In this short dialogue, the speakers challenge the common belief that anti‑Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels are a static, unchangeable indicator of a woman's fertility potential. Speaker A recounts experience reviewing cases at a functional‑medicine fertility clinic, noting that when the underlying causes of infertility are addressed, the majority of women improve their AMH levels and achieve pregnancy, often avoiding the need for IVF. The conversation highlights how the fixation on low AMH can erode hope and push patients toward invasive treatments, while functional‑medicine interventions can reverse the decline, offering a hopeful alternative.

That's a lie. I used to do case reviews for a functional medicine, um, fertility clinic, and I kid you not, 9 times out of 10, they would do the root cause healing and these women would turn things around and get pregnant. And one of the things that they would really focus on coming in and would trip them up and,
and
cause them to not have hope and want to run to IVF is the AMH. They're just fixated on like, you know, my AMH level isn't great. And my doctor says there's no chance.
Yeah. So AMH, anti-Müllerian hormone, however we pronounce that, is a marker of egg quality, egg reserve, whatnot. And so, you know, supposedly it's unchangeable. That's a lie. That's
a lie. I've seen it change 100
times. Well, when you get through menopause later, well, We'll conquer that. But I mean, I would say don't ever give up hope because like, so the— sorry, I'm diverting to premature ovarian failure, but kind of similar. The case example in the book was she had mold toxicity and her hormones with mold, your hormones. So back to toxicity impacting, I was more talking, I guess, about personal care products that can affect fertility. But there's so many environmental toxins, but there are other environmental toxins like that, like those and mold that can impact your hormones. Some can cause hormones to go high, others low. And in this particular case, she literally had premature ovarian failure. All her hormones were low. We— it took a while. We detoxed her from mold, but her hormones bounced back. So she went from looking like she was menopausal to she got pregnant. So it's possible just because you have a lab come back discouraging. Hello, there's, you know, like you said, 400 pages in this book here that can help you correct the AMH or correct the low hormones, whatnot. Just don't give up hope.
