Told Donor Eggs at 43? Pregnant Naturally with Low AMH11 May 202600:13:21

Low AMH, high FSH, two miscarriages, told donor eggs were her only option. At 43, she conceived naturally. Here's what her clinic missed before the donor egg recommendation.

This episode is for the woman sitting with a donor egg recommendation. Low AMH or high FSH on the chart. Failed IVF or recurrent miscarriage in the history. A clinic that said the numbers leave you no other options.

Sarah Clark walks through the case of a 43-year-old client whose REI told her IVF or donor eggs were her only realistic path. Her FSH was 13.6. Her AMH was low. She had two pregnancy losses behind her. The diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve was not wrong. The numbers were what they were. What had not happened was a structured investigation of why those numbers looked the way they did and whether the rest of the picture had been missed.

Eighteen months later, she was pregnant naturally with her own eggs.

What the clinic had not investigated was a long list. Her TSH was 3. Accepted as normal, but well above the range her own REI would have flagged before IVF prep. A full thyroid panel was never run.

Her stool DNA test showed H. pylori, an infection that impairs nutrient absorption and drives inflammation. She had been gluten-free everywhere else for years, but she had been taking a weekly communion wafer every Sunday without realizing it counted. The cabergoline she was on was lowering her cholesterol and impairing her ability to make sex hormones.

Her male partner had not been worked up. His semen analysis showed low volume and low concentration. His blood sugar was elevated. His kidney markers showed stress.

The vaginal microbiome had not been tested. The seminal microbiome had not been tested. Her night sweats and disrupted sleep had been mentioned and dismissed.

Her case is not a guarantee that anyone else will get the same outcome. Every case is different. The patterns we found in hers may not be the patterns in yours. But the principle holds: a diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve, low AMH, or high FSH is a starting point for further investigation, not a complete picture of what is possible.

What this episode covers:

  • Why low AMH and high FSH are not the complete picture when donor eggs are recommended
  • Why a TSH of 3 is not normal for fertility even when a clinic accepts it
  • How H. pylori, hidden gluten, and gut infections affect egg quality and miscarriage risk
  • What a full male partner workup looks like when there has been pregnancy loss or implantation failure
  • What a structured second opinion covers when you have been told IVF or donor eggs are your only path

This episode is for you if:

  • You have low AMH, high FSH, or a diminished ovarian reserve diagnosis
  • You have had a failed IVF cycle, recurrent miscarriage, or implantation failure
  • You have been told donor eggs are your next step and you are not ready to agree before you understand what was actually evaluated
  • You are in your late 30s or 40s and want to understand whether natural pregnancy with your own eggs is still possible

About the Host

Sarah Clark is the founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally: A Functional Fertility Second Opinion, a podcast with over one million downloads.

For over a decade, Sarah and her functional fertility team have worked with couples navigating low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, failed IVF, embryo arrest, implantation failure, and recurrent pregnancy loss, reviewing functional labs and patterns that standard care often misses.

This episode is a re-aired case study originally shared in 2025. Client details have been anonymized.

Why Iron Could Be Behind Your Low AMH, Failed IVF and Miscarriage04 May 202600:37:47

Most women with low AMH and high FSH get one of two answers about their iron: "it's fine," or "it's low, here's a supplement." Both leave the real problem untouched. Failed transfers, failed IVF cycles, miscarriage, irregular cycles, exhaustion that won't lift, and nobody asking why the iron is low in the first place. This episode shows you what the full iron panel actually reveals.

In this episode, Sarah Clark sits down with Fab Fertile clinical advisor Katy Bradbury (registered nurse and nutritional therapist) to break down the iron panel every woman trying to conceive should be looking at. Not just the one number your doctor checked, but the full picture. They get into why the standard iron prescription is one of the worst forms you can take, why high dose iron can actually make things worse, and why symptoms you've been told are unrelated (brittle nails, cold hands, hair loss, ice cravings, exhaustion) could all be pointing at the same thing.

What you'll learn:

  • The full iron panel every woman trying to conceive should request, and what the numbers actually mean
  • Why being told "your iron is fine" off one number is missing the picture
  • The link between low iron and failed transfers, miscarriage, irregular periods, and pregnancy complications
  • Why low iron is so common with low AMH, high FSH, DOR, and POI
  • The thyroid and iron connection most doctors miss, especially with Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism
  • Hidden reasons your iron is low even when you're eating well: gut infections, H. pylori, SIBO, low stomach acid, celiac, heavy periods
  • Why the standard iron prescription often makes you constipated, nauseous, and no better off
  • What to take instead, and why every other day often works better than every day
  • Iron rich foods that actually move the needle, plus the foods and drinks blocking your absorption without you knowing
  • The thyroid medication timing rule nobody tells you about

This conversation is for women navigating low AMH, high FSH, DOR, or POI who have been told their iron is fine without anyone running the full panel. It's also for women who have been on iron supplements for years without anyone asking why the iron got low to begin with, and for anyone who has had a failed transfer, a miscarriage, or a failed IVF cycle and is trying to figure out what was missed.

Why Your IVF Cycle Was Decided 90 Days Before It Started02 Mar 202600:08:35

Most couples do not walk into IVF lightly.

By the time you reach a cycle, you have likely changed your diet, added supplements, tried acupuncture, adjusted your lifestyle, and done everything you were told might help.

And yet, stimulation begins, and the outcome feels underwhelming.

Here's the biological reality: egg and sperm development are influenced during the 90 days before a cycle ever starts. Follicles recruited at stimulation were already developing months earlier. During that window, metabolic signaling, inflammatory load, hormonal communication, and stress physiology quietly set the ceiling for response.

When outcomes disappoint, protocols are often adjusted. Doses increase. Supplements stack. Timelines shorten.

But stimulation does not create egg quality. It recruits what has already been developing.

In this episode, we clarify the difference between preparing for IVF and auditing biological readiness so your next decision is informed, not reactive.

In this episode, you'll learn:
  • Why egg and sperm quality are shaped months before retrieval

  • How metabolic instability and inflammation influence follicle recruitment

  • Why adding support without removing interference often changes very little

  • The difference between execution and systems readiness

  • How a functional systems lens protects time, energy, and future cycles

I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork.

If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.

Why A Mineral Deficiency Matters When You Are Trying To Conceive with Terra Vitiello10 Jun 202400:52:11

We're digging into what mineral levels mean for your fertility.

Minerals are the body's spark plugs and are essential for reproductive health.

But poor diet, alcohol, medications, and stress can deplete your vital mineral stores.

So, if you have brittle hair/nails, mouth ulcers/cracks in the corners of your lips, bleeding gums, poor night vision, dandruff, fatigue, weakness, red bumps on the skin, restless leg syndrome, dry skin, or hair loss (frankly, the list goes on…) there may be a mineral deficiency.

The right balance of minerals in our body is essential for optimal health.

I know you've been told that the low AMH and high FSH diagnosis is the end of the line.

However, we are focusing on the wrong biomarkers.

Let's learn how to take simple steps that balance our minerals to restore our reproductive health.

I'm excited to welcome Terra Vitiello. Terra is a Functional Fertility Practitioner who has dedicated her career to helping couples grow their families naturally. She is the creator of the Fertility-Ready Roadmap Program, the author of Before the Bump Supplement Guidebook, and a clinical advisor for the HTMA test.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) The top 7 minerals that impact fertility and how to ensure your body is not deficient

2) What depletes our minerals and simple steps (using diet/lifestyle and targeted supplementation) that can bring our levels into the optimal range (which is essential for reproductive health)

3) How to measure your minerals and what is often missed at your conventional doctor's visit

Essential Tests To Optimize Preconception Health (That Your Doctor Won't Tell You About) with Alexandria DeVito03 Jun 202400:55:07

We're digging into the essential testing needed for preconception health.

It may feel overwhelming when you are trying to conceive with all the contradictory advice out there.

But what if your doctor is missing critical testing that can fast-track your chances of pregnancy success?

It's not about waiting until you've tried for more than one year if you're under 35 or six months if you're over 35. That's outdated advice that only keeps you stuck.

It's about taking charge of your health now to optimize preconception health and get pregnant.

So, what tests will help you understand your reproductive health so you can prepare your body in the best way for your baby?

I'm excited to welcome Alexandria DeVito to the podcast. Alexandria is the CEO of Poplin, the first pre-pregnancy wellness company of its kind, and a functional nutritionist specializing in fertility and preconception health.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) What tests to ask for if you're planning to get pregnant

2) Our take on AMH testing and which markers are more important to test

3) Which biomarkers you need to ask to be tested (these are regularly missed), and why they are so crucial for preconception health

How To Increase AMH Levels Naturally Before Starting IVF27 May 202400:38:36

We're digging into how to know if IVF is the next step if you have low AMH/high FSH.

Most of us focus on the AMH and FSH levels.

After all, your REI may have told you that IVF is your only hope.

But what if there was a proven method to naturally improve AMH and FSH levels?

A method that, when followed, dramatically increases pregnancy success with your own eggs.

What we see with low AMH and/or high FSH when a couple selects IVF (without making targeted diet/lifestyle changes) is cancelled cycles, poor response to medications, poor embryo quality, and miscarriages.

Couples share these stories with me daily.

I don't want you to go through the emotional and financial heartache of failed IVF.

Let's discuss how to know if/when IVF is right for you if you have low AMH and/or high FSH.

 

This episode is for you if:

You've tried diet/lifestyle changes, and you feel like IVF is the next step

You're not sure how to optimize successful IVF

You feel like something is being missed, but your REI keeps telling you that you're running out of time

You've already experienced failed IVF, and they want to rush you again to another retrieval and/or transfer (sometimes with the same protocol)

You feel hesitant to rush back in again without making targeted changes to your health

What Hair Loss Has To Do With Preconception Health and How To Restore Your Hair and Fertility with Julie Olson13 May 202400:40:08

We're digging into what thinning/shedding hair means for reproductive health.

Being told that hair shedding or thinning is normal is frustrating, especially when trying to conceive.

If you notice a noticeable change in your hair, this is a clue to examine your health more closely.

It's not about selecting the right shampoo or serum (although this can help). It's about determining why your hair is shedding or thinning in the first place.

Medical gaslighting is real, and being told changes in your hair are normal (nothing to worry about) is not helpful.

If you are TTC and your hair is experiencing changes, it's time to figure out why so you can improve your hair and your fertility.

I'm excited to welcome Julie Olson to the podcast. Julie is a triple-certified nutritionist and functional medicine expert, named a "Top 23 Expert to Watch in the Health & Wellness Space" by the Los Angeles Tribune Magazine, host of the "Healthy Body, Healthy Hair: The Truth About Hair Loss" summit.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) What is normal hair shedding, and what type of hair loss needs to be investigated further

2) Reasons for hair loss and solutions to help (once addressed, this improves pregnancy success, too).

3) Biomarkers to ensure are optimal to prevent hair loss and restore hair growth

4) Nutrition, supplements, serums and shampoo to help with hair loss

Why Getting To The Bottom of Your Anxiety Can Optimize Fertility and Improve Pregnancy Success with Dr. Traci Potterf06 May 202400:48:51

We're digging into anxiety and how this impacts reproductive health.

A theme we see with low AMH and high FSH is mood problems such as anxiety.

There can be situational anxiety from being on the fertility journey, such as feeling worried, overwhelmed or impatient.

And there can also be anxiety that we may have dealt with our whole lives.

We get hyper-focused on our mental health diagnosis, and this may be a clue as to why we are struggling to conceive.

When we rebalance the nervous system, our reproductive health comes back into balance.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Traci Potterf to the podcast. Dr Traci is a Functional Health anxiety detective. She helps growth-minded professionals overwhelmed by anxiety to find and fix the hidden causes with natural solutions so they can live a limitless life at peace in their own skin.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) Why the gut-brain connection matters for someone on the fertility journey, and why the gut is referred to as the second brain

2) The most common causes of anxiety (we discuss factors that influence brain health, such as digestion, microbiome imbalances/infections, blood sugar imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid problems, hormone imbalance and nutrient deficiencies) and why this matters if you are trying to get pregnant naturally

3) The conventional approach to treat anxiety and how the functional approach can begin to regulate the nervous system and balance your mood (which helps with reproductive health)

Why Addressing Psoriasis, Acne, Rashes & Eczema Can Improve Pregnancy Success with Sururat Coulibaly29 Apr 202400:45:19

We're digging into how skin conditions impact your ability to conceive.

If you're struggling with skin issues such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, rashes or hives, this is a clue for you when you're TTC.

The body does not work in silos even though conventional medicine has us believe that we need to see a different specialist (i.e. dermatologist, REI, gastroenterologist etc.) for every ailment, and no one stops to think it's all connected.

Skin conditions are a HUGE clue as to why you may struggle to conceive.

It is time to look at your whole body and not just treat the skin condition with topical creams and medication that does not address the underlying reason (hence, the skin issue just comes back).

The skin is a reflection of the gut microbiome, and the gut is highly tied to the health of the ovaries.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Sururat Coulibaly. Sururat is a mother, enthusiastic traveller, and functional wellness practitioner and coach who specializes in skin wellness. She founded The Holistic Skin Coach and Celebrate Wellness and developed the "Clear Skin Reset Program."

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) What skin conditions mean for fertility and how to address them (which ultimately improves reproductive health)

2) How food sensitivities impact skin health and why nutrient deficiencies are commonly missed

3) Some hidden root causes of chronic skin rashes such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and hives. 

4) What biomarkers you need to know about that can shift the needle that your dermatologist will not tell you about

Why Genomic Testing Can Help With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Birth Outcomes and Preconception Health with Helen Gautschi22 Apr 202400:55:53

We're digging into genetic testing to improve pregnancy success and prevent or decrease the risk of pregnancy loss.

At Fab Fertile, we've been offering genetic/genomic testing as part of our method for years.

This genetic testing is very different from the testing you would receive from your conventional doctor.

Our genetic testing looks at specific gene variants and makes specific diet/lifestyle recommendations and supplements that can support your genes. Your genes are not your destiny, and there are targeted steps you can take to optimize your fertility and pregnancy success.

I'm excited to announce that we have an even better genetic test that helps improve pregnancy outcomes.

Designed to improve preconception health, birth outcomes, recurrent miscarriage, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, the GrowBaby test identifies pathways that need support and helps us determine a customized plan based on your DNA.

I'm excited to welcome Helen Gautschi to the podcast. Helen is a registered dietician (SA) and holds a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics (Honours) degree from Stellenbosch University in South Africa. She is also the Head of Research and Development and Education at DNAlife, which offers the GrowBaby genetic test.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) How the GrowBaby test can improve birth outcomes and decrease the risk for preeclampsia and gestational hypertension and diabetes and miscarriage or pregnancy loss

2) How to support each pathway with specific diet/lifestyle and supplement recommendations

3) Why the preconception period is critical and specific steps you can take to improve healthy birth outcomes

Why A Healthy Liver Matters For Fertility15 Apr 202400:49:09

We're digging into how to improve liver health and what you need to know when you are TTC.

One of the themes we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is a sluggish liver.

If your liver is not functioning properly, it may not be able to remove estrogen from your body. This leads to estrogen reabsorption, which results in hormone imbalance.

Some signs of a sluggish liver include fatigue, headaches, poor digestion, cravings, weight gain around the middle and more.

So how do we get our liver in tip-top shape to balance hormones and get pregnant naturally?

Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is our clinical advisor and an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility, your body is desperately trying to tell you something. Focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or, if you do need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) Why a healthy liver is important when you are TTC

2) Which genetic variants are tied to the liver (and how to support them so you can optimize liver function)

3) Symptoms of poor liver function and specific blood markers to review to ensure they are in the optimal range

4) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations for a healthy liver

Day 3 vs Day 5 Embryo Arrest: What the Timing Really Means23 Feb 202600:07:51

Poor embryo development is not random. And "it just didn't work" is not an explanation.

If your embryos stopped growing on Day 3 or Day 5, you've likely been told some version of the same thing. Bad luck. Egg quality. Try again.

But Day 3 vs Day 5 embryo arrest are not interchangeable events.

The timing carries biological clues. And when those clues are ignored, couples often repeat cycles without addressing what actually shaped the outcome.

In this episode, we break down what early arrest, later arrest, and repeating arrest patterns may be signaling and how to think more clearly before your next attempt.

In this episode, you'll learn:
  • Why Day 3 embryo arrest often reflects maternal energy and developmental support patterns

  • Why Day 5 embryo arrest often leans toward paternal or combined biological coordination

  • How sperm contribution becomes more influential as embryo activation progresses

  • Why repeating embryo arrest is usually a shared systems pattern, not a single isolated issue

  • How to use embryo timing as data instead of accepting vague explanations

I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork.

If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.

👉 Start with a Functional Fertility Second Opinion
If you want an expert review of your labs, IVF history, and full health picture to identify patterns being missed, this is the smartest first step before another cycle.

How To Advocate For A Safer Birth When You Are TTC with Gina Mundy01 Apr 202400:42:51

We're digging into safer childbirth and how to prepare for the birth of your baby.

Years ago, when I had my children, no one was talking about doulas, midwives or how to advocate for yourself during childbirth.

I remember taking a childbirth class and some Lamaze breathing with a coach, which was about it.

I didn't know that if I wasn't happy with my care in the hospital, I could speak up.

Fortunately for me, everything went well during the birth process for both my children (even though they were both born via c-section and labour was very long).

Did you know that more than 250,000 people in the United States die every year due to medical mistakes?

We are in charge of our health, and we have to advocate for what we need.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Gina Mundy to the podcast. Gina Mundy is an attorney who specializes in childbirth cases. For over two decades, she has analyzed the mistakes made during labour and delivery. Drawing on this knowledge, she has authored the book A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) The most common problems that occur during childbirth and how YOU can help prevent them

2) Labour and delivery lingo you NEED to know to communicate with your delivery team

3) The RIGHT way to pick your doctor and hospital for a less stressful delivery

4) Tips for when your delivery team is NOT at your bedside

5) The EASY way to determine how your baby is doing at any point during labour

6) How to create the ULTIMATE birth plan for keeping both you and your baby safe

Weight Loss Hacks To Improve Pregnancy Success with Louise Digby25 Mar 202400:47:26

We're digging into how to address weight loss as you prepare for pregnancy success.

Losing weight is easier said than done. Like most people, you've probably tried A LOT of things to lose weight.

Someone may even have told you that weight loss is necessary for you to conceive or move forward with IVF.

We may even blame ourselves when nothing works and feel frustrated.

But what if there were specific steps you could take now that didn't involve calorie deprivation or working out all the time?

After all, fueling your body with the right foods can reduce inflammation, which can help you lose weight.

Today, we're breaking down the top steps to improve pregnancy success (especially if you need to lose weight to conceive).

I'm excited to welcome Louise Digby to the podcast. Louise is a registered nutritional therapist, women's weight loss expert and founder of The Nourish Method to Lasting Fat Loss.

 

In this episode, you'll learn about:

1) BMI's biggest flaw and why it can waste time

2) Food sensitivities and the link to fertility and weight loss

3) How to balance blood sugar (and why this matters for pregnancy success and weight loss)

4) Gut microbiome health and its role in weight loss (plus the impact of the gut on the ovaries).

5) Being told your thyroid (TSH) is normal, but you still can't shift the weight or get pregnant (what tests to ask your doctor to run)

6) The link between sleep and weight loss and quick tips to improve sleep

Why Your Preconception Health Is Vital For A Healthy Pregnancy and Postpartum Period with Dr. Labib Ghulmiyyah11 Mar 202400:50:51

We're digging into how to improve preconception health when we are TTC.

It feels like we need to rush to medicated cycles, IUI or IVF to fast-track the chances of having our baby.

After all, this is what happens when we receive a diagnosis of low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency.

At Fab Fertile, we're not anti-IVF; we're pro-health.

When we move prematurely to IVF, we miss crucial steps to work on our health.

During the preconception period, we are in a very powerful position to make targeted changes that positively impact our fertility and our child's health.

But what are the exact steps we need to take right now?

Dr. Labib Ghulmiyyah is Board-certified in OBGYN/Maternal Fetal Medicine and Functional Medicine and is part of Fab Fertile as our medical advisor. He's an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) Why the preconception period is so crucial for postpartum health and the health of your child

2) Complications during pregnancy and how to be your own health advocate

3) Postpartum symptoms and understanding baby blues vs true postpartum depression

4) Functional lab tests that can help improve preconception and postpartum health

5) Factors that influence low milk supply and what you can do

6) How to minimize toxin exposure and supplements to help with detoxification

What Biomarkers Are Needed To Determine When To Start IVF (Especially If You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH)04 Mar 202400:38:02

We're digging into how to know if IVF is next step if you have low AMH and/or high FSH.

What we see with low AMH/high FSH when a couple selects IVF (without making targeted diet/lifestyle changes) is cancelled cycles, poor response to medications, poor embryo quality, and miscarriages.

This is financially and emotionally devastating.

So what is the fast track to getting pregnant with low AMH and/or high FSH?

The fast track is taking a targeted approach with your health.

You'll either get pregnant naturally or improve the chances of IVF success.

Sometimes IVF is necessary. So how do we know when/if IVF is the right next step?

What biomarkers do we need to know to be able to make an informed decision about whether IVF is our next step?

 

This episode is for you if:

1) You've tried diet/lifestyle changes, and you feel like IVF is the next step

2) You're not sure how to optimize for successful IVF

3) You feel like something is being missed, but your REI keeps telling you that you're running out of time

4) You've already experienced failed IVF, and they want to rush you to another retrieval and/or transfer (sometimes with the same protocol)

5) You feel hesitant to rush back in again without making targeted changes to your health

How To Improve Egg Health When You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH26 Feb 202400:45:16

We're digging into how to improve egg health if you have low AMH and/or high FSH.

Maybe you've been told you have poor egg quality.

You may have experienced irregular menstrual cycles, poor fertilization rates, low AMH, high FSH, low levels of estradiol, chromosomal disorders and pregnancy loss.

This may have sent you down a rabbit hole of information overload.

After all, there is so much generalized information about how to improve egg quality.

But what if there were specific steps you could take right now to improve your egg quality?

It's not about following another egg-quality diet; it's about uncovering the factors that negatively influence your egg health to improve pregnancy success.

Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is our clinical advisor. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to improve conception dramatically. If you are struggling with infertility, your body is desperately trying to tell you something. Focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or, if you do need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) Why your doctor is testing the wrong biomarkers for egg quality

2) The specific diet that helps egg quality

3) How to know if this hormone is impacting egg quality (especially if you have low AMH and/or high FSH)

4) The supplements for egg health (and how not to waste money on supplements)

How These Proven Coping Strategies Can Help Navigate Pregnancy Loss19 Feb 202400:54:03

We're digging into how to navigate pregnancy loss with a focus on mental and emotional well-being.

Women still experience enormous stigma and shame when they lose a baby, and they are often not encouraged to talk about the loss.

This can lead to isolation and disconnection from a partner, family and friends, as well as feeling trapped in grief.

What are the signs of negative coping or even avoidance?

And how do we cope with pregnancy loss when we are still trying to conceive?

Our Fab Fertile Mindset Coaches, Samantha and Fatima, join me today! They are an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to improve conception dramatically. If you are struggling with infertility, your body is desperately trying to tell you something; focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) Signs of avoidance and negative coping after pregnancy loss

2) Understanding grief as it relates to pregnancy loss

3) Coping strategies to help navigate the mental and emotional rollercoaster

4) Book recommendations that touch on grief, isolation, the importance of community and recovery after miscarriage

How To Be Your Own Advocate With Pregnancy Loss12 Feb 202400:40:57

We're digging into medical jargon associated with pregnancy loss.

Navigating the medical system during pregnancy loss can be overwhelming.

That's why we wanted to break down the medical jargon so you can be your own advocate.

Also, you may notice that we use the term pregnancy loss instead of miscarriage.

This is because you did nothing to miscarry your pregnancy.

Pregnancy loss is not your fault.

Let's learn how to navigate the confusing medical jargon associated with pregnancy loss so you can ask for the care that is right for you.

Our Fab Fertile Mindset coaches, Samantha and Fatima, join me today! They are an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to improve conception dramatically. If you are struggling with infertility, your body is desperately trying to tell you something. Focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or, if you do need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success.

 

In this episode, you'll learn about:

1) How we define the different types of pregnancy loss 

2) What goes into diagnosing a pregnancy loss

3) Medication for 1st and 2nd trimester loss

4) Understanding D&C and D&E

5) Mental and emotional strategies for coping

How To Select The Right Supplements To Improve Low AMH and High FSH05 Feb 202400:39:43

We're digging into how to select the correct fertility supplements.

Figuring out which supplements to take to optimize fertility may have you feeling overwhelmed.

You may think you're saving money by getting your supplements on Amazon, but it is essential to prioritize safety and quality over convenience or price.

Many supplements can actually harm our fertility.

They can have fillers, binders, synthetic ingredients, dyes, preservatives and chemical additives.

Also, many supplements contain top allergens like gluten, soy and dairy that can impede the chances of pregnancy success.

So, what are the foundational supplements for fertility, and how do we select the right product for us?

 

In today's episode, you'll learn:

1) Foundational supplements to enhance both male and female fertility

2) Which supplement helps with egg quality, reduces the risk of early miscarriage and helps with the production of healthy sperm

3) Supplements that help with sperm quality and motility

4) How this supplement can balance estrogen for women and testosterone for men - plus increase libido for both sexes

This technique can help with irregular cycles and painful periods.

I'm excited to welcome Luna Hart to the podcast. Luna Hart is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Fertility Awareness Practitioner, and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.

Why Rushing Into the Next IVF Cycle Often Backfires16 Feb 202600:10:07

After a failed IVF cycle, the pressure to move quickly into the next one can feel overwhelming. Clinics often encourage momentum. Emotionally, it can feel safer to stay in motion than to pause.

But rushing into another IVF cycle too quickly can quietly reinforce the same biological conditions that shaped the last outcome.

If you've been told to increase stimulation, change protocols, or "just try again," this episode challenges that reflex. Because before another round begins, the more important question is:

What actually needs to shift in the biology?

In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, we explore why recovery windows matter after a failed IVF cycle and how back-to-back stimulation can compound physiological stress, especially in cases of low AMH, embryo arrest, or recurrent implantation failure.

In this episode, you'll learn:
  • Why stacking IVF cycles too closely can affect cellular energy and egg development

  • How hormonal rhythm and communication break down when recovery time is skipped

  • The hidden impact of inflammation and immune load between cycles

  • Why more medication does not always mean better coordination inside the system

  • How to recognize when repetition is happening without recalibration

IVF is physically and emotionally demanding. Medications, procedures, disrupted sleep, and stress all increase the body's workload. Biology improves during recovery windows, not during nonstop stimulation.

Strategic pauses are not delays. They are opportunities for recalibration.

I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork.

If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.

👉 Start with a Functional Fertility Second Opinion
If you want an expert review of your labs, IVF history, and full health picture to identify patterns being missed, this is the smartest first step before another cycle.

Why Your Oral Microbiome Matters When You Are TTC with Dr Katie Lee22 Jan 202400:39:49

We're digging into why your dental health matters when you are TTC.

The American Dental Association recommends seeing the dentist every six months or an average of twice annually. But it turns out about 25% of the population goes more than five years without visiting a dentist.

A healthy oral microbiome is essential when you are trying to conceive.

Periodontal disease can be linked to egg and sperm health and complications during pregnancy.

Let's discover how oral health may be linked to fertility and what you can do to improve pregnancy success.

I'm excited to welcome Dr. Katie Lee to the podcast. Dr. Katie is a dentist, speaker, author and coach. Dr. Lee authored a book entitled Saved By the Mouth to educate patients and clinicians on the importance of oral health.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) What the studies tell us about oral health and pregnancy success outcomes

2) How periodontal disease may be linked to ovulation and lengthen the time for conception

3) The link between pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, preeclampsia, preterm labour and more

4) When to use mouth taping, favourite toothbrush and why, the final word on mouthwash, plus the right diet for optimal oral health

Top Stressors Impacting Your Fertility15 Jan 202400:40:59

We're digging into how to recognize and address top stressors impacting AMH/FSH.

We all know that life can be stressful, especially when we are TTC.

But how is the stress impacting our ability to conceive?

At Fab Fertile, our thesis is "Is it actually menopause, or is it your adrenals?"

I know the low AMH and/or high FSH diagnosis can lock into our subconscious.

It can make us feel even more stressed and unsure about a path forward.

Many of us have negatively hypnotized ourselves.

Which only leads to more worry and uncertainty about the future.

What if there were specific steps you could take right now to address overwhelm, worry, panic, plus hidden stressors that our doctor hasn't told us about (but when addressed, can be the clue that shifts the needle toward pregnancy success)?

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) How to address mental/emotional stress (we discuss how to manage setting work boundaries, toxic workplace, long hours (anything over 50 hrs/week), toxic relationships and how to strengthen the relationship with your partner

2) How to know if we're in burnout (hint: how you begin your morning will give you a clue, plus one of our favourite tests)

3) Why your conventional doctor will miss physiological stress and how to address this once and for all (and this matters for AMH, FSH and antral follicle count)

The Personalized Proven Diet Steps To Improve Pregnancy Success In 202408 Jan 202400:46:17

We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success.

It's a New Year; now is the perfect time to make diet changes to improve pregnancy success.

A theme we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Gluten is off the charts on our client's food sensitivity tests.

Plus, the body identifies cross reactors with gluten as gluten and mounts an immune response.

If your body is under attack (even by a seemingly healthy food), it wants to survive, not procreate.

An elimination diet is the gold standard to determine if you have a food sensitivity.

We've had people only make diet changes, and they've successfully conceived (even after going through failed IVFs).

But you have to rip off the bandaid and start.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) How to know if your infertility is a symptom of something else going on in your body (Hint – digestive issues, skin problems, mood problems, joint issues and autoimmunity are ALL clues)

2) What is a leaky gut, and why this matters if you are TTC

3) Which foods to avoid during the elimination and how to reintroduce the foods (this part is crucial)

4) Which foods will you eat (it is NOT about starving or drinking green juice)

5) How to commit and actually start the elimination diet (Gluten-light/dairy-light do NOT work)

6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you during an elimination diet

The Best Episodes of 2023 So You Can Get Pregnant In 2024 (Especially If You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH)01 Jan 202400:43:15

We're digging into the best episodes of 2023 so you can improve pregnancy success in 2024.

Happy New Year!

Here's to a fresh start in 2024. I can't wait to see what it brings for you.

As we welcome in the New Year, I want you to have a plan for pregnancy success in 2024.

That's why I've recorded a wrap-up of the best episodes of 2023 from the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast.

I know you may feel pressure from your doctor to start IVF in the New Year.

After all, with low AMH and/or high FSH, you're usually rushed to medicated cycles, IUI, IVF or donor eggs. We're told this is the fast track to having our baby.

But what about the couples that complete 1,2,3,4, or more IVFs and it doesn't work? I speak with couples that, before working with us, have experienced failed IVF and the emotional and financial heartbreak is real.

How To Be Your Own Advocate With Your Doctor To Improve Pregnancy Success with Jane Gleeson25 Dec 202300:45:53

We're digging into what being your own advocate when you are TTC.

I know we're in an era that tells us to trust the doctors, but it's essential to be your own advocate.

Remember, you know your body best.

Conventional medicine is very effective in addressing acute illness or injury.

But, for chronic illness or disease, the approach is ineffective and falls short.

It's the pill for an ill approach. That has us going down a road of medication that never actually addresses why we can't conceive in the first place.

That's why we need to assemble a team around us when we're on the fertility journey.

And we are in the center.

We are the conductor of our own healing.

This is a very powerful position. But it can also make us second guess our intuition.

After all, medical gaslighting is real.

So how do we understand our blood markers, know what the tests really mean for our fertility and be our own advocate?

I'm excited to welcome Jane Gleeson to the podcast. Jane is an RN, Acupuncturist, and fertility expert. Jane has cared for hundreds of women at all stages of trying to conceive and build their families.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) How to navigate the fertility journey on your terms and be your own advocate

2) What role does stress have in your fertility journey

3) What are some strategies to use to track our cycle, when to start IVF and should we consider acupuncture

Spiritual Forecast for 2024 To Cultivate Hope and Pregnancy Success18 Dec 202300:41:35

We're digging into how to cultivate hope when you have low AMH/high FSH.

As we prepare for 2024, how do we cultivate hope for the New Year?

This year may have been the year you planned to have your baby.

Maybe you've been through failed IVF(s), cancelled cycles, been told you're a poor responder or suffered pregnancy loss.

It can be a difficult journey, and many times, we may even negatively hypnotize ourselves and not be able to see a positive path forward.

But what if we could start to exercise that spiritual muscle?

The voice inside that tells us not to give up.

We can start to ignite hope.

So, what steps can we take right now to lean into trust, calmness and peace?

We're connecting to the wisdom and magic of a favourite card deck and giving you the 2024 spiritual forecast.

I'm excited to welcome Nichole Causey back to the podcast. Nichole is a Reiki Master specializing in manifestation, self-love, confidence, trusting intuition, and fulfilling desires.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) How to move from catastrophizing, anxiety and worry to cultivating hope

2) What to do if you feel you've negatively hypnotized yourself

3) How to trust your intuition and stop asking everyone else what you should do next

4) The spiritual forecast for 2024 so that you can manifest pregnancy success

How To Improve Pregnancy Success With Donor Eggs with Adele O'Connor11 Dec 202300:43:33

We're digging into donor eggs and what you need to know if you've selected this option.

As you may know, I had both my kids with donor eggs. I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) over 25 years ago. And 25 years later, in conventional medicine, the recommendation for POI is either to rush to IVF or go straight to donor eggs.

What I know for sure is there are targeted steps we can take to improve pregnancy success with your eggs when we address underlying healing opportunities using functional medicine and functional nutrition.

However, we may decide that donor eggs are the best option.

We've helped many couples get pregnant using donor eggs (after they've made targeted changes to their health). After all, donor eggs are not a guarantee of pregnancy success. A healthy foundation for both partners must be established first.

But what about the emotional aspect of selecting donor eggs to grow your family?

How do we navigate the journey to pregnancy success when we've selected donor eggs as our next step?

I'm excited to welcome Adele O'Connor to the podcast. Adele is a fertility coach and podcast host of Donor Egg Mama. She supports intended parents considering a donor egg pathway to break free from overwhelm and guide them to a place of calm confidence to move forward and build their families.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) The biggest mindset hurdles for women who select donor eggs (i.e. will I bond with my baby?)

2) Advice to couples beginning their donor egg journey

3) How to improve pregnancy success with donor eggs

How To Avoid These Top 10 Mistakes If You Have Low AMH/High FSH04 Dec 202300:41:04

We're digging into how to improve pregnancy success in 2024 when you have low AMH and/or high FSH.

As we come to the end of the year, I want you to have a plan for 2024 so that you can have your baby.

I know firsthand how hard it can be when you receive a diagnosis of low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian reserve.

That's why I developed the Fab Fertile Method.

I don't want you to struggle as I did.

I want you to have a proven plan that sets you up for pregnancy success.

So before you head to IVF or muddle through this by yourself, I want to share the ten common mistakes we see when someone has low AMH and/or high FSH so you can get pregnant and have your baby in 2024.

This episode is for you if:

- You've tried everything, and nothing has worked to improve AMH or FSH.

- You're not sure what to do for 2024 to optimize your fertility, but you know your doctor is missing something.

- You feel like IVF may be your next step, but you want to get pregnant naturally.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) The top 10 mistakes we see with low AMH/high FSH so you can avoid them and fast-track your chances of pregnancy success

2) Why AMH is a poor predictor of pregnancy success and what you need to focus on instead to shift the needle and optimize your fertility

3) Why you need to do this step first BEFORE starting PRP ovarian rejuvenation

4) Why going to IVF too early can set you back, and how to know when it is time for IVF

What Anemia Really Means For Low AMH/High FSH27 Nov 202300:45:32

We're digging into iron panels and what you need to know when you are TTC.

What we commonly see with low AMH/high FSH is iron deficiency.

And it's more than just taking an iron supplement.

Because many people don't absorb iron properly or have heavy periods and gut issues that negatively impact iron levels.

Bottom line if you have amenorrhea, anovulation (the lack of ovulation), poor egg health, ovulatory disorder, and have experienced miscarriage its time to dig deeper into the full iron panel.

So how do we address iron deficiency to improve our chances of pregnancy success?

In this episode you'll learn:
- Symptoms of low iron and why this matters for fertility
- Functional reference ranges for the iron panel (hint: a conventional physician may have told you that your iron ranges are "normal" – but has a healing opportunity been missed?)
- Reasons WHY your iron markers are out of balance (i.e. gut infections, autoimmunity, low stomach acid and more)
- Medications and foods that interfere with iron absorption
- Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to improve iron markers

Beginner's Guide to Going Toxin-Free When TTC with Anna Rapp20 Nov 202300:57:47

We are living in a toxic soup filled with chemicals.

When we're TTC, switching to non-toxic products is essential.

We don't recommend throwing everything out because that can cause more stress.

As each product expires, you can replace it with a non-toxic option.

Except for your feminine hygiene and fragrances  - swap those out immediately - hint: those pumpkin spice candles release harmful PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) associated with reproductive issues.

Studies have linked PAH exposure to reduced sperm count, lower concentration, abnormal shape, and decreased mobility.

Additionally, various chemicals such as phthalates, SVOCs, BHT, and parabens have the potential to disrupt hormones, which is particularly concerning for individuals trying to conceive or those who are pregnant.

So, where do we start?

We're excited to share a beginner's guide to going toxin-free as you prepare for pregnancy success.

I'm excited to welcome Anna Rapp to the podcast. Anna is the chief blogger at the popular fertility site To Make A Mommy.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) The difference between non-toxic, low-tox, green living, clean living

2) Advise on how to swap out your personal care products

3) How to know which cookware is best

4) Our favourite air purifier, water filter, mattress and cleaning products

Recurrent Implantation Failure: Why the Explanation Often Feels Incomplete09 Feb 202600:12:17

If you've been told your embryos look good, your lining is appropriate, and your hormones are in range, yet implantation keeps failing, it can leave you with a nagging feeling that something is missing, but you can't quite put your finger on it.

Most couples don't repeat IVF or transfers casually. They follow the plan that's laid out, adjust protocols, and keep moving forward because that's what makes sense. When outcomes don't change, the explanation often shifts to chance, timing, or trying again.

In this episode, we talk about why those explanations often feel unsatisfying, and why implantation failure can persist even when everything looks reasonable on paper. Not because you haven't done enough, but because the full picture may never have been looked at all at once.

This conversation is about stepping back and asking better questions before moving forward again.

In this episode, we explore:
  • Why "good embryos" and "normal labs" don't always translate into implantation

  • How focusing on individual results can miss what's happening across the whole system

  • Why changing protocols doesn't always address repeat outcomes

  • The kinds of patterns that tend to go unexplored when everything looks fine

  • How to think more clearly about whether another cycle is actually the next step

Rather than offering another checklist or protocol, this episode helps you zoom out and understand why implantation is rarely a single-factor issue.

I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork.

If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.

👉 Start with a Functional Fertility Second Opinion
If you want an expert review of your labs, IVF history, and full health picture to identify patterns being missed, this is the smartest first step before another cycle.

Why Your Gut Microbiome Matters for Low AMH and High FSH13 Nov 202300:51:28

We're digging into stool testing and what it means for fertility and low AMH/high FSH.

When you are dealing with low AMH and or high FSH, the last place your REI will look is the health of your gut.

The health of your gut is directly tied to the health of your ovaries.

And if you have an infection, no amount of clean eating will matter.

The infection needs to be addressed.

It may be tempting to use an anti-parasitic or anti-fungal to address an infection, but that will wipe out all the good and bad bacteria, making a longer road to repairing the gut.

We are not against medication (sometimes it is needed); however, a targeted supplement protocol will address the infections while maintaining the health of the gut.

So, how do we identify and address the infection to improve pregnancy success?

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) The conventional medicine approach to gut infections and what is regularly missed (plus, we discuss our favourite stool test in detail)

2) Top infections we see with low AMH and/or high FSH

3) How to know if you have a leaky gut and why this matters for fertility

4) Why DIY wastes time with addressing infections and how to fast-track pregnancy success

Why Low AMH/High FSH May Not Be Menopause - It Could Be This Instead06 Nov 202300:35:52

In this episode, we dig into navigating the holiday season with low AMH/high FSH.

The fertility journey can be all-encompassing, and the holiday season can be challenging.

Visiting friends and family and seeing coworkers who ask that intrusive and annoying question, "Do you have kids yet?"

The pressure of the season may have you feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. So many of us have been on the TTC journey for years. The stress can start to sneak up on you, impacting your biochemistry.

As I've shared before, maybe the low AMH/high FSH is not a sign of menopause; it's that your adrenals are struggling.

So what can we do about it?

 

This episode is for you:

1) You're constantly getting asked by family and friends - when will you have your baby

2) Not sure what to do for 2024 to optimize your fertility

3) You need an action plan so that you can tell people to mind their own business

4) You wonder if low AMH/high FSH is menopause or maybe your doctor is missing an underlying healing opportunity

How To Know If IVF Is Your Next Step When You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH30 Oct 202300:38:26

We're digging into how to know if IVF is the next step if you have low AMH/high FSH.

I know you've been told that IVF is the only way forward when you have low AMH and/or high FSH.

You may have been told that time is of the essence and you need to rush to IVF.

We are not anti-IVF.

We are pro-health.

You can't skip working on health.

I know you've already done a lot of work on your health. Most people have already tried naturally and made some generalized diet and lifestyle recommendations before IVF.

What we see with low AMH/high FSH when a couple selects IVF (without making targeted diet/lifestyle changes) is cancelled cycles, poor response to medications, poor embryo quality, and miscarriages.

Couples share these stories with me daily.

I don't want you to get through the emotional and financial heartache of failed IVF.

What if there was a way to know when IVF is right for you?

A way to improve your chances of it working.

Recovering From Chronic Illness and How To Boost Pregnancy Success with Allison Samon23 Oct 202300:48:16

We're digging into recovering from chronic illness while TTC.

The conventional medicine approach for dealing with chronic illness and autoimmune disease is to prescribe medication.

This approach has us chasing symptoms and does not address the underlying cause.

One of the themes we see with low AMH and high FSH is autoimmunity. One autoimmune disease will predispose you to another autoimmune disease.

We see so many people who have a chronic illness or autoimmunity and have been referred to IVF or donor eggs, and the retrieval or transfer has failed.

It is not about pushing your body and doing another IVF.

We've been led to believe that IVF is the fast track.

The real fast track addresses your health, so a functional approach is uniquely positioned to optimize pregnancy success.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Allison Samon to the podcast. Allison is a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner who works virtually with people to get out of chronic illness, escape from mystery symptoms, and help re-design their lifestyle so they can be fit, energized, and pain-free in easy, fun, and sustainable ways.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) The conventional medicine approach for chronic illness and autoimmunity

2) How working on food sensitivities, gut infections, and stressors can begin the healing process back to health and optimal fertility

3) How to be your own advocate so that you can improve pregnancy success

Biggest Diet Mistakes with Low AMH or High FSH and How To Improve Pregnancy Success16 Oct 202300:32:43

We're digging into common mistakes we make with diet for low AMH/high FSH.

It can be confusing to know where to start to improve your diet when you have low AMH and/or high FSH.

I know you've probably asked your OB/GYN or REI about the importance of diet, and they may have told you that diet might help, but it's not an essential part of the equation.

This may have you second-guessing what approach to take.

I don't want you to waste time making the wrong changes or give up on diet changes because you're unsure if it's even worth the effort.

I'm breaking down the top 3 mistakes we see when someone makes diet changes and what you can do right now to improve pregnancy success.

This episode is for you:

- You've tried diet changes, and nothing has worked

- You're not sure what to do to optimize your fertility

- You feel like IVF may be your next step, but you really want to get pregnant naturally

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) What health symptoms to look out for when you have low AMH/high FSH - hint: it's not about focusing on your AMH/FSH numbers

2) What to do if you're already gluten-free but it's still not working

3) How to know what is being missed and what is a diet plan that can help improve pregnancy success

The Problem With Most Fertility Smoothies & How To Know Which Ingredients Matter with Anna Rapp09 Oct 202300:49:44

We're digging into what everyone gets wrong about fertility smoothies.

Eating the right foods when you are trying to conceive can be confusing. There is so much contradictory advice.

At Fab Fertile, we believe in a personalized approach to nutrition. We have our clients start the elimination diet (it's the gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity), and then we tweak the diet further with comprehensive food sensitivity testing.

We've had people intolerant to fertility super foods like avocado, eggs, almonds and yes, even leafy greens.

So, while we're figuring out our personalized diet choices, I wanted to give some inspiration for your breakfast.

It's one of the biggest questions we get from people. But what will I eat for breakfast when I change my diet?

Enter the morning smoothie. But the problem with many smoothies is they are doing more harm than good (with blood sugar-spiking ingredients that only impair your fertility).

So what ingredients should your fertility smoothie contain, and how can you maximize your nutrition in each glass?

I'm excited to welcome Anna Rapp to the podcast. Anna is the chief blogger at the popular fertility site To Make A Mommy (https://www.tomakeamommy.com/).

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) The problems with most fertility smoothies

2) The right way to include greens in smoothies (this tip is crucial for your fertility, especially if you have thyroid dysfunction – which we see regularly with low AMH/high FSH)

3) How much protein to add, which protein powders to avoid, and which ones are our favourite

4) The importance of healthy fats and how to add them to your smoothie (hint: we need healthy fats for hormone production).

5) How to include seed cycling into your smoothie

Why Adrenal Insufficiency Can Be A Factor with Low AMH and High FSH02 Oct 202300:47:10

We're digging into why addressing adrenal insufficiency matters when TTC.

I can't tell you how many people I speak with that have low AMH/high FSH that are:

- Working more than 50 hours per week and dealing with a toxic workplace and/or demanding boss

- Holding down a full-time job and in graduate school

- Have experienced a traumatic event such as pregnancy loss or death in the family

- Dealing with relationship struggles or estrangement with family members

- Have tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for years with multiple rounds of IVF

- Have been told donor eggs are their only hope

Chronic stress is real. We see it all the time with low AMH/high FSH. The good thing is there are targeted strategies to address the stress, heal your adrenals, optimize your egg health and restore your fertility.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) What the adrenals have to do with fertility (differences between adrenal fatigue and HPA dysfunction)

2) Signs of adrenal dysfunction and some potential causes

3) The impact of the adrenals on the thyroid

4) MTHFR and the adrenals (how to support methylation)

5) Diet/lifestyle and supplement recommendations to support the adrenals and improve egg health and fertility

How To Reduce The Risk of Miscarriage and Enhance Fertility By Eliminating Toxins with Rachel Varga25 Sep 202300:45:44

In this episode, we're digging into how to minimize toxin exposure while TTC.

We are exposed to over 85,000 chemicals in our environment.

Environmental working group scientists have identified dozens of studies published in the past five years that report the presence of PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, in cord blood.

"The presence of these chemicals is also a threat to pregnant people, serving as first contacts with PFAS before they can pass from the uterus to the developing fetus by way of the umbilical cord."

We're exposed to chemicals in our food, personal care products, water, consumer goods and cleaning products.

Turns out these chemicals are linked to endocrine disruptors that impact both male and female fertility.

Women with a history of miscarriage may have up to 300% more of a chemical used in perfumes and cosmetics in their bloodstream than women who have never miscarried. (Human Reproduction Journal).

So, how do you protect yourself and your future children?

I'm excited to welcome Rachel Varga (https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/) to the podcast. Rachel Varga, BScN, RN, CANS, is a Double Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) Health issues linked to toxins and why this is crucial for anyone TTC

2) What to look for when you are replacing products with non-toxic options

3) Options for personal care and skin care routines that are safe for fertility and pregnancy

The Essential Nutrient Needed For Egg Quality (Especially If You Have DOR)18 Sep 202300:35:46

We're digging into how to select your omegas as you prepare for your baby.

Most of the population does not meet the recommended daily requirements for this essential nutrient.

And it is needed for healthy egg and sperm quality.

The nutrient helps with the following:

  • Improve hormone production
  • Assist with cervical mucous production
  • Promote normal ovulation
  • Aid in increasing circulation to the reproductive system
  • Decrease FSH levels
  • Increased pregnancy rates following IVF
  • Delay ovarian aging

Also, for the male partner

  • Increase sperm count
  • Improve motility and morphology
  • Reduce damage to sperm DNA

I know you're taking a lot of supplements. But this foundational supplement can easily be missed, and many people take the wrong type, which could harm fertility.

Why Detoxes and Cleanses May Be Harming Your Fertility11 Sep 202300:45:34

We're digging into why fertility cleanses/detoxes can harm fertility and what to do instead if you have low AMH/high FSH.

Preparing your body for conception can be overwhelming and confusing.

All these generalized recommendations may leave us wondering what to do next.

We may think fertility cleanses or detoxes are a good first step.

But what if the detox or cleanse caused unwanted side effects that actually harmed our fertility?

Let's learn how to support our detoxification pathways safely so that our body is in the best condition for our future baby.

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) Why fertility detoxes and cleanses may produce short-term effects but don't address underlying biochemical imbalances (also, is a heavy metal detox a good idea?)

2) How to support your detox pathways (simple yet powerful steps that help prepare your body for a baby)

3) Nutrition and supplements that support detoxification (don't waste time and money on supplements that don't give you the results)

Why Smart Women Stay Stuck in Fertility Treatment (And the Pattern That Keeps Repeating)02 Feb 202600:09:02

Most smart women don't stay stuck in fertility treatment because they aren't trying hard enough. They stay stuck because the same pattern keeps repeating, even when the outcomes don't change.

If you've done multiple cycles, followed every recommendation, tried different protocols, and still ended up with the same results, this episode is for you.

This isn't about which supplement to take or what protocol to ask for next. It's about how fertility decisions are being made, and why that matters more than effort.

In this episode, I break down the common patterns I see that keep people looping through treatment without getting real clarity.

In this episode, you'll hear about:
  • Why clinics often move straight to "try again" instead of stopping to look at what's actually happening

  • How following the plan can feel safe, even when the plan isn't working

  • Why being busy in treatment isn't the same as making progress

  • How fear of rocking the boat keeps people doing the familiar, even when it's disappointing

  • The quiet cost of time, money, and energy when nothing truly changes

I also share why I created the Embryo Audit Checklist. Not to give you more things to do, but to help you step back and look at your own data clearly so you can see patterns instead of reacting to the next suggestion. Email hello@fabfertile.ca subject line CHECKLIST for your copy.

I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork.

This episode is for you if:
  • You've done "everything right" but the outcomes keep repeating

  • You feel like you're always doing something but not moving forward

  • You want to understand what's missing before committing to another cycle

👉 Start with a Functional Fertility Second Opinion
If you want an expert review of your labs, IVF history, and full health picture to identify patterns being missed, this is the smartest first step before another cycle.

How To Connect With Your Spirit Baby When You Have Low AMH/High FSH with Nancy Mae04 Sep 202300:55:14

We're digging into how to connect with your spirit baby.

Many times before couples work with us, they have experienced cancelled IVF cycles due to low follicle count, failed IVFs due to egg or embryo quality, or have been labelled a poor responder.

I know firsthand how difficult it is to hear that you have a very small chance of conceiving naturally or that donor eggs are your only option.

This information from a well-meaning reproductive endocrinologist can be embedded in your subconscious, making it challenging to see a positive outcome.

We may even begin to hypnotize ourselves negatively.

So, how can we shift our mindset to see a positive outcome?

Connecting to our spirit baby can give us comfort when we're in the middle of a struggle.

Let's learn how to access this powerful spiritual medicine.

Today, I'm welcoming Nancy Mae to the podcast. Nancy is an Intuitive Fertility Educator and Spirit Baby Expert.

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) How to connect with your spirit baby

2) The benefit of tapping into your spirit baby when you are TTC

3) The best way to start connecting with a spirit baby. And how do you know it's not just your mind playing tricks on you

✅ Regulate the menstrual cycle, improve cervical mucus and promote ovulation

✅ Decrease FSH and increase AMH levels.

How To Release Generational Trauma As We Prepare For Parenthood Our Way21 Aug 202300:44:46

We're digging into how to release generational trauma and prepare for parenting.

Let's face it: no one has experienced a perfect childhood.

Whether you vow never to repeat how you were parented or you want to model how you were raised to your children.

Getting clear about your intentions as you plan for your family is essential to start immediately.

After all, prepping for a baby isn't just about parental leave, nurseries, and registries.

These deep conversations often unlock hidden fears and blocks you may not have even noticed your subconscious was holding on to.

So, how do we have an honest conversation with our partner about how we want to parent?

 

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) How to start a conversation about how you want to parent.

2) Questions to consider include: How will you handle discipline? How do you want to raise this child? Do you have any triggers from your one childhood you DON'T want to bring forward?

3) Tools to help with the hard conversations and strategies to assist (i.e. journaling, therapy, EMDR, etc.).
