  • Low AMH & High FSH: Is Donor Eggs REALLY Your Only Option?
    Sep 22 2025

    So many women are told that if they have low AMH and high FSH, their only path to pregnancy is through donor eggs. But is that the whole story? In this powerful conversation, Sarah shares her personal journey with premature ovarian insufficiency, the devastation of being told she had “no chance,” and the hope she’s seen after 25 years of supporting women worldwide.

    Join me as I interview Sarah Clark!

    When Sarah Clark was 28 years old, she received a diagnosis of premature ovarian failure. She accepted the diagnosis and had both her children through in vitro fertilization. Years later, she realized the root cause of her infertility was a food sensitivity, chronic stress, and later a gut infection.

    She is the CEO and founder of Fab Fertile, a company dedicated to supporting couples with low AMH and/or high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and premature ovarian failure/insufficiency.

    She is the author of Fabulously Fertile - Supercharge your Fertility Naturally. Her Fab Fertile Method, which includes functional lab testing, supports couples to make diet and lifestyle changes that dramatically improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby.

    On her Get Pregnant Naturally Podcast, she shares that with functional medicine and natural fertility solutions, we can eventually reverse infertility. Check it out on iTunes and Spotify.

    We dive deep into:

    ✨ Why doctors often recommend donor eggs so quickly

    ✨ The truth about AMH and FSH as fertility markers

    ✨ Gut health, thyroid issues, and hidden imbalances that impact fertility

    ✨ Why functional medicine offers new hope beyond the standard diagnosis

    ✨ Real stories of women who restored cycles and improved egg quality naturally

    If you’ve ever felt hopeless after hearing that your AMH is too low or your FSH is too high, this episode is for you. 💛

    0:00 – Introduction

    2:15 – Why donor eggs are often suggested

  • Fertility Timing Secrets: Conception Windows, Implantation, & A 2-Week TTC Blueprint
    Sep 18 2025

    If you’ve been staring at ovulation strips, waiting for the “perfect day,” and wondering why pregnancy still isn’t happening—you’re probably timing sex wrong.

    The truth is, your fertile window isn’t just one day, and ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) or basal body temperature (BBT) charts don’t tell the whole story. In fact, relying on them alone might mean you’re missing your best chances.

    Hi, I’m Dr. Aumatma—a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for over 15 years, with board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I’m the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of the Egg Meets Sperm Podcast, which ranks in the top 5% globally.

    I’ve had the honor of becoming a 2-time best-selling author with my books Fertility Secrets and (in)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes. Over the years, I’ve been recognized with awards such as Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor (2015, 2020), Top Women in Medicine Doctor (2020, 2021), and was inducted into the Berkeley Hall of Fame in 2022.

    I’ve shared my expertise on over 100 podcasts, speaking on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, and have been featured as a holistic fertility expert on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump.

    Through the years, I’ve trained hundreds of practitioners globally in holistic fertility care, and many of them have gone on to become certified in my Fertile Foundations™ system. I also founded Madre Fertility, where we offer a free Smart Fertility Analysis to help people uncover their fertility blocks and map out a personalized path to conception.

    In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade—three incredible innovators in fertility and women’s health.

    In this comprehensive fertility timing guide, we’ll cover:

    🔹 Conception Timing Science — How sperm survival and egg lifespan create a 6-day fertile window

    🔹 Ovulation vs. LH Surges — Why a positive OPK doesn’t mean “go time” yet

    🔹 Implantation Window — The critical 6–10 days post-ovulation that can make or break pregnancy success

    🔹 Cycle Optimization — Cervical mucus, sex schedules, lifestyle changes, and exactly what to skip

    🔹 Advanced Cases — What to do if you have irregular cycles, PCOS, short luteal phases, or male factor issues

    🌟 PLUS: I’ll give you a practical two-week TTC blueprint—step-by-step instructions for when to test, when to try, and how often—so you can stop guessing and start leading the egg.

    This video is especially for you if:

    ✔ You’ve been TTC for months with no luck

    ✔ You’re tired of stressful “deadline sex”

    ✔ You want to understand BOTH conception and implantation for higher pregnancy success


    💡 Fertility takes two—and when you work with your biology instead of against it, you give yourself the best chance at a healthy pregnancy.


    📌 Make sure you watch until the end for the sample cycle timing plan you can start using right away.

  • Unexplained Infertility & SIBO: How Gut Health Impacts IVF, Hormones, and Pregnancy Success
    Sep 15 2025

    Did you know your gut health could be the missing link in your fertility journey? 💡 If you’ve been struggling with unexplained infertility, repeated IVF failures, hormone imbalances, or pregnancy loss, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) may be playing a bigger role than you think.

    In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Jen Yundt Coles, a gut health strategist and SIBO expert who works with high-performing women to uncover the overlooked connection between digestive health, hormones, and reproductive health. You’ll learn how gut imbalances influence egg and sperm quality, implantation, hormone regulation, and even your body’s ability to carry a pregnancy full-term.

    Jen has always been a high-achiever and entrepreneurial go-getter, and over the years, discovered that creativity, boundaries, and speaking her truth were the real keys to overcoming decades of health challenges. Her outside-the-box thinking even helped her get pregnant 20 years ago.

    ✨ Here’s what you’ll discover:

    • What is SIBO? (and why most fertility doctors don’t test for it)
    • Early warning signs you may be ignoring: bloating, skin conditions, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and irregular bowel movements
    • Gut-hormone connection: how estrogen, progesterone, and the microbiome interact to support (or sabotage) fertility
    • Fertility testing & gut testing explained: lactulose breath tests, stool testing, and uncovering hidden bacterial strains like Klebsiella, E. coli, and Clostridium
    • Root causes of SIBO: chronic stress, antibiotics, birth control, over-exercise, food poisoning, mold toxicity, and even viral infections
    • Nutrient depletion: how overgrowth blocks absorption of iron, zinc, folate, and B6 — critical for conception and embryo development
    • Treatment approaches: why antibiotics alone rarely work, how biofilm disruptors and herbal antimicrobials can help, and why nervous system regulation is essential
    • Mind-body connection: how stress and “survival mode” impact fertility — and the role of rest, intuition, and feminine energy in healing

    🌸 Whether you’re just starting your TTC journey, facing “unexplained” infertility, or feeling discouraged by repeated IVF cycles, this conversation offers hope, insight, and real solutions.

  • Fertility & Pregnancy Nutrition: The Essential Guide for Moms AND Dads | Detox, Diet & Epigenetics
    Sep 8 2025

    Your baby’s future health starts long before pregnancy—and BOTH parents play a critical role.

    In this empowering interview, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt reveals how nutrition, detoxification, and lifestyle choices in the pre-conception phase can shape not just your baby’s health at birth, but their lifelong well-being.

    Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, ND, PhD, is a leader in integrative medicine and founder of The Karlfeldt Center in Boise, Idaho, where he has supported health transformations since 1987. He is the author of A Better Way to Treat Cancer, host of True Health: Body, Mind, Spirit on Tubi TV, and creator of HealthMade Radio, where he engages with global wellness experts. Dr. Karlfeldt is widely recognized for his patient-centered, holistic approach to cancer, Lyme disease, and chronic health conditions, blending physical, emotional, nutritional, and spiritual care to harness the body’s natural healing power.

    From fertility nutrition essentials to practical detox strategies, you’ll learn how to prepare your body—and your partner’s—for conception, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery.

    💡 In this episode, we cover:

    0:00 Introduction & why fertility prep matters for both parents

    3:25 How early should you start preparing for pregnancy?

    6:40 The father’s role in fertility & epigenetics

    10:50 Toxins that impact fertility—heavy metals, plastics, pesticides, and more

    15:20 Nutrition for healthy conception: omegas, methylated B vitamins, probiotics, folate vs. folic acid

    22:45 Detox before pregnancy—parasite cleanses, mold remediation, heavy metal support

    30:10 Underlying infections (Lyme, EBV, herpes viruses) and their effect on pregnancy

    37:05 Gut health and nutrient absorption for optimal fetal development

    43:00 Emotional health, relationship stability, and pregnancy outcomes

    48:30 The surprising nutrient that supports detox & brain development: chlorella

    52:15 Postpartum recovery & avoiding nutrient depletion


    Key Takeaways:

    • Start early: Ideally, begin preparing your body and your environment at least 6–12 months before conception
    • Dads matter: Sperm health + epigenetic influence can affect a child’s health into adulthood
    • Choose methylated nutrients: 5-MTHF, methylcobalamin, P5P—your body absorbs and uses these more effectively
    • Detox before, not during pregnancy: Parasite cleansing, heavy metal removal, and mold cleanup are safest when done pre-conception
    • Gut health is key: A healthy microbiome supports immune function and the baby’s brain development
    • Don’t forget emotional health: Safety, stability, and reduced stress improve pregnancy outcomes

  • How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Boosts Fertility, Hormones & IVF Success | Natural Fertility Support
    Sep 1 2025

    What if oxygen could be one of the most overlooked keys to fertility? 🌱✨

    In this in-depth conversation, we explore Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) — a safe, non-invasive therapy that super-saturates the body with oxygen under gentle pressure. By doing so, HBOT supports cellular energy, repair, blood flow, and hormone balance — all critical factors for fertility and conception.

    My guest today is Dr. Jason Sonners. He is a leading expert in hyperbaric medicine, blending clinical experience with a PhD in molecular biology focused on regenerative health. He’s the founder of HBOT USA, author of Oxygen Under Pressure, and serves on top hyperbaric boards worldwide. Through his clinics and research, he’s redefining how oxygen therapy can optimize healing, performance, and longevity.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    🔹 Fertility Benefits of HBOT

    • Improves sperm motility and reduces DNA fragmentation
    • Enhances egg quality and supports a healthier uterine lining
    • Stimulates angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth) for better reproductive blood flow
    • Regulates hormones & neurotransmitters, promoting cycle balance and ovulation

    🔹 IVF & Preconception Support

    • Helps prepare the body before egg retrievals and embryo transfers
    • Boosts success rates by supporting implantation and uterine lining resilience
    • Assists in detoxification support by energizing the liver, kidneys, and gut
    • Provides resilience during the stress of IVF cycles

    🔹 Epigenetics & Oxygen

    • HBOT may positively impact epigenetic signaling, influencing how genes are expressed at conception
    • Supports long-term reproductive health by optimizing the environment where DNA and epigenomes meet

    🔹 Beyond Fertility

    • Supports stress reduction by activating the parasympathetic nervous system
    • Promotes postpartum recovery: healing, tissue repair, hormone balance, and reducing inflammation

    💡 Whether you’re just starting your fertility journey, facing unexplained infertility, or preparing for IVF, HBOT is emerging as a powerful, natural complement to traditional fertility care.

  • The Fertility Breakthrough Doctors Overlook: How Methylation Impacts Conception, IVF, and Egg Quality
    Aug 21 2025

    Struggling to conceive? Experiencing unexplained infertility, failed IVF cycles, or even recurrent pregnancy loss? You’re not alone — and there may be a missing piece no one has explained to you.

    In this eye-opening video, Dr. Aumatma — Holistic Fertility Specialist with almost two decades of experience — uncovers the critical role of methylation in reproductive health. This powerful yet often-overlooked biochemical process happens billions of times per second in your body and influences everything from egg and sperm quality to hormone balance, detoxification, and embryo development.

    Hi, I’m Dr. Aumatma—a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for over 15 years, with board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I’m the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of the Egg Meets Sperm Podcast, which ranks in the top 5% globally.

    I’ve had the honor of becoming a 2-time best-selling author with my books Fertility Secrets and (in)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes. Over the years, I’ve been recognized with awards such as Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor (2015, 2020), Top Women in Medicine Doctor (2020, 2021), and was inducted into the Berkeley Hall of Fame in 2022.

    I’ve shared my expertise on over 100 podcasts, speaking on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, and have been featured as a holistic fertility expert on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump.

    In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade—three incredible innovators in fertility and women’s health.


    👉 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

    • What methylation really is (and why it’s your body’s “master control system”)
    • How compromised methylation disrupts fertility — from chromosomal abnormalities to poor implantation success
    • Why common genetic variations like MTHFR can block folate metabolism (and why taking standard folic acid may actually harm your fertility)
    • The 5 key fertility processes methylation controls: egg/sperm quality, hormone balance, detox, gene expression, and cellular energy
    • Nutrition & lifestyle strategies to naturally support methylation (foods rich in folate, B vitamins, choline, and more)
    • Supplements that make a difference — and how to personalize them based on your genetic profile
    • Real patient success stories, including Brooke, who conceived naturally after failed IVF once her methylation issues were addressed

    🌱 The Takeaway:

    Methylation is not just a biochemical process — it’s the hidden key to unlocking your body’s natural fertility potential. Supporting this pathway through nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation could help you overcome barriers to conception, even if you’ve been told donor eggs or repeated IVF are your "only options."

    Your body isn’t broken. It simply needs the right support.
