What Every Type A Woman Needs to Know About Low AMH, Egg Quality, and Stress

Description:

If you’re dealing with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency or poor egg quality, and you’re constantly “doing everything” to address it, this episode dives into how chronic stress, perfectionism, and high-achiever tendencies can silently sabotage fertility from a functional perspective.

Do you feel like you’re doing all the things, but still not seeing results?

We’ll explore how the drive to always do more (even with the best intentions) can quietly mess with egg quality, throw off your hormone balance, and overstimulate your nervous system, especially if rest feels like failure.

We’ll connect the dots between:

  • High-functioning burnout and low progesterone 
  • Overworking and poor ovarian response 
  • Chronic cortisol and mitochondrial damage to eggs 
  • Sleep, blood sugar, gut health and why they matter more than any other supplement

You’ll also learn:

  • Functional labs to assess nervous system depletion
  • Lifestyle shifts to repair your fertility foundation
  • Why doing less is sometimes the most powerful fertility strategy

Whether you’re in IVF cycles, preparing for egg retrieval or diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency, this is the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed.

Tune in and learn how to go from hustle to hormone balance, so your body can finally feel safe to conceive.

This episode is for you if:

  • You’ve experienced failed egg retrievals or embryo transfers and are trying all the protocols, supplements, or strategies you can find.
  • You’re working long hours (50+ per week) and struggling to balance career demands with your fertility journey.
  • You feel like your worth is tied to your fertility outcomes or the number of “wins” you achieve, making it hard to slow down or rest, even when you’re exhausted.
