Katie: Hello 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 rely and easy methods 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 Certified Emergency Physician and now she’s considered one of only some Functional Medicine Certified Physicians on the planet, specializing in regenerative drugs and particularly fertility.
And she 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 facet of fertility, which I’ve not but touched on on this podcast. She talks about a whole lot of the elements that go into fertility, why in lots of circumstances {couples} are in a position to get pregnant naturally, even when they’ve been advised they’ll’t, or even when they’ve had IVF or IUI. And she takes a root trigger strategy that’s very individualized couple by couple, but additionally shares a whole lot of the common issues which might be useful on this podcast. She’s a extremely enjoyable interview in particular person to speak to, and I believe that you’ll take pleasure in this dialog and study rather a lot. So let’s be a part of Dr. Nashat. Dr. Nashat, welcome and thanks a lot for being right here.
Nashat: Thank you for having me. I’m honored to be right here.
Katie: I believe we’re going to get into some essential matters in the present day and also you’re going to get to unfold a whole lot of perception into some probably very complicated areas of drugs. And for background, earlier than we bounce into these specifics, I might love so that you can give us a little bit bit of really 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 simply do now. And I believe this story additionally includes the start of your three kids in a approach. 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. But yeah, tons and many years within the emergency room. And I spent a few years really working in a degree one trauma middle within the Bronx. So you’ll be able to think about the scope of issues that I noticed was very, very broad. I lived in New York City 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 have 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 would put a band help on the issue. They would exit the door after which they might instantly return and are available again.
So I began to note this sample and I believed, okay, properly, clearly there’s one thing flawed with this conventional mannequin. And there’s in all probability some paradigm shifts which might be wanted, however fairly truthfully, 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 he or she was fingers down in all probability the healthiest particular person I knew. She labored out commonly, she ate natural, you identify it, she did all of it. Really advanced carbohydrates, she form 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 dwelling, but I couldn’t save my mother.
And so she went from properly and spinning with me a number of instances per week to gone over a course of seven months. So it was very, very tragic. She was my greatest good friend. And so I actually used her as a supply of inspiration for every thing I do in the present day. And it was in that second that I spotted that the standard medical mannequin was not simply failing me and… My mother, one of many individuals I’ve cherished essentially the most in my life, but additionally my sufferers.
And I began to look into different issues. Now, in fact, I form 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. But I began to do some purposeful drugs coaching, and that’s after I realized, okay, that is actually the route that I must go. And, you realize, by that time, I had already had three children. You know, utilizing the standard fertility strategy. So clearly in medical college, you undergo years of coaching. I used to be a little bit older after I began. And so I fell into the class of unexplained infertility. So all my ranges have been regular. I used to be used to having common cycles. And then unexpectedly, right here I’m attempting month after month and unable to have these infants and develop the household of my goals.
So it was attention-grabbing after I began to discover purposeful drugs and went again and checked out all the ladders that I had executed throughout my fertility journey. And I had executed a number of rounds of IUI and IVF, spent properly over 100 thousand {dollars} on therapies to have my three kids. And whereas I’ve at all times, you realize, and nonetheless proceed to really feel extraordinarily blessed, there was one thing very damaged after I appeared again into my information and realized that there have been clear root causes that have been conserving 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 after I realized one thing has received to provide and one thing has received 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 could be root causes. Because my understanding is that issues like our fertility and definitely like our pores and skin well being, our physique views these as like not first line of protection essential. So if one thing else is happening within the physique that appears extra acute, the physique’s going to prioritize and it would even be, to my understanding, one thing so simple as like elevated stress ranges. Or if the physique thinks it’s in peril, it might not wish to prioritize the assets for issues like having the very best pores and skin we might have or making a child if it doesn’t really feel prefer it’s protected to do this.
But I do know there’s in all probability much more that goes into it past that. But 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: Absolutely, and also you hit the nail on the top. And there are such a lot of ignored root causes that the standard fertility paradigm merely doesn’t tackle. So intestine well being, as an illustration, is a extremely large 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 once we are below extreme quantities of stress.
And right here’s the loopy factor is that our cortisol ranges really intrude with our intercourse hormone manufacturing. You know, they intrude with our thyroid. They intrude with our sleep and our capacity to relaxation and restore at evening, which is such an essential a part of mobile restore. I imply, I might go on and on with regard to the foundation causes. There are multifold. And sadly, the standard strategy to fertility actually doesn’t take a look at them. There’s a number of stones left unturned.
And I can’t let you know what number of {couples} have come to me and have been advised, as an illustration, they want a donor egg or, you realize, 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 form of a… A vignette or a little bit metaphor that I used to form of discuss fertility and all of the fertility elements. And, you realize, it’s actually female and male we now have to contemplate. I additionally suppose that’s one of many greatest issues is in our conventional mannequin. Oftentimes we’re targeted on the lady. And we now have to give attention to either side of the equation. And so I form of, I don’t know in the event you ever performed with dominoes whenever you have been little and lined them up and also you push one down and so they all go down. I see in the event you line it, I consider the dominoes as mainly female and male fertility elements all blended collectively. And in order that they’re all blended collectively, we’re lining them up. But if a number of 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 could’t get pregnant. It simply means we have to make some shifts, transfer a number of 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 evokes a whole lot 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 whole lot of hope to {couples} who’re experiencing that. But it additionally looks as if that is going to be, it’s going to have optimistic ripples in so many areas as a result of I had one other visitor that defined it so superbly. She mentioned, each time you’re having what you’d name a symptom, your physique is definitely mounting a therapeutic response. Your physique’s attempting to heal and both possibly wants one thing it doesn’t have or it has one thing it doesn’t want. But if we are able to determine easy methods to help our our bodies in that therapeutic response, then what we view because the symptom usually goes away.
And so I believe your root trigger perspective takes that into consideration so superbly and in addition evokes hope that for lots of those {couples}, possibly 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 newborn as properly, as a result of they’re attending to the extra foundational issues. Is that your expertise as properly?
Nashat: Absolutely, completely, 100%. What we do within the 90 days pre-conception immediately influences egg and sperm well being, and in addition clearly influences one, the possibilities of conception and the possibilities 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 the event you’re acquainted or our viewers is aware of the idea of Epigenetics, however Epigenetics is form of all the fad proper now as a result of we even have the facility, though we go down the identical DNA, we are able to’t change the DNA that we go down, however our DNA is advanced. So we now have on and off switches for our DNA. And by making the fitting decisions and making ready our our bodies, optimizing our well being through 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 baby. Which is wild.
Katie: That’s fascinating and it is smart. I’m curious if possibly 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 may 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: Absolutely false, 100%. Yeah, it’s completely a fluid factor. And AMH is a quantity that may typically be actually traumatic for girls who’re attempting 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 have got left. And actually what’s AMH? I actually suppose it’s essential for girls to grasp that AMH is solely a hormone that’s produced by the outer layer of the egg that’s form 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 considered a static quantity that doesn’t change. However, we’ve confirmed time and time once more that that’s certainly false.
In truth, my protocol has as a lot as quadrupled AMH in girls. So historically, a lady with a low AMH is probably not thought-about, as an illustration, an IVF candidate. Especially if they’ve an AMH as little as say 0.2. But in my expertise, I’ve been in a position to 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 explanation that I’m not, I don’t purchase into the idea that, you realize, 35 is just like the useless finish of the highway, which is what we’ve been taught. What is caught in medical college?
So, you realize, sadly, I believe a part of the issue is also that. It takes about 50 to 100 years for scientific research and analysis to form of turn into the usual of care. And so a whole lot of what we study in medical college is admittedly antiquated and relies on research which might be utterly outdated versus I discover that in a root reason behind purposeful drugs strategy we’re really being proactive and taking motion on research, analysis, and biochemistry that we’ve come to grasp within the final 10 to twenty years.
Katie: That’s such a great 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 main 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 loss plan elements 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 suppose the very best outcomes occur when you have got suppliers such as you who’re deeply invested in studying the innovative science, understanding the affected person, like asking the fitting questions and attending to first ideas of this. But I believe it’s additionally actually essential for individuals to be the drivers of their very own well being and notice how a lot energy we now have really to shift so lots of these items in fertility and in each space of well being, I really feel like.
Another space I do know of this that’s usually talked about, and I’ve seen a whole lot of information headlines round is the decline in sperm rely and the gorgeous drastic numbers from even two generations in the past to now. Are you seeing that in your observe as properly? And is that additionally reversible in particular person males?
Nashat: Absolutely. 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 depart, you realize, our youngsters and their kids sooner or later. But sure, completely. That is likely one of the causes that I mandate after I work with {couples}, I actually need 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 realize, 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, as an illustration, a whole lot of motility and morphology are at a decrease than they’ve actually ever been earlier than. And these 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. Again, it takes, you realize, I believe one of many key issues for individuals to grasp 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 realize, sperm high quality, if we do the work. But it’s actually about optimizing, you realize, the physique in a wholesome setting.
And that form of ties into what you have 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 protected place to create a child, and when it ought to possibly not. So I at all times inform my {couples} who’re struggling to conceive, it’s not as a result of you’ll be able to’t get pregnant, your physique is speaking to you, and it’s screaming for assist. So let’s give it the assistance and help that it wants, in order that we are able to get you simply, you realize, to your aim of rising your loved ones and pure conception.
Katie: I really like that. And additionally to your level, I’ve seen this occur in different areas of drugs as properly. How you talked about it could possibly take a very long time for one thing to get from analysis into observe, 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 turn into frequent observe. But I do suppose it usually means there are gaps that folks like purposeful drugs docs and even sufferers, I see a whole lot of sufferers, I’ve seen it within the thyroid area are form of driving that change by requesting totally different lab exams or requesting totally different therapies. So that’s again to that entire the very best outcomes occur when you have got an invested affected person and an informed physician working collectively as companions. So I really like that that’s the way you view it as properly.
And you talked about your protocol that you’ve got. I’m curious, I do know there’s in all probability rather a lot that goes into this, however what are a number of the baseline issues that you simply suggest to {couples} to start that means of enhancing fertility?
Nashat: Yeah, properly, the very first thing is admittedly getting an entire image of what’s happening. And I really did a reel about this in my Instagram speaking concerning the labs that you really want to get to work at fertility. You know, I’m not an enormous believer of needing loopy costly superior purposeful lab testing. Yes, there’s a time and a spot and I do use all of these exams in my observe, however we are able to get actually, we are able to get began in a quite simple approach by simply doing common serum labs. So issues that I take a look at, as an illustration, are some markers for the intestine. We’re markers for irritation. We’re in search of the potential for any autoimmune illness, thyroid. Of course we’re trying 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 whole lot of issues that I care about as a way to put together for conception that aren’t essentially prioritized in your regular fertility journey. So 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 typically, such as you mentioned, the symptom is, it provides us a whole lot of perception. We in purposeful drugs have one thing referred to as a Medical Symptoms Questionnaire, which is a scientific instrument that we use to trace progress and in addition get an thought of what could also be happening below the hood that’s not exhibiting up within the labs. Because it’s not, sure, we’re labs and biochemistry, however I additionally care about what my sufferers and purchasers are feeling. So if any individual 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 an everyday serum lab, however that’s data 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 turn 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 have 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 might inform me like, properly, that’s simply regular when you have got 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 information that we now have a lot extra entry to. It is smart that each of these could be beneficial instruments on this course of and never unique of one another by any means.
Are there any frequent dietary issues that you simply see happening or which might be seemingly useful in enhancing fertility or dietary supplements or what are a number of the form 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. As far as dietary pointers, one of many first issues we wish to do is admittedly get rid of all of the extremely inflammatory meals. So issues like gluten, dairy, soy, corn, peanuts, these are issues that form of proper off the bat, we wish to actually eliminate. And I at all times inform my {couples} like, hear, this isn’t ceaselessly. This is for us to guage and form of lower irritation, lower stress on the physique. And then we are able to add them again in in a really custom-made, gradual, managed approach 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 suppose {that a} sure meals is a matter. And it’s not till we get rid of it after which attempt to add it again in, that we begin to actually perceive what’s occurring within the physique.
I’ll offer you only a complete facet instance, which is, you realize, pertains to my son. One of my twins was, my different children have been complaining that he was conserving them up as a result of he was loud night breathing a lot. And so, you realize, I didn’t actually suppose an excessive amount of of it, however then, you realize, ultimately considered one of them took a video and confirmed it to me the following morning and I used to be like, oh my gosh, yeah, he really just isn’t actually respiratory properly as a result of he’s loud night breathing so loudly. So he occurred to have a examine up with a standard pediatrician, which I really like our pediatrician. And in fact she mentioned, properly, possibly he’s received a tonsil and adenoid drawback. 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 get rid of dairy. And inside two weeks the loud night breathing was gone. He now not had, you realize, this runny nostril that had form 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 form of baseline degree of irritation. And we could not even comprehend it. I additionally discover that a whole lot of us study to stay with signs that we expect are regular and we don’t actually notice how good we are able to really feel till they’re gone. And then we have been like, oh, okay, properly, that is fairly superior. So I’m positive you skilled that with the, within the thyroid area.
Katie: Absolutely. Both with that after which I believe doing a whole lot of internal work and getting myself out of a state of stress on a regular basis, I didn’t even notice 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 vitality I hadn’t had earlier than. I do know additionally in your work and your protocol, you additionally contact on the detox facet. And I really feel like not a whole lot of fertility docs are addressing this and I really like that you simply do. Can you clarify the cleansing reference to fertility and the way you try this along with your sufferers?
Nashat: Yeah, nice query. So sadly, we stay 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 whole lot 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 stay in a bubble. I undoubtedly, I don’t suppose that’s sensible. I don’t suppose it’s sustainable. I don’t stay in a bubble, however I do adhere to the worth of doing, as an illustration, a quarterly detox.
And so I really created my first detox program again in 2020 through the pandemic. I discovered that folks have been below an incredible quantity of stress and so they have 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 individuals via. And throughout the first 12 months of getting my program, I put over 500 individuals 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 in a position to flush out toxins, one, there’s a whole lot of issues that change. Our energies shift. I had one girl inform me her eyesight received higher. I had some girls who have been going via menopause and hormonal modifications that mentioned that that received considerably higher as a result of they have been really in a position to detoxify estrogen.
So detox is admittedly essential in terms of normal well being. And in terms of fertility, there are a whole lot of toxins that we’re uncovered to which might be really xenoestrogens. And in order that they mimic hormones and form of wreak havoc within the physique. So detoxifying your estrogen appropriately is such a vital a part of a fertility and total well being journey, particularly in my girls 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 vital.
I do suppose it’s actually essential to speak about the truth that detox is form of a little bit little bit of a controversial time period on the market. And I believe after I discuss detox, I’m speaking about a complete meals detox. I’m not speaking about juice cleanses. I’m not speaking about simply dietary supplements and consuming 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 cleansing programs naturally.
So as an illustration, our liver has two phases of cleansing. And so to help Phase 1 of our liver detox, we wish to nourish the physique with a number of nutritional vitamins, minerals and vitamins. For Phase 2, we want a distribution of amino acids to help that. And primarily what we’re doing once we’re form 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 form of cleaning the physique of disruptors that could be wreaking havoc and negatively impacting our fertility. And we do it in a really light approach. That’s one other factor persons are at all times questioning am I going to be within the toilet all day? I’m like, no, completely not. You should not. It’s very, very light. In truth, most of my {couples} and purchasers don’t even know that they’re doing it.
Katie: That’s such an essential distinction. I at all times attempt to keep in mind like detox just isn’t a factor to your, you do to your physique. Detox is a factor that your physique does naturally which you could help 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 simply made that distinction and that if this isn’t like actually harsh cleanses or taking… Know, issues which might be going to flush your physique and deplete you of issues. This is definitely simply supporting what the physique already is aware of easy methods to do in its knowledge and assist it to do it extra effectively or assist to form 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 have been two classes I used to be going to ask particularly about as a result of it looks as if girls in these classes are sometimes given form of grim information associated to their fertility or that there can a minimum of be fertility issues that come together with the analysis in both these circumstances. But I’m guessing from what you mentioned that these are literally usually resolvable as properly and infrequently with out excessive measures. But is there a distinction in how you’re employed with girls who’ve PCOS or endometriosis or totally different concerns to concentrate on for girls who do have these?
Nashat: So sure and no. No in a way that each one who comes into my world is handled as a novel particular person. So PCOS, endometriosis, you realize, regardless of the circumstance is, you realize, I see each single one who comes into my world is exclusive as a result of I kind of consider all of the physique programs that we’re tackling for fertility as a cobweb. And so if we pull on one factor, every thing else goes to shift. The excellent news for girls with PCOS, which is form of attention-grabbing, I really had a dialogue with any individual the opposite day about this, is that a whole lot of instances with PCOS, girls should not ovulating each single month. And so one of many kind of unknown advantages or typically perks is that as a result of they’re not ovulating, a lot all through their life. They could be older in age and nonetheless ovulate and conceive naturally, as a result of their AMH is usually a little bit bit increased. In truth, I’ve a lady who I simply spoke with final week who’s 44 and has an AMH of two.4. Now, clearly AMH will also be typically falsely elevated, however nonetheless for essentially the most half, since you’re not ovulating as a lot. You know, and never, and possibly not each cycle, you will have a bigger egg reserve than you even notice that you’ve got. So I really feel like that offers a whole lot of girls hope with PCOS.
And there’s a whole lot of issues, like I mentioned, 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 the opposite 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 lady’s cycle provides us a whole lot of perception.
And I at all times, I’m an ER physician, proper? So I’ve spent my profession studying a whole lot of EKGs’ and I form of say that the BBT chart is form 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 can see thyroid points manifest and on and on. When {couples} come to me, they’re like, properly, 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. But so far as what I’m doing on a weekly foundation to maintain observe, to verify we’re going the fitting approach is I’m monitoring your signs and I’m monitoring your temperatures. And that offers us a wealth of data.
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 whole lot of years. And I’ve undoubtedly seen after I was within the thyroid points section, I had a a lot decrease basal physique temperature and now it stays a lot increased, which I view as a great signal as a result of it means hopefully my metabolism is working significantly better. My sleep is actually improved.
Is it very particular particular person by particular person? I do know that I see, as an illustration, decrease temperatures after which temperature rise within the second half of my cycle very reliably. But inside that sample, are there supreme ranges of temperature or does that modify by individual to individual? So as an illustration, 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 have got your LH surge in the course of your cycle. And then progesterone is a really warming hormone.
So we’re in search of a phenomenal heat curve in the direction of the latter half of the cycle. I do discover that you will have actually rock and roll in cycles in the event you do have intestine well being points, in the event you’re below a whole lot of stress. I’ve seen some fairly large alterations when it comes to if any individual is touring and possibly going between time zones. And right here’s the humorous factor, I also can inform when any individual is dishonest on their weight loss plan as a result of their BBT charts held me. So I can inform immediately in the event that they’ve been actually good and possibly they’ve a cheat week and consuming a whole lot of inflammatory meals as a result of your physique reacts to every thing that you simply do. You form of can’t cover from it.
Katie: That’s so fascinating. And I’ve been excited to see extra instruments out there 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 achieve this a lot of this for us. And if I make it simpler in your facet as properly, as a result of you’ll be able to entry that information in actual time along with your sufferers. But undoubtedly on a private degree, I might encourage girls 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 possibly have been advised that they’ve already been via IVF or IUI and kind 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: Great query and completely. I don’t care if anybody’s… IUI or IVF as a result of we haven’t actually uncovered the foundation reason behind why it hasn’t labored. And really, I’ll let you know a humorous, an important story. And that may be a couple that got here into my world. And she, we really assist a whole lot of healthcare suppliers as a result of, you realize, they discover me relatable as a result of I’m a historically skilled board licensed doctor. And so I’ve a whole lot of physicians that we really help scuffling with infertility.
And so this doctor occurs to be an endocrinologist, the irony of it, proper? But she grasp’s hormones, like that’s what she does for a dwelling. 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. And then 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 particular person and sadly ended up getting overstimulated and received actually, actually sick from all the hormones. So that they had been attempting for years, failed all of these rounds, had clearly spent an exorbitant amount of cash after which they discovered me and so they mentioned, properly, what are you able to do for us as a result of we’re undoubtedly not going again to IUI or IVF. We need is to develop a household. And I used to be like, properly, let’s see what we are able to do.
And after I work with {couples}, one of many first issues I requested them to do is within the pre-conception interval, we’ve already, you realize, outlined as 90 to 120 days. And I believe 12 weeks, it’s form of like that blissful place. So I at all times say for the 12 weeks that we’re working collectively, I need us to simply take away, you realize, actively attempting 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 realize, give attention to into me, intimacy, since you wish to be intimate and never since you’re attempting to create a child and create a life.
And so I had advised this you realize what, I want you to take a break for 12 weeks. So you open to that. They mentioned, completely. They got here and so they labored with us. And we received an electronic mail eight weeks into them working with us, apologizing as a result of they have been pregnant. And it was essentially the most heartwarming factor as a result of they have been like, we promised we weren’t attempting. But the underside 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 attempting to say.
It’s as a result of we have been really in a position to dial again. You know, take a step again, take a chicken’s eye view of all the physique, not simply our hormones and our fertility organs, determine the foundation trigger after which heal the foundation 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 every thing else has failed, there really continues to be an opportunity of pure fertility. We simply must do the fitting issues in the fitting order based mostly on what their physique and biochemistry wants.
Katie: And that’s wonderful how shortly too, that actually speaks to simply 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 large for them.
And you touched on one thing else that I used to be going to ask, which is… That she form of reached a fatigue level with the hormones and every thing required for all of these cycles. And I ponder, is there a threat to these kind of synthetic hormones being utilized in large doses throughout all these rounds of IUI or IVF?
Nashat: Yeah, sadly, sure, I might say that, you realize, they are often linked to a number of power well being circumstances. You know, there are many hormone imbalances that may ensue afterwards. I can’t let you know what number of girls have come to me after having gone via all these hormones and saying, you realize, my physique is destroyed. Now I’ve horrible sleep. I’ve gained, you realize, 30 kilos. I’ve a whole lot of mind fog. You know, 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 realize, the standard strategy is mainly forcing being pregnant on a physique that’s. Screaming I’m prepared.
And, you realize, and so it’s simply, it’s unhappy as a result of it clearly does have a whole lot of unwanted effects. And in fact, you realize, there’s, you realize, there are, there’s some information on the market to point that it might probably enhance threat of sure kinds of most cancers. It clearly actually is dependent upon what the person routine is, you realize, within the conventional strategy, there are such a lot of totally different regimens that may be given to a lady in several levels of stimulation. So I wouldn’t really feel comfy 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. But I nonetheless felt horrible within the course of.
And, you realize, 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. And then they arrive to me after which after the actual fact, they are saying, why didn’t we discover you sooner? You know, I want we had executed this primary. Now, I do wish 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 consider in uncovering the foundation 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 increased success charges of the process themselves.
You know, 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 learn about you, however I don’t know any girl who desires to undergo six rounds of IVF. I don’t know anybody, any girl who’s been in a position to maintain that. I form of see individuals tapping out. I believe essentially the most I’ve had is possibly 4 or 5, however no one desires to undergo six cycles. It’s not sustainable.
Katie: Yeah. Well, 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 probability of a optimistic consequence there as properly. It’s like I usually discuss in different areas of normal wellness, it’s like in the event you dial within the foundational issues, the sleep, the morning daylight, the hydration and weight loss plan, simply light motion, all these issues, anything you try this is likely to be extra biohacking or extra sophisticated or dietary supplements that price cash, these are all going to be simpler in the event you get these foundational items in line first. And it makes complete sense to me that that will even be the case within the fertility area as properly.
And I might guess for lots of people listening, possibly they’re someplace on the spectrum of this or should not even attempting to get pregnant proper now, but it surely is likely to be a consideration for the long run. Are there any kind of good normal ideas at both totally different ages or simply generally good ideas to keep up our fertility so long as potential? And then 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 normal pointers for all of us to remember?
Nashat: Yeah, completely. So I’ve a free obtain, which is the ten steps to optimum well being, which I actually suppose is form of a baseline basis for anyone attempting to optimize their well being, actually at any age, and actually making ready for preconception. And a few of these ideas are issues that you simply’ve already touched on.
Sleep might be one of the underrated well being advocacy actions that anyone might take. And so I’m a agency believer in eight to 9 hours. And the factor is, we don’t simply need amount. We need high quality of sleep. So I put on this little factor, an Oura ring, as a result of it helps me observe. You received one, too. It helps me observe my sleep phases. And I do know actually in actual time whether or not I’m getting top quality sleep or not. And typically it tells me after I’ve woken up in the course of the evening, and I don’t even keep in mind that I’ve woken up and had damaged sleep. So sleep is admittedly essential.
Hydration is one thing else that’s actually underrated. I at all times say you actually wish to take half your physique weight in kilos, and that’s what number of ounces that you need to drink over the course of the day. And in case you are consuming caffeine or exercising, then you definately undoubtedly wish to discuss a little bit bit extra onto that. I personally drink about three liters a day to remain hydrated.
Sunlight is one thing you talked about that’s large. Getting simply good previous daylight and having your toes on the bottom, grounding is admittedly essential. Sunlight, normally simply quarter-hour a day, particularly within the morning if you are able to do it. It actually does assist set the stage in your circadian rhythm and in addition enhance the standard of your sleep. What else?
Food is admittedly, actually essential. Unfortunately, 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 the event 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 strategy to eat seasonally is as a result of in the event 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 whenever you’re purchasing, stick 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 additionally, supply your protein thoughtfully. So issues like you realize, grass fed beef, you realize, hormone free and antibiotic free natural hen ideally free vary, you realize, all these kinds of issues are going to contribute to you nourishing your physique with extra nutrient-dense meals. Because I’m additionally a agency believer, sure, we want dietary supplements. I do use dietary supplements routinely with my {couples} as a way to pace up the therapeutic course of. But it’s not for me, dietary supplements should not ceaselessly. You know, in a great world, we actually wish to use a meals first strategy. And I try this with a whole lot of my {couples}. So girls who, as an illustration, have low progesterone and rather a lot or half of a cycle, are actually going to attempt to help them with progesterone-forming meals and so forth. Rather than, you realize, turning to, as an illustration, a prescription or including one other complement. I imply, if we now have to do it, we’ll, in fact, as a result of we wish to get them, most {couples} who come to me are very anxious to begin, you realize, attempting to get pregnant. So we wish to make the therapeutic course of as fast as potential.
But I believe in anyone who’s not actively in that section, and, you realize, you actually wish to set your self up for optimum well being, i feel simply doing a number of the tenets motion is clearly a extremely essential one too. Making positive you’re getting your steps in on daily basis and ensuring you’re getting a mixture of energy coaching and, you realize, cardio train. I believe muscle energy might be one of the underrated issues too, as we grow old. The quantity of muscle mass that you’ve got actually units the stage in your metabolism and vibrancy and longevity. So I believe muscle density and muscle energy is admittedly essential too. So these are just some. I believe I’ve extra on my free obtain that our listeners can undoubtedly entry.
Katie: I’ll ensure that these hyperlinks are included within the present notes and undoubtedly echo what you say, particularly about muscle and that the information on that’s actually compelling and we all know that that improves a whole lot of outcomes as we grow old, not simply fertility, however even our threat of all-cause mortality and threat of harm, 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 important factor to give attention to.
And I might love to simply dispel a little bit extra of the parable as properly as a result of i do know after I was having infants, I had all of mine by 29, however I keep in mind girls being there concurrently me and anyone over 35 was advised they have been superior to maternal age. And I do know girls are advised fertility declines and it’s very onerous to get pregnant after 35. I might love to listen to your expertise with that and in the event you’ve seen {couples} be capable to get pregnant naturally after age 35 and as much as what age is that probably potential?
Nashat: So I get that query rather a lot and I by no means wish to put an age on it as a result of it simply is dependent upon your biochemistry. I imply, I’ve a lady 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 any individual that I advised, you realize what, I can get you pregnant naturally. Absolutely.
So I had all my children after the age of 35. I went via unnecessarily, you realize, invasive therapies as a way to have my children as a result of I didn’t know then what I do know now. But 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 might be youthful, however for essentially the most half they… Over the age of 35 and I at all times inform them, you realize, age is only a quantity. You know, there’s a lot that we are able to do. You know, I’m very clear. I do consider in that too. So after I do my discovery calls with my {couples}, I’m at all times very upfront and I inform them, you realize, if I don’t suppose I may also help you, I’m going to be the primary to let you know what the possibilities are. And I’m going to provide you my, you realize, greatest skilled recommendation as to, you realize, essentially the most logical and greatest subsequent step.
But, you realize, I’ve additionally been very pleasantly stunned. There have been {couples} the place I believed, you realize, this may increasingly not work and so they’ve ended up getting pregnant naturally. So I form of say the sky’s the restrict. I imply, clearly if any individual is having irregular cycles and having menopausal signs, you realize, these are, that’s when for me, it’s extra the signs which might be going to drive that quantity slightly 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 suppose it’s simply age. I believe it’s multifactorial is the underside line.
Katie: That is smart. And I do know you have got so many extra assets out there in your web site and then you definately work immediately with {couples} as properly. I’ll ensure that all of these hyperlinks are within the present notes so individuals that may discover you and work with you immediately. But I really like that you simply’re spreading this message of the physique’s capacity to heal and transfer again to a state of fertility, even when individuals have been advised by conventional drugs that they aren’t going to have the ability to have a child. And I really like the work that you simply’re doing and the way purpose-driven it’s for you and the way your journey has been. So I’ll ensure that these hyperlinks are included within the present notes. And a few questions I like to ask on the finish of interviews. The first being if there’s a e-book or variety of books which have had a profound affect on you personally and in that case, what they’re and why.
Nashat: Gosh, I’ve so many to record, however I’m going to choose the latest one. And the latest one is a Joe Dispenza e-book, which is Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. What was actually fascinating about that e-book is that it actually impressed me to attend a deep self-development retreat again in March, which was all about actually figuring out conduct patterns in childhood and determining how they’re manifesting in my grownup life. And not simply understanding the conduct patterns, however really studying to rewire my mind into a brand new approach of being. And I really feel like that idea is so vital to every of our respective well being journeys, whether or not we’re attempting to get pregnant, whether or not we’re attempting to steadiness our hormones, whether or not we’re attempting to simply turn into the healthiest model of ourselves, no matter our private well being objectives is, as a result of new habits are actually, actually onerous to kind. And a whole lot 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 data to have the ability to rewire your mind and form of create a brand new model of your self has been actually, actually highly effective for me previously six months or so. And I’ve been in a position to actually apply that to the supply of my care to my {couples} and my sufferers, as a result of all of us, as a way to optimize well being, are going to be required to make a wide range of life-style modifications which may really feel like we’re going a little bit bit towards the grain. So that’s in all probability considered one of my favorites proper now.
Katie: I really like that. I’ll put that hyperlink within the present notes as properly. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners in the present day that might be associated to every thing we’ve talked about or solely unrelated recommendation that you simply discover useful.
Nashat: Yeah, I simply say don’t lose hope. And, you realize, I don’t subscribe to the idea that as we grow old, you realize, 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 mentioned earlier, Katie, I do consider 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 consider in band-aid approaches. I don’t consider simply in doing what your physician says. I consider in actually understanding why you’re doing what you’re doing with the intention to make an intentional knowledgeable selection with the intention to stay an extended, vibrant life. And all the {couples} on the market struggling to get pregnant, there’s hope. And simply because any individual has advised you which you could’t get pregnant or that you simply 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 instances 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 really like that. I believe that’s an ideal place to wrap up for in the present day. This has been such a enjoyable dialog. Like I mentioned, I really like the work you’re doing and I’m so glad we lastly received to talk. Thank you a lot in your time and for being right here.
Nashat: Thank you, 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 beneficial assets, your time, your vitality, and your consideration with us in the present day.
