We’re diving into how poor sleep is linked to poor egg quality.

If you're struggling to fall asleep, waking up in the night, or getting out of bed feeling exhausted—this isn’t just a sleep issue. It’s a signal that your body is out of alignment, and for those navigating low AMH, DOR, POI, poor egg quality, or recurrent pregnancy loss, sleep disruptions can be a major red flag.

In the Fab Fertile Method, we know that consistent, restful sleep plays a critical role in regulating hormones, supporting egg health, and optimizing fertility. But if you’re constantly wired at bedtime, wide awake at 2 a.m., or dragging through the day despite 8 hours in bed—there’s likely an underlying imbalance at play.

In this episode, we dive into how sleep issues can be linked to blood sugar swings, adrenal dysfunction, inflammation, liver congestion, and more. And most importantly—we’ll share the first steps to rebalance your body and reclaim the deep rest your fertility depends on.

Sleep is not optional on the fertility journey. Let’s uncover why your sleep is disrupted—and what to do about it.

This episode is for you if:

You have DOR, poor egg quality, or low AMH and struggle with waking up in the middle of the night, falling asleep, or feeling exhausted.

You want to understand how hormonal imbalances, blood sugar issues, and stress impact both sleep and fertility.

You’re looking for functional medicine strategies, including the Fab Fertile Method, to improve sleep, support ovarian health, and enhance egg quality naturally.

In this episode you'll learn:

How blood sugar crashes disrupt your sleep and impact fertility by spiking cortisol and affecting hormone balance.

Why adrenal dysfunction keeps you awake at night and sabotages progesterone production needed for conception.

How gut imbalances and inflammation interfere with sleep and hormone production, affecting your fertility.

Why liver congestion causes sleep disruptions and blocks detox, which is essential for healthy egg quality.

How magnesium deficiency and hormonal imbalances impact both your sleep and your fertility, preventing you from reaching your full potential.
