Understanding Fertility Hormones

Hey, it's Dr. Aumatma, host of Egg Meets Sperm, your go-to podcast for holistic fertility advice! In today’s episode, we dive into an insightful conversation about fertility, hormone testing, and the importance of understanding your body’s unique needs on the path to conception. I share my personal journey into fertility medicine, how I became passionate about supporting others in their fertility journeys, and some of the key science-based insights I’ve gathered along the way.

We cover the essential hormone tests like FSH, LH, estradiol, and AMH that are crucial for fertility, and how to properly interpret these results to optimize your chances of conceiving. I also discuss how toxins, stress, and mindset can deeply impact fertility and offer actionable tips to start making positive changes today!
