MYF 76 | Optimizing Fertility Over Age 40 with Dr. Aumatma Shah, ND

Welcome to Episode 76!

In episode 76, I interview naturopathic doctor and holistic fertility specialist, Dr. Aumatma Shah, about restoring and maintaining fertility into your 40’s. With so many couples waiting until later in life to start their families, it’s more important than ever to be proactive and empowered when it comes to your fertility. Whether you’re currently struggling to conceive with advanced age or you’re simply looking for advice on how to extend your reproductive years and alleviate some of the biological clock anxiety that comes along with getting older, this episode can definitely help. You’ll learn about:

  • Why conventional lab markers used to assess fertility really don’t present a complete picture of your fertility potential

  • Which factors are most important to consider with fertility struggles and advanced age

  • How much time older couples should consider spending on natural approaches before adding in conventional treatment

  • What couples over age 35 can do to proactively support their fertility, even if they have no reason to suspect an issue with conceiving

  • The importance of mindset in cultivating a fertile environment in the body

  • How masculine vs. feminine energy can affect fertility in both partners and some advice on keeping your marriage alive during the fertility journey
