I had babies at 44 and 46. So does your age really predict your egg quality?
Age matters. But it’s only one piece of the puzzle.
There are many factors that influence egg health that you can actively work on.
Here are some of the areas I focus on when supporting egg quality 👇
✨ Balanced blood sugar — blood sugar dysregulation can increase oxidative stress and inflammation, which can affect the cellular environment surrounding your eggs.
✨ Lower inflammation + oxidative stress — both can contribute to cellular damage, including damage to egg DNA and mitochondria.
✨ Healthy mitochondrial function — your eggs need substantial energy to mature and support early embryo development.
✨ Optimal nutrient status — eggs need key nutrients to support energy production, DNA synthesis, and cellular function.
✨ Healthy thyroid + hormonal health — hormones play an important role in follicle development, ovulation, and egg maturation.
✨ Gut + vaginal microbiome health
✨ Lower toxin exposure
✨ Nervous system regulation
✨ Quality sleep + recovery
✨ Targeted supplementation
Why this matters:
You can’t change your chronological age. But you can influence many of the factors that affect the environment in which your eggs develop.
There is so much more to the story than your age. ✨
