    Have you considered how the choices you make today shape the health and destiny of your children before they're ever born?What if the most important gift you could ever give your future child is the health and resilience you build in yourself today?As rates of chronic health conditions in children—including autism, anxiety, diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune disorders—continue to rise, it's time to take preconception seriously. Science shows that the health of our children is determined not just by genetics, but epigenetics. Your health at the time of conception is a snapshot or time capsule that contains the genetic and epigenetic blueprint for your child for the rest of time.It's a shocking realization, especially for men: Your lifestyle choices during preconception will forever affect the genetics and health of your children (and their children!). That means optimizing your health and fitness is not merely an exercise in vanity, but an opportunity to give your future children the best chance at health and success. After all, the biological definition of fitness is the ability to produce healthy offspring. Today, we're exploring how the choices we make today shape not just our own health, but the health of our future children and even generations to come. I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Ann Shippy, a unicorn in the world of medicine—a board-certified internal medicine physician, certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and a former IBM engineer who's turned her passion for macro-level systems thinking and problem-solving into a mission to revolutionize how we think about health.If you care about your health, your family's future, or just want to understand how to build true resilience in a toxic world, you're in the right place.

In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down the real differences between Clomid (clomiphene citrate) and Femara (letrozole)—two medications that may look the same but work in totally different ways.Learn how each medication triggers ovulation, why increasing your dose doesn't always improve your chances, and when doctors decide to switch from oral pills to injectable gonadotropins. Dr. Amols also shares the surprising origins of both drugs (spoiler: one started as birth control and the other as a cancer treatment!) and explains why “doing more” isn't always the right move in fertility treatment.Whether you're trying to understand your options, navigating PCOS, or wondering why your doctor didn't bump your dose, this episode will help you make sense of your fertility journey—one taco at a time.

    In this solo episode,  I'm sharing five surprising fertility secrets that most people don't know, but should! These insights may completely shift how you view your reproductive health and help you uncover areas that could be holding you back. From the surprising link between gum health and fertility, to the fact that you can bleed monthly without actually ovulating, to how seasons, light exposure, and immune balance all play a powerful role in conception, this episode is packed with practical tools and eye-opening science. Whether you're actively trying to conceive, planning ahead, or simply curious about the deeper connections between your body and fertility, these insights will empower you to take charge of your journey. Key Takeaways: Gum and dental health directly impact sperm quality, egg health, and time to conception. You can have a regular period without actually ovulating, here's how to truly confirm ovulation. Fertility can vary with the seasons, with research showing higher conception rates in autumn and winter. Light exposure and circadian rhythm play a major role in hormone balance and reproductive health. Immune balance is critical for implantation, too much or too little activity can block pregnancy.

    Fertility specialist and Harvard Award scholar Gabriela Rosa joins Amy Stuttle to cut through confusion about infertility—what it is, when to seek help, and why “optimize first” beats “wait and see.” Gabriela explains how the healthcare system's 12-month definition can delay care, why fertility is a team sport (male and female factors contribute about 50/50), and how sperm quality changes every 3–4 months. She outlines her diagnostics-first method, shares program results (78.8% live birth rate in a cohort with an average of four years of infertility), and breaks down common pitfalls—from incomplete semen testing to overlooked infections and lifestyle drivers. You'll hear practical guidance on timelines, AMH and egg reserve, miscarriage workups, what to do before IVF, and how to fast-track next steps if you're starting later in life. Gabriela also addresses hot-button topics like long-term birth control and Tylenol use in pregnancy with an evidence-level lens.

    What happens when a decade of birth control meets a fierce determination to rewrite a fertility story? In today's episode, I interview my client Lindsey who cracks open the real challenges behind her quest for pregnancy including unexpected gut troubles, hormonal confusion, and the frustration of a short luteal phase. After trying without success on her own, she signs up for 1:1 private coaching and begins a transformation that reshapes not just her health, but her future. What Lindsey discovered deep inside her healing journey changed everything before she saw those two pink lines. If you've ever wondered what's truly possible beyond the usual advice, don't miss this intimate look at what it actually takes to shift the path to conception and why getting pregnant is only the beginning. Episode Highlights: For years, Lindsey followed the rules for birth control until a pivotal moment changed everything and set her on an unexpected course. Mysterious symptoms left her searching for answers. What she uncovered about her hormones and skin will surprise you. The battle for better gut health wasn't easy and came with frustration, setbacks, and then the breakthroughs she never saw coming. Each cycle brought new questions, and as Lindsey dove deeper, she uncovered secrets about her body she'd never known. Hope and heartbreak marked Lindsey's quest for pregnancy until, finally, a breakthrough arrived in the most unexpected way. The first trimester brought challenges that tested her resolve and revealed why her healing journey mattered more than ever.

    What happens when you choose a normal birth with twins?In this episode, I speak with Nicole, a mother from South Africa now living in the U.S., who chose sovereignty in one of the most medicalized and “high-risk” experiences imaginable: an identical twin pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was met with fear-based narratives—warnings of stillbirth, premature labor, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. But after enduring traumatic experiences in hospitals and with midwives, Nicole knew she would not birth her twins within the system.Instead, she underwent a profound process of deconditioning and committed to trusting her body. With the steady support of her husband, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate, and a community of women walking this same path, Nicole carried her twins to 40 weeks and welcomed them at home, in embodied sovereignty.Nicole shares the raw reality of holding responsibility for twins outside the system: the constant conversations about risk, the deep conviction it took to turn away completely, and the profound freedom of reclaiming birth on her own terms.Inside this episode:What Nicole witnessed in the hospital that made her vow never to returnHow she carried her twins to full term, trusting her body's wisdomThe support she found in a community of sovereign mothersWhat labor with twins looked like at homeThe double standard of blame when outcomes differ at home versus in the hospitalThe freedom and healing that come with birthing twins in sovereigntyTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:59] Two miscarriages and lack of support and answers from the medical system[07:05] Receiving news of a third unviable pregnancy and deciding not to take the pill[09:02] Discovering that the medical system was wrong about her third pregnancy, and that her baby was alive and healthy in her womb[11:19] Birthing her first son in a birthing center with a midwife, forced interventions, a fourth degree tear, and newborn separation[21:36] Postpartum hospital trauma, overreactions and threats[25:15] Another miscarriage and humiliating hospital treatment[32:13] Finding out she was pregnant with twins, midwife refusing to provide care, and choosing freebirth[1:00:00] Freebirthing her twins at home with her husband and birth attendant presentIf you want to connect more with Nicole, follow her on Instagram.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

Drawing on emerging research and data from her own lab, Dr Sulikowski explores how intersexual competition among women, shifting gender norms, and declining testosterone levels in men may be contributing to a wider pattern of reproductive decline. Their conversation covers the psychology of modern mating preferences, the unintended consequences of social narratives around motherhood and career, and the cultural implications of pronatalist and antenatalist ideologies. They also discuss contentious issues such as surrogacy, abortion, and assisted dying—all within the context of civilisational health and long-term population sustainability.

But here's the truth: up to 50% of infertility cases are male and men's reproductive health is a powerful window into their overall wellbeing, longevity, and disease risk.This week's guest, Professor Suks Minhas, world-leading consultant urologist and expert in male fertility is here to change how we think about men's health. With decades of clinical and research expertise, he reveals why sperm counts are falling, what it really says about men's health today, and the practical steps every man can take to protect his future.Together we explore: – Why male infertility makes up half of cases and why it's rarely discussed – The surprising links between sperm health, testosterone, and metabolic disease – DNA fragmentation: the overlooked cause of “unexplained infertility” – How lifestyle, stress, alcohol, and obesity directly affect fertility– The role of endocrine disruptors and environmental toxins in declining sperm quality – Fertility preservation: should men also consider freezing their sperm? – Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): who it helps, who it harms, and why it can act as a male contraceptive – Actionable, evidence-based ways to optimise male fertility and long-term healthThis isn't just a conversation about reproduction. It's a wake-up call for men's health, fertility, and longevity.

    In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that often doesn't get enough attention when it comes to fertility, blood flow and microcirculation. From my perspective as a fertility acupuncturist and through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), blood is so much more than oxygen delivery, it's the vital carrier of nutrients, energy, and life force. I'll share why healthy circulation to the uterus and ovaries is essential for egg quality and implantation, and how poor blood flow can affect fertility outcomes. More importantly, I'll give you natural tools you can start using today, like acupuncture, abdominal massage, stress reduction, and foods such as beets and pomegranates, that can help support optimal blood flow. This conversation is all about reconnecting with your body, learning the signals it's giving you, and using holistic, practical ways to create the best possible environment for conception. Key Takeaways: Adequate blood flow to the uterus and ovaries is essential for egg quality and implantation. Stress and “liver qi stagnation” can constrict circulation, but acupuncture helps restore balance. Foods like beets, pomegranate juice, and omega-3s naturally increase nitric oxide and improve blood vessel health. Simple lifestyle shifts like yoga, breathwork, and warm nourishing meals can enhance circulation and fertility. Abdominal massage and castor oil packs are powerful, low-cost tools to support reproductive health. Ready to discover what your body needs most on your fertility journey?

    What happens when a DNA test reveals more than you bargained for? How do you process finding out that your family story isn't what you thought it was? And can identity, belonging, and love transcend genetics?  In this moving episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine sits down with actress and writer Lisa Brenner to explore how an unexpected DNA result changed her life and inspired her new film, One Big Happy Family. Lisa shares the deeply personal journey of discovering she was an NPE (non-parent expected), what it meant for her relationship with her mother, and how decades of secrecy around fertility treatments in the 1960s and 70s shaped her story. Through candid reflection and humor, Lisa reveals how grief, resilience, and identity intertwine with the powerful theme of family—both the one we are born into and the one we build. Listeners will learn about the hidden history of fertility medicine, the emotional complexity of uncovering DNA surprises, and the healing power of transparency and connection. This episode is filled with honesty, curiosity, and hope, reminding us that family is love—no matter how it's formed.

    When you're going through fertility treatments, you never imagine they will end without a baby. I didn't. I believed that if I tried hard enough, followed every step, and stayed committed, eventually I would have the child I dreamed of. But when IVF failed and motherhood didn't happen, I was completely unprepared and unsupported. That gap, the silence that follows when treatments end without children, is why I became a member of ASRM, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and serve in their Mental Health Providers group.  In October I am attending the ASRM annual congress with thousands of reproductive Endocrinologists, fertility doctors, IVF nurses, and fertility specialists from around the world. My mission is to make sure the voices of women who are childless after infertility are part of the conversation. For an upcoming podcast episode I will be interviewing a fertility doctor who not only treats patients but has gone through IVF herself. This is your opportunity to shape that conversation. ✨ What do you wish you had received when you left treatments without a baby? ✨ Were you offered support, and if yes what was most helpful? ✨ If you weren't, what do you think would have made the biggest difference? ✨ And what is one question you would love me to ask a fertility doctor about life after treatment?
