Most women are told to “try Mucinex” when struggling with cervical mucus—yet this common advice is based on flawed logic and outdated assumptions. 😳 In this episode, I explain why Mucinex doesn't work for most women who are trying to conceive and what you can do instead to naturally increase fertile cervical mucus—without drugs that were never designed for fertility in the first place.

Hi, I’m Dr. Aumatma—a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for over 15 years, with board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I’m the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of the Egg Meets Sperm Podcast, which ranks in the top 5% globally.

I’ve had the honor of becoming a 2-time best-selling author with my books Fertility Secrets and (in)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes. Over the years, I’ve been recognized with awards such as Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor (2015, 2020), Top Women in Medicine Doctor (2020, 2021), and was inducted into the Berkeley Hall of Fame in 2022.

I’ve shared my expertise on over 100 podcasts, speaking on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, and have been featured as a holistic fertility expert on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump.

Through the years, I’ve trained hundreds of practitioners globally in holistic fertility care, and many of them have gone on to become certified in my Fertile Foundations™ system. I also founded Madre Fertility, where we offer a free Smart Fertility Analysis to help people uncover their fertility blocks and map out a personalized path to conception.

In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade—three incredible innovators in fertility and women’s health.

👩‍⚕️ I’ve spent over 10 years working in functional and holistic fertility care, helping thousands of women restore their cycles, balance hormones, and get pregnant—naturally. This isn’t just theory—this is what actually works.

What you'll learn:

  • The real reason Mucinex fails: It thins mucus—but doesn’t help you make it. Most women have a production issue, not a thickness issue.
  • Why your cervical mucus reflects your overall reproductive health
  • A simple, daily supplement protocol to support all three pillars
  • Natural, research-supported strategies to create lasting change
  • The 3 Foundational Pillars of Fertile Mucus:

  1. Circulation & Blood Flow (L-arginine, nitric oxide, beetroot)
  2. Hormonal Balance (estrogen, testosterone, and managing cortisol with adaptogens like ashwagandha)
  3. Cellular Health & Protection (antioxidants like Vitamin C & E, hydration, and healthy fats)

💡 Remember: Cervical mucus is not just about getting pregnant. It’s a key sign of hormonal balance, hydration, and overall reproductive vitality.
