    After losing her first daughter Lily at birth, Lexi set out to feel it all. To her it was important for her to lean into her pain, her grief, and her motherhood to a baby no longer here. Lexi poured herself into her poetry, that she self published as a way to connect with Lily as well as take time and space to just BE with herself and her pain instead of pushing it away. Since Lily's death, Lexi has since had her little sister Daisy. We talk about the beauty and sadness in raising a living child after loss and the complexity of parenting one here and one in the sky. You can tell her love for her daughters and the strength she exudes despite her pain is inspiring.

    “We've been sold this idea that we can do it all—but no one warned us what it would cost our fertility.” Topics Discussed Medical gaslighting in fertility care The myth of “unexplained infertility” How testing without intuition leads to burnout AMH panic and the IVF fear factory Western medicine vs empowered fertility care Surrendering control while staying empowered “Unexplained infertility is just code for 'we didn't bother to look deeper.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here… and let me just say this: if you've ever felt like your fertility journey has turned into a full-time job with zero PTO, this episode is going to hit. Deep. Today, I'm back with Jenna for a raw, powerful part two. We're digging into the medical gaslighting, the industry that thrives on your fear, and what it really means to make empowered choices around fertility. You'll hear us riff on everything from “golden handcuffs” and birth control's broken promise to how the IVF system is built like a car dealership—complete with the closer. And yes, we're going there. We're naming the truth: you're not broken. Your body is wise. And sometimes the most radical thing you can do is slow the hell down, get outside, and stop living like your worth is measured in checklists and lab results. So, if you've been white-knuckling this journey, waiting for someone to finally say, “You can rest,” this is your permission slip. Press play, take the walk, breathe deeper. You're not alone—and you're not crazy for wanting more than a number on a chart. “If you're not ovulating, you're not connected to nature. And if you're not connected to nature, you're not connected to your intuition. Full stop.” Timestamps [02:25] Understanding why innate fertility is still real and how to reconnect with it. [05:39] How the fertility industry is indoctrinated and profits off your panic. [09:53] What real empowerment in fertility looks like, plus the power of trusting your intuition. [16:40] The hidden risks of IVF nobody's talking about and the importance of boosting cellular health. [19:45] Understanding what “unexplained infertility” really means and why AMH freakouts are messing with your mind. [21:09] Jenna explains the real problem with obsessively testing everything and how to test the right way. [23:38] What low energy says about your fertility readiness and why you should have your energy in check before pregnancy. “The baby doesn't want your hustle. The baby wants your presence.” Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/is-ivf-the-only-way-what-your-doctors-aren-t-telling-you-about-fertility-success  Connect with Jenna Longoria: https://www.instagram.com/theperiodguru/ https://pages.jennalongoria.com/fertility-checklist/  Let's Do This Together

    Guest: Morgan Sevareid-Bocknek, investigative reporter Imagine you want a biological kid and you need the help of a fertility clinic. But then imagine they implant the wrong embryo inside of you. Or half the wrong embryo - right egg but wrong sperm. Or the child is a race you weren't expecting. These scenarios and more have happened at Ontario fertility clinics, which remain under regulated. That means it's a challenge to hold them to account when things like that happen and hard data for those trying to figure out which clinic to choose is hard to come by.  How could something so important, so medically invasive and psychologically delicate remain under regulated in Ontario? And though the government got close to closing gaps in regulation, it was never completed. Tune in to find out why. PLUS: We speak with a lawyer who specializes in fertility negligence law who details some of the worst cases she's seen - and how the province might be able to forge a path forward.

    I encourage all of my patients to find what I refer to as a “cabana boy.” I like the idea of someone fanning them with a big palm leaf, and taking care of their every need while they relax and take it easy during fertility treatment.  Since it can be hard to find a good cabana boy these days, I am always on the lookout for ways to make things easier for my patients. Still, eating right is super important during fertility treatment, AND meal prep and planning can be one more thing to add to your “plate” during an already busy time. When I found out about Methodology, I knew I had to have CEO Julie Nguyen on The Egg Whisperer Show. I know you'll be inspired by Julie's story of how she started Methodology as a way to eat better, and eat healthier, while still having quick and easy options for a busy life. In this episode you will learn about how gut health impacts your overall health, easy ways to eat a cleaner diet, and how some of those ailments (eczema, asthma, and sometimes sleep issues) you have might be the result of what you're eating.. Our current culture provides so many opportunities to pick up fast and processed foods, and while that seems like a faster option, it's not always your best option. I hope you'll join Julie and I as we talk about ways to fix this, especially during a time when you are looking for ways to eat healthier and have easy food prep options. Julie Nguyen is the Founder & CEO of Methodology, a company that makes high-quality, fully cooked meals for busy professionals. Julie holds a BA in Economics from Stanford, and started Methodology after discovering that her own diet was negatively impacting her health and causing eczema, asthma, and poor sleep. Six years, Two nutritionists, 3 personal trainers, and an enormous excel sheet later, Julie had unlocked the keys to tracking her own eating habits and that was the start of Methodology.

    Have you heard all the buzz about CoQ10 for fertility—but aren't sure if it's right for you or worth the investment? You're not alone. In today's episode, we're breaking down exactly how CoQ10 works, what it does for egg and sperm health, and how to tell if it's truly the supplement your fertility needs.Coenzyme Q10 has become one of the most talked-about fertility supplements for both men and women. But is it always necessary—or even helpful—for everyone trying to conceive? If you've been told your AMH is low, you're over 35, or you've had poor embryo quality in IVF cycles, CoQ10 might offer benefits—but it's not a magic pill. Learn how this powerful antioxidant supports mitochondrial energy, the hidden factor behind egg maturation and sperm motility, and why the “one-size-fits-all” approach to antioxidants may not be your best move.In this quick episode, you'll learn:- How CoQ10 helps power your reproductive cells at the mitochondrial level- Why it may improve egg quality, sperm DNA, and even IVF outcomes- What to look for in a CoQ10 supplement (hint: not all forms are created equal)- Why functional testing like the Antioxidant Protection Assay can help you personalize your antioxidant support—so you're not wasting time or money

    I finally sat down with Melissa Kupsch, founder of RMDY Collective, to dive into a healing modality that's long been overlooked on this show—homeopathy. Melissa brings a powerful mix of personal story, clinical experience, and spiritual insight to this conversation. We talk about the foundational principle of homeopathy (like cures like) and how highly diluted natural substances can stimulate the body's vital force to heal. She shares how a single remedy transformed her sister's life-threatening condition and recounts her own mind-blowing detox after taking just one dose.We get into the suppressed history of homeopathy, from its origins in the 1700s to its widespread use in US hospitals—until the powers that be saw its potential and shut it down. Melissa explains why homeopathy poses a threat to the pharmaceutical model, how remedies are made, and what makes them so powerful—even though there's "nothing" in them.Beyond the science, Melissa speaks to the spiritual and emotional healing that unfolds when the vital force is restored. If you've ever been skeptical about homeopathy—or curious about why it's been so marginalized—this episode will open your mind. I walked away more inspired than ever to dig deeper into this ancient, energetic form of healing.

    If you have spent years going through fertility treatments like IVF, pouring everything into your dream of motherhood, and still found yourself without a child, you know how heavy it feels to imagine a future that could ever feel as meaningful. In this week's episode, Lana shares a deeply personal story about standing on a piece of vacant land in Michigan, a place she and her husband dreamed of building their future home, and realizing that the path to something beautiful isn't coming without obstacles. If you're childless after infertility, it's so easy to believe your life will always feel smaller or less significant than those who got to have a child or raise children. You probably haven't seen many examples ofchildless women living fulfilling, connected lives without kids, so your brain fills in the blanks, telling you that it must be impossible for you. But just because you don't see the path doesn't mean it isn't there. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Why your brain convinces you that a meaningful life after infertility doesn't exist—and how that belief is just a story, not a fact. ✨ What to do when you feel like you're staring at a mound of sand that's blocking everything you wanted. ✨ How learning to trust yourself, even without a roadmap, is the first step to feeling proud of your life again. ✨ The truth about why feeling stuck doesn't mean you're broken, it just means you haven't been shown another way yet. If you're ready to stop assuming nothing will ever compare to motherhood and start creating a life that feels purposeful and satisfying, this episode will remind you: more is possible, even if you can't see it yet.

    Today's episode stems from a question from a client.Amanda (name changed for anonymity) states "I have been vegan for a few years, and would like to get pregnant, are there any nutritional considerations or nutrients of concern to think about?After practicing as a dietitian for almost 3 decades, I have seen many different clients and scenarios in varying stages of life. I have seen people, who avoid all animal products have a more difficult time getting their critical nutrients to help with fertility. That goes for both sides of the equation with the sperm and egg, plus uterine lining for healthy implantation and placental health.It's like growing a garden and starting with healthy soil and optimal seeds for the growth and development of a healthy fetus.We discuss vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B12, iron and many others.We know that some individuals have more difficulty with converting beta-carotene sources to retinol due to a risk variant of a certain gene, such as BCMO1 (two in five people have the risk variant of this important gene)Beta-carotene mono-oxygenase 1 (BCMO1) is an enzyme that plays  a key role in the conversion of beta-carotene into the active form of vitamin A. Beta-carotene is the plant form of vitamin A. Individuals who possess the GG version of the BCMO1 gene are inefficient at converting beta-carotene into the active form of vitamin A. These individuals need to ensure they are consuming adequate amounts of vitamin A, particularly preformed vitamin A, which comes from animal sources of food, such as eggs and fish.  How do you know if you are one of the 2/5 people with this risk variant? A Nutrigenomic test helps determine over 70 different genes that affect how your body processes certain nutrients. It's a great way to 'eat for your genes' and helps with customizing how you can ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs based on your genetics.Vitamin B12 is also a nutrient of concern for individuals, who do not include animal sources of food. Many vegans supplement with vitamin B12 to get adequate amounts to be healthy.We discuss many other nutrients of concern (while avoiding all animal products) and discuss some strategies to use, if fertility is important for you.If you are interested in having a Nutrigenomics test done, contact Sandra at mywifetherd@gmail.com with subject line 'Eating for your genes' and we can help support this request.Episodes mentioned include:Episode 2 Challenges and Opportunities with Pre-teen Vegetarianhttps://youtu.be/h5rThX-Q-HE?si=qg6O5Ak8X3jrE9CjEp 48 Vegan for Runners - Scott Fickersonhttps://youtu.be/vsk4Ze8xNB8?si=7TEtek8XEuVcB1m7Episode 92 - Pescatarian Diet Plan with Cara Harbstreet, RD https://youtu.be/ky5JkCOBJ3I?si=blhJLQxxuQVqqSO8Nutrition Nuggets 66 - Plant- Based Meats vs Real Meathttps://youtu.be/cfWvHkvDq80?si=47pl6LaqrNJnjha5Ep 85 Plant-Powered Protein with author Vesanto Melina, RDhttps://youtu.be/fXZSiYC5XPI?si=1YvzCWSVBSk3jA44Nutrition Nuggets 73 - How Many Plant Foods in your Breakfast?https://youtu.be/lej7xHKwEcw?si=Yk_RsxKVH1dv1_qsEnjoying the show?

    In today's episode I'm diving deep into one of the most debated questions of PCOS and fertility - should you be eating a low-carb diet when preparing for pregnancy with PCOS? If you've ever wondered why blood sugar seems to fluctuate more when you have PCOS, or why so many experts talk about insulin resistance and its impact on your fertility journey, you're in the right place. In this episode, I break down the science behind why PCOS makes you more susceptible to insulin resistance and what that actually means for your body and your hormones. I'll explore why blood sugar swings are more common with PCOS, how those ups and downs can affect ovulation and egg quality, and—most importantly—what you can do about it with your food choices. But here's where it gets really interesting. While low-carb and keto diets are often promoted as the “fix” for PCOS, the truth is much more nuanced. I'll share why these diets can sometimes backfire, especially when you're trying to conceive, and what you need to know to truly support your fertility and hormone health for the long term.

Leah talks about how Scrambled was inspired by her own journey of freezing her eggs as single woman in her 30's, how she was able to get the film made, the challenge of wearing so many hats on the project and how audiences would often want to hold and comfort her after seeing the movie. She also talks about her realization that if she wanted her Hollywood dreams to come true that she had to start creating her own projects. She also talks about bursting into tears when she saw Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar on the set of Last Summer because she was such a superfan of the original. Other topics include: writing Harry Shum Jr. a love letter to ask him to appear as "the one who got away" in Scrambled, how she was able to score Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club" for the film before it was everywhere, writing and performing scenes featuring bad sex, being a Britney-obsessed pop girlie through and through and falling in love with a man she met on Hinge, getting engaged and becoming the kind of wedding-obsessed woman she made fun of in Scrambled.

In this episode, I'm joined by Monica Cox, Energetic Functional Fertility Coach and founder of Finding Fertility. After being told by doctors there was nothing she could do to improve her situation, Monica took matters into her own hands—overcoming failed IVF cycles and miscarriages to eventually become both an IVF mom and naturally pregnant. Her story is one of radical self-trust, deep healing, and uncovering the power of the subconscious mind. We talk about how Monica went beyond functional medicine to address the emotional and energetic roots of infertility, and how that inner work ultimately helped her not only become a mother but build a business that's fully aligned with who she is. If you're holding space for others while still figuring things out for yourself, this episode will remind you what's possible.

    In this episode, Dr. Aimee goes live to answer your fertility questions, covering topics like DNA fragmentation, thyroid health, PCOS, embryo transfer timing, and more. She's joined by Paula the Producer and takes additional questions from viewers tuning in live! Here are the listener-submitted questions featured in this episode: 1. Sarah (39) from Maryland wrote in to ask: After four early pregnancy losses from unassisted conceptions, and now with four frozen euploid embryos, could DNA fragmentation still be a factor in causing miscarriage? 2. Stephanie (41) from California is wondering: Her doctor suggested doing a second egg retrieval and a frozen embryo transfer in the same week, using an embryo from the first retrieval. Is this really possible, and what are the pros and cons of doing both in one cycle? 3. Alex (38) from England asks Dr. Aimee: With a frozen embryo transfer coming up, does she really need to stop her favorite high-intensity workouts like Hyrox and Barry's Bootcamp? 4. Rebecca (37) from the United Kingdom is asking: After her TSH spiked unexpectedly to 27, can she still proceed with egg retrieval and freeze any good-quality embryos now, even if she needs to delay the transfer until her thyroid is back in range? 5. Lindsay (33) from Rhode Island wrote to ask: With a high antral follicle count but low mature egg yield, what else can she do (beyond lifestyle changes and supplements) to improve egg maturity during IVF? 6. Fab (37) from Australia wonders: After years of endometriosis, multiple surgeries, and one failed IVF cycle with no successful transfers, what can she do differently or consider for her upcoming round? 7. Elise (38) from Oregon wrote in with this question: She experienced intense pregnancy-like symptoms, like breast soreness, cramps, and dizziness, during failed transfers and unmedicated cycles. Is it possible for an embryo to cause these symptoms without actually implanting?
