Are you unknowingly sabotaging your fertility with popular supplements like DIM, Maca, Vitex, and DHEA? In this episode, I, Dr Aumatma Simmons, a naturopathic doctor board certified in naturopathic endocrinology, will break down the potential dangers of these well-known fertility aids.
While these supplements can be beneficial for some women, they might actually do more harm than good if used incorrectly. Dr. Simmons explains why understanding your unique hormonal profile is crucial before adding any supplements to your routine.
Discover why DIM might lower your estrogen too much, how Maca can throw your hormones out of balance, why Vitex might disrupt your cycles, and how DHEA could lower your egg quality if it’s not right for you. If you’re serious about optimizing your fertility, it’s essential to get personalized advice and testing. Don't play a guessing game with your fertility—learn how to approach it with care and precision.
