Fertility Myths — What Hormones, Stress, and Lifestyle Are Really Telling Us About Our Health
Fertility isn’t just about getting pregnant — it’s one of the clearest mirrors of overall health. In this episode of Wellness in Every Season, I’m joined by Dr. Amma, naturopathic doctor and founder of Holistic Fertility Doctor, to break down the biggest fertility myths keeping people stuck, confused, and often treating symptoms instead of root causes.
Dr. Amma explains why infertility is not a diagnosis — it’s a signal. We dive into how hormone imbalances, chronic stress, toxin exposure, gut health, sleep disruption, and lifestyle habits quietly shut down reproductive health in both women and men. You’ll learn why birth control often masks underlying issues instead of fixing them, how fibroids and irregular cycles are messages from the body (not random problems), and why men’s testosterone and sperm health are declining at alarming rates.
We also unpack the truth about age and fertility, the myth of the “35 cliff,” and how living a fertility-supportive lifestyle can protect hormones long-term — even easing the transition into perimenopause and menopause.
If you’ve ever struggled with cycles, energy, hormones, fertility, or been told “everything looks normal” while your body says otherwise, this conversation will shift how you understand wellness.
