If your doctor told you “everything looks normal” but you still can’t get pregnant… this episode will blow your mind (and validate your gut instinct).
I’m joined by Dr. Aumatma Simmons, board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist and the powerhouse behind @holisticfertilitydoctor, to talk about why unexplained infertility isn’t actually unexplained—and how to uncover what your body’s been trying to tell you all along.
We dive into the root causes missed in traditional fertility care, how to tell if your labs are actually optimal (not just “normal”), and what high-achieving women need to understand about stress, estrogen, and their nervous systems if they want to get pregnant naturally.
Dr. Simmons also shares the real deal on the age and fertility myth (spoiler: it’s based on data from the 1800s) and gives us a first look at her AI-powered root cause analysis tool, Madre Fertility.
