Breaking the "Infertility" Myth: Moving Beyond Labels with Dr. Marc Sklar

Hey, it's Dr. Aumatma, host of Egg Meets Sperm, the podcast where we provide holistic fertility advice for you and your partner—because fertility takes two!

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Mark Sklar, a leading fertility expert, to challenge the term "infertility" and reframe the conversation toward fertility support.

We dive into how labels like "infertility" can be disempowering and why focusing on personalized fertility care is key. Dr. Sklar shares insights on overcoming fertility struggles, habit changes, and how to create a fertile environment that supports your unique journey.

Dr. Marc Sklar — a.k.a The Fertility Expert — is a natural fertility specialist helping couples get pregnant for 20 years. His mission is to help you feel HOPEFUL and CONFIDENT about your fertility journey again.

He is the creator of Fertility TV, MarcSklar.com, and ReproductiveWellness.com, a Fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine, and a Medical Advisor for Natural Health International.
