Katie: Hi there 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 the right way to repair it. And I’m right here with Dr. Nashat Latib. I actually loved this dialog. She has over 20 years of medical expertise. She was a Board Licensed Emergency Doctor and now she’s one among just a few Useful Drugs Licensed Physicians on the planet, 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 practical drugs aspect of fertility, which I’ve not but touched on on this podcast. She talks about numerous the elements that go into fertility, why in lots of instances {couples} are in a position to get pregnant naturally, even when they’ve been instructed they will’t, or even when they’ve had IVF or IUI. And she or he takes a root trigger method that’s very individualized couple by couple, but in addition shares numerous the common issues which might be useful on this podcast. She’s a very enjoyable interview in particular person to speak to, and I believe that you’ll get pleasure from this dialog and be taught quite a bit. So let’s be 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 immediately and also you’re going to get to unfold numerous perception into some doubtlessly very complicated areas of drugs. And for background, earlier than we leap into these specifics, I might love so that you can give us somewhat 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 just do now. And I believe this story additionally includes the delivery of your three kids 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, tons and many years within the emergency room. And I spent a few years truly working in a stage one trauma heart 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 Metropolis for about 15 years earlier than I moved to Houston.
And what I noticed 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 and we’d deal with them. We’d put a band help on the issue. They might 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 fallacious with this conventional mannequin. And there’s in all probability some paradigm shifts which might be 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 principally 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 usually, she ate natural, you identify it, she did all of it. Actually complicated 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 finest pal. And so I actually used her as a supply of inspiration for every little thing I do immediately. And it was in that second that I noticed that the normal medical mannequin was not simply failing me and… My mother, one of many individuals I’ve liked essentially the most in my life, but in addition my sufferers.
And I began to look into different issues. Now, after all, 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. However I began to do some practical drugs coaching, and that’s once I realized, okay, that is actually the path that I must go. And, you understand, by that time, I had already had three youngsters. You understand, utilizing the normal fertility method. So clearly in medical college, you undergo years of coaching. I used to be somewhat 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 rapidly, right here I’m making an attempt month after month and unable to have these infants and develop the household of my goals.
So it was fascinating once I began to discover practical drugs and went again and checked out the entire ladders that I had carried out throughout my fertility journey. And I had carried out a number of rounds of IUI and IVF, spent properly over 100 thousand {dollars} on remedies to have my three kids. And whereas I’ve at all times, you understand, 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 protecting me from getting pregnant, and that in actuality, I didn’t want any of these fertility remedies within the first place. And that was a giant aha second for me once I realized one thing has received to offer and one thing has received to vary.
Katie: That is sensible. 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 sensible that… Not clearly having the medical background right here, nevertheless it is sensible that there could be root causes. As a result of 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 sources for issues like having the perfect pores and skin we may have or making a child if it doesn’t really feel prefer it’s protected to try 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 truly inflicting a everlasting infertility, however a brief 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 neglected root causes that the normal fertility paradigm merely doesn’t handle. So intestine well being, as an example, is a very massive one. Stress, you named it. I imply, the fact 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 beneath extreme quantities of stress.
And right here’s the loopy factor is that our cortisol ranges truly intervene with our intercourse hormone manufacturing. You understand, they intervene with our thyroid. They intervene with our sleep and our means to relaxation and restore at night time, which is such an essential a part of mobile restore. I imply, I may go on and on with regard to the foundation causes. There are multifold. And sadly, the normal method to fertility actually doesn’t have a look at them. There’s a lot of stones left unturned.
And I can’t inform you what number of {couples} have come to me and have been instructed, as an example, they want a donor egg or, you understand, IVF is the one choice. 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 truly form of a… A vignette or somewhat metaphor that I used to form of speak about fertility and all of the fertility elements. And, you understand, it’s actually female and male we’ve to contemplate. I additionally assume that’s one of many largest issues is in our conventional mannequin. Oftentimes we’re targeted on the lady. And we’ve to deal with either side of the equation. And so I form of, I don’t know in the event you ever performed with dominoes while you had been little and lined them up and also you push one down they usually all go down. I see in the event you line it, I consider the dominoes as principally female and male fertility elements all blended collectively. And they also’re all blended 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 they usually’re not all going to go down, which doesn’t imply you could’t get pregnant. It simply means we have to make some shifts, transfer just a few dominoes somewhat 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 numerous hope in {couples}. I’m positive that desirous to have a child and never having the ability to is a really deeply painful expertise. So in all probability that message brings numerous hope to {couples} who’re experiencing that. However it additionally looks like 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 mentioned, each time you’re having what you’ll 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 the right way 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 fantastically and likewise evokes hope that for lots of those {couples}, perhaps their infertility doesn’t want these extra intensive remedies. And I might guess by addressing that root trigger, they’re in all probability additionally rising their odds of a more healthy being pregnant and higher outcomes for the child as properly, as a result of they’re attending to the extra foundational issues. Is that your expertise as properly?
Nashat: Completely, completely, 100%. What we do within the 90 days pre-conception immediately 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 medical analysis and research have proven that by being proactive within the pre-conception interval, which is de facto 90 days previous to conception, 90 to 120 days, you’ll even have a toddler with fewer well being issues, not simply short-term, however truly power long-term issues too.
I’m unsure in the event you’re acquainted or our viewers is conversant in 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 complicated. So we’ve on and off switches for our DNA. And by making the suitable 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 truly 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 sensible. I’m curious if perhaps new knowledge 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 possibly can do to enhance it. Is that also the case or as we’ve realized extra, is that really 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 typically 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’ve gotten left. And actually what’s AMH? I actually assume it’s essential for girls to grasp that AMH is just 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 truly enhance AMH. AMH was as soon as considered a static quantity that doesn’t change. Nevertheless, we’ve confirmed time and time once more that that’s certainly false.
Actually, my protocol has as a lot as quadrupled AMH in girls. So historically, a girl with a low AMH might not be thought of, as an example, an IVF candidate. Particularly if they’ve an AMH as little as say 0.2. However 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 understand, 35 is just like the useless finish of the street, which is what we’ve been taught. What’s caught in medical college?
So, you understand, 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 change into the usual of care. And so numerous what we be taught in medical college is de facto antiquated and is predicated on research which might be utterly outdated versus I discover that in a root reason behind practical drugs method we’re truly 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 superb 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 eating regimen 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 assume the perfect outcomes occur when you’ve gotten suppliers such as you who’re deeply invested in studying the leading edge science, understanding the affected person, like asking the suitable questions and attending to first ideas of this. However I believe it’s additionally actually essential for individuals to be the drivers of their very own well being and understand how a lot energy we’ve truly to shift so lots 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 usually talked about, and I’ve seen numerous information headlines round is the decline in sperm rely and the beautiful drastic numbers from even two generations in the past to now. Are you seeing that in your apply as properly? And is that additionally reversible in particular person males?
Nashat: Completely. So truly, 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 understand, our youngsters and their kids 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 understand, it’s not utterly the person’s fault 50% of the time, however 50% of the time, there’s something contributing to the scenario.
I believe one of many issues is, as an example, numerous 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 understand, 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 understand, sperm high quality, if we do the work. However it’s actually about optimizing, you understand, the physique in a wholesome setting.
And that form of ties into what you had been speaking about earlier. And I at all times say the physique is sensible, proper? So the physique is aware of when it’s a protected 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’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 understand, to your purpose of rising your loved ones and pure conception.
Katie: I like that. And in addition to your level, I’ve seen this occur in different areas of drugs as properly. The way you talked about it could actually take a very long time for one thing to get from analysis into apply, which is sensible, 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 change into widespread apply. However I do assume it usually means there are gaps that individuals like practical drugs docs and even sufferers, I see numerous sufferers, I’ve seen it within the thyroid house are form of driving that change by requesting totally different lab checks or requesting totally different remedies. In order that’s again to that complete the perfect outcomes occur when you’ve gotten an invested affected person and an informed physician working collectively as companions. So I like that that’s the way you view it as properly.
And also you talked about your protocol that you’ve got. I’m curious, I do know there’s in all probability quite a bit that goes into this, however what are a few of the baseline issues that you just advocate to {couples} to start that technique of enhancing fertility?
Nashat: Yeah, properly, the very first thing is de facto getting an entire image of what’s occurring. And I truly did a reel about this in my Instagram speaking concerning the labs that you really want to get to work at fertility. You understand, I’m not a giant believer of needing loopy costly superior practical lab testing. Sure, there’s a time and a spot and I do use all of these checks 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 have a look at, as an example, are some markers for the intestine. We’re markers for irritation. We’re searching for the potential for any autoimmune illness, thyroid. In fact we’re trying on the hormones, however fertility isn’t just about hormones and reproductive organs, it’s about your entire physique. So I do care what your lipid ranges are. There are numerous issues that I care about as a way 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 by way of evaluation.
And I additionally have a look at signs as a result of typically, such as you mentioned, the symptom is, it provides us numerous perception. We in practical drugs have one thing known as a Medical Signs Questionnaire, which is a medical instrument that we use to trace progress and likewise get an concept of what could also be occurring beneath the hood that’s not exhibiting 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 shoppers are feeling. So if any individual involves me they usually’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 info for me that then I can glean from and take motion to create principally a personalised plan that’s customizable to their biochemistry and what their physique must change 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 instructed 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 youngsters can’t run in site visitors. I’m so drained. And they might inform me like, properly, that’s simply regular when you’ve gotten youngsters. And in hindsight, it was not regular, however I’m so excited to listen to that increasingly, particularly in practical drugs, which I believe is de facto 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 sensible that each of these could be precious 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 might be seemingly useful in enhancing fertility or dietary supplements or what are a few 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. So far as dietary tips, one of many first issues we wish to do is de facto remove 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, pay attention, this isn’t perpetually. That is for us to guage and form of lower irritation, lower stress on the physique. After which we are able to add them again in in a really personalized, sluggish, managed means to determine what’s been inflicting the issue.
I imply, there are such a lot of {couples} who come to me they usually don’t assume {that a} sure meals is a matter. And it’s not till we remove it after which attempt to add it again in, that we begin to actually perceive what’s taking place within the physique.
I’ll provide you with only a whole aspect instance, which is, you understand, pertains to my son. One in all my twins was, my different youngsters had been complaining that he was protecting them up as a result of he was loud night breathing a lot. And so, you understand, I didn’t actually assume an excessive amount of of it, however then, you understand, finally one among them took a video and confirmed it to me the subsequent morning and I used to be like, oh my gosh, yeah, he truly shouldn’t be actually respiration properly as a result of he’s loud night breathing so loudly. So he occurred to have a test up with a conventional pediatrician, which I like our pediatrician. And naturally she mentioned, properly, perhaps he’s received a tonsil and adenoid downside. I believe he actually must go see ENT as a result of that is harmful that he’s respiration like this.
So as a substitute of doing that, I made a decision to remove dairy. And inside two weeks the loud night breathing was gone. He not had, you understand, this runny nostril that had form of sneezing and allergy kind signs. And that’s simply an instance in a toddler and he’s solely 10 years outdated of how one thing could also be inflicting an underlying form of baseline stage of irritation. And we might not even comprehend it. I additionally discover that numerous us be taught 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, properly, 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 numerous inside 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 vitality 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 numerous 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 numerous 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, as an example, a quarterly detox.
And so I truly created my first detox program again in 2020 in the course of the pandemic. I discovered that individuals had been beneath an incredible quantity of stress they usually 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 individuals by means of. And inside the first 12 months of getting my program, I put over 500 individuals by means of 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 numerous issues that change. Our energies shift. I had one girl inform me her eyesight received higher. I had some girls who had been going by means of menopause and hormonal modifications that mentioned that that received considerably higher as a result of they had been truly in a position to detoxify estrogen.
So detox is de facto essential in relation to normal well being. And in relation to fertility, there are numerous toxins that we’re uncovered to which might be truly xenoestrogens. And they also mimic hormones and form of wreak havoc within the physique. So detoxifying your estrogen appropriately is such a crucial a part of a fertility and general well being journey, particularly in my girls who’re struggling with PCOS or endometriosis. They’re going to be in an estrogen dominant state they usually have to have the ability to steadiness out their hormones and having correctly working detox organs is de facto crucial.
I do assume it’s actually essential to speak about the truth that detox is form of somewhat 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 truly nourish the physique’s detoxing programs naturally.
So as an example, our liver has two phases of detoxing. And so to help Section 1 of our liver detox, we wish to nourish the physique with a lot of nutritional vitamins, minerals and vitamins. For Section 2, we’d like a distribution of amino acids to help that. And primarily what we’re doing after 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 by means of our breath, sweat, defecation and urination. And so by doing that, we’re form 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 individuals 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. Actually, most of my {couples} and shoppers 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 shouldn’t be a factor to your, you do to your physique. Detox is a factor that your physique does naturally you could help and make it extra environment friendly at, nevertheless it’s already is aware of how to try 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 might be going to flush your physique and deplete you of issues. That is truly simply supporting what the physique already is aware of the right way 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 had been two classes I used to be going to ask particularly about as a result of it looks like 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 prognosis in both these circumstances. However I’m guessing from what you mentioned that these are literally usually resolvable as properly and infrequently with out excessive measures. However is there a distinction in how you’re employed with girls 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 understand, regardless of the circumstance is, you understand, I see each single one that comes into my world is exclusive as a result of I form 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 little thing else goes to shift. The excellent news for girls with PCOS, which is form of fascinating, I truly had a dialogue with any individual the opposite day about this, is that numerous instances with PCOS, girls will not be ovulating each single month. And so one of many form of unknown advantages or typically 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 often somewhat bit greater. Actually, I’ve a girl 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 understand, and never, and possibly not each cycle, you might have a bigger egg reserve than you even understand that you’ve got. So I really feel like that provides numerous girls hope with PCOS.
And there’s numerous 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 suitable rhythm. One of many different instruments that I forgot to say that I might use fairly intimately in my therapy protocols is I have a look at temperature monitoring as a result of basal physique temperature monitoring over the course of a girl’s cycle provides us numerous perception.
And I at all times, I’m an ER physician, proper? So I’ve spent my profession studying numerous 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 quick, 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, properly, are we going to trace labs each single month? And I’m like, no, not essentially. We might must repeat labs in a sure time frame. However so far as what I’m doing on a weekly foundation to maintain monitor, to ensure we’re going the suitable 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 performing some type of pure household planning for nearly 20 years now. And so I’ve tracked my basal physique temperature over numerous years. And I’ve undoubtedly seen once I was within the thyroid points part, I had a a lot decrease basal physique temperature and now it stays a lot greater, which I view as a superb signal as a result of it means hopefully my metabolism is working a lot better. My sleep is definitely improved.
Is it very particular particular person by particular person? I do know that I see, as an example, decrease temperatures after which temperature rise within the second half of my cycle very reliably. However inside that sample, are there excellent ranges of temperature or does that fluctuate by individual to individual? So as an 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 numerous factors of the cycle or is it relative to the person?
Nashat: It’s relative to the person. I actually have a look at the sample. The sample is crucial factor. So estrogen tends to be a really cooling hormone. So we’re searching for low regular temperatures within the first half of the cycle. We’re searching for a spike after you’ve gotten your LH surge in the course of your cycle. After which progesterone is a really warming hormone.
So we’re searching for 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 the event you do have intestine well being points, in the event you’re beneath numerous stress. I’ve seen some fairly massive alterations by way of if any individual is touring and perhaps going between time zones. And right here’s the humorous factor, I may inform when any individual is dishonest on their eating regimen 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 numerous inflammatory meals as a result of your physique reacts to every little thing that you just do. You form of can’t cover from it.
Katie: That’s so fascinating. And I’ve been excited to see extra instruments obtainable lately that assist this knowledge be extra accessible to all of us.

And it’s such fascinating perception into your well being on a month-to-month foundation. So I’m very excited that that knowledge is now obtainable.

What about {couples} who perhaps have been instructed that they’ve already been by means of IVF or IUI and form of been instructed 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 foundation reason behind why it hasn’t labored. And really, I’ll inform you a humorous, a fantastic story. And that may be a couple that got here into my world. And she or he, we truly assist numerous healthcare suppliers as a result of, you understand, they discover me relatable as a result of I’m a historically skilled board licensed doctor. And so I’ve numerous physicians that we truly help 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 dwelling. And so she got here to me and her husband is a doctor too, he was an inner drugs physician they usually had failed seven rounds of IUI. After which they went on they usually did three rounds of IVF. And as an endocrinologist, she knew precisely what was taking place on clearly a way more intimate stage than the standard lay particular person and sadly ended up getting overstimulated and received 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 sum of money after which they discovered me they usually 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 would like is to develop a household. And I used to be like, properly, 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 understand, outlined as 90 to 120 days. And I believe 12 weeks, it’s form of like that completely satisfied place. So I at all times say for the 12 weeks that we’re working collectively, I need us to simply take away, you understand, actively making an attempt from the forefront of our minds and simply deal with our well being, deal with our relationship with our liked one, deal with bonding, you understand, deal with into me, intimacy, since you wish to be intimate and never since you’re making an attempt to create a child and create a life.
And so I had instructed this you understand what, I want you to take a break for 12 weeks. So that you open to that. They mentioned, completely. They got here they usually labored with us. And we received 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 truly in a position to dial again. You understand, take a step again, take a chicken’s eye view of your entire physique, not simply our hormones and our fertility organs, work out the foundation trigger after which heal the foundation trigger from the muse 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 little thing else has failed, there truly remains to be an opportunity of pure fertility. We simply must do the suitable issues in the suitable order primarily based on what their physique and biochemistry wants.
Katie: And that’s wonderful how rapidly 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 also 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 little thing required for all of these cycles. And I’m wondering, is there a threat to these form of synthetic hormones being utilized in massive doses throughout all these rounds of IUI or IVF?
Nashat: Yeah, sadly, sure, I might say that, you understand, they are often linked to a lot of power well being circumstances. You understand, there are many hormone imbalances that may ensue afterwards. I can’t inform you what number of girls have come to me after having gone by means of all these hormones and saying, you understand, my physique is destroyed. Now I’ve horrible sleep. I’ve gained, you understand, 30 kilos. I’ve numerous mind fog. You understand, 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 understand, the normal method is principally forcing being pregnant on a physique that’s. Screaming I’m prepared.
And, you understand, and so it’s simply, it’s unhappy as a result of it clearly does have numerous unwanted side effects. And naturally, you understand, there’s, you understand, there are, there’s some knowledge on the market to point that it may doubtlessly enhance threat of sure forms of most cancers. It clearly actually is determined by what the person routine is, you understand, within the conventional method, there are such a lot of totally different regimens that may be given to a girl in numerous levels of stimulation. So I wouldn’t really feel snug making a blanket assertion, however I can say universally that it’s not a nice expertise. I went by means of it myself and I used to be very conservative with my doses precisely for that purpose. However I nonetheless felt horrible within the course of.
And, you understand, and I actually… My coronary heart breaks when I’ve {couples} which have come to me in that state of exhaustion after having gone by means of 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? You understand, I want we had carried out 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 imagine 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 fact is that. If we put together the physique and lay the muse earlier than we do IUI and IVF, we’re truly going to have a lot greater success charges of the process themselves.
You understand, one of many issues additionally that I discover is somewhat bit deceptive is when a fertility clinic quotes a hit fee, it’s over six rounds of IVF, not one. I don’t find out 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 perhaps 4 or 5, however no person desires to undergo six cycles. It’s not sustainable.
Katie: Yeah. Effectively, 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 constructive consequence there as properly. It’s like I usually speak about 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 eating regimen, simply mild motion, all these issues, the rest you try this is perhaps extra biohacking or extra difficult 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 whole sense to me that that will even be the case within the fertility house as properly.
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, nevertheless it is perhaps a consideration for the longer term. Are there any form of good normal ideas at both totally different ages or simply basically good ideas to keep up our fertility so long as potential? 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 normal tips 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 form 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 one of the 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 would like high quality of sleep. So I put on this little factor, an Oura ring, as a result of it helps me monitor. You bought one, too. It helps me monitor 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 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 de facto 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 it’s best to drink over the course of the day. And if you’re consuming caffeine or exercising, then you definately undoubtedly wish to discuss somewhat bit extra onto that. I personally drink about three liters a day to remain hydrated.
Daylight is one thing you talked about that’s enormous. Getting simply good outdated daylight and having your ft on the bottom, grounding is de facto essential. 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 to your circadian rhythm and likewise enhance the standard of your sleep. What else?
Meals is de facto, actually essential. 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 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 best approach 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 while you’re procuring, follow the perimeter of the grocery retailer. That’s the place you’re going to search out all of your perishables and your lean proteins.
And in addition, supply your protein thoughtfully. So issues like you understand, grass fed beef, you understand, hormone free and antibiotic free natural rooster ideally free vary, you understand, all these forms 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’d like dietary supplements. I do use dietary supplements routinely with my {couples} as a way to velocity up the therapeutic course of. However it’s not for me, dietary supplements will not be perpetually. You understand, in a great world, we actually wish to use a meals first method. And I try this with numerous my {couples}. So girls who, as an example, have low progesterone and quite a bit or half of a cycle, are actually going to attempt to help them with progesterone-forming meals and so forth. Moderately than, you understand, turning to, as an example, a prescription or including one other complement. I imply, if we’ve to do it, we are going to, after all, as a result of we wish to get them, most {couples} who come to me are very anxious to begin, you understand, making an attempt to get pregnant. So we wish to make the therapeutic course of as fast as potential.
However I believe in anyone who’s not actively in that part, and, you understand, you actually wish to set your self up for optimum well being, i believe simply doing a few of the tenets motion is clearly a very essential one too. Ensuring you’re getting your steps in day by day and ensuring you’re getting a mixture of energy coaching and, you understand, 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 to your metabolism and vibrancy and longevity. So I believe muscle density and muscle energy is de facto essential too. So these are only a few. I believe I’ve extra on my free obtain that our listeners can undoubtedly entry.
Katie: I’ll ensure 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 numerous 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 a fantastic factor to deal with.
And I might love to simply dispel somewhat extra of the parable as properly as a result of i do know once 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 instructed they had been superior to maternal age. And I do know girls are instructed fertility declines and it’s very laborious 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 of get pregnant naturally after age 35 and as much as what age is that doubtlessly potential?
Nashat: So I get that query quite a bit and I by no means wish to put an age on it as a result of it simply is determined by 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 any individual that I instructed, you understand what, I can get you pregnant naturally. Completely.
So I had all my youngsters after the age of 35. I went by means of unnecessarily, you understand, invasive remedies as a way to have my youngsters 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 might be youthful, however for essentially the most half they… Over the age of 35 and I at all times inform them, you understand, age is only a quantity. You understand, there’s a lot that we are able to do. You understand, 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 understand, if I don’t assume I will help you, I’m going to be the primary to inform you what the probabilities are. And I’m going to offer you my, you understand, finest skilled recommendation as to, you understand, essentially the most logical and finest subsequent step.
However, you understand, I’ve additionally been very pleasantly shocked. There have been {couples} the place I believed, you understand, this will likely not work they usually’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 understand, these are, that’s when for me, it’s extra the signs which might be going to drive that quantity moderately 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 sensible. And I do know you’ve gotten so many extra sources obtainable in your web site and then you definately work immediately with {couples} as properly. I’ll ensure all of these hyperlinks are within the present notes so individuals that may discover you and work with you immediately. However I like that you just’re spreading this message of the physique’s means to heal and transfer again to a state of fertility, even when individuals have been instructed 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 ensure 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 impression on you personally and if that’s the 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 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 truly studying to rewire my mind into a brand new means of being. And I really feel like that idea is so crucial 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 simply change into the healthiest model of ourselves, no matter our private well being objectives is, as a result of new habits are actually, actually laborious to kind. And numerous 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 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 quite a lot of life-style modifications which may really feel like we’re going somewhat bit towards the grain. In order that’s in all probability one among my favorites proper now.
Katie: I like that. I’ll put that hyperlink within the present notes as properly. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners immediately that may very well be associated to every little thing we’ve talked about or totally unrelated recommendation that you just discover useful.
Nashat: Yeah, I simply say don’t lose hope. And, you understand, I don’t subscribe to the idea that as we grow old, you understand, 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 imagine that you’re the CEO of your personal well being.
And I do really feel like it’s important that every one among 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 with the intention to make an intentional knowledgeable alternative with the intention to dwell an extended, vibrant life. And the entire {couples} on the market struggling to get pregnant, there’s hope. And simply because any individual has instructed you you could’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’re feeling like in your intestine you may get pregnant naturally? And 9 instances out of 10 of individuals speaking to me say sure, however I’ve been instructed 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 immediately. This has been such a enjoyable dialog. Like I mentioned, I like the work you’re doing and I’m so glad we lastly received to speak. Thanks a lot to your time and for being right here.
Nashat: Thanks, Katie, it’s been a pleasure. Honored to be right here, thanks.
