Are you feeling anxious about when to have kids? Worried that you're too old—or running out of time? You’re not alone. The pressure around “the right age” to conceive has created a fertility panic that leaves many women feeling misinformed and fearful. But the truth? Your journey to motherhood is deeply personal—and much more complex than a single number on your birth certificate.

In this powerful and compassionate episode, I break down the real fertility timeline and share a holistic framework that empowers you to make the best decision for YOUR body and YOUR life.

👩‍⚕️ I’ve supported women between the ages of 25 and 45+ on their fertility journeys, and the patterns are clear: Your age is only one piece of the puzzle. What matters more? Your biological age, hormone health, lifestyle, stress resilience, and life readiness.

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.
