Naturopathic doctor and LGBTQ+ mom who conceived both her children using at-home insemination with a known donor.
Dr.
Priya Anand is a licensed naturopathic doctor specializing in reproductive wellness, based in Austin, Texas.
She and her wife Meera used at-home insemination with a known donor to conceive both of their children, Arjun (born 2022) and Kavya (born 2024).
As someone who understands fertility from both the clinical and deeply personal side, Priya brings a unique perspective to her writing.
She earned her doctorate from Bastyr University and completed additional training in reproductive endocrinology.
Her approach blends evidence-based supplementation with practical lifestyle guidance, always grounded in published research.
At MakeAMom, Priya focuses on the science behind fertility supplements, age-related fertility changes, and the specific challenges LGBTQ+ families face when building their families.
Outside of work, Priya coaches her son's peewee soccer team, tends an ambitious vegetable garden, and hosts a monthly community dinner for queer families in her neighborhood.
