At age 43, Nancy Wolfson-Moche wanted to conceive. She was not eligible for “hi-tech” fertility treatments (IVF) due to an elevated FSH level (which western medicine said was normal in a healthy 43-year-old woman). MD’s said the FSH level may fluctuate, but once it goes over 30 it is an indication that the eggs are too old and not viable to conceive a healthy baby. Nancy’s FSH level was as high as 38. Through a macrobiotic diet and lifestyle, and by following the recommendations of Denny Waxman, her FSH went from 38 to 6 over a 12 month period. Two months later she went on a trip around the world and conceived her first child, somewhere between Bhutan and southern Spain, at 44. She gave birth to a full-term, healthy baby girl at age 45. Her second daughter was born when she was 51.
Nancy Wolfson-Moche is a New York City-based nourishment counselor, educator, and writer guiding women, children, and families on improving their health and well-being through making informed diet and lifestyle choices. She leads food-awareness workshops for children from 2 to 14 years old.
A graduate of the Strengthening Health Institute in Philadelphia, Nancy has studied macrobiotics with Denny Waxman for more than twelve years.
She was an editor on Style.com, Glamour, Seventeen, Parents, Departures, Redbook and Your Prom, and her articles on food have appeared in scores of magazines, including Eating Well, Good Housekeeping, Travel and Leisure and The Wine Spectator.
In addition, Nancy sits on the Board of Directors of Motherhouse, an organization offering spiritual, emotional, and physical support to all mothers; on the Board of Directors of Risa Jaroslow and Dancers; and is an Advisory Board member of both the Oded Halahmy Foundation for the Arts and of Adamah, The Jewish Farm Center, providing educational programs and products to build a more sustainable world.
Nancy is married to S. David Moche and they have two daughters, 9 and 3 years old.

I had two daughters at ages 4o and 43, and have helped other women do the same. However I do not recommend this to all women because of other life issues. When the mom is going thru menopause and the girls are going thru puberty this is not a good mix. There were days when my husband did not want to come home from work to face us, and I’m on the phone telling him he better hurry up and get home to fix a crisis! My girls are in college now and I have apologized many times over for being a dinosaur mom. I won’t be around to watch my grandchildren grow up. There are reasons why women should have their offspring in their 20’s and 30’s. It is much more natural and practical.
