Why 70% of Women Use Vitex (Chaste Tree) WRONG | When It Actually Works for Fertility

If you’ve ever walked into a health food store or Googled “natural fertility supplements,” chances are you’ve heard of Vitex, also known as Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus-castus). It’s one of the most widely recommended herbs for fertility—but what if I told you that most women use it wrong and end up wasting precious time on their TTC journey?

Hi, I’m Dr. Aumatma—a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for over 15 years, with board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I’m the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of the Egg Meets Sperm Podcast, which ranks in the top 5% globally.

I’ve had the honor of becoming a 2-time best-selling author with my books Fertility Secrets and (in)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes. Over the years, I’ve been recognized with awards such as Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor (2015, 2020), Top Women in Medicine Doctor (2020, 2021), and was inducted into the Berkeley Hall of Fame in 2022.

I’ve shared my expertise on over 100 podcasts, speaking on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, and have been featured as a holistic fertility expert on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump.

Through the years, I’ve trained hundreds of practitioners globally in holistic fertility care, and many of them have gone on to become certified in my Fertile Foundations™ system. I also founded Madre Fertility, where we offer a free Smart Fertility Analysis to help people uncover their fertility blocks and map out a personalized path to conception.

In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade—three incredible innovators in fertility and women’s health.

👩‍⚕️ What You’ll Learn in This episode:

✅ How Vitex actually works (hint: it’s all about your brain, not your ovaries)

✅ The fertility conditions it's clinically proven to help:

• Luteal phase defects

• Mildly elevated prolactin

• Stress- or birth-control-related cycle irregularities

✅ Who should never take it (including most women with PCOS and estrogen dominance)

✅ Correct timing and dosing protocols for best results

✅ Why most over-the-counter Vitex supplements don’t work

✅ Common mistakes that sabotage Vitex’s effectiveness

✅ Safer alternatives for PCOS, estrogen dominance, and thyroid-related fertility issues

✅ How one of my patients regulated her cycles and conceived without Vitex—by addressing her real issue: insulin resistance

🧪 Backed by Research

This isn’t just anecdotal advice. You’ll see the latest clinical trials, published studies, and fertility journal data that show how Chase Tree supports ovulation, boosts progesterone, and improves cycle regularity—for the right person.


💡 Key Insight: Vitex is NOT a one-size-fits-all herb. If you have PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or are on hormonal meds, this herb could actually make things worse. Know before you dose.
