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.
