Turning 35 is often seen as a “milestone” in fertility. Research shows that egg quality and ovarian reserve begin to decline more noticeably around this age and chromosomal abnormalities may increase.
But age is only part of the story. There are many ways we can support fertility and keep reproductive health functioning as optimally as possible.
This year I turned 35, and protecting my fertility has become even more important - not because I’m actively trying to conceive, but because I want to keep that door open in case we ever decide to grow our family. As a fertility-focused naturopath, I’ve seen how valuable it is to focus on what’s within our control.
To me, one of the beautiful things about naturally supporting fertility is that it’s deeply connected to overall wellness, longevity, and optimal health. Whether or not I’m trying to conceive, the habits I’m leaning into like nutrient-dense food, exercise, sleep, stress management, thoughtful supplementation, and reducing toxic exposures, are helping me support both my fertility and my health for the long term ♥️
