If you've been told you have poor egg quality, you might feel like your options are limited or that your body isn't capable of what you want most. In this episode, 5 Tips to Get Pregnant Even with Poor Egg Quality, we break down what egg quality really means, what affects it, and how to support your fertility through a functional-fertility lens. You'll learn practical, research-informed strategies that influence the environment where your eggs mature and develop.

You'll learn:

  • What poor egg quality actually means and why it's about cellular function, not the number of eggs

  • How oxidative stress, thyroid issues, inflammation, toxin exposure, and blood sugar imbalances affect egg development

  • The top functional strategies to support mitochondrial energy, hormone communication, and ovulation

  • How gut health, minerals, detoxification, and nervous system regulation impact egg and embryo quality

  • Research-backed mind–body approaches shown to improve pregnancy outcomes in IVF and natural conception

This episode is especially for you if:

  • You've been told you have poor egg quality, low AMH, or high FSH and want to understand what's actually behind those numbers

  • You've had failed IVF cycles or early losses and want to know what else you can do to influence your outcome

  • You want a whole body, functional fertility approach that supports egg development, mitochondrial health, and hormone communication
