Katie: Hiya and welcome to The Wellness Mama Podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com. And this episode is all concerning the root causes of infertility, why we’re seeing declining sperm depend and tips on how to repair it. And I’m right here with Dr. Nashat Latib. I actually loved this dialog. She has over 20 years of scientific expertise. She was a Board Licensed Emergency Doctor and now she’s considered one of just a few Practical Drugs Licensed Physicians on the earth, specializing in regenerative drugs and particularly fertility.
And she or he shares her personal private story, what led her into this work from being an emergency doctor and the way it got here from a narrative inside her personal life. And we additionally get to go deep on the purposeful drugs aspect of fertility, which I’ve not but touched on on this podcast. She talks about a number of the components that go into fertility, why in lots of instances {couples} are capable of get pregnant naturally, even when they’ve been advised they will’t, or even when they’ve had IVF or IUI. And she or he takes a root trigger strategy that’s very individualized couple by couple, but in addition shares a number of the common issues which are useful on this podcast. She’s a extremely enjoyable interview in individual to speak to, and I believe that you’ll get pleasure from this dialog and study lots. So let’s be a part of Dr. Nashat. Dr. Nashat, welcome and thanks a lot for being right here.
Nashat: Thanks for having me. I’m honored to be right here.
Katie: I believe we’re going to get into some crucial subjects as we speak and also you’re going to get to unfold a number of perception into some probably very complicated areas of medication. And for background, earlier than we soar into these specifics, I might love so that you can give us a little bit bit of truly your personal story as a result of I do know you began off as an ER physician after which transitioned into the work that you just do now. And I believe this story additionally entails the start of your three youngsters in a means. So I might love to listen to your background and your story and the way it led to what’s now your life’s work.
Nashat: Yeah, nice query. That’s a really concerned story. However yeah, heaps and many years within the emergency room. And I spent a few years really working in a degree one trauma heart within the Bronx. So you possibly can think about the scope of issues that I noticed was very, very broad. I lived in New York Metropolis for about 15 years earlier than I moved to Houston.
And what I spotted within the emergency room was I used to be discovering that we had been utilizing an acute care mannequin to deal with power illness. And so what occurred within the emergency room was we ended up having a revolving door. So sufferers would are available in and we’d deal with them. We’d put a band support on the issue. They’d exit the door after which they’d instantly return and are available again.
So I began to note this sample and I assumed, okay, nicely, clearly there’s one thing unsuitable with this conventional mannequin. And there’s in all probability some paradigm shifts which are wanted, however fairly actually, I didn’t actually know what or how, as a result of I had gone to medical college and I used to be mainly simply training what I had been taught.
So quick ahead, a few years later, I sadly misplaced my mother in 2018 and she or he was palms down in all probability the healthiest individual I knew. She labored out repeatedly, she ate natural, you identify it, she did all of it. Actually advanced carbohydrates, she type of did all of the issues. And sadly begin developed a really quickly progressive neurodegenerative illness. And right here I used to be as an ER physician, saved lives for a residing, but I couldn’t save my mother.
And so she went from nicely and spinning with me a number of occasions per week to gone over a course of seven months. So it was very, very tragic. She was my finest good friend. And so I actually used her as a supply of inspiration for the whole lot I do as we speak. And it was in that second that I spotted that the normal medical mannequin was not simply failing me and… My mother, one of many folks I’ve cherished essentially the most in my life, but in addition my sufferers.
And I began to look into different issues. Now, after all, I type of began this journey in all probability a number of, many, a few years earlier than that, as a result of I’ve at all times been very dedicated to well being and being proactive about it. However I began to do some purposeful drugs coaching, and that’s once I realized, okay, that is actually the path that I have to go. And, you already know, by that time, I had already had three children. , utilizing the normal fertility strategy. So clearly in medical college, you undergo years of coaching. I used to be a little bit older once I began. And so I fell into the class of unexplained infertility. So all my ranges had been regular. I used to be used to having common cycles. After which abruptly, right here I’m making an attempt month after month and unable to have these infants and develop the household of my desires.
So it was attention-grabbing once I began to discover purposeful drugs and went again and checked out the entire ladders that I had achieved throughout my fertility journey. And I had achieved a number of rounds of IUI and IVF, spent nicely over 100 thousand {dollars} on therapies to have my three youngsters. And whereas I’ve at all times, you already know, and nonetheless proceed to really feel extraordinarily blessed, there was one thing very damaged once I appeared again into my information and realized that there have been clear root causes that had been maintaining me from getting pregnant, and that in actuality, I didn’t want any of these fertility therapies within the first place. And that was an enormous aha second for me once I realized one thing has obtained to provide and one thing has obtained to alter.
Katie: That is smart. And I do know that time period unexplained infertility appears to be one of many issues that’s on the rise. And to me, it is smart that… Not clearly having the medical background right here, but it surely is smart that there can be root causes. As a result of my understanding is that issues like our fertility and positively like our pores and skin well being, our physique views these as like not first line of protection necessary. So if one thing else is happening within the physique that appears extra acute, the physique’s going to prioritize and it’d even be, to my understanding, one thing so simple as like elevated stress ranges. Or if the physique thinks it’s at risk, it might not need to prioritize the sources for issues like having the very best pores and skin we may have or making a child if it doesn’t really feel prefer it’s secure to do this.
However I do know there’s in all probability much more that goes into it past that. However is that what you imply by root causes? That there could be underlying issues within the physique that aren’t really inflicting a everlasting infertility, however a short lived one whereas the physique offers with these different issues?
Nashat: Completely, and also you hit the nail on the pinnacle. And there are such a lot of missed root causes that the normal fertility paradigm merely doesn’t handle. So intestine well being, for example, is a extremely huge one. Stress, you named it. I imply, the truth is that stress impacts our cortisol rhythm. So how a lot cortisol our our bodies naturally produce over the course of a day is altered after we are underneath extreme quantities of stress.
And right here’s the loopy factor is that our cortisol ranges really intervene with our intercourse hormone manufacturing. , they intervene with our thyroid. They intervene with our sleep and our potential to relaxation and restore at night time, which is such an necessary a part of mobile restore. I imply, I may go on and on with regard to the basis causes. There are multifold. And sadly, the normal strategy to fertility actually doesn’t take a look at them. There’s numerous stones left unturned.
And I can’t let you know what number of {couples} have come to me and have been advised, for example, they want a donor egg or, you already know, IVF is the one possibility. And one, they get pregnant with out IVF and two, they find yourself doing it with their very own egg and never with a donor egg. So completely there are root causes.
There’s really type of a… A vignette or a little bit metaphor that I used to type of speak about fertility and all of the fertility components. And, you already know, it’s actually female and male we have now to think about. I additionally assume that’s one of many greatest issues is in our conventional mannequin. Oftentimes we’re centered on the girl. And we have now to give attention to each side of the equation. And so I type of, I don’t know in case you ever performed with dominoes if you had been little and lined them up and also you push one down and so they all go down. I see in case you line it, I consider the dominoes as mainly female and male fertility components all combined collectively. And they also’re all combined collectively, we’re lining them up. But when just a few of them are just a bit too far aside, we’re going to push down the dominoes and so they’re not all going to go down, which doesn’t imply which you can’t get pregnant. It simply means we have to make some shifts, transfer just a few dominoes a little bit nearer collectively, after which we are able to get pregnant naturally. Does that make sense?
Katie: It does make sense. And I might guess conjures up a number of hope in {couples}. I’m positive that desirous to have a child and never with the ability to is a really deeply painful expertise. So in all probability that message brings a number of hope to {couples} who’re experiencing that. But it surely additionally looks as if that is going to be, it’s going to have constructive ripples in so many areas as a result of I had one other visitor that defined it so fantastically. She stated, each time you’re having what you’d name a symptom, your physique is definitely mounting a therapeutic response. Your physique’s making an attempt to heal and both perhaps wants one thing it doesn’t have or it has one thing it doesn’t want. But when we are able to work out tips on how to assist our our bodies in that therapeutic response, then what we view because the symptom typically goes away.
And so I believe your root trigger perspective takes that into consideration so fantastically and likewise conjures up hope that for lots of those {couples}, perhaps their infertility doesn’t want these extra intensive therapies. And I might guess by addressing that root trigger, they’re in all probability additionally growing their odds of a more healthy being pregnant and higher outcomes for the child as nicely, as a result of they’re attending to the extra foundational issues. Is that your expertise as nicely?
Nashat: Completely, completely, 100%. What we do within the 90 days pre-conception straight influences egg and sperm well being, and likewise clearly influences one, the probabilities of conception and the probabilities of having a wholesome child. And really the scientific analysis and research have proven that by being proactive within the pre-conception interval, which is admittedly 90 days previous to conception, 90 to 120 days, you’ll even have a baby with fewer well being issues, not simply short-term, however really power long-term issues too.
I’m unsure in case you’re acquainted or our viewers is conversant in the idea of Epigenetics, however Epigenetics is type of all the trend proper now as a result of we even have the facility, though we move down the identical DNA, we are able to’t change the DNA that we move down, however our DNA is advanced. So we have now on and off switches for our DNA. And by making the fitting decisions and getting ready our our bodies, optimizing our well being in the course of the 90 to 120 day preconception interval, we are able to really activate the great DNA and switch off the dangerous DNA. And so what you get is definitely a genetically extra favorable youngster. Which is wild.
Katie: That’s fascinating and it is smart. I’m curious if perhaps new information has up to date our understanding of this space, however I do know for a very long time it was thought that egg well being was considerably static and if that was the issue, there was nothing you might do to enhance it. Is that also the case or as we’ve discovered extra, is that truly not as static as we as soon as thought?
Nashat: Completely false, 100%. Yeah, it’s completely a fluid factor. And AMH is a quantity that may generally be actually traumatic for girls who’re making an attempt to get pregnant. So AMH stands for Anti-Mullerian Hormone and it’s historically used as an indicator of ovarian reserve and like what number of eggs you could have left. And actually what’s AMH? I actually assume it’s necessary for girls to know that AMH is solely a hormone that’s produced by the outer layer of the egg that’s type of in hibernation within the ovary. And the cool factor is that by influencing egg well being, we are able to really enhance AMH. AMH was as soon as regarded as a static quantity that doesn’t change. Nevertheless, we’ve confirmed time and time once more that that’s certainly false.
In reality, my protocol has as a lot as quadrupled AMH in ladies. So historically, a girl with a low AMH might not be thought-about, for example, an IVF candidate. Particularly if they’ve an AMH as little as say 0.2. However in my expertise, I’ve been capable of work on egg well being proactively with my {couples}, quadruple that AMH, after which they find yourself getting pregnant naturally and never even needing IVF. So it’s completely one thing we are able to affect. It’s by no means too late. And that’s a part of the rationale that I’m not, I don’t purchase into the idea that, you already know, 35 is just like the lifeless finish of the highway, which is what we’ve been taught. What’s caught in medical college?
So, you already know, sadly, I believe a part of the issue is also that. It takes about 50 to 100 years for scientific research and analysis to type of develop into the usual of care. And so a number of what we study in medical college is admittedly antiquated and relies on research which are utterly outdated versus I discover that in a root reason for purposeful drugs strategy we’re really being proactive and taking motion on research, analysis, and biochemistry that we’ve come to know within the final 10 to twenty years.
Katie: That’s such an excellent level. And it’s one of many causes I’m so fond of claiming on right here that on the finish of the day, we’re every our personal major well being care supplier, as a result of we’re those selecting the inputs that go in our physique every day, we’re selecting our life-style and weight-reduction plan components that may make such an enormous distinction. And we’re the one ones who’ve the accountability for our personal well being. And I do assume the very best outcomes occur when you could have suppliers such as you who’re deeply invested in studying the leading edge science, understanding the affected person, like asking the fitting questions and attending to first rules of this. However I believe it’s additionally actually necessary for folks to be the drivers of their very own well being and understand how a lot energy we have now really to shift so a lot of these items in fertility and in each space of well being, I really feel like.
One other space I do know of this that’s typically talked about, and I’ve seen a number of information headlines round is the decline in sperm depend and the beautiful drastic numbers from even two generations in the past to now. Are you seeing that in your apply as nicely? And is that additionally reversible in particular person males?
Nashat: Completely. So really, sperm counts are projected to go to zero within the subsequent 40 to 50 years. How about that? I don’t know the place that’s going to go away, you already know, our youngsters and their youngsters sooner or later. However sure, completely. That is among the causes that I mandate once I work with {couples}, I really want to work with each members of the couple, female and male, as a result of 50% of infertility does have a male issue related to it. So, you already know, it’s not utterly the person’s fault 50% of the time, however 50% of the time, there’s something contributing to the state of affairs.
I believe one of many issues is, for example, a number of motility and morphology are at a decrease than they’ve actually ever been earlier than. And people numbers are persevering with to say no. So that’s one thing that we’re very proactively engaged on. And sure, it’s completely reversible. Once more, it takes, you already know, I believe one of many key issues for folks to know is that it takes about 90 to 120 days for the sperm to develop. So we are able to begin from zero each time and create wonderful, you already know, sperm high quality, if we do the work. But it surely’s actually about optimizing, you already know, the physique in a wholesome surroundings.
And that type of ties into what you had been speaking about earlier. And I at all times say the physique is wise, proper? So the physique is aware of when it’s a secure place to create a child, and when it ought to perhaps not. So I at all times inform my {couples} who’re struggling to conceive, it’s not as a result of you possibly can’t get pregnant, your physique is speaking to you, and it’s screaming for assist. So let’s give it the assistance and assist that it wants, in order that we are able to get you simply, you already know, to your aim of rising your loved ones and pure conception.
Katie: I like that. And likewise to your level, I’ve seen this occur in different areas of medication as nicely. The way you talked about it could take a very long time for one thing to get from analysis into apply, which is smart, understanding how busy docs are and all the method that has to occur from one thing to be validated after which taught after which now develop into widespread apply. However I do assume it typically means there are gaps that folks like purposeful drugs docs and even sufferers, I see a number of sufferers, I’ve seen it within the thyroid house are type of driving that change by requesting totally different lab exams or requesting totally different therapies. In order that’s again to that entire the very best outcomes occur when you could have an invested affected person and an informed physician working collectively as companions. So I like that that’s the way you view it as nicely.
And also you talked about your protocol that you’ve got. I’m curious, I do know there’s in all probability lots that goes into this, however what are a number of the baseline issues that you just advocate to {couples} to start that technique of enhancing fertility?
Nashat: Yeah, nicely, the very first thing is admittedly getting an entire image of what’s occurring. And I really did a reel about this in my Instagram speaking concerning the labs that you actually need to get to work at fertility. , I’m not an enormous believer of needing loopy costly superior purposeful lab testing. Sure, there’s a time and a spot and I do use all of these exams in my apply, however we are able to get actually, we are able to get began in a quite simple means by simply doing common serum labs. So issues that I take a look at, for example, are some markers for the intestine. We’re markers for irritation. We’re in search of the potential of any autoimmune illness, thyroid. After all we’re wanting on the hormones, however fertility isn’t just about hormones and reproductive organs, it’s about all the physique. So I do care what your lipid ranges are. There are a number of issues that I care about with the intention to put together for conception that aren’t essentially prioritized in your regular fertility journey. In order that’s undoubtedly one of many issues that I search for when it comes to evaluation.
And I additionally take a look at signs as a result of generally, such as you stated, the symptom is, it provides us a number of perception. We in purposeful drugs have one thing known as a Medical Signs Questionnaire, which is a scientific device that we use to trace progress and likewise get an thought of what could also be occurring underneath the hood that isn’t displaying up within the labs. As a result of it’s not, sure, we’re labs and biochemistry, however I additionally care about what my sufferers and purchasers are feeling. So if someone involves me and so they’re like, I’m sleeping terribly, I’ve utter exhaustion each morning. And though I sleep for eight hours, I really feel like I’ve been hit by a truck within the morning. I could not essentially see that on a daily serum lab, however that’s info for me that then I can glean from and take motion to create mainly a personalised plan that’s customizable to their biochemistry and what their physique must develop into essentially the most fertile self.
Katie: That to me is so hopeful to listen to as a result of I do know I had the expertise within the thyroid world of being advised my labs had been regular and telling a number of docs, however I’m having, my hair is falling out. I’m exhausted. I’m actually taking a nap in entrance of the door so my children can’t run in visitors. I’m so drained. And they’d inform me like, nicely, that’s simply regular when you could have children. And in hindsight, it was not regular, however I’m so excited to listen to that an increasing number of, particularly in purposeful drugs, which I believe is admittedly main this cost, we’re taking into consideration the precise expertise of the affected person together with the info that we now have a lot extra entry to. It is smart that each of these can be beneficial instruments on this course of and never unique of one another by any means.
Are there any widespread dietary issues that you just see occurring or which are seemingly useful in enhancing fertility or dietary supplements or what are a number of the type of core locations you begin with that?
Nashat: Yeah, completely. I imply, I actually begin with fundamentals, proper? So I at all times say optimum well being is a lifelong journey as a result of all of us have room for enchancment, together with myself. So far as dietary pointers, one of many first issues we need to do is admittedly eradicate all of the extremely inflammatory meals. So issues like gluten, dairy, soy, corn, peanuts, these are issues that type of proper off the bat, we need to actually eliminate. And I at all times inform my {couples} like, hear, this isn’t without end. That is for us to guage and type of lower irritation, lower stress on the physique. After which we are able to add them again in in a really personalized, gradual, managed means to determine what’s been inflicting the issue.
I imply, there are such a lot of {couples} who come to me and so they don’t assume {that a} sure meals is a matter. And it’s not till we eradicate it after which attempt to add it again in, that we begin to actually perceive what’s occurring within the physique.
I’ll provide you with only a whole aspect instance, which is, you already know, pertains to my son. Certainly one of my twins was, my different children had been complaining that he was maintaining them up as a result of he was loud night breathing a lot. And so, you already know, I didn’t actually assume an excessive amount of of it, however then, you already know, finally considered one of them took a video and confirmed it to me the subsequent morning and I used to be like, oh my gosh, yeah, he really is just not actually respiratory nicely as a result of he’s loud night breathing so loudly. So he occurred to have a verify up with a standard pediatrician, which I like our pediatrician. And naturally she stated, nicely, perhaps he’s obtained a tonsil and adenoid downside. I believe he actually must go see ENT as a result of that is harmful that he’s respiratory like this.
So as a substitute of doing that, I made a decision to eradicate dairy. And inside two weeks the loud night breathing was gone. He now not had, you already know, this runny nostril that had type of sneezing and allergy kind signs. And that’s simply an instance in a baby and he’s solely 10 years previous of how one thing could also be inflicting an underlying type of baseline degree of irritation. And we could not even comprehend it. I additionally discover that a number of us study to dwell with signs that we expect are regular and we don’t actually understand how good we are able to really feel till they’re gone. After which we had been like, oh, okay, nicely, that is fairly superior. So I’m positive you skilled that with the, within the thyroid house.
Katie: Completely. Each with that after which I believe doing a number of interior work and getting myself out of a state of stress on a regular basis, I didn’t even understand how chronically I had felt all these issues till they went away. And it was drastic. And I do know I keep in mind feeling just like the energizer bunny at first when that first shifted as a result of I simply had all this power I hadn’t had earlier than. I do know additionally in your work and your protocol, you additionally contact on the detox aspect. And I really feel like not a number of fertility docs are addressing this and I like that you just do. Are you able to clarify the detoxing reference to fertility and the way you try this together with your sufferers?
Nashat: Yeah, nice query. So sadly, we dwell in an industrialized world and we’re uncovered to toxins 24/7. And simply the act of getting up and preparing for work within the morning in our own residence exposes most of us to over 200 toxins of which greater than half are personagenic. So fairly scary. There’s a number of issues that we are able to do in our properties to make them much less poisonous, however the actuality is that we are able to’t additionally dwell in a bubble. I undoubtedly, I don’t assume that’s sensible. I don’t assume it’s sustainable. I don’t dwell in a bubble, however I do adhere to the worth of doing, for example, a quarterly detox.
And so I really created my first detox program again in 2020 in the course of the pandemic. I discovered that folks had been underneath an incredible quantity of stress and so they had been actually seeking to optimize their well being and caught in their very own properties. And so I created a four-week detox program that I took folks via. And inside the first 12 months of getting my program, I put over 500 folks via it. And it was wonderful the transformation that was skilled. And this was a variety of individuals as a result of toxins are saved in fats. And so as soon as we’re capable of flush out toxins, one, there’s a number of issues that change. Our energies shift. I had one lady inform me her eyesight obtained higher. I had some ladies who had been going via menopause and hormonal modifications that stated that that obtained considerably higher as a result of they had been really capable of detoxify estrogen.
So detox is admittedly necessary on the subject of common well being. And on the subject of fertility, there are a number of toxins that we’re uncovered to which are really xenoestrogens. And they also mimic hormones and type of wreak havoc within the physique. So detoxifying your estrogen appropriately is such a essential a part of a fertility and total well being journey, particularly in my ladies who’re struggling with PCOS or endometriosis. They’re going to be in an estrogen dominant state and so they have to have the ability to steadiness out their hormones and having correctly working detox organs is admittedly essential.
I do assume it’s actually necessary to speak about the truth that detox is type of a little bit little bit of a controversial time period on the market. And I believe once I speak about detox, I’m speaking about an entire meals detox. I’m not speaking about juice cleanses. I’m not speaking about simply dietary supplements and ingesting water. I’m not speaking about ravenous. I’m speaking about consuming a nutrient dense meals that’s balanced and colourful and thoughtfully sourced protein. I’m speaking a couple of detox the place we really nourish the physique’s detoxing methods naturally.
So for example, our liver has two phases of detoxing. And so to assist Section 1 of our liver detox, we need to nourish the physique with numerous nutritional vitamins, minerals and vitamins. For Section 2, we want a distribution of amino acids to assist that. And basically what we’re doing after we’re type of revving up the liver, I at all times say the liver is your laundromat, we’re taking like fats soluble toxins, we’re turning them into water soluble toxins in order that our physique can then eliminate them via our breath, sweat, defecation and urination. And so by doing that, we’re type of cleaning the physique of disruptors which may be wreaking havoc and negatively impacting our fertility. And we do it in a really mild means. That’s one other factor persons are at all times questioning am I going to be within the rest room all day? I’m like, no, completely not. You aren’t. It’s very, very mild. In reality, most of my {couples} and purchasers don’t even know that they’re doing it.
Katie: That’s such an necessary distinction. I at all times attempt to keep in mind like detox is just not a factor to your, you do to your physique. Detox is a factor that your physique does naturally which you can assist and make it extra environment friendly at, but it surely’s already is aware of how to do this. So I’m glad that you just made that distinction and that if this isn’t like actually harsh cleanses or taking… Know, issues which are going to flush your physique and deplete you of issues. That is really simply supporting what the physique already is aware of tips on how to do in its knowledge and assist it to do it extra effectively or assist to type of like unkink if one thing’s already blocked in you, however your physique already has that knowledge.
You additionally touched on, you talked about PCOS and endometriosis, and I do know these had been two classes I used to be going to ask particularly about as a result of it looks as if ladies in these classes are sometimes given type of grim information associated to their fertility or that there can no less than be fertility considerations that come together with the analysis in both these circumstances. However I’m guessing from what you stated that these are literally typically resolvable as nicely and sometimes with out excessive measures. However is there a distinction in how you’re employed with ladies who’ve PCOS or endometriosis or totally different issues to pay attention to for girls who do have these?
Nashat: So sure and no. No in a way that each one that comes into my world is handled as a singular particular person. So PCOS, endometriosis, you already know, regardless of the circumstance is, you already know, I see each single one that comes into my world is exclusive as a result of I type of consider all of the physique methods that we’re tackling for fertility as a cobweb. And so if we pull on one factor, the whole lot else goes to shift. The excellent news for girls with PCOS, which is type of attention-grabbing, I really had a dialogue with someone the opposite day about this, is that a number of occasions with PCOS, ladies will not be ovulating each single month. And so one of many type of unknown advantages or generally perks is that as a result of they’re not ovulating, a lot all through their life. They are often older in age and nonetheless ovulate and conceive naturally, as a result of their AMH is usually a little bit bit larger. In reality, I’ve a girl who I simply spoke with final week who’s 44 and has an AMH of two.4. Now, clearly AMH may also be generally falsely elevated, however nonetheless for essentially the most half, since you’re not ovulating as a lot. , and never, and possibly not each cycle, you could have a bigger egg reserve than you even understand that you’ve got. So I really feel like that provides a number of ladies hope with PCOS.
And there’s a number of issues, like I stated, that we are able to do to detoxify estrogen and steadiness hormones naturally. That we are able to get the physique into the fitting rhythm. One of many different instruments that I forgot to say that I might use fairly intimately in my remedy protocols is I take a look at temperature monitoring as a result of basal physique temperature monitoring over the course of a girl’s cycle provides us a number of perception.
And I at all times, I’m an ER physician, proper? So I’ve spent my profession studying a number of EKGs’ and I type of say that the BBT chart is type of just like the EKG of fertility within the sense that it’s the window into what the physique is doing. I can inform if the follicular and luteal phases are too brief, too lengthy, in the event that they’re ovulating on the proper time, we are able to additionally see intestine points manifest on a temperature chart. We will see thyroid points manifest and on and on. When {couples} come to me, they’re like, nicely, are we going to trace labs each single month? And I’m like, no, not essentially. We could should repeat labs in a sure time frame. However so far as what I’m doing on a weekly foundation to maintain observe, to ensure we’re going the fitting means is I’m monitoring your signs and I’m monitoring your temperatures. And that provides us a wealth of knowledge.
Katie: I’m so glad you introduced that up. So I’ve been doing a little type of pure household planning for nearly 20 years now. And so I’ve tracked my basal physique temperature over a number of years. And I’ve undoubtedly seen once I was within the thyroid points section, I had a a lot decrease basal physique temperature and now it stays a lot larger, which I view as an excellent signal as a result of it means hopefully my metabolism is working significantly better. My sleep is actually improved.
Is it very particular individual by individual? I do know that I see, for example, decrease temperatures after which temperature rise within the second half of my cycle very reliably. However inside that sample, are there perfect ranges of temperature or does that adjust by individual to individual? So for example, on this a part of my cycle, my basal physique temperature is like 98.2. Is there like a goal we’re aiming for good temperatures in several factors of the cycle or is it relative to the person?
Nashat: It’s relative to the person. I actually take a look at the sample. The sample is a very powerful factor. So estrogen tends to be a really cooling hormone. So we’re in search of low regular temperatures within the first half of the cycle. We’re in search of a spike after you could have your LH surge in the course of your cycle. After which progesterone is a really warming hormone.
So we’re in search of a stupendous heat curve in the direction of the latter half of the cycle. I do discover that you’re going to have actually rock and roll in cycles in case you do have intestine well being points, in case you’re underneath a number of stress. I’ve seen some fairly huge alterations when it comes to if someone is touring and perhaps going between time zones. And right here’s the humorous factor, I may also inform when someone is dishonest on their weight-reduction plan as a result of their BBT charts held me. So I can inform straight away in the event that they’ve been actually good and perhaps they’ve a cheat week and consuming a number of inflammatory meals as a result of your physique reacts to the whole lot that you just do. You type of can’t cover from it.
Katie: That’s so fascinating. And I’ve been excited to see extra instruments out there just lately that assist this information be extra accessible to all of us. Like I do know early on for me, it was like particular thermometers having to make an precise bodily paper chart. And now apps can accomplish that a lot of this for us. And if I make it simpler in your aspect as nicely, as a result of you’ll be able to entry that information in actual time together with your sufferers. However undoubtedly on a private degree, I might encourage ladies to trace that as a result of it’s really easy now. And it’s such fascinating perception into your well being on a month-to-month foundation. So I’m very excited that that information is now out there.

What about {couples} who perhaps have been advised that they’ve already been via IVF or IUI and type of been advised they’re a misplaced trigger? Do you’re employed with {couples} like that? And do you discover that that’s not at all times the case, even when conventional drugs has given up on them?
Nashat: Nice query and completely. I don’t care if anybody’s… IUI or IVF as a result of we haven’t actually uncovered the basis reason for why it hasn’t labored. And really, I’ll let you know a humorous, an amazing story. And that may be a couple that got here into my world. And she or he, we really assist a number of healthcare suppliers as a result of, you already know, they discover me relatable as a result of I’m a historically educated board licensed doctor. And so I’ve a number of physicians that we really assist battling infertility.
And so this doctor occurs to be an endocrinologist, the irony of it, proper? However she grasp’s hormones, like that’s what she does for a residing. And so she got here to me and her husband is a doctor too, he was an inside drugs physician and so they had failed seven rounds of IUI. After which they went on and so they did three rounds of IVF. And as an endocrinologist, she knew precisely what was occurring on clearly a way more intimate degree than the everyday lay individual and sadly ended up getting overstimulated and obtained actually, actually sick from the entire hormones. So they’d been making an attempt for years, failed all of these rounds, had clearly spent an exorbitant amount of cash after which they discovered me and so they stated, nicely, what are you able to do for us as a result of we’re undoubtedly not going again to IUI or IVF. We wish is to develop a household. And I used to be like, nicely, let’s see what we are able to do.
And once I work with {couples}, one of many first issues I requested them to do is within the pre-conception interval, we’ve already, you already know, outlined as 90 to 120 days. And I believe 12 weeks, it’s type of like that completely satisfied place. So I at all times say for the 12 weeks that we’re working collectively, I would like us to only take away, you already know, actively making an attempt from the forefront of our minds and simply give attention to our well being, give attention to our relationship with our cherished one, give attention to bonding, you already know, give attention to into me, intimacy, since you need to be intimate and never since you’re making an attempt to create a child and create a life.
And so I had advised this you already know what, I want you to take a break for 12 weeks. So that you open to that. They stated, completely. They got here and so they labored with us. And we obtained an e-mail eight weeks into them working with us, apologizing as a result of they had been pregnant. And it was essentially the most heartwarming factor as a result of they had been like, we promised we weren’t making an attempt. However the backside line is right here is that this couple endocrinologist, internist, extremely educated board licensed physicians failed seven rounds of IUI, three failed rounds of IVF, after which get pregnant naturally in eight weeks. And it was not a coincidence is what I’m making an attempt to say.
It’s as a result of we had been really capable of dial again. , take a step again, take a hen’s eye view of all the physique, not simply our hormones and our fertility organs, work out the basis trigger after which heal the basis trigger from the inspiration up to ensure that them to have the ability to conceive naturally. And that’s one thing that I see time and time once more with the {couples} that I work with, is that even when the whole lot else has failed, there really remains to be an opportunity of pure fertility. We simply have to do the fitting issues in the fitting order based mostly on what their physique and biochemistry wants.
Katie: And that’s wonderful how rapidly too, that actually speaks to only how quickly the physique is ready to transfer again to a state of homeostasis. I’m positive even simply taking that stress out for eight weeks was in all probability super for them.
And also you touched on one thing else that I used to be going to ask, which is… That she type of reached a fatigue level with the hormones and the whole lot required for all of these cycles. And I ponder, is there a threat to these type of synthetic hormones being utilized in huge doses throughout all these rounds of IUI or IVF?
Nashat: Yeah, sadly, sure, I might say that, you already know, they are often linked to numerous power well being circumstances. , there are many hormone imbalances that may ensue afterwards. I can’t let you know what number of ladies have come to me after having gone via all these hormones and saying, you already know, my physique is destroyed. Now I’ve horrible sleep. I’ve gained, you already know, 30 kilos. I’ve a number of mind fog. , my muscle mass has been depleted as a result of what they’re doing is that they’re actually, like I say in my free masterclass on-line, that, you already know, the normal strategy is mainly forcing being pregnant on a physique that’s. Screaming I’m prepared.
And, you already know, and so it’s simply, it’s unhappy as a result of it clearly does have a number of unintended effects. And naturally, you already know, there may be, you already know, there are, there may be some information on the market to point that it may probably enhance threat of sure kinds of most cancers. It clearly actually depends upon what the person routine is, you already know, within the conventional strategy, there are such a lot of totally different regimens that may be given to a girl in several levels of stimulation. So I wouldn’t really feel snug making a blanket assertion, however I can say universally that it’s not a pleasing expertise. I went via it myself and I used to be very conservative with my doses precisely for that motive. However I nonetheless felt horrible within the course of.
And, you already know, and I actually… My coronary heart breaks when I’ve {couples} which have come to me in that state of exhaustion after having gone via all of that. After which they arrive to me after which after the very fact, they are saying, why didn’t we discover you sooner? , I want we had achieved this primary. Now, I do need to say that there’s a place for IUI and IVF, and it’s not that I’m not a believer in it. I simply imagine in uncovering the basis trigger and therapeutic the physique from the within out, optimizing well being. And actually exhausting all of our pure routes earlier than we flip to that, as a result of the truth is that. If we put together the physique and lay the inspiration earlier than we do IUI and IVF, we’re really going to have a lot larger success charges of the process themselves.
, one of many issues additionally that I discover is a little bit bit deceptive is when a fertility clinic quotes successful fee, it’s over six rounds of IVF, not one. I don’t find out about you, however I don’t know any lady who needs to undergo six rounds of IVF. I don’t know anybody, any lady who’s been capable of maintain that. I type of see folks tapping out. I believe essentially the most I’ve had is perhaps 4 or 5, however no one needs to undergo six cycles. It’s not sustainable.
Katie: Yeah. Nicely, that makes full sense too, that even when somebody does find yourself going the IVF route, that addressing all of these items would enhance the chance of a constructive end result there as nicely. It’s like I typically speak about in different areas of common wellness, it’s like in case you dial within the foundational issues, the sleep, the morning daylight, the hydration and weight-reduction plan, simply mild motion, all these issues, the rest you try this could be extra biohacking or extra sophisticated or dietary supplements that price cash, these are all going to be simpler in case you get these foundational items in line first. And it makes whole sense to me that that might even be the case within the fertility house as nicely.
And I might guess for lots of people listening, perhaps they’re someplace on the spectrum of this or will not be even making an attempt to get pregnant proper now, but it surely could be a consideration for the long run. Are there any type of good common rules at both totally different ages or simply typically good rules to take care of our fertility so long as doable? After which additionally simply to maintain our hormones wholesome as we grow old with fertility being linked to well being in so many different methods past simply having a child. Are there any good common pointers for all of us to bear in mind?
Nashat: Yeah, completely. So I’ve a free obtain, which is the ten steps to optimum well being, which I actually assume is type of a baseline basis for anyone making an attempt to optimize their well being, actually at any age, and actually getting ready for preconception. And a few of these ideas are issues that you just’ve already touched on.
Sleep might be probably the most underrated well being advocacy actions that anyone may take. And so I’m a agency believer in eight to 9 hours. And the factor is, we don’t simply need amount. We wish high quality of sleep. So I put on this little factor, an Oura ring, as a result of it helps me observe. You bought one, too. It helps me observe my sleep phases. And I do know actually in actual time whether or not I’m getting prime quality sleep or not. And generally it tells me once I’ve woken up in the course of the night time, and I don’t even do not forget that I’ve woken up and had damaged sleep. So sleep is admittedly necessary.
Hydration is one thing else that’s actually underrated. I at all times say you actually need to take half your physique weight in kilos, and that’s what number of ounces that it is best to drink over the course of the day. And if you’re consuming caffeine or exercising, then you definately undoubtedly need to speak a little bit bit extra onto that. I personally drink about three liters a day to remain hydrated.
Daylight is one thing you talked about that’s big. Getting simply good previous daylight and having your toes on the bottom, grounding is admittedly necessary. Daylight, often simply quarter-hour a day, particularly within the morning if you are able to do it. It actually does assist set the stage on your circadian rhythm and likewise enhance the standard of your sleep. What else?
Meals is admittedly, actually necessary. Sadly, the nutrient density of our meals has plummeted as a result of most of us don’t eat seasonally anymore. So I at all times say, in case you can attempt to eat seasonally and the way do you try this simply? Go to a farmer’s market. That’s in all probability the only approach to eat seasonally is as a result of in case you go to a farmer’s market, more often than not what they’ve goes to be solely the stuff that’s in season. I additionally say if you’re buying, keep on with the perimeter of the grocery retailer. That’s the place you’re going to seek out all of your perishables and your lean proteins.
And likewise, supply your protein thoughtfully. So issues like you already know, grass fed beef, you already know, hormone free and antibiotic free natural hen ideally free vary, you already know, all these kinds of issues are going to contribute to you nourishing your physique with extra nutrient-dense meals. As a result of I’m additionally a agency believer, sure, we want dietary supplements. I do use dietary supplements routinely with my {couples} with the intention to pace up the therapeutic course of. But it surely’s not for me, dietary supplements will not be without end. , in a really perfect world, we actually need to use a meals first strategy. And I try this with a number of my {couples}. So ladies who, for example, have low progesterone and lots or half of a cycle, are actually going to attempt to assist them with progesterone-forming meals and so forth. Fairly than, you already know, turning to, for example, a prescription or including one other complement. I imply, if we have now to do it, we are going to, after all, as a result of we need to get them, most {couples} who come to me are very anxious to begin, you already know, making an attempt to get pregnant. So we need to make the therapeutic course of as fast as doable.
However I believe in anyone who’s not actively in that section, and, you already know, you actually need to set your self up for optimum well being, i believe simply doing a number of the tenets motion is clearly a extremely necessary one too. Ensuring you’re getting your steps in day-after-day and ensuring you’re getting a mixture of power coaching and, you already know, cardio train. I believe muscle power might be probably the most underrated issues too, as we grow old. The quantity of muscle mass that you’ve got actually units the stage on your metabolism and vibrancy and longevity. So I believe muscle density and muscle power is admittedly necessary too. So these are just some. I believe I’ve extra on my free obtain that our listeners can undoubtedly entry.
Katie: I’ll be sure that these hyperlinks are included within the present notes and undoubtedly echo what you say, particularly about muscle and that the info on that’s actually compelling and we all know that that improves a number of outcomes as we grow old, not simply fertility, however even our threat of all-cause mortality and threat of damage, all of these issues are correlated with having sufficient muscle and we do lose some naturally as we age. So I really feel like that as a spotlight, particularly for girls, is such an amazing factor to give attention to.
And I might love to only dispel a little bit extra of the parable as nicely as a result of i do know once I was having infants, I had all of mine by 29, however I keep in mind ladies being there concurrently me and anyone over 35 was advised they had been superior to maternal age. And I do know ladies are advised fertility declines and it’s very arduous to get pregnant after 35. I might love to listen to your expertise with that and in case you’ve seen {couples} have the ability to get pregnant naturally after age 35 and as much as what age is that probably doable?
Nashat: So I get that query lots and I by no means need to put an age on it as a result of it simply depends upon your biochemistry. I imply, I’ve a girl who I talked to the opposite day who’s 44 and has an AMH of like 2.5 as a result of she’s had PCOS. She has common cycles. She has zero indicators on her labs and her signs of being perimenopausal. And so she’s someone that I advised, you already know what, I can get you pregnant naturally. Completely.
So I had all my children after the age of 35. I went via unnecessarily, you already know, invasive therapies with the intention to have my children as a result of I didn’t know then what I do know now. However I don’t actually see 35 as a deterrent. That I work with, the ladies that I work with, are over the age of 35. I do get some which are youthful, however for essentially the most half they… Over the age of 35 and I at all times inform them, you already know, age is only a quantity. , there’s a lot that we are able to do. , I’m very clear. I do imagine in that too. So once I do my discovery calls with my {couples}, I’m at all times very upfront and I inform them, you already know, if I don’t assume I will help you, I’m going to be the primary to let you know what the probabilities are. And I’m going to provide you my, you already know, finest skilled recommendation as to, you already know, essentially the most logical and finest subsequent step.
However, you already know, I’ve additionally been very pleasantly stunned. There have been {couples} the place I assumed, you already know, this may increasingly not work and so they’ve ended up getting pregnant naturally. So I type of say the sky’s the restrict. I imply, clearly if someone is having irregular cycles and having menopausal signs, you already know, these are, that’s when for me, it’s extra the signs which are going to drive that quantity quite than the precise age itself. I imply, we all know that clearly it turns into tougher. I imply, the statistics make that very clear, however I don’t assume it’s simply age. I believe it’s multifactorial is the underside line.
Katie: That is smart. And I do know you could have so many extra sources out there in your web site and then you definately work straight with {couples} as nicely. I’ll be sure that all of these hyperlinks are within the present notes so folks that may discover you and work with you straight. However I like that you just’re spreading this message of the physique’s potential to heal and transfer again to a state of fertility, even when folks have been advised by conventional drugs that they aren’t going to have the ability to have a child. And I like the work that you just’re doing and the way purpose-driven it’s for you and the way your journey has been. So I’ll be sure that these hyperlinks are included within the present notes. And a few questions I like to ask on the finish of interviews. The primary being if there’s a guide or variety of books which have had a profound influence on you personally and if that’s the case, what they’re and why.
Nashat: Gosh, I’ve so many to listing, however I’m going to select the latest one. And the latest one is a Joe Dispenza guide, which is Breaking the Behavior of Being Your self. What was actually fascinating about that guide is that it actually impressed me to attend a deep self-development retreat again in March, which was all about actually figuring out habits patterns in childhood and determining how they’re manifesting in my grownup life. And never simply understanding the habits patterns, however really studying to rewire my mind into a brand new means of being. And I really feel like that idea is so essential to every of our respective well being journeys, whether or not we’re making an attempt to get pregnant, whether or not we’re making an attempt to steadiness our hormones, whether or not we’re making an attempt to only develop into the healthiest model of ourselves, no matter our private well being targets is, as a result of new habits are actually, actually arduous to kind. And a number of us have been caught on this vicious cycle and a rut as a result of life is busy and life is consuming.
And having the instruments and the information to have the ability to rewire your mind and type of create a brand new model of your self has been actually, actually highly effective for me prior to now six months or so. And I’ve been capable of actually apply that to the supply of my care to my {couples} and my sufferers, as a result of all of us, with the intention to optimize well being, are going to be required to make a wide range of life-style modifications that may really feel like we’re going a little bit bit in opposition to the grain. In order that’s in all probability considered one of my favorites proper now.
Katie: I like that. I’ll put that hyperlink within the present notes as nicely. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners as we speak that might be associated to the whole lot we’ve talked about or fully unrelated recommendation that you just discover useful.
Nashat: Yeah, I simply say don’t lose hope. And, you already know, I don’t subscribe to the idea that as we grow old, you already know, we begin to really feel extra drained, we begin to get fatter, we begin to have poorer sleep. I don’t subscribe to any of that. And that is alluding to what you stated earlier, Katie, I do imagine that you’re the CEO of your personal well being.
And I do really feel like it’s important that each considered one of us are at all times striving to optimize our well being and actually additionally perceive the “why”. I don’t imagine in band-aid approaches. I don’t imagine simply in doing what your physician says. I imagine in actually understanding why you’re doing what you’re doing in an effort to make an intentional knowledgeable selection in an effort to dwell an extended, vibrant life. And the entire {couples} on the market struggling to get pregnant, there may be hope. And simply because someone has advised you which you can’t get pregnant or that you just want a donor egg or that is by no means going to occur for you, I say comply with your intestine. I at all times ask my {couples}, like, do you are feeling like in your intestine you will get pregnant naturally? And 9 occasions out of 10 of individuals speaking to me say sure, however I’ve been advised in any other case. And my recommendation is belief your intestine.
Katie: I like that. I believe that’s an ideal place to wrap up for as we speak. This has been such a enjoyable dialog. Like I stated, I like the work you’re doing and I’m so glad we lastly obtained to speak. Thanks a lot on your time and for being right here.
Nashat: Thanks, Katie, it’s been a pleasure. Honored to be right here, thanks.
Katie: And thanks as at all times to all of you for listening and sharing your most dear sources, your time, your power, and your consideration with us as we speak.
