Conventional medicine often stops at the numbers, low AMH, high FSH for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and turns quickly to donor eggs or IVF. But through a functional fertility lens, we can uncover hidden factors like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and hormone imbalances that may support ovarian function and improve pregnancy success.

In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, Fab Fertile founder Sarah Clark explains how functional fertility strategies can help reverse POI and improve your chances of conceiving with your own eggs.

You’ll also hear Amanda’s story: she was told she’d never conceive naturally with an AMH of 0.08 ng/mL, yet went on to have her daughter.

This episode is for you if:

  • You’ve been told your only option with POI, low AMH, or high FSH is donor eggs

  • You’ve experienced recurrent miscarriage or failed IVF cycles

  • You want evidence-based strategies to improve egg quality and fertility outcomes naturally

We’ll cover the difference between genetic and idiopathic POI, why functional fertility shines in unexplained cases, and the top mistakes people make with a POI diagnosis. You’ll leave with practical steps you can take right now to support ovarian function.

Subscribe to Get Pregnant Naturally for evidence-based guidance on functional fertility, and share this episode with anyone on their fertility journey.
