Plastics are deeply woven into the fabric of our everyday lives—from the water bottles we sip from to the skincare products we apply, and even the yoga pants we wear. But beneath this modern convenience lies an alarming truth: plastics are loaded with hormone-disrupting chemicals that may be sabotaging your fertility, energy, mood, and overall health.In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I share Elena's real-life story of how eliminating plastic exposure for just 30 days dramatically improved her hormone balance, energy, skin, and sleep—and ultimately helped her conceive naturally after 3 years of trying.🔍 What You'll Learn:What endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like BPA, BPS, and phthalates are, and how they hijack your hormonesHow these toxins affect thyroid function, estrogen dominance, testosterone, prolactin, and moreWhy "BPA-free" doesn't mean safe—BPS and BPF may be worseWhy even low doses of plastic toxins can have a big impact—especially during key hormonal transitionsThe 3-phase detox plan Elena used: Kitchen, personal care, and hidden sourcesHer hormone lab results before and after the detoxHow reducing plastic exposure can enhance reproductive health, reduce PMS, and improve energy and sleep📈 Elena’s Before & After Highlights:Metric Before and After 30 Days Estrogen: Progesterone Ratio28:115:1 Prolactin24 mg/mL16 mg/mLTSH (Thyroid)3.8 µIU/mL2.7 µIU/mLFree Testosterone0.8 pg/mL1.3 pg/mLBPA in Urine—↓ 78%Phthalates in Urine—↓ 62%🛠️ 5 High-Impact Plastic Swaps to Start Today:Plastic Water Bottles → Stainless or Glass + Home FilterPlastic Food Containers → Glass or Stainless (especially for hot/acidic foods)Nonstick Cookware → Cast Iron or CeramicPlastic-Packaged Skincare → Natural, fragrance-free alternativesCanned Foods with BPA Lining → Glass Jars or BPA-free Cans🧪 Testing & Detox Support:Track improvements with hormone panels that include estrogen metabolitesConsider urine tests for BPA/phthalatesSupplements: NAC, calcium D-glucarate, DIM, B-complexSweat it out: Sauna therapy can support toxin release💬 Final Takeaway:Elena’s story isn’t an outlier.

The Shocking Truth About "Unexplained" Pregnancy LossWhat if I told you that up to 20% of recurrent pregnancy losses aren't actually unexplained—they're just undiagnosed?In this episode, I share the heartbreaking story of my patient who endured FOUR consecutive miscarriages. Every single test came back "normal"—chromosomes, hormones, anatomy—everything. Then we discovered her immune system was literally attacking her pregnancies.Hi! This is Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for 18 years with additional board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I'm the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of Egg Meets Sperm Podcast (a Top 5% podcast).

I'm the founder of Madre Fertility and Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade.The Game-Changing DiscoveryHere's what most doctors never tell you: Your immune system's job is to attack foreign invaders, but during pregnancy, it must learn to tolerate your baby (who is genetically half foreign to your body). When this delicate balance goes wrong, it can sabotage your pregnancies—not your ability to conceive, but your ability to maintain them.The 4 Hidden Immune SaboteursI reveal the four critical immune factors that could be destroying your pregnancies:Overactive Natural Killer Cells (found in 44% of "unexplained" losses)Autoimmune Antibodies (causing up to 90% loss rates when untreated)Immune System Imbalance (staying in "attack mode" instead of "protect mode")Gut-Immune Connection (70% of your immune system lives in your gut!)The Hope-Filled TruthHere's the incredible news: Women with immune-related pregnancy loss who receive proper treatment have a 70-80% live birth rate, compared to only 20% without treatment.My patient with four losses? After identifying her immune imbalances and treating them with targeted protocols, she went on to have TWO healthy pregnancies.What You'll LearnThe simple blood tests that could have caught this years earlierWhy standard pregnancy loss workups miss these factors entirelyBoth medical and natural treatment options that actually workThe exact questions to ask your doctor (don't leave empty-handed!)Red flags that suggest your immune system might be the culpritYour Next StepsIf you've experienced recurrent pregnancy loss—especially between 6-10 weeks with "normal" test results—this episode could change everything for you. Your immune system doesn't have to be your enemy; it can become your greatest ally in creating and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.Ready to get answers instead of more heartbreak?
