Egg Meets Sperm The Fertility Breakthrough Doctors Overlook: How Methylation Impacts Conception, IVF, and Egg Quality
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.
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.
👉 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.
