If you've been trying to get pregnant, you've probably heard a lot of "facts" that feel urgent, scary, or final—especially if you're over 35, have a low AMH, or have already been told IVF is your only option. These messages can make you feel like your body is failing you or that you're running out of time, when in reality, many of these narratives are outdated, misunderstood, or taken completely out of context.

In this episode of The Fertility Dietitian Podcast, I'm walking you through some of the biggest fertility myths that just won't die, and what both the data and real clinical experience actually show instead. We'll talk about age, AMH, prenatals, male factor fertility, stress, egg freezing, and—most importantly—what you can actually do to improve your internal environment so you can stop making decisions from panic and start moving forward with clarity and confidence.

"Age matters, but the environment your eggs are developing in matters way more—and that's the part you can actually change." — Brooke Boskovich.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • How fertility really changes after 35 and what the data says about age and conception
  • What AMH can and cannot tell you about your chances of getting pregnant naturally
  • Why a prenatal alone is not a complete preconception plan
  • Which nutrient forms and ingredients matter most in a high-quality prenatal
  • How male factor infertility shows up in about half of cases and often goes unaddressed
  • What changes as men age, and how sperm quality can be affected
  • How stress impacts fertility and why "just relax" is not helpful advice
  • What egg freezing can offer and why it is not an insurance policy
  • How to support your internal environment to improve fertility and egg quality
