Listen Later

Welcome back to Part 3 of our Fertility Detox Masterclass Series! 🌿

If you haven’t watched Part 1 and Part 2, pause this episode and start there — this is a deep dive into one of the most overlooked causes of infertility: toxic exposures that silently disrupt your hormones, egg and sperm health, and overall reproductive balance.

👩‍⚕️ I’m Dr. Aumatma, a fertility specialist and naturopathic doctor with nearly 20 years of experience helping couples conceive naturally.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring hidden fertility disruptors like:

  • đź§Ş Heavy Metals (Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic)
  • đźšś Agricultural Toxins (Pesticides, Herbicides, Glyphosate, Atrazine)
  • đź§± Occupational Exposures (Construction dust, solvents, welding fumes)
  • 🎖️ Military & Firefighter Toxins (Burn pits, PFAs, jet fuel, depleted uranium)

You’ll learn:

âś… The science behind how these toxins impact fertility in both men and women

âś… Real patient success stories and test results

âś… How to test for heavy metals and environmental toxins accurately

✅ Proven detox strategies before conception — including chelation, nutrient therapy, infrared sauna use, and mineral balancing
