In reply to Julie.

Julie! I’d love to help put your mind at ease. I find the test really useless. I don’t think it’s a true indication of our fertility based on several factors. The main being that women who have come to me with low AMH levels and who have followed my protocol have tested 3 months later only to find it’s back within normal ranges. That either tells me the test is not accurate or that we aren’t born with all of our eggs! Either way, improving our fertility begins with what we do day to day, not what we do necessarily in our doctors office. My book Well & Good is completely focused on hormone health – if you don’t have it I’d love you take a look xo

Hi Nat, I live in the UK and wanted to say how much I look forward to receiving your email in my in box. I was reading through the recipe for the Maca slice and was scrolling through the comments when I came across something that really resonated with me. It was a post from 27/4/15, in reply to Rachel’s query, you said “Ovarian reserve really is irrelevant (I find it the most ridiculous test on the planet) because you can certainly turn that around.” I was wondering whether you could elaborate on that comment? To be truthful it had me awake last night wondering ‘what could have been’. Have you thought about writing a book devoted to the subject of fertility?

In reply to Catherine.

Seed cycling – I’ve written about it on here – using the moon calendar to mimic cycles is ideal.

Hi Nat,
In regards to your advise for many women to have maca in the second half of the diet. What would you suggest for those of us women with PCOS who are never quite sure where we are in our cycles due to the ever changing length of them?

In reply to Nat Kringoudis. Thanks so much Nat, I'll definitely give that a go. Fingers crossed with a few little tweaks I'll be back to 28 day cycles (or even pregnant)!! xox

In reply to Rachel. Hey Rachel - quite possibly yes! Ovarian Reserve really is irrelevant (I find it the most ridiculous test on the planet) because you can certainly turn that result around. Try taking it for the second half of the cycle and see! x

Love this Nat, can’t wait to try!! I’m 40 with a low ovarian reserve and hubby and I have been trying to conceive for 4 years. We’ve done everything from IVF to seeing a natural fertility specialist in Sydney and are sticking with this for now. My body seems to crave MACCA but since I’ve been taking daily my cycles have gone from 26/27 days to 50-60 day cycles. I was interested to hear you talk about using in the second half of the cycle… Maybe I should try this. Would the MACCA delay my ovulation? Love your work Nat xxx

In reply to Carmen. Yes - thanks Carmen, not sure what happened there! You can substitute anything you like really. Sesame seeds would be nice.

In reply to Sanne. It really depends on the person. I find this useful for some women - especially those with strong PMS symptoms.
