In this episode of the Hope Natural Health Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a double board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist who has specialized in fertility for nearly 20 years.
We talk about the factors that can be missed in a conventional fertility workup, including thyroid and autoimmune issues, sperm DNA fragmentation, blood sugar and insulin regulation, gut inflammation, and the vaginal microbiome.
Dr. Simmons also explains why recurrent pregnancy loss isn't always a female fertility issue, how male factors can contribute, and why looking beyond basic sperm analysis may be important.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why recurrent pregnancy loss may involve more than genetics
- How thyroid, autoimmune, and metabolic factors can affect fertility
- Why sperm DNA fragmentation and male fertility factors matter
- How gut and vaginal microbiome health may influence pregnancy outcomes
- The difference between genetic, epigenetic, and chromosomal factors
- How targeted testing, sleep, and melatonin can support a more comprehensive fertility approach
