In this episode of Egg Meets Sperm, Dr. Aumatma Simmons dives deep into the overlooked factors affecting fertility. Beyond the typical toxins, she explores how internal toxins—like unresolved emotions—can impact genetic function and hormonal balance. She also breaks down misconceptions about ovarian reserve, AMH levels, and how your environment, stress, and nutrient intake play a crucial role in reproductive health.

Key Takeaways:

✅ The surprising connection between emotional stress and fertility health

✅ Why AMH is not the end-all-be-all for ovarian reserve and pregnancy potential
