  • How to Get Pregnant with Low AMH | How to Improve Egg Quality in 40+ women
    Nov 17 2025
    You've been told your AMH is too low or that your egg quality isn't good enough, especially if you're over 40. But AMH doesn't define your fertility; it's a reflection of ovarian reserve, not your ability to conceive. In this episode, we explore how a functional fertility approach can help you uncover the real reasons AMH is low and how to support your eggs, hormones, and body so you can move forward with confidence whether naturally or with IVF. You'll Learn: What AMH really measures and why many women with low AMH still conceive once key systems are supported. The underlying causes that lower AMH: inflammation, gut health, blood-sugar imbalance, thyroid/adrenal dysfunction, and nutrient depletion. Which functional labs reveal what conventional testing often misses (GI-MAP, DUTCH, micronutrients). How to support egg quality after 40 through personalized nutrition, targeted supplements, toxin reduction, and nervous-system regulation. When IVF fits best and how preparing your body 3–6 months in advance can improve response, embryo quality, and implantation. Inspiring success stories, including Samantha (age 44, AMH 0.02 ng/mL), who conceived naturally after addressing gut infections, insulin resistance, and stress. This episode is especially for you if: You've been told your AMH is low and want to understand what that really means for your fertility. You're in your late 30s or 40s and want evidence-based ways to support egg quality naturally. You're unsure if IVF is the next step and want clarity before investing time, money, and hope. Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally.

  • The Shocking Truth About POI and Autoimmune Diseases
    Oct 27 2025
    What if your Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) wasn't just about your ovaries but about your immune system turning against them? Most women with POI are told it's simply early menopause. The conversation stops at hormone replacement or donor eggs. But new research shows that for many women, POI has autoimmune roots. When that's the case, treatment, prognosis, and even pregnancy potential all look very different. In this episode, we explore how the immune system can drive POI, the red flags most doctors miss, and which labs uncover what's really happening inside your body. You'll also hear how a functional fertility approach can calm immune dysfunction and support natural ovarian activity. You'll learn: The latest evidence connecting autoimmunity and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Red flags that suggest POI may be immune-driven rather than purely ovarian The key labs to request for thyroid, gut, and immune system assessment Why conventional HRT isn't enough and how bioidentical hormones fit in Functional fertility strategies that support hormone balance and ovarian function Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and the host of Get Pregnant Naturally.
