mitochondrial health play a crucial role in fertility. Dr. Catherine Clinton, licensed naturopathic physician, spent over 15 years helping people overcome their health issues. Diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and Lyme disease while in medical school, she began the long and difficult journey of healing- a path that led to the commitment to help others to not only heal physically but to return to the relationships we evolved over millennia with for a deeper sense of health and belonging. By healing herself and patients like her, she discovered that true health comes from our relationships. Dr. Catherine has learned how our quantum biological system is intimately and inseparably connected to the world around us. Our relationship with the dirt beneath our feet, the sun, the wind, the water, the plants, the seasons, each other- that is the real medicine. Her mission is to empower as many people as she can with this knowledge to encourage the paradigm shift, we so desperately need.
