This week, in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, I'm sharing something deeply personal—my own infertility story.Infertility doesn't care how carefully you've planned, how many degrees you've earned, or how responsible you've been. It shows up quietly, painfully, and often without answers. For years, I walked through unexplained infertility—while working in medicine, while helping others, while hearing “just keep trying” from professionals who didn't see the full picture.In this episode, I share:

If you've ever been told that birth control is your only option for endometriosis, PMS, or unexplained infertility—you're not alone. In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explores an unexpected yet powerful tool in restorative reproductive medicine: Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN).LDN was originally developed for opioid addiction, but at much lower doses, it's gaining traction for its ability to regulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and increase natural endorphins—all without suppressing your body's natural hormone systems.Through the emotional story of Charlotte, a 33-year-old therapist worn down by chronic pain and hormonal chaos, we explore how LDN helped her break free from the cycle of monthly suffering and find renewed hope.Dr. Minjeur dives into:

You're not lazy. You're not crazy. And it's not just stress.
