I don’t think much about these numbers, but some others have been kind enough to point them out to me ;)

For most of us, how we age is largely a choice. How we eat, how we move, how we view aging, how we socialize, how we manage stress, and how much joy we prioritize all influence how “old” our 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s will feel.

I take care of myself because I want to be a healthy, vibrant mama for many decades to come.

The choices we make today shape the woman we’ll be decades from now.

Choose wisely.

And that’s my 84-year-old mom, enjoying the beach with us ❤️

There’s so much messaging around fertility after 40 that focuses on age and egg count. But fertility is more complex than that.

Here are 5 things I want more women to know:

🧬 Environmental toxins matter. Exposure can affect hormones, egg quality, and s***m quality.

🥩 Protein and healthy fats are essential. Don’t overlook the basics of fertility nutrition.

🌿 Supporting metabolic and mitochondrial health matters for fertility.

🩸 “Normal” labs don’t necessarily mean optimal. And it’s important to make sure you’re actually running comprehensive labs in the first place.

💛 Natural conception is still possible. In my practice, I’ve seen more success with natural conception than IVF in women 43+, which makes me question whether conventional, high dose medication protocols are always the best approach for every woman.

This is why I look at the whole picture of fertility, rather than focusing on age or basic lab results.

And one area you can start with today is your everyday exposure to environmental toxins.

One important piece of the fertility puzzle is progesterone, which plays a critical role in ovulation, implantation and early pregnancy.

But progesterone isn’t just about the second half of your cycle.

Healthy follicular development supports ovulation and the progesterone production that follows.

How to support healthy progesterone production naturally:

1️⃣ Nourishing Diet: Focus on high-quality PROTEIN & healthy FATS (eggs, avocado, olive oil, grass-fed butter, grass-fed beef, fatty fish) at every meal. Cholesterol is a building block for hormones. Eat a rainbow of veggies & fruits for key nutrients like vitamin C, B6, zinc, magnesium and selenium.

2️⃣ Quality Sleep: Aim for 8+ hours. Sleep plays an important role in hormone regulation.

3️⃣ Managed Stress: Chronic stress can affect reproductive hormone signaling. Find your calm with yoga, meditation, nature walks, laughing, dancing or time with friends. Regulate that nervous system!

4️⃣ Moderate Movement: Regular movement is beneficial, but consistently pushing your body with high-intensity exercise without enough recovery or fuel can affect reproductive function.

5️⃣ Gut Health: A healthy gut supports overall health and can play a role in hormone metabolism.

Sometimes, lifestyle support isn’t enough in our 40s. If you have low progesterone even after supporting your lifestyle, talk with your fertility clinician about whether further evaluation or progesterone treatment is appropriate.

We’ve been told that fertility falls off a cliff at 35.

But fertility is far more complex than that.

Age does influence fertility, but inflammation, blood sugar regulation, oxidative stress, microbiome health, environmental exposures, nutrient status and mitochondrial function all play a role in reproductive health — for both women and men.

And these are areas where you can take action.

If you’re trying to conceive in your late 30s or 40s, don’t let your age be the only thing you’re looking at.

I was told I was in early menopause.

And yet, I went on to conceive two babies naturally in my mid-40s. ❤️

Sometimes a diagnosis, a low AMH, irregular cycles, or your age can make you feel like there’s nothing left to investigate.

There are so many pieces that can influence reproductive health, including:

• Gut health
• Uterine environment
• Vaginal microbiome
• Nutrient status
• Immune balance
• Inflammation
• Oxidative stress
• Full thyroid function
• Blood sugar
• Mitochondrial health
• Environmental toxins
• Nervous system regulation
• Male factor fertility

The Fertile After 40 Framework is built on the 8 Foundations of Fertility, helping you look at the bigger picture of reproductive health rather than focusing on just one piece.

Inside my Fertile After 40 Masterclass, I walk you through these foundations and show you what you can investigate and optimize to support your fertility.

When I was trying to conceive naturally at 43 and 46, these are some of the supplements I took. Many of them are also part of the personalized fertility protocols I create for my clients. They’re all backed by research to support egg quality, reproductive health, and healthy pregnancy. Here’s a quick breakdown:

✨ Prenatal + Folate + D3/K2
A foundation for nutrient status, healthy development, reproductive health, and implantation.

✨ Ubiquinol (CoQ10)
Supports mitochondrial function, egg quality, fertilization, and reproductive health, especially as we age.

✨ Fish Oil (DHA/EPA)
Supports egg quality, ovulation, healthy inflammation, and pregnancy.

✨ Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC)
Supports mitochondrial function, ovulation, egg maturation, and embryo quality.

✨ NAC
Supports glutathione production, antioxidant defenses, egg/embryo quality, and healthy cycles.

✨ Vitamin C
Helps protect eggs from oxidative stress and supports hormone production and ovarian function.

✨ Choline
Important for early fetal development, cell membranes, and methylation.

✨ Melatonin
Supports antioxidant defenses and has been studied for its role in the ovarian environment and reproductive health.

✨ Probiotics for vaginal health
Support a healthy vaginal microbiome, an important part of the reproductive environment.

Not every supplement is right for every woman, but these are some of my core foundations for fertility after 40.

You’re ovulating every month. So why aren’t you getting pregnant?

Ovulation is an important part of fertility, but it’s not the whole story.

Once an egg is fertilized, the embryo still needs to successfully reach the uterus, implant, and establish a healthy pregnancy.

That means your uterine health matters, too.

Things like inflammation, endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, polyps, infections, blood flow, the uterine lining, and the uterine microbiome can all be relevant when you’re trying to understand why implantation may not be happening.

If you’re doing all the “right” things for egg and s***m quality, but still not getting pregnant, it may be worth looking beyond the ovaries and s***m to the environment where implantation needs to happen.

I created a free uterine health guide to help you understand what supports a healthy uterine lining, what can affect implantation, and practical ways to support this important part of fertility.

Are you still buying products that smell pretty?

If so, this is your reminder to STOP.

What’s hiding behind the ingredients “fragrance” or “parfum”?

These are umbrella terms that can represent a cocktail of up to thousands of different chemicals. Manufacturers don’t have to disclose every individual fragrance ingredient, so you may have no idea what you’re actually being exposed to.

And many of those chemicals, including phthalates, are endocrine disruptors that can interfere with hormone signaling and have been shown to negatively affect reproductive health, including egg development and maturation.

🛑 THE IVF CONNECTION

Many fertility clinics don’t allow patients or staff to wear fragrance inside the clinic during egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

Why? Because developing eggs and embryos are particularly sensitive to their environment.

How to reduce your exposure:

✔️ Choose fragrance-free personal care and cleaning products
✔️ Avoid anything with “fragrance” or “parfum” on the label
✔️ Remember that even “non toxic” or low-tox products can contain artificial fragrance
✔️ Swap synthetic perfumes and candles for essential oil based alternatives

Your hormones are sensitive. Your eggs are precious. What you put on your body matters💛

Diminished ovarian reserve, whether based on your age or AMH levels, is likely not the reason you’re struggling to get pregnant. While egg count naturally declines over time, even at menopause, you still have around 1,000 eggs!

Key factors that are much better predictors of your egg quality and ability to have a baby:

✅ Thyroid function
✅ Nutrient status
✅ Mitochondrial health
✅ Inflammation levels
✅ Gut and vaginal microbiomes
✅ Uterine health
✅ Hormonal balance
✅ Cycle health

The encouraging news? These factors are modifiable. There is so much more to fertility after 40 than your AMH or an ultrasound showing how many follicles you have.

One of the questions I am often asked is: “How long does it take to get pregnant at 40+?”

The reality is, it often takes longer than it did in our 30s. But natural conception is still possible, and understanding what you can optimize matters.

In one study of women ages 40–45, about 56% conceived naturally within 12 cycles. That’s an encouraging number most people never hear.

Why can it take longer?

👩🏽 As we age, our eggs age too. Older eggs are more likely to have chromosomal abnormalities, which can make it harder to achieve a healthy pregnancy.

👨🏽 Male fertility can also change with age, including changes in s***m motility and morphology.

💗 My story is proof that there can be hope:

At 43, I spent time properly preparing my body and optimizing my health. I conceived on the very first try.

At 46, it took 12 cycles. After 10 months, we discovered my husband’s s***m motility and morphology were low. We adjusted his supplements, diet, and exercise routine, and we conceived the following month. That pregnancy ended in miscarriage, but just two weeks later, we conceived our second baby at 46.

✨ The lesson? There is a lot you can do to support your fertility, even when you’re over 40.

I’ve seen it with my clients, and I experienced it myself.
