What’s Really Behind Low AMH, Part 2: Real Women, Real Labs, Real Results
In part two of this series, Aimee Raupp takes the NLRP3 inflammation framework from part one and shows what it looks like in real women’s bodies, with real labs, real numbers, and real timelines. She shares the stories of women who were told donor eggs were their only option, then walks through one case in full detail to show exactly how she connects the pieces: thyroid, vitamin D, iron, leptin, metabolic famine, blood flow, and the emotional work that so often gets skipped.
Key topics:
* A quick recap of part one: AMH as a smoke detector, not a verdict
* How the NLRP3 inflammasome damages the granulosa cells that make AMH
* A woman with an AMH of 0.1, six failed IVFs, and five losses who got pregnant naturally at 42
* A medical professional who went from six failed IVFs with zero normal embryos to two euploid embryos at 44
* Why “your only option is donor eggs” is so often the wrong answer
* Judy’s full case: five miscarriages, a falling AMH, and a doctor pushing donor eggs
* The labs that told the real story: TSH, vitamin D, iron, and leptin
* Metabolic famine: how undereating, near keto eating, and overexercising suppress fertility
* Feeding your ovaries instead of your waistline
* Blood flow support with acupuncture, castor oil packs, and abdominal massage
* Why trauma and nervous system work are fundamental, not optional
* How Judy’s AMH rose from 0.7 to 1.2, and why that wasn’t the headline
* Looking back with 2026 clinical eyes: the hidden insulin resistance pattern
* Why low carb isn’t right for most women in their reproductive years
* An inside look at The AMH Protocol, Aimee’s new six week program
