Fertility Crisis: Why Couples Struggle to Conceive and what to do about it. With Dr Aumatma Simmons

Send us a text This week I"m delighted to be joined by Dr Aumatma Simmons as we discuss fertility. Dr. Aumatma is a double board-certified Naturopathic Doctor & Endocrinologist, in practice for close to 15 years.  She specializes in fertility and is the best-selling author of two books: "Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn"t Tell You About Baby-Making” and “(In)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes”  Dr. Aumatma was awarded the “Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor″ award locally in 2015 & 2020 and recognized as a top “Women In Medicine” Doctor in 2020 & 2021. We discuss many, many things; Why couples seem to struggle to conceive more now than they used to. The socio economic issues regarding conception. The emotional impact of struggling to conceive, even when on IVF. Why we often underestimate the emotional, and financial, impact of IVF and the stress that that brings. Why lifestyle changes are preferred over supplements. Why what works for your friend won"t work you. And, most importantly, the importance of having a good roadmap to fertility. You have to know YOUR starting point before you plot the route to your destination, and it has to be personalised. You can find Dr Aumatma everywhere.
