(Your AMH is not your destiny)
The fertility industry is sleeping on the biggest plot twist in women’s health.
You’ve heard it a thousand times: “AMH only goes down. Nothing you can do. It’s your egg count.”
That’s half-true. For normal aging? Yes. For the rest of us living in 2025? Absolute myth.
Thousands of women under are walking around with “undetectable” AMH… …who 12 months later have 2-4x higher levels. No IVF. No drugs. Just fixed the root cause 👀.
Here’s the part almost no doctor mentions:
There are TWO completely different reasons for low AMH.
- Real egg loss (age/genetics) → Truly irreversible (so far)
- Functional shutdown (stress, undereating, overtraining) → 100% reversible in months → Your eggs are still there. They’re just on mute.
This is the same biology that gives elite athletes and chronic dieters zero antral follicles during peak season… and 10–15 when they finally chill.
Studies on women with stress-induced low AMH: → Average 100–300% increase in 6–18 months → Biggest jumps from the lowest baselines (<0.5) → Age <43 is the magic zone
Real examples we’ve seen this year:
- 34 yo CrossFit coach: AMH 0.07 → 1.8 in 14 months
- 38 yo lawyer, 80-hour weeks: AMH 0.12 → 2.4 after sabbatical + 12 lbs
- 29 yo “healthy” influencer: AMH undetectable → 3.1 after stopping 75 Hard
Same eggs. Just turned the volume back on 📣
Red flags your low AMH is the reversible kind 👀:
- Under 43 (especially under 38)
- High-stress job or perfectionist vibes
- Intense workouts or past restrictive eating
- Periods still regular (this one shocks people)
- You “look healthy” but feel wired-and-tired
The tests that actually show which type you have? Most clinics won’t order it. Function Health does – 100+ biomarkers in one draw. Leptin, DHEA-S, cortisol curves, reverse T3, insulin – the exact levers that unmute your ovaries.

If you’re under 43 and someone just told you “low AMH = game over”… Send them this.
Your eggs might not be gone. They might just be waiting for you to stop running on cortisol and lettuce.
