58. What I’d Do Differently If I Started My Fertility Journey Today

show notes
If I were starting my fertility journey today, I would approach it very differently and much more simply.
In this episode of Hormone Happy Hour, I’m sharing what I would do differently if I were starting my fertility and hormone healing journey right now. After years of walking this out personally and working with clients, I’ve seen what actually moves the needle and what tends to keep women stuck or spinning their wheels.
I also open up about some of the patterns I had to work through myself, especially around control, undernourishing my body, and missing key signals like libido and cycle health. This episode is about stepping back, simplifying the process, and focusing on the areas that truly create a supportive environment for fertility.
In this episode, I walk through:
- The spiritual and nervous system roots that can impact fertility, including fear and control
• Why masculine and feminine energy (and relationship alignment) matter more than we think
• How libido can be an important signal of hormone health and fertility
• The key labs I would run early, including a full iron and copper panel and hair mineral testing
• Why mineral balance often needs attention before jumping into complex protocols
• The impact of under-eating and why adequate nourishment is foundational for hormone production
• Why male partners should be evaluated more thoroughly from the beginning
• How to find practitioners who understand the full body while still applying a fertility lens
