Hidden Fertility Toxins: Heavy Metals, Pesticides & Military Exposures That Could Be Sabotaging Conception | Detox Masterclass Part 3
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:
- 🧪 Heavy Metals (Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic)
- 🚜 Agricultural Toxins (Pesticides, Herbicides, Glyphosate, Atrazine)
- 🧱 Occupational Exposures (Construction dust, solvents, welding fumes)
- 🎖️ Military & Firefighter Toxins (Burn pits, PFAs, jet fuel, depleted uranium)
You’ll learn:
✅ The science behind how these toxins impact fertility in both men and women
✅ Real patient success stories and test results
✅ 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
✅ Why timing your detox (3–6 months before conception) is absolutely critical
