Is 39 too old to have a baby? That’s the question so many women ask, and today, I’m diving deep into this topic. As I approach my 39th birthday, I’ve been reflecting on the fear and misinformation surrounding fertility after 35. In this episode, I’ll break down what really happens to our fertility in our late 30s, what we can control, and why mindset is one of the most powerful tools we have in this journey.

If you’re feeling anxious about your age and your ability to conceive, this episode will give you a fresh perspective—and some practical steps you can take right now to support your fertility.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1️⃣ The Truth About Fertility at 35+: There’s a huge misconception that fertility plummets at 35, but that’s simply not true. I talk about what actually happens to egg count, egg quality, and overall reproductive health in your late 30s—and why you have more time than you think.

2️⃣ Why Mindset Matters More Than You Think: What you believe about your fertility affects how you feel, the choices you make, and even your physical health. I share strategies for shifting out of fear and into confidence—because stress and anxiety don’t serve you in this process.

3️⃣ How to Make the Most of This Time: Instead of stressing about the clock, focus on what you can control. I talk about how optimizing your nutrition, sleep, stress, and environmental exposures can have a huge impact on egg health and overall fertility.

4️⃣ Getting a Head Start with a Proactive Fertility Workup: Too many women wait until they struggle to conceive before getting their fertility checked. I explain why getting a thorough workup before trying can save you time, money, and unnecessary frustration. I also share a free lab guide that outlines the tests I recommend to get a full picture of your reproductive health.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure of time, I want you to take a deep breath and know that you’re not alone. Age is just one factor in fertility, and there are so many things you can do to support your body and mind on this journey. Let’s shift the focus from fear to empowerment.
