Katie: Hiya and welcome to The Wellness Mama Podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com. And this episode is all in regards to the root causes of infertility, why we’re seeing declining sperm depend and the best 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 in every of just a few Useful Medication Licensed Physicians on the planet, specializing in regenerative drugs and particularly fertility.
And he or 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 components that go into fertility, why in lots of circumstances {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 he or she takes a root trigger strategy that’s very individualized couple by couple, but in addition 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 get pleasure from this dialog and be taught so much. 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 essential subjects at present and also you’re going to get to unfold a whole lot of perception into some doubtlessly very complicated areas of medication. And for background, earlier than we soar into these specifics, I might love so that you can give us somewhat bit of truly your personal story as a result of I do know you began off as an ER physician after which transitioned into the work that you simply do now. And I believe this story additionally entails the beginning of your three youngsters in a manner. So I might love to listen to your background and your story and the way it led to what’s now your life’s work.
Nashat: Yeah, nice query. That’s a really concerned story. However yeah, heaps and many years within the emergency room. And I spent a few years 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 have been utilizing an acute care mannequin to deal with persistent 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 support on the issue. They’d 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 unsuitable with this conventional mannequin. And there’s most likely 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 faculty and I used to be mainly simply working towards 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 most likely the healthiest particular person I knew. She labored out often, she ate natural, you identify it, she did all of it. Actually complicated carbohydrates, she sort of did all of the issues. And sadly begin developed a really quickly progressive neurodegenerative illness. And right here I used to be as an ER physician, saved lives for a residing, but I couldn’t save my mother.
And so she went from properly and spinning with me a number of occasions every week to gone over a course of seven months. So it was very, very tragic. She was my finest buddy. And so I actually used her as a supply of inspiration for every thing I do at present. 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 probably the most in my life, but in addition my sufferers.
And I began to look into different issues. Now, after all, I sort of began this journey most likely a number of, many, a few years earlier than that, as a result of I’ve all the time been very dedicated to well being and being proactive about it. However I began to do some purposeful drugs coaching, and that’s once I realized, okay, that is actually the route that I must go. And, , by that time, I had already had three youngsters. You recognize, utilizing the normal fertility strategy. So clearly in medical faculty, 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 have been regular. I used to be used to having common cycles. After which unexpectedly, right here I’m attempting month after month and unable to have these infants and develop the household of my desires.
So it was fascinating once I began to discover purposeful drugs and went again and checked out all the ladders that I had achieved throughout my fertility journey. And I had achieved a number of rounds of IUI and IVF, spent properly over 100 thousand {dollars} on therapies to have my three youngsters. And whereas I’ve all the time, , and nonetheless proceed to really feel extraordinarily blessed, there was one thing very damaged once I regarded again into my information and realized that there have been clear root causes that have been protecting me from getting pregnant, and that in actuality, I didn’t want any of these fertility therapies within the first place. And that was a giant aha second for me once I realized one thing has obtained to present and one thing has obtained to alter.
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, however it is sensible that there can 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 necessary. So if one thing else is occurring within the physique that appears extra acute, the physique’s going to prioritize and it’d even be, to my understanding, one thing so simple as like elevated stress ranges. Or if the physique thinks it’s in peril, it could not need to prioritize the assets for issues like having the most effective pores and skin we might have or making a child if it doesn’t really feel prefer it’s secure to do this.
However I do know there’s most likely much more that goes into it past that. However is that what you imply by root causes? That there might 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 ignored root causes that the normal fertility paradigm merely doesn’t handle. So intestine well being, as an illustration, is a extremely huge 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 below extreme quantities of stress.
And right here’s the loopy factor is that our cortisol ranges truly intrude with our intercourse hormone manufacturing. You recognize, they intrude with our thyroid. They intrude with our sleep and our potential to relaxation and restore at night time, which is such an necessary a part of mobile restore. I imply, I might go on and on with regard to the foundation causes. There are multifold. And sadly, the normal strategy to fertility actually doesn’t have 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 instructed, as an illustration, they want a donor egg or, , 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 truly sort of a… A vignette or somewhat metaphor that I used to sort of speak about fertility and all of the fertility components. And, , it’s actually female and male we’ve to contemplate. I additionally suppose 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 sort of, I don’t know for those who ever performed with dominoes whenever you have been little and lined them up and also you push one down they usually all go down. I see for those who line it, I consider the dominoes as mainly female and male fertility components all combined collectively. And they also’re all combined collectively, we’re lining them up. But when a number of 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 which you can’t get pregnant. It simply means we have to make some shifts, transfer a number of 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 conjures up a whole lot of hope in {couples}. I’m certain that desirous to have a child and never with the ability to is a really deeply painful expertise. So most likely that message brings a whole lot of hope to {couples} who’re experiencing that. But it surely additionally looks as if that is going to be, it’s going to have optimistic ripples in so many areas as a result of I had one other visitor that defined it so superbly. She stated, 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 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 best way to assist 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 likewise conjures up hope that for lots of those {couples}, perhaps their infertility doesn’t want these extra in depth therapies. And I might guess by addressing that root trigger, they’re most likely additionally rising their odds of a more healthy being pregnant and higher outcomes for the infant 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 straight influences egg and sperm well being, and likewise clearly influences one, the possibilities of conception and the possibilities of having a wholesome child. And truly the medical 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 truly persistent long-term issues too.
I’m unsure for those who’re acquainted or our viewers is conversant in the idea of Epigenetics, however Epigenetics is sort of all the craze proper now as a result of we even have the ability, although 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 best selections and making ready our our bodies, optimizing our well being through the 90 to 120 day preconception interval, we are able to truly activate the nice 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 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 may 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 ladies 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’ve gotten left. And actually what’s AMH? I actually suppose it’s necessary for ladies to grasp that AMH is solely a hormone that’s produced by the outer layer of the egg that’s sort of in hibernation within the ovary. And the cool factor is that by influencing egg well being, we are able to truly improve AMH. AMH was as soon as considered a static quantity that doesn’t change. Nonetheless, we’ve confirmed time and time once more that that’s certainly false.
In reality, my protocol has as a lot as quadrupled AMH in ladies. So historically, a girl with a low AMH will not be thought-about, as an illustration, 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, , 35 is just like the useless finish of the street, which is what we’ve been taught. What’s caught in medical faculty?
So, , sadly, I believe a part of the issue is also that. It takes about 50 to 100 years for scientific research and analysis to sort of turn into the usual of care. And so a whole lot of what we be taught in medical faculty is admittedly antiquated and is predicated on research which might be fully outdated versus I discover that in a root explanation for purposeful drugs strategy 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 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 way of life and food regimen components that may make such an enormous distinction. And we’re the one ones who’ve the accountability for our personal well being. And I do suppose the most effective outcomes occur when you’ve gotten suppliers such as you who’re deeply invested in studying the leading edge science, understanding the affected person, taking a look at like asking the best questions and attending to first rules of this. However I believe it’s additionally actually necessary for individuals to be the drivers of their very own well being and notice 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 a whole lot of information headlines round is the decline in sperm depend and the gorgeous 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, , our youngsters and their youngsters sooner or later. However sure, completely. That is likely one of 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, , it’s not fully 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 illustration, a whole lot of motility and morphology are at a decrease than they’ve actually ever been earlier than. And people numbers are persevering with to say no. So that’s one thing that we’re very proactively engaged on. And sure, it’s completely reversible. Once more, it takes, , 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, , sperm high quality, if we do the work. But it surely’s actually about optimizing, , the physique in a wholesome atmosphere.
And that sort of ties into what you have been speaking about earlier. And I all the time say the physique is sensible, proper? So the physique is aware of when it’s a secure place to create a child, and when it ought to perhaps not. So I all the time 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 assist that it wants, in order that we are able to get you simply, , to your objective of rising your loved ones and pure conception.
Katie: I really like that. And likewise to your level, I’ve seen this occur in different areas of medication as properly. The way you talked about it could possibly take a very long time for one thing to get from analysis into apply, which is sensible, understanding how busy medical doctors are and all the method that has to occur from one thing to be validated after which taught after which now turn into frequent apply. However I do suppose it usually means there are gaps that individuals like purposeful drugs medical doctors and even sufferers, I see a whole lot of sufferers, I’ve seen it within the thyroid house are sort of driving that change by requesting totally different lab exams or requesting totally different therapies. In order that’s again to that entire the most effective outcomes occur when you’ve gotten 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 also you talked about your protocol that you’ve got. I’m curious, I do know there’s most likely so much that goes into this, however what are a number of the baseline issues that you simply advocate to {couples} to start that means of bettering fertility?
Nashat: Yeah, properly, the very first thing is admittedly getting an entire image of what’s happening. And I truly did a reel about this in my Instagram speaking in regards to the labs that you actually need to get to work at fertility. You recognize, I’m not a giant believer of needing loopy costly superior purposeful lab testing. Sure, there’s a time and a spot and I do use all of these exams in my apply, however we are able to get actually, we are able to get began in a quite simple manner by simply doing common serum labs. So issues that I have a look at, as an illustration, are some markers for the intestine. We’re taking a look at markers for irritation. We’re on the lookout for the potential for any autoimmune illness, thyroid. In fact we’re trying on the hormones, however fertility is not only 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 to be able to put together for conception that aren’t essentially prioritized in your regular fertility journey. In order that’s positively 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 stated, the symptom is, it offers us a whole lot of perception. We in purposeful drugs have one thing known as a Medical Signs Questionnaire, which is a medical device that we use to trace progress and likewise get an thought of what could also be happening below the hood that isn’t exhibiting up within the labs. As a result of it’s not, sure, we’re taking a look at 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 although I sleep for eight hours, I really feel like I’ve been hit by a truck within the morning. I’ll not essentially see that on a daily 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 probably 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 have been regular and telling a number of medical doctors, 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 visitors. I’m so drained. And they’d 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 an increasing number of, particularly in purposeful drugs, which I believe is admittedly main this cost, we’re considering the precise expertise of the affected person together with the information that we now have a lot extra entry to. It is sensible that each of these can be helpful 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 bettering fertility or dietary supplements or what are a number of the sort of core locations you begin with that?
Nashat: Yeah, completely. I imply, I actually begin with fundamentals, proper? So I all the time 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 need 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 sort of proper off the bat, we need to actually do away with. And I all the time inform my {couples} like, pay attention, this isn’t endlessly. That is for us to guage and sort of lower irritation, lower stress on the physique. After which we are able to add them again in in a really personalized, sluggish, managed manner 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 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 provide you with only a complete facet instance, which is, , pertains to my son. One in every of my twins was, my different youngsters have been complaining that he was protecting them up as a result of he was loud night breathing a lot. And so, , I didn’t actually suppose an excessive amount of of it, however then, , finally one in every of them took a video and confirmed it to me the following morning and I used to be like, oh my gosh, yeah, he truly just isn’t actually respiration properly as a result of he’s loud night breathing so loudly. So he occurred to have a verify up with a standard pediatrician, which I really like our pediatrician. And naturally she stated, properly, perhaps he’s obtained a tonsil and adenoid downside. I believe he actually must go see ENT as a result of that is harmful that he’s respiration 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 not had, , this runny nostril that had sort of sneezing and allergy sort 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 sort of baseline stage of irritation. And we could not even comprehend it. I additionally discover that a whole lot of us be taught to reside with signs that we predict are regular and we don’t actually notice how good we are able to really feel till they’re gone. After which we have been like, oh, okay, properly, that is fairly superior. So I’m certain you skilled that with the, within the thyroid house.
Katie: Completely. Each 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 bear 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 medical doctors are addressing this and I really like that you simply do. Are you able to clarify the cleansing reference to fertility and the way you do this together with your sufferers?
Nashat: Yeah, nice query. So sadly, we reside 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 houses to make them much less poisonous, however the actuality is that we are able to’t additionally reside in a bubble. I positively, I don’t suppose that’s sensible. I don’t suppose it’s sustainable. I don’t reside in a bubble, however I do adhere to the worth of doing, as an illustration, a quarterly detox.
And so I truly created my first detox program again in 2020 through the pandemic. I discovered that individuals have been below an amazing quantity of stress they usually have been actually seeking to optimize their well being and caught in their very own houses. And so I created a four-week detox program that I took individuals by way of. And throughout the first yr of getting my program, I put over 500 individuals by way 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 a whole lot of issues that change. Our energies shift. I had one girl inform me her eyesight obtained higher. I had some ladies who have been going by way of menopause and hormonal adjustments that stated that that obtained considerably higher as a result of they have been truly in a position to detoxify estrogen.
So detox is admittedly necessary relating to common well being. And relating to fertility, there are a whole lot of toxins that we’re uncovered to which might be truly xenoestrogens. And they also mimic hormones and sort 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 ladies 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 stability out their hormones and having correctly working detox organs is admittedly crucial.
I do suppose it’s actually necessary to speak about the truth that detox is sort 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 few detox the place we truly nourish the physique’s cleansing techniques naturally.
So as an illustration, our liver has two phases of cleansing. And so to assist Section 1 of our liver detox, we need to nourish the physique with a number of nutritional vitamins, minerals and vitamins. For Section 2, we want a distribution of amino acids to assist that. And basically what we’re doing after we’re sort of revving up the liver, I all the time 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 do away with them by way of our breath, sweat, defecation and urination. And so by doing that, we’re sort of cleaning the physique of disruptors that could be wreaking havoc and negatively impacting our fertility. And we do it in a really light manner. That’s one other factor individuals are all the time questioning am I going to be within the toilet all day? I’m like, no, completely not. You aren’t. It’s very, very light. In reality, most of my {couples} and shoppers don’t even know that they’re doing it.
Katie: That’s such an necessary distinction. I all the time attempt to bear 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 can assist and make it extra environment friendly at, however it’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. That is truly simply supporting what the physique already is aware of the best way to do in its knowledge and assist it to do it extra effectively or assist to sort 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 ladies in these classes are sometimes given sort of grim information associated to their fertility or that there can no less than be fertility considerations that come together with the prognosis in both these circumstances. However I’m guessing from what you stated that these are literally usually resolvable as properly and sometimes with out excessive measures. However is there a distinction in how you’re employed with ladies who’ve PCOS or endometriosis or totally different issues to pay attention to for ladies 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 novel particular person. So PCOS, endometriosis, , regardless of the circumstance is, , I see each single one that comes into my world is exclusive as a result of I kind of consider all of the physique techniques 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 ladies with PCOS, which is sort of fascinating, I truly had a dialogue with any individual the opposite day about this, is that a whole lot of occasions with PCOS, ladies are usually 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 are often older in age and nonetheless ovulate and conceive naturally, as a result of their AMH is often somewhat bit larger. In reality, I’ve a girl who I simply spoke with final week who’s 44 and has an AMH of two.4. Now, clearly AMH can be typically falsely elevated, however nonetheless for probably the most half, since you’re not ovulating as a lot. You recognize, and never, and doubtless not each cycle, you could have a bigger egg reserve than you even notice that you’ve got. So I really feel like that offers a whole lot of ladies hope with PCOS.
And there’s a whole lot of issues, like I stated, that we are able to do to detoxify estrogen and stability hormones naturally. That we are able to get the physique into the best 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 offers us a whole lot of perception.
And I all the time, I’m an ER physician, proper? So I’ve spent my profession studying a whole lot of EKGs’ and I sort of say that the BBT chart is sort of just like the EKG of fertility within the sense that it’s the window into what the physique is doing. I can inform if the follicular and luteal phases are too brief, too lengthy, in the event that they’re ovulating on the proper time, we are able to additionally see intestine points manifest on a temperature chart. We will see thyroid points manifest and on and on. When {couples} come to me, they’re like, properly, are we going to trace labs each single month? And I’m like, no, not essentially. We could need to repeat labs in a sure time period. However so far as what I’m doing on a weekly foundation to maintain monitor, to verify we’re going the best manner is I’m monitoring your signs and I’m monitoring your temperatures. And that offers us a wealth of knowledge.
Katie: I’m so glad you introduced that up. So I’ve been doing a little type of pure household planning for nearly 20 years now. And so I’ve tracked my basal physique temperature over a whole lot of years. And I’ve positively seen once I was within the thyroid points section, I had a a lot decrease basal physique temperature and now it stays a lot larger, which I view as signal as a result of it means hopefully my metabolism is working a lot 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. However inside that sample, are there splendid ranges of temperature or does that change 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 have a look at the sample. The sample is a very powerful factor. So estrogen tends to be a really cooling hormone. So we’re on the lookout for low regular temperatures within the first half of the cycle. We’re on the lookout 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 on the lookout for a lovely heat curve in direction of the latter half of the cycle. I do discover that you will have actually rock and roll in cycles for those who do have intestine well being points, for those who’re below a whole lot of stress. I’ve seen some fairly huge alterations by way of if any individual is touring and perhaps going between time zones. And right here’s the humorous factor, I can even inform when any individual is dishonest on their food 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 a whole lot of inflammatory meals as a result of your physique reacts to every thing that you simply do. You sort of can’t disguise from it.
Katie: That’s so fascinating. And I’ve been excited to see extra instruments accessible not too long ago that assist this knowledge be extra accessible to all of us. Like I do know early on for me, it was like particular thermometers having to make an precise bodily paper chart. And now apps can accomplish that a lot of this for us. And if I make it simpler in your facet as properly, as a result of you’ll be able to entry that knowledge in actual time together with your sufferers. However positively on a private stage, I might encourage ladies to trace that as a result of it’s really easy now. And it’s such fascinating perception into your well being on a month-to-month foundation. So I’m very excited that that knowledge is now accessible.

What about {couples} who perhaps have been instructed that they’ve already been by way of IVF or IUI and kind of been instructed they’re a misplaced trigger? Do you’re employed with {couples} like that? And do you discover that that’s not all the time 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 explanation for why it hasn’t labored. And truly, I’ll let you know a humorous, an awesome story. And that could be a couple that got here into my world. And he or she, we truly assist a whole lot of healthcare suppliers as a result of, , they discover me relatable as a result of I’m a historically educated board licensed doctor. And so I’ve a whole lot of physicians that we truly assist fighting infertility.
And so this doctor occurs to be an endocrinologist, the irony of it, proper? However she grasp’s hormones, like that’s what she does for a residing. And so she got here to me and her husband is a doctor too, he was an 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 occurring on clearly a way more intimate stage than the standard lay particular person and sadly ended up getting overstimulated and obtained actually, actually sick from all the hormones. So they’d been attempting for years, failed all of these rounds, had clearly spent an exorbitant amount of cash after which they discovered me they usually stated, properly, what are you able to do for us as a result of we’re positively not going again to IUI or IVF. We wish 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, , outlined as 90 to 120 days. And I believe 12 weeks, it’s sort of like that pleased place. So I all the time say for the 12 weeks that we’re working collectively, I would like us to simply take away, , actively attempting from the forefront of our minds and simply deal with our well being, deal with our relationship with our liked one, deal with bonding, , deal with into me, intimacy, since you need to be intimate and never since you’re attempting to create a child and create a life.
And so I had instructed this what, I would like you to take a break for 12 weeks. So that you open to that. They stated, completely. They got here they usually labored with us. And we obtained an e mail eight weeks into them working with us, apologizing as a result of they have been pregnant. And it was probably the most heartwarming factor as a result of they have been like, we promised we weren’t attempting. 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 attempting to say.
It’s as a result of we have been truly in a position to dial again. You recognize, take a step again, take a chook’s eye view of all the physique, not simply our hormones and our fertility organs, work out 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 truly remains to be an opportunity of pure fertility. We simply must do the best issues in the best 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 certain even simply taking that stress out for eight weeks was most likely large for them.
And also you touched on one thing else that I used to be going to ask, which is… That she sort of reached a fatigue level with the hormones and every thing required for all of these cycles. And I ponder, is there a danger to these kind of synthetic hormones being utilized in huge doses throughout all these rounds of IUI or IVF?
Nashat: Yeah, sadly, sure, I might say that, , they are often linked to a number of persistent well being circumstances. You recognize, there are many hormone imbalances that may ensue afterwards. I can’t let you know what number of ladies have come to me after having gone by way of all these hormones and saying, , my physique is destroyed. Now I’ve horrible sleep. I’ve gained, , 30 kilos. I’ve a whole lot of mind fog. You recognize, 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, , the normal strategy is mainly forcing being pregnant on a physique that’s. Screaming I’m prepared.
And, , and so it’s simply, it’s unhappy as a result of it clearly does have a whole lot of negative effects. And naturally, , there may be, , there are, there may be some knowledge on the market to point that it might doubtlessly improve danger of sure sorts of most cancers. It clearly actually depends upon what the person routine is, , within the conventional strategy, there are such a lot of totally different regimens that may be given to a girl in several levels of stimulation. So I wouldn’t really feel comfy making a blanket assertion, however I can say universally that it’s not a nice expertise. I went by way of it myself and I used to be very conservative with my doses precisely for that motive. However I nonetheless felt horrible within the course of.
And, , 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 way 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 recognize, I want we had achieved this primary. Now, I do need to say that there’s a place for IUI and IVF, and it’s not that I’m not a believer in it. I simply imagine in uncovering the 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 inspiration earlier than we do IUI and IVF, we’re truly going to have a lot larger success charges of the process themselves.
You recognize, one of many issues additionally that I discover is somewhat bit deceptive is when a fertility clinic quotes a hit charge, 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 sort of see individuals tapping out. I believe probably the most I’ve had is perhaps 4 or 5, however no one desires to undergo six cycles. It’s not sustainable.
Katie: Yeah. Nicely, that makes full sense too, that even when somebody does find yourself going the IVF route, that addressing all of these items would improve the chance of a optimistic final result there as properly. It’s like I usually speak about in different areas of common wellness, it’s like for those who dial within the foundational issues, the sleep, the morning daylight, the hydration and food regimen, simply light motion, all these issues, the rest you do this may be extra biohacking or extra difficult or dietary supplements that value cash, these are all going to be more practical for those who get these foundational items in line first. And it makes complete 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 are usually not even attempting to get pregnant proper now, however it may be a consideration for the longer term. Are there any kind of good common rules at both totally different ages or simply basically good rules to keep up our fertility so long as doable? After which additionally simply to maintain our hormones wholesome as we grow old with fertility being linked to well being in so many different methods past simply having a child. Are there any good common 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 suppose is sort 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 crucial 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 wish 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 keep in mind that I’ve woken up and had damaged sleep. So sleep is admittedly necessary.
Hydration is one thing else that’s actually underrated. I all the time say you actually need 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, you then positively need to speak 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 big. Getting simply good previous daylight and having your ft on the bottom, grounding is admittedly necessary. Daylight, often simply quarter-hour a day, particularly within the morning if you are able to do it. It actually does assist set the stage on your circadian rhythm and likewise enhance the standard of your sleep. What else?
Meals is admittedly, actually necessary. Sadly, the nutrient density of our meals has plummeted as a result of most of us don’t eat seasonally anymore. So I all the time say, for those who can attempt to eat seasonally and the way do you do this simply? Go to a farmer’s market. That’s most likely the best strategy to eat seasonally is as a result of for those who 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 buying, keep on with the perimeter of the grocery retailer. That’s the place you’re going to seek out all of your perishables and your lean proteins.
And likewise, supply your protein thoughtfully. So issues like , grass fed beef, , hormone free and antibiotic free natural rooster ideally free vary, , all these sorts of issues are going to contribute to you nourishing your physique with extra nutrient-dense meals. As a result of I’m additionally a agency believer, sure, we want dietary supplements. I do use dietary supplements routinely with my {couples} to be able to pace up the therapeutic course of. But it surely’s not for me, dietary supplements are usually not endlessly. You recognize, in an excellent world, we actually need to use a meals first strategy. And I do this with a whole lot of my {couples}. So ladies who, as an illustration, have low progesterone and so much or half of a cycle, are actually going to attempt to assist them with progesterone-forming meals and so forth. Reasonably than, , turning to, as an illustration, 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 need to get them, most {couples} who come to me are very anxious to begin, , attempting to get pregnant. So we need to make the therapeutic course of as fast as doable.
However I believe in anyone who’s not actively in that section, and, , you actually need to set your self up for optimum well being, i feel simply doing a number of the tenets motion is clearly a extremely necessary one too. Ensuring you’re getting your steps in on daily basis and ensuring you’re getting a mixture of power coaching and, , cardio train. I believe muscle power might be one of the crucial underrated issues too, as we grow old. The quantity of muscle mass that you’ve got actually units the stage on your metabolism and vibrancy and longevity. So I believe muscle density and muscle power is admittedly necessary too. So these are only a few. I believe I’ve extra on my free obtain that our listeners can positively entry.
Katie: I’ll make certain these hyperlinks are included within the present notes and positively 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 danger of all-cause mortality and danger of damage, all of these issues are correlated with having sufficient muscle and we do lose some naturally as we age. So I really feel like that as a spotlight, particularly for ladies, is such an awesome 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 bear in mind ladies being there concurrently me and anyone over 35 was instructed they have been superior to maternal age. And I do know ladies are instructed fertility declines and it’s very arduous to get pregnant after 35. I might love to listen to your expertise with that and for those who’ve seen {couples} be capable to get pregnant naturally after age 35 and as much as what age is that doubtlessly doable?
Nashat: So I get that query so much and I by no means need to put an age on it as a result of it simply depends upon your biochemistry. I imply, I’ve a girl who I talked to the opposite day who’s 44 and has an AMH of like 2.5 as a result of she’s had PCOS. She has common cycles. She has zero indicators on her labs and her signs of being perimenopausal. And so she’s any individual that I instructed, what, I can get you pregnant naturally. Completely.
So I had all my youngsters after the age of 35. I went by way of unnecessarily, , invasive therapies to be able 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 probably the most half they… Over the age of 35 and I all the time inform them, , age is only a quantity. You recognize, there’s a lot that we are able to do. You recognize, I’m very clear. I do imagine in that too. So once I do my discovery calls with my {couples}, I’m all the time very upfront and I inform them, , if I don’t suppose I can assist you, I’m going to be the primary to let you know what the possibilities are. And I’m going to present you my, , finest skilled recommendation as to, , probably the most logical and finest subsequent step.
However, , I’ve additionally been very pleasantly stunned. There have been {couples} the place I believed, , this may occasionally not work they usually’ve ended up getting pregnant naturally. So I sort of say the sky’s the restrict. I imply, clearly if any individual is having irregular cycles and having menopausal signs, , these are, that’s when for me, it’s extra the signs which might be going to drive that quantity relatively than the precise age itself. I imply, we all know that clearly it turns into harder. 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 sensible. And I do know you’ve gotten so many extra assets accessible in your web site and you then work straight with {couples} as properly. I’ll make certain all of these hyperlinks are within the present notes so individuals that may discover you and work with you straight. However I really like that you simply’re spreading this message of the physique’s potential 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 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 make certain 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 in that case, what they’re and why.
Nashat: Gosh, I’ve so many to listing, however I’m going to select the newest one. And the newest 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 conduct patterns in childhood and determining how they’re manifesting in my grownup life. And never simply understanding the conduct patterns, however truly studying to rewire my mind into a brand new manner 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 attempting to get pregnant, whether or not we’re attempting to stability our hormones, whether or not we’re attempting to simply turn into the healthiest model of ourselves, no matter our private well being targets is, as a result of new habits are actually, actually arduous to type. 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 sort of create a brand new model of your self has been actually, actually highly effective for me prior to now six months or so. And I’ve been 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, to be able to optimize well being, are going to be required to make quite a lot of way of life adjustments that may really feel like we’re going somewhat bit in opposition to the grain. In order that’s most likely one in every 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 at present that may very well 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, , I don’t subscribe to the idea that as we grow old, , we begin to really feel extra drained, we begin to get fatter, we begin to have poorer sleep. I don’t subscribe to any of that. And that is alluding to what you stated earlier, Katie, I do imagine that you’re the CEO of your personal well being.
And I do really feel like it’s important that every one in every of us are all the time 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 selection with the intention to reside a protracted, vibrant life. And all the {couples} on the market struggling to get pregnant, there may be hope. And simply because any individual has instructed you which you can’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 all the time ask my {couples}, like, do you’re feeling like in your intestine you may get pregnant naturally? And 9 occasions 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 really like that. I believe that’s an ideal place to wrap up for at present. This has been such a enjoyable dialog. Like I stated, I really like the work you’re doing and I’m so glad we lastly obtained to talk. Thanks a lot on your time and for being right here.
