EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nicole Smith to unpack PCOS through both clinical science and lived experience. We explore how PCOS often develops years before diagnosis, why so many women are dismissed despite clear symptoms, and how PCOS is not just an ovarian condition, but one that starts in the brain. We walk through early warning signs, the most important testing to consider, and why intuition, history, and data all matter when treating PCOS properly. This conversation is a powerful reminder that PCOS is not a life sentence and with the right approach, the body can absolutely heal. ABOUT DR. JANE’S PRACTICE: Dr. Jane is a Naturopathic Doctor and a Natural Fertility Expert. She and her team of expert practitioners help couples navigate infertility for 1+ years, get to the root cause of their struggles, heal, and bring healthy babies home. After having a family member struggle with infertility and experiencing a miscarriage herself, Dr. Jane realized how little support and education women receive. She is on a mission to change that. Since 2020, she has dedicated her practice to fertility, where she and her practitioners work with couples 1:1, running functional lab work, customizing treatment plans and providing her couples with the support they need to get pregnant, have a stress free pregnancy and a healthy baby.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, I’m joined by Elizabeth Katzman from Strong Choices to talk all things perimenopause, hormone health, and the truth about HRT. We unpack the confusion around birth control, hormone testing, mitochondrial health, and why your body needs more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're in your late 30s, navigating perimenopause, or supporting someone who is, this conversation will help you understand what’s really happening in your body and how to advocate for the support you deserve.

HRT must be personalized to be effective. Lifestyle factors significantly impact hormonal health. Understanding hormonal changes is crucial for women. Testing is essential for effective hormonal treatment. Nutrition plays a key role in managing hormones. Stress management is vital for hormonal balance. Women often underestimate their ability to monitor fertility. The messaging around menopause can be misleading. Bone health is critical for women, especially during menopause. About My Guest As a lawyer, I didn't think I would end up devoting years of my life uncovering how to be a healthy, fully functioning human being. Yet, within my family we've tackled mold illness, thyroid disease (Hashimoto), parasites, heavy metal toxicity, leaky gut, and more-all without traditional medicine (although it has its place when needed). Just when I thought I had it all figured out, in came perimenopause! I realized it was time to get back to work to heal myself!

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the unconventional - yet highly effective - approach I use in practice to help couples conceive and build lasting health. I share six bold ways my team and I are redefining fertility care, including why I no longer recommend prenatals or fish oils, don’t treat based on age or research alone, and never prescribe supplements without testing first. You’ll also hear why I always include the male partner in care, even when his sperm is considered “normal.” If you’ve been following generic advice that isn’t moving the needle, this episode will show you what’s likely missing, and how to move forward with more clarity and confidence. My mission is to empower you to heal deeply, conceive naturally, and build generational health from the ground up. ABOUT DR.

Dr. Levesque emphasizes personalized medicine and data-driven decisions. She does not prescribe supplements without concrete data. Prenatal vitamins are not recommended without specific testing. Both partners are involved in fertility treatment for better outcomes. Understanding individual needs is crucial for effective treatment. Research alone is not sufficient; clinical experience is vital. Fish oils are not recommended due to environmental concerns. The partner's health is equally important in fertility treatment. Intentionality in medicine increases its effectiveness. ABOUT NATURAL FERTILITY: Pregnancy is a natural process, so if it’s not happening or it’s not sticking, something is missing.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this powerful conversation, I sit down with practitioner Katie Redding to unpack one of the most frustrating patterns we see in our practice - women feeling stuck, spinning their wheels, and not getting anywhere on their fertility journey. We explore the root causes of this "hamster wheel" dynamic, including mistrust of practitioners, fragmented testing, and unhealed trauma patterns that lead to self-reliance and burnout. We also share clinical insights on what’s often missed in conventional care and why having a personalized strategy is the missing piece. If you’re feeling exhausted, stuck, or overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and clear next steps. ABOUT DR.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, I sit down with Brendan Vermeire, also known as The Holistic Savage, for a powerful conversation on the intersection of metabolic health, mental health, and true healing. We explore why physiology and psychology cannot be separated, how inflammation, toxins, and infections can shape mood and behavior, and where mindset, trauma, and responsibility fit into the healing process. Brendan shares his personal journey, including his experience with suicide, resilience, and why fitness, intuition, and meaning matter just as much as lab work. This episode challenges the idea of chasing endless “root causes” and invites a more integrated, honest approach to healing and longevity. ABOUT DR.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, Dr. Jane sits down with Dr. Elissa Chambers to unpack the vagus nerve, nervous system regulation, and how all of it connects to fertility. From breathwork and yoga to ear massages and emotional healing, they explore how low vagal tone shows up in digestion, hormones, sleep, and stress and how to build it back up. You’ll also hear how beliefs like “resting makes me lazy” can keep your body stuck in overdrive, and why slowing down is often the hardest but most powerful medicine. They share real patient examples, daily practices, and one-liners you’ll want to write down. If you’re tired of being told to “just relax,” this episode gives you the science and strategy behind why that advice actually matters. ABOUT DR.

Vagal tone is similar to muscle tone; higher tone means better stress management. Practices like diaphragmatic breathing can enhance vagal tone. Emotional beliefs can hinder relaxation and affect health. The gut-brain connection is vital for overall well-being. Stress responses can impact fertility and reproductive health. Individualized care is essential for effective treatment. Healing is a non-linear journey that requires patience. Lifestyle changes can significantly improve vagal tone.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, I’m joined by Melissa Christie from PCOS Fertility Support to talk about the real PCOS journey - beyond the diagnosis. Mel shares her personal story of pregnancy loss while traveling abroad, the gaps in conventional care, and what finally helped her get pregnant and stay pregnant. We unpack the six root causes of PCOS, why “just take the pill” is not a real solution, and the critical role of progesterone in early pregnancy. This conversation is a must-listen if you're navigating PCOS, feeling unheard by your doctor, or wondering what’s really driving your fertility struggles. ABOUT DR.

It's essential to question the reasons behind health trends rather than accept them as fate. Genetics alone cannot explain the rise in PCOS cases. A mindset of empowerment can lead to better health outcomes. Resigning to the idea of being 'broken' is not a solution. Understanding the body is crucial for health management. Societal factors may contribute to health issues like PCOS. Awareness and education can combat health fatalism. Taking action is better than feeling helpless about health conditions. The conversation around women's health needs to evolve.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, Dr. Nicole and I talk about the very real emotional and social challenges that come up around the holidays when you’re on a fertility journey.

Emotional triggers, such as pregnancy announcements, can be heightened during the holiday season. It's important to prioritize self-care and emotional well-being during stressful times. Hibernation and slowing down can be beneficial for mental health and fertility. Comparison to others can lead to feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. Perseverance is key in both fertility journeys and parenting. Setting boundaries with family and friends is essential for emotional health. Creating a supportive community can help alleviate feelings of isolation. It's okay to withdraw from social situations that feel overwhelming. Making empowered choices about health and diet is crucial for long-term well-being.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, I walk you through a complex fertility case involving a couple who had “done everything” - IVF, detox protocols, clean living, endless supplements, yet still weren’t making progress. I break down the real reasons they were stuck, including overlooked methylation issues, heavy metal toxicity, microbiome imbalances, and the emotional stress that was impacting their nervous systems. I share how we approached their case differently, what shifted once we had the right data, and how quickly the body can change when you address the actual root causes. If you’ve been spinning your wheels or told to “just keep trying,” this episode will show you what’s possible when fertility care becomes both strategic and deeply personalized. ABOUT DR.

Methylation plays a crucial role in fertility and overall health. Emotional health is as important as physical health in fertility. Frequent testing is essential to track progress in fertility treatment. A supportive partnership is vital for a successful fertility journey. Detoxing is not always the root solution for fertility issues. Understanding the body's signals is key to addressing health issues.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this solo episode, I share what I’ve been seeing in clinic lately, specifically how certain bugs like Enterococcus faecalis are showing up in the vaginal microbiome and impacting fertility. I walk you through why gut and vaginal health are deeply connected, why testing matters, and yes… why it might be time to say goodbye to your thongs. If you’re struggling with unexplained infertility, recurrent loss, or endometriosis, this is a must-listen. ABOUT DR.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, I sit down with Morgan, a Fertility 101 member who chose to get proactive before trying to conceive. With a history of irregular cycles, a PCOS diagnosis, and 10 years without a period due to the Mirena IUD, she wasn’t sure what her fertility journey would look like. But instead of waiting to struggle, Morgan decided to prepare. She took the time to understand her body, support her hormones, and eliminate the fear. Now at 37 weeks pregnant, her story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to wait for a problem to take control of your journey. ABOUT DR.
