Fertility at 25, 35, & 45: What the Research Really Says (You’ll Be Surprised!)

“What you’ve heard about your biological clock might be outdated—or just plain wrong.”

If you’re feeling anxious about your age and fertility, this episode is for you.

I’m breaking down real, research-backed insights on fertility at 25, 35, and 45—and the truth is both surprising and empowering. Whether you’re just starting to think about kids or already trying to conceive, understanding the science (not the scare tactics) can make all the difference.

Hi, I’m Dr. Aumatma—a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for over 15 years, with board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I’m the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of the Egg Meets Sperm Podcast, which ranks in the top 5% globally.

I’ve had the honor of becoming a 2-time best-selling author with my books Fertility Secrets and (in)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes. Over the years, I’ve been recognized with awards such as Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor (2015, 2020), Top Women in Medicine Doctor (2020, 2021), and was inducted into the Berkeley Hall of Fame in 2022.

I’ve shared my expertise on over 100 podcasts, speaking on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, and have been featured as a holistic fertility expert on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump.

Through the years, I’ve trained hundreds of practitioners globally in holistic fertility care, and many of them have gone on to become certified in my Fertile Foundations™ system. I also founded Madre Fertility, where we offer a free Smart Fertility Analysis to help people uncover their fertility blocks and map out a personalized path to conception.

In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade—three incredible innovators in fertility and women’s health.

🎯 Here’s what we’ll cover:

✔️ The truth about fertility rates at each age

✔️ Why “the cliff at 35” is based on outdated data

✔️ How factors like nutrition, stress, hormones, and gut health affect fertility more than you think

✔️ Why egg quality is more important than egg quantity

✔️ What men’s health has to do with your success

✔️ Stories of real women who conceived naturally—even at 37, 42, and 46

✔️ The ONE thing you should start doing now if you're trying to conceive (even if you're young!)

💡 Key Takeaway:

Age is just one piece of the fertility puzzle.

Your lifestyle, health, and stress patterns may be even more important—and many of these are changeable.

👩‍⚕️ As a fertility expert with over 10 years in the field and thousands of patients served, I’ve seen women at every age succeed—not because of luck, but because they understood their body and optimized the things that matter.
