The Fertility Reset

Do you really need to take DHEA for egg quality?


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most commonly recommended IVF supplements: DHEA.

After being told to take it—without any testing—and getting extremely sick, I later discovered that DHEA is actually a hormone. I break down who actually needs it, when it can help, and when it can make egg quality worse, not better.

You’ll learn:

  • What DHEA really is

  • Why AMH alone shouldn’t determine whether you take it

  • The importance of testing before starting hormone-based supplements

  • Why mega-dose supplement protocols can harm fertility

  • What to do instead to support egg quality
