Worried About #fertility in your 40s? Consider this. #ttc #ttcover40 #1in8 #fertilityexpert

Rosanne Austin and Chris Axelrod discuss removing fear around getting pregnant in your 40s, emphasizing that it's different but not impossible. They share practical advice on mindset shifts and self-care foundations.

Teachings 2

  • Your body has regenerative capacity at any age that can be enhanced through proper self-care — sleep, hydration, and low-carb nutrition

    Chris outlines three foundations: 8-9 hours sleep, 6 bottles of water daily, and keto-light diet focusing on fats and proteins over carbs

  • Focus forward, not backward — energy spent second-guessing past timing is energy you could use taking your next step with clarity

    Chris's 'law of forward focus' principle emphasizes that looking back and second-guessing drains energy needed for moving forward successfully

Perspectives 4

  • Turning 40 doesn't mean fertility ends — it just means the game changes, and different doesn't equal bad

    Rosanne conceived naturally at 43 after years of being told it would never happen. Chris has helped patients conceive up to age 45 with their own eggs.

  • Statistics are averages — if you were average, you'd already have kids. You're an outlier, which means you can beat average odds

    Chris treats thousands of patients and gives everyone 50/50 odds because 'you're either going to get pregnant or you're not' regardless of age

  • Having babies in your 40s brings wisdom, maturity, financial stability and deeper appreciation that younger mothers often lack

    Rosanne is grateful her son came at 43 rather than when she first wanted him. Chris acknowledges he wouldn't have been as good a father in his late 20s/early 30s.

  • Don't seek validation from doctors who are conservative with predictions to protect their own egos from failure

    Chris explains doctors give low percentages to hedge against failure, while he gives everyone 50/50 odds and focuses on embracing success rather than fearing failure

Quotable Moments 4
