    Can You Reverse Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Naturally?
    Sep 15 2025
    Conventional medicine often stops at the numbers, low AMH, high FSH for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and turns quickly to donor eggs or IVF.

    Aug 25 2025

If you’ve been told you have low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, or even that donor eggs are your only option, this episode is for you. Here’s what you’ll learn: Why perfectionism, stress, and overthinking can silently sabotage egg quality, ovulation, and implantation. How chronic “control mode” keeps your body in fight-or-flight, blocking conception. Functional fertility insights that reveal hidden imbalances behind infertility. Simple nervous system and mindset tools to shift from stress to safety so your body feels ready to conceive. 👉 Letting go doesn’t mean giving up; it means creating the conditions where your body can thrive. Welcome to Get Pregnant Naturally, hosted by fertility expert and founder Sarah Clark. On this podcast, you’ll learn how to improve egg quality, boost ovarian reserve, and optimize your body for conception, even if you’ve been told “it’s too late” or “donor eggs are your only option.” Sarah shares the exact strategies, testing, lifestyle changes, and insights she’s used with clients to help women with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, recurrent miscarriage and poor egg quality conceive naturally or with IVF. You’ll hear the wins, the setbacks, and the science-backed lessons that truly move the needle on fertility. Wanna improve your egg quality? Click here.
