She is also a health and life coach who's dedicated to helping individuals thrive in mind, body, and soul.   In our discussion, Mary and I are talking about 

Today's episode is deeply vulnerable for me and one of the most personal I've ever recorded: I'm unpacking everything I've learned so far on my 2.5 year fertility journey. I'll admit I've been guarded about this experience. It's a topic people often have judgement about – but I feel called to share. This conversation isn't just about labs, lifestyle changes, or protocols (though I share all of that too). My biggest takeaway? The mindset, hope, and deep healing I've found in the process. I never want to look back at this period in my life and just see pain, frustration, or confusion. Joy isn't at the finish line: it's in the detours, the upgrades, and the protein-rich breakfasts I eat now that I never used to enjoy! Joy is in becoming the healthiest version of myself I've ever been. Please send the positive vibes, and I hope this episode encourages you to cultivate joy and purpose in your life, even in the midst of big challenges.    IN THIS EPISODE: Why I refuse to call myself "infertile" and how language and identity can shape our experiences of struggle The differences between conventional and alternative fertility care approaches (and why the system can be so frustrating) How environmental toxins affect fertility and the changes I've made to what I consume, as an act of self-love Harnessing spiritual connection and faith in this journey and why hope and deep trust in timing have been essential   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED My book is available in hardcover, Kindle, and as an audiobook.

Today we're talking about what your past with restriction, dieting, or an eating disorder has to do with your fertility right now — and what to actually do about it.

In Episode 62, I dive into the emotional reality of infertility during UK Infertility Awareness Week.

I also provide valuable guidance for friends and family members who want to support loved ones experiencing fertility challenges but may not know how to approach these sensitive conversations. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: My personal and raw story of nine years trying to conceive The emotional impact of both primary and secondary infertility The financial and relationship challenges that come with prolonged fertility struggles How ageism affects the fertility journey The importance of following your gut instinct when seeking treatment ACTIONABLE TIPS FOR SUPPORTING SOMEONE THROUGH INFERTILITY: Just listen without trying to "fix" their situation Avoid sharing success stories of people who got pregnant through various means Check in regularly, but respect boundaries if they need space Be mindful about sharing pregnancy news or complaining about your children Don't ask for updates about their fertility journey - let them share when ready Remember dates that might be difficult (due dates from losses, anniversary of failed treatments) Include them in activities even if other pregnant people or children will be there Avoid asking "Do you have children?" as a first question when meeting someone new Never respond with silence when someone shares their fertility struggles Don't use phrases like "just the one?" about family size Remember, if you're going through infertility, you are not alone.

In this deeply personal and educational episode, we take you inside our IVF journey while answering 5 of the most important questions anyone considering in vitro fertilization should know. From hormone injections to embryo biopsies, we're pulling back the curtain on the full process—emotionally, physically, and financially. We discuss: What are the real IVF success rates—and how much does age matter? We break down the data and share our own experience with genetic testing (PGTA), embryo freezing, and what happened after retrieval. What actually impacts IVF success? We explain the role of lifestyle, egg quality, embryo development, and how medications like Gonal-F and Menopur work to stimulate the ovaries—and the importance of avoiding ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). How much does IVF cost? We talk real numbers, from medication to procedures, and tips on what insurance may or may not cover. How many IVF cycles might you need? We give a realistic view of how many rounds most people go through, why it often takes multiple cycles, and what we learned during the waiting game for PGTA results. What are the risks and side effects of IVF? We highlight potential complications, like multiple pregnancies, miscarriage risk, and the physical/emotional toll of injections, birth control phases, progesterone oil, and cycle timing. We also cover how to choose the right fertility clinic using SART reports and share trusted medical voices to follow, including Dr. Lucky Sekhon, a leading fertility expert who provides evidence-based insights on social media. Whether you're just starting to explore IVF or are already in the thick of it, this episode offers honest insights, key medical facts, and encouragement for every step of the journey.

Minerals are a foundation to fertility. We want before pregnancy to be a time of mineral replenishment. You want to be in the positive, because nothing demands more nutrition than creating human life and your body's needs in the process to making that beautiful baby. Nothing will deplete you more than pregnancy and postpartum. So we don't want to start off in a deficit. This is why with every client we work with, after they get their first recovery period, we order an HTMA test to assess their mineral status and develop a customized gameplan based on their personal results so they can start off pregnancy in a state of nutrient replenishment. Learn more about why minerals matter in part 3 of our Nourish Your Body for Fertility Series! Today's episode is brought to you by our exclusive program, Premier Period Recovery for Fertility.

Beautiful Souls,Thank you for sharing this sacred moment in your fertility journey. Our bodies hold incredible wisdom and potential, and this meditation is designed to help you connect with that inner power. Let me know in the comments how I can better support your path to parenthood. With nurturing love, Michelle.

"If you're still feeling stuck, if you're still feeling there's something more, it's because you're not going inward enough." Topics Discussed How hormonal shifts impact motivation, mindset, and fertility The importance of radical honesty in personal transformation Why slowing down is essential for healing and self-awareness The false sense of security in doing "all the things" vs. actually going inward How subconscious patterns and generational imprints affect health and fertility Breaking free from the belief that healing must be instant or dramatic The underestimated power of sitting with discomfort and listening to intuition Menstrual cycles as a roadmap to self-awareness and hormonal balance How society conditions women to override their natural rhythms The importance of practitioners as mirrors for inner work rather than fixers Menopause as a transition into personal power rather than a decline The silent crisis of men's sperm health and why fertility is an overall health marker How epigenetics play a role in generational health challenges The importance of creating daily habits that support long-term well-being "The answer is within, the answer is always within." Hello, beautiful—the voice of Monica is here to shake up your fertility mindset once again. If you're still on the never-ending hamster wheel of “doing all the things” but still feel like you're getting nowhere, buckle up because today's episode is your reality check. We're talking about something that might make your Type A tendencies twitch—slowing down. Yep, the thing that feels impossible but is actually the secret sauce to unlocking your fertility and overall well-being. Rebecca Rankin is back, and we're diving deep into why ignoring your body's signals, overriding your natural rhythms, and stuffing your schedule with all the “fertility must-dos” is actually working against you. We're talking about real radical honesty—the kind that makes you question your midnight Googling sessions and your obsession with finding the next best supplement. Spoiler alert: the answer isn't out there. It's in you. Always has been. We also get into the not-so-sexy but oh-so-important truth about consistency, how your hormones affect EVERYTHING (yes, even that sudden urge to question your entire existence while doing the dishes), and why menopause might actually be your power era instead of something to dread. Plus, we tackle the biggest lie in the fertility world: the idea that once you “fix” your health, life will be smooth sailing forever. Newsflash—it's a lifelong journey, but one you actually have control over. So, if you're ready to ditch the frantic energy and actually start aligning with your body's wisdom, this episode is for you. Let's go. "Slowing down enough to listen to yourself is the most radical act of self-care you can do." Timestamps 00:37 – The power of radical responsibility and self-trust in fertility 01:17 – Why the inner work feels “slow” but is actually the fastest way to transformation 02:32 – The hard truth about healing: Why modalities don't work if you avoid the real work 03:53 – How past traumas and subconscious programming affect your nervous system 04:51 – The lost art of slowing down: Why we ignore our intuition 06:19 – Practitioners as mirrors, not saviors—how to know when to trust yourself 07:48 – Are you living on autopilot? Why you need to take back control 09:14 – The silent work your body does for you—hormones, gut health & energy 10:36 – Consistency over perfection: The secret to long-term healing 11:34 – The domino effect of small daily changes on your health & mindset 13:30 – How society has conditioned women to ignore their own needs 16:21 – The rising infertility crisis: What sperm health tells us about modern health 17:19 – Why birth control masks issues instead of fixing them 19:42 – Menopause: The era of not giving a f*** and stepping into your power 21:30 – The body's signals don't lie: How to listen and respond to your own needs 22:56 – Can you sit with yourself? Why true transformation happens in stillness 23:50 – The radical idea of just being with yourself—no distractions, no numbing 24:47 – Final thoughts: The one small action you can take today to shift your energy "You don't have to be perfect, but you do have to show up for yourself every single day."

By reducing these cells, OS-01 works to rejuvenate skin from the inside out, promoting a healthier, more youthful appearance. OS-01 switches off the damaged cells that contribute to lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. We dive into the science behind skin aging, the future of skincare, and how a holistic approach can support long-term skin health.
