“It’s egg quality over quantity. Our cellular health and the quality of our eggs decline as we get older, that’s the main reason conception becomes harder with age. But if you have a really healthy lifestyle over 35, you might actually have better egg quality than someone in their twenties”
Essential learnings from this episode…
Fertility doesn’t drop off a cliff at 35, it’s a gradual decline, and many factors beyond age influence reproductive health.
Egg quality is more important than egg count. Although you are born with all the eggs you'll ever have, lifestyle and nutrition can greatly influence egg health.
Prolonged stress can disturb hormone levels, ovulation, and overall reproductive health.
Exposure to plastics, endocrine disruptors, and pollutants can harm fertility, but there are methods to lower your risk.
Men’s fertility declines too. Sperm quality starts to decrease after 35, making preconception health important for both partners.
Three months can make a difference. Your diet, supplements, and lifestyle today will impact your egg and sperm health in just 90 days.
