Breaking the "Infertility" Myth: Moving Beyond Labels with Dr. Marc Sklar

Hey, it's Dr. Aumatma, host of Egg Meets Sperm, the podcast where we provide holistic fertility advice for you and your partner—because fertility takes two!

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Mark Sklar, a leading fertility expert, to challenge the term "infertility" and reframe the conversation toward fertility support.

We dive into how labels like "infertility" can be disempowering and why focusing on personalized fertility care is key. Dr. Sklar shares insights on overcoming fertility struggles, habit changes, and how to create a fertile environment that supports your unique journey.

Dr. Marc Sklar — a.k.a The Fertility Expert — is a natural fertility specialist helping couples get pregnant for 20 years. His mission is to help you feel HOPEFUL and CONFIDENT about your fertility journey again. 

In addition to his Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Dr. Sklar trained at the Harvard Medical School, Mind/Body Medical Institute. He is the creator of Fertility TV, MarcSklar.com, and ReproductiveWellness.com, a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine, and a Medical Advisor for Natural Health International. As well as his online program, he also supports his community via his highly popular YouTube channel: FertilityTV where he shares information-packed videos to educate his followers on all things fertility. 

Dr Sklar lives in San Diego, with his wife and two sons, where he has a clinic Reproductive Wellness. He also works with couples all over the world through his fertility online coaching - the Hope Fertility Program. 

Topics covered:

  • Rethinking the word "infertility"
  • Personalized fertility plans
