If you're over 40 and have been told your ovarian reserve is low, you've likely heard things like your only option is IVF with donor eggs or your time has run out. But those statements rarely tell the full story. In today's episode, Improve Ovarian Reserve to Get Pregnant After 40, we explore what ovarian reserve actually measures, why it does not define your fertility potential, and how a functional fertility approach can support egg quality, hormone communication, and your chances of pregnancy, whether naturally or with IVF. Even after 40, your body can respond when you understand the underlying imbalances that influence ovarian function. You'll learn • What AMH, FSH, and AFC truly indicate and why they don't measure egg quality • How mitochondrial energy, nutrient levels, and antioxidants influence egg development after 40 • The role of thyroid health and why optimal TSH should be below 2.0 when trying to conceive • How gut infections, immune dysregulation, and vaginal microbiome imbalances affect ovarian reserve • Which functional tests help uncover hidden imbalances that impact egg potential, including GI MAP, DUTCH, GrowBaby, and HTMA This episode is especially for you if: • You are 40 or older and have been told your AMH is low or your FSH is high • You have experienced failed IVF cycles, early loss, or poor egg quality and want to know what else you can do • You want a functional fertility framework that looks at hormone communication, egg energy, and whole body imbalances rather than just chasing lab numbers Next Steps in Your Fertility Journey Subscribe to Get Pregnant Naturally for evidence-based guidance on functional fertility, and share this episode with anyone on their fertility journey.
