IVF Isn’t Always the Answer: Natural Fertility, Hidden Root Causes & the Truth About “Unexplained” Infertility

🎯 If you’ve been told you need IVF — listen to this episode first!

After years of supporting couples through both IVF and natural conception and analyzing the top fertility studies from the past 10 years, I’ve uncovered something shocking

👉 Many people undergoing IVF may not need it.

👉 Most "unexplained infertility" cases actually have explainable causes — they’re just missed.

By the way, this is Dr Aumatma. I'm a Licensed Naturopathic Doctor & Endocrinologist. Recognized with awards such as Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor and Top Women in Medicine Doctor. Has been featured on ABC, FOX, CBS, and more. I trained hundreds of practitioners globally and helped over 897+ couples to  finally have the baby they dream of - read some of their success stories here. I'm the Co-founder of Madre Fertility, offering a free Smart Fertility Analysis to guide personalized fertility journeys, and the author of Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn’t Tell You About Baby-Making.

In this podcast episode, I break down the 3 situations where IVF is absolutely necessary, and I reveal what most clinics don’t test for — the hidden root causes behind infertility that are often overlooked in conventional medicine.


👩‍⚕️ Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

🔹 The only times IVF is truly essential

🔹 What doctors aren’t telling you about

🔹 Real success story: How Sarah got pregnant naturally after 3 failed IVF rounds — without meds or hormones — by addressing:

✔️ Inflammation

✔️ Subtle thyroid imbalances

✔️ Gut dysfunction

✔️ Chronic stress


💡 Plus, I’ll walk you through the exact fertility protocol we used, including:

• Comprehensive lab testing

• A personalized gut-healing protocol

• Anti-inflammatory nutrition

• Sleep and stress regulation

• Cycle-specific hormone support


📈 Our success rates speak volumes:

🌿 85% success under age 38

🌿 50% success over 38 …All tracked through live births, not just positive tests.


🚫 IVF may be your best option if:

• You have blocked tubes

• There’s no viable sperm

• You're over 42 with poor egg reserve


Natural fertility methods may work if:

• You have “unexplained infertility”

• You’ve had recurrent miscarriages

• You have regular cycles & healthy AMH

• Your labs are “normal” but you still aren’t pregnant
