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.

I am LITERALLY NOT OK today and honestly it's the chicken sandwich's fault. On this episode, I have the most amazing guest, Lisa Gilmore from the Unwinding Podcast, and we go deep. From attachment styles to dating trust issues, to fighting with your man over frozen cookies (justice for crumble), this one is for the emotionally unstable girlies just trying to survive in a secure-attached world. Also… I accidentally diagnosed myself live on air, so there's that.We also talk Love Island (single and vulnerable in the villa, duh), mommy issues, mental illness as a personality trait (lol), and how our exes were both our villains and our origin stories. Grab your headphones and emotionally-supportive beverages. It's a RIDE.

Send us a textYou've heard of estrogen, maybe even LH—but the real superhero in fertility? It's progesterone.In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols reveals how progesterone silently supports pregnancy, stabilizes the uterine lining, and prevents early contractions—all without the recognition it deserves.We break down the science: how progesterone is made from cholesterol, how it converts into testosterone and estrogen, and how granulosa and theca cells work together to build a pregnancy-ready uterus.Plus, Dr. Amols explains why blood levels may look “low” on vaginal progesterone, why that doesn't mean treatment failure, and why route of delivery really matters—especially in frozen embryo transfers.Whether you're trying naturally, doing IUI, or planning an FET, this episode will help you understand what progesterone is really doing behind the scenes—and why it might just be the most important hormone you never thought about.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Progesterone is your body's natural balancer. It counteracts estrogen, helps you sleep better, improves your mood, regulates your cycle, and even supports bone health. It's also key for the second half of your cycle (the luteal phase) and for overall balance and fertility. But here's the catch: you must ovulate to produce progesterone. Stress, nutrient deficiencies, or imbalanced cortisol can throw your system off, making ovulation harder — and your progesterone levels plummet. This is where my Progesterobalance Tincture comes in. With natural, time-tested ingredients like Vitex, red raspberry leaf, and Damiana, this tincture supports your body to: ▶ Regulate your cycle ▶ Reduce PMS symptoms (goodbye, cramps and clots!) ▶ Improve mood and sleep ▶ Balance progesterone levels naturally Whether you're dealing with irregular cycles, perimenopause chaos, or just feeling off, this blend is a game-changer. And no — you're not broken. Your body just needs the right support! Try Progesterobalance Tincture today — your hormones will thank you.

This conversation explores the impact of the menstrual cycle on training and climbing performance. The menstrual cycle consists of different phases, including the follicular and luteal phases, each characterized by hormonal changes. During the follicular phase, when estrogen levels are higher, climbers may benefit from intense strength training and challenging climbs. In contrast, the luteal phase, with higher progesterone levels, may be a time for focusing on mobility, technique, and lower-intensity exercises. Understanding these phases can help climbers tailor their training programs and be more forgiving of their performance fluctuations. Coaches and partners can also consider these factors when working with female climbers. Takeaways The menstrual cycle consists of different phases, including the follicular and luteal phases, characterized by hormonal changes. During the follicular phase, climbers may benefit from intense strength training and challenging climbs. The luteal phase may be a time for focusing on mobility, technique, and lower-intensity exercises.

In this episode, we explore how hormonal changes during the luteal phase can lead to feelings of wanting to quit everything—jobs, relationships, and even hobbies. The rise in progesterone after ovulation often causes fatigue, increased stress sensitivity, and a critical mindset, making everything seem overwhelming. These hormonal shifts can trick us into believing our lives are off track, when really our bodies are just asking for rest. By understanding these patterns, we can learn to give ourselves grace during this time, delay major decisions, and find comfort in knowing these feelings are temporary.
Here are a list of recommended workouts where you can still get 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes of movement in while dialing back the intensity: - Yoga (Gentle or Restorative) - Pilates - Walking - Low-Impact Strength Training - Cycling (Low-Intensity) - Stretching and Mobility Work
When most people think about having low progesterone, the topic of egg quality doesn't always come top of mind for being a top contributing factor to their low progesterone problem. Lots of women are recommended vitex and progesterone suppositories to solve their issue. However, this isn't necessarily the solution. In today's episode, I dive into two of the sexiest topics in the fertility space, low progesterone, egg quality and how they are closely interconnected and contribute to a positive pregnancy test and a healthy pregnancy. Then you'll hear from a client of mine Melissa who has PCOS and was struggling with secondary infertility for over a year until we started working together and got her cycles where they needed to be for a natural pregnancy in just 4 months of working together. Episode Highlights: The role of progesterone in the menstrual cycle and fertility Progesterone's role in early pregnancy How to know if you have low progesterone Common health conditions associated with low progesterone Egg quality and its essential role for optimal hormone production Egg quality and its connection to progesterone production Mel's story with secondary infertility and how she got pregnant naturally after 4 months of personalized fertility coaching Related Links: Sign up for private fertility coaching with the Bronze Package (limited spots available, enrolment closes Wed Sept 18, 2024) Check out the Silver and Gold Private Coaching packages here For full show notes and related links: https://www.naturallynora.ca/blog/115 Please Note: The contents of this podcast are for educational and informational purposes only.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Morgan: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm wondering if there's anything we can do to strengthen or improve teeth enamel. I've noticed in the last few years that my teeth seem to be less thick/ more opaque. Is this a mineral issue? Thank you! Marianne: Hello doctor Cabral, I'm tracking my cycle with an Oura ring and I experience a significant decrease in heart rate variability (HRV) accompanied by a notable rise in heart rate during my luteal phase. Is this a normal pattern? And if not, could you maybe let me know what could cause this? I'm a 46 year old female, very active, with a healthy weight and normal periods (27-30 days). Thanks so much for your answer. Best, Marianne Lara: Hi, dr. C! Hope you, your family & Bacci are well.. I've listened to you explain what's in Metavolve and how it works, so my question is, would you recommend it also for people with estrogen dominance, high stress levels, unregulated sleep & poor metabolism (also fibromyalgia) but their main goal is not weight loss? Thank you, you're the best! Happy healing, everyone! Maria: What does the research say about erythritol? Is it good or bad for you? Rita: Dear Dr. Cabral Thank you so much for doing what you do with such passion and commitment!I've been struggling with pain for 3 years, and up till now, I thought I had a tooth problem, but after not finding anything after dental x rays, examinations, I had an MRT scan ( magnetic resonance tomography ) in May. In the last3years, at irregular intervals, sometime twice a month, sometimes only once in every3months, I had massive pain on the left side in my upper jaw area,in the gums+in 1 tooth+severe headache-only once it happened on the right side but the same pain:upper jaw, gums,1tooth,severe headache. MRT scan showed my right side maxillary sinus is full of phlegm/mucus? I would love to get some advice on how to remove the phlegm / mucus from there?Thank you so much in advance, best wishes, Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3131 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers your fertility questions sent to the voicemail. Questions Answered: I am having trouble TTC for my second child after a laparoscopic appendectomy and a mass removed from my peritoneum. Should I be concerned about any structural damage? Does my AMH alone explain my two miscarriages and short luteal phase? What is my likelihood of success with IVF with my low AMH? How many cycles should I expect? After a D&C from a miscarriage, when would you be concerned if your patient hasn't gotten their period back? What should I look out for or discuss with my doctor to get my period back? Is there a big difference between a day 5 unhatched embryo vs a day 6 hatched embryo? How can the trigger shot impact the timing of your next period? Want to receive my weekly newsletter?
