Podcasts about Ovulation

Send us a textNot all fertility pills are created equal. 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.

Her own health journey through fatigue, brain fog, blood sugar issues, and hormone imbalances led her to integrative and functional nutrition, where she now supports clients with the same challenges she faced.We get into the real spectrum of PCOS, why the conventional boxes don't fit, and the deeper metabolic and gut factors that drive symptoms. The second half of the conversation unpacks the pro-metabolic movement, what works, what backfires, and why so many women feel stuck trying to make it fit. It's a raw and nuanced look at one of the most common questions women in my community ask.You'll Learn:The reason PCOS is more of a metabolic disorder than just a hormone issueWhat happens in the body when insulin resistance drives high androgens and irregular cyclesThe link between gut dysbiosis, inflammation, and worsening PCOS symptomsWhy so many women with PCOS lose minerals faster and end up depletedThe damage of excess iron and how it fuels inflammation and gut issuesWhat it feels like to follow a pro-metabolic diet that backfires with PCOSThe missing role of fiber, beans, and vegetables in restoring gut health and hormone balanceWhy one-size-fits-all PCOS protocols rarely work and what to focus on insteadHow mineral testing and stool testing reveal hidden drivers of stubborn symptomsThe importance of self-experimentation and trusting your body over rigid food rulesTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[06:22] Defining PCOS and why the conventional view misses the mark[13:24] Insulin resistance as the core driver of PCOS symptoms[16:23] The role of gut health and microbiome imbalances in driving PCOS symptoms[23:25] How mineral depletion and excess iron fuel inflammation and worsen PCOS symptoms[39:33] The pro metabolic approach as a nourishing alternative to restriction and fear of food[42:49] Reframing the pro metabolic approach for PCOS[58:09] Finding balance with pro metabolic nutrition by avoiding extremes and trusting your body's feedbackResources Mentioned:Period Repair Manual by Lara Briden | BookHeal Your Metabolism by Kate Deering | BookArticles and Writings by Ray Peat | WebsiteThe Feminine Periodical Newsletter | WebsiteMaster your minerals.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Lara Briden, a naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, and internationally recognized expert in women's hormones for a wide-ranging conversation on cycle health and why ovulation is a vital sign of wellbeing.We talked about how monthly ovulation creates hormones that support bones, metabolism, and brain function, and what happens when that rhythm is disrupted by stress, restrictive eating, or birth control. Dr. Briden explains why natural estradiol and progesterone are so protective, how they differ from synthetic hormones, and what that means for both younger women and women approaching perimenopause.She also shares her perspective on missing periods, hypothalamic amenorrhea, and the four functional types of PCOS, along with the growing role of insulin resistance in hormone imbalance. We talk about how to track ovulation, what lab markers to look for, and why restoring cycles is one of the most powerful steps for long-term health.Chapters00:49 - Ovulation as a vital sign of female health02:57 - Impact of hormonal birth control on ovulation and hormones07:51 - Benefits of natural estrogen and progesterone09:47 - Perimenopause and importance of hormones in young women11:49 - Benefits of estradiol and progesterone17:37 - Dysregulated or missing periods19:50 - Anovulatory cycles and tracking ovulation22:50 - Lag time for menstrual cycle disruption and recovery26:50 - Differentiating between hypothalamic amenorrhea and PCOS31:18 - Four different types of PCOS36:25 - Lab markers for insulin resistance58:53 - Recommendations for managing insulin-resistant PCOSDr. Briden socials + websiteWebsite: ⁠https://www.larabriden.com/about/⁠ Instagram: ⁠@larabriden⁠Kayla's social + website:Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/kaylabarnes/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@femalelongevity⁠Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/femalelongevity⁠ Website: ⁠https://www.kaylabarnes.com/⁠Follow Her Female Protocol: ⁠https://www.protocol.kaylabarnes.com/⁠Become a Member of Kayla's Female Longevity Membership: ⁠https://kayla-barnes-lentz.circle.so/checkout/become-a-member⁠

If you've been staring at ovulation strips, waiting for the “perfect day,” and wondering why pregnancy still isn't happening—you're probably timing sex wrong.The truth is, your fertile window isn't just one day, and ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) or basal body temperature (BBT) charts don't tell the whole story.

Client story alert!

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Lillian (Lilly) Field—entrepreneur, mentor, and founder of WombWise and the Founder Flow Accelerator—about replacing hustle culture with a cyclical, body-aligned approach to work. Lillian breaks down how women entrepreneurs can map strategy and marketing to the four phases of the menstrual cycle: vision during menstruation, planning in follicular, visibility in ovulation, and analysis in luteal. We discuss burnout signals, shifting identity from doer to leader, and practical first steps (cycle tracking, capacity design, and month-over-month optimization). Direct, actionable, and built for creators and founders who want energy, clarity, and results without the grind. About the Guest   Lillian Field is the founder of WombWise and creator of the Founder Flow Accelerator. She helps women build mission-driven businesses aligned with biology, values, and seasonality—drawing from women's health, sustainable business, and systems thinking. She has built companies from a web studio to an agroforestry farm to an AI startup. Key Takeaways: Track your cycle first; data plus daily self-reflection drives better decisions. Menstruation: step back for vision, messaging clarity, and strategic direction. Follicular: convert strategy into a plan—channels, timelines, resources for 1–3 cycles. Ovulation: prioritize visibility—speaking, collaborations, interviews, and content creation. Luteal: close loops; edit, measure, and optimize campaigns before the next cycle. Shift identity from doing everything to leading; remove hats and design capacity. Consistency comes from re-choosing your agreements (e.g., Do Your Best) when hustle patterns return. Burnout is a signal, not a moral failure; align operations with biology to regain energy and creativity.   Connect with the Guest   Website: wombwise.biz Social: Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest — WombWise Collective Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Send us a textTrying to conceive can make sex feel like a job, and no one tells you what that does to your relationship.In this honest, unfiltered episode, I'm talking about one of the most overlooked parts of the fertility journey: The emotional toll of timed sex, ovulation pressure, and how intimacy gets tangled up in stress, grief, and expectations.If you've ever felt like your partner gets to stay relaxed while you're tracking 17 data points and crying in the pantry, you're not alone. If you've ever felt resentment, guilt, frustration, or like you're using each other in the name of trying to conceive, this episode is here to help you feel seen and supported.Inside, I unpack:Why sex often stops feeling like connection and starts feeling like pressureWhat really happens when emotional safety leaves the bedroomWhat I've heard from clients about resentment, shutdowns, and lonelinessHow stress about “getting it right” sabotages more than just the moodWhat you can do to soften the tension and reconnect with your body and each otherA gentle reminder from me: You are not broken because sex feels hard. You're human. You're under a lot of pressure. And you're allowed to want a reset.PS.

If you're dealing with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency or poor egg quality, and you're constantly “doing everything” to address it, this episode dives into how chronic stress, perfectionism, and high-achiever tendencies can silently sabotage fertility from a functional perspective. Do you feel like you're doing all the things, but still not seeing results? We'll explore how the drive to always do more (even with the best intentions) can quietly mess with egg quality, throw off your hormone balance, and overstimulate your nervous system, especially if rest feels like failure. We'll connect the dots between: High-functioning burnout and low progesterone  Overworking and poor ovarian response  Chronic cortisol and mitochondrial damage to eggs  Sleep, blood sugar, gut health and why they matter more than any other supplement You'll also learn: Functional labs to assess nervous system depletion Lifestyle shifts to repair your fertility foundation Why doing less is sometimes the most powerful fertility strategy Whether you're in IVF cycles, preparing for egg retrieval or diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency, this is the mindset shift you didn't know you needed. Tune in and learn how to go from hustle to hormone balance, so your body can finally feel safe to conceive. This episode is for you if: You've experienced failed egg retrievals or embryo transfers and are trying all the protocols, supplements, or strategies you can find. You're working long hours (50+ per week) and struggling to balance career demands with your fertility journey. You feel like your worth is tied to your fertility outcomes or the number of “wins” you achieve, making it hard to slow down or rest, even when you're exhausted. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Hyper Achiever Mindset & Fertility: Impact on Egg Quality & IVF Success [00:02:00] Stress & Hormone Imbalance: Progesterone, Thyroid & Fertility Hormones [00:05:00] Overwork, Cortisol & Inflammation: Effects on Low AMH and Egg Quality [00:07:00] Chronic Stress Impact on Ovulation, Mitochondria & IVF Outcomes [00:09:00] Autoimmune, Sleep Hygiene & Fertility: Stress Effects on AMH & Embryo Health [00:11:00] Nervous System Reset: Stress Relief Techniques to Boost Fertility [00:14:00] Nutrition & Supplements for Egg Quality: CoQ10, Magnesium & Detox [00:16:00] Fertility Mindset & Connection: Rest, Self-Compassion & Pregnancy Success --- RESOURCES

Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

The girlies are going feral across the internet as they reveal during ovulation they get uncontrollably horny. But is it true? Do our hormones control our libidos and cognition or do we have more free will than that? TikTok wellness huns are using pseudoscience to back up their claims, while Twitter feminists take to their feeds to fight back against the dehumanising nature of having our personalities attributed to hormone cycles. In this week's episode, hosts Ione and Gina pick apart the inherent bio-essentialism of ovulation discourse, the alt right's push for focusing on fertility and how these conversations feel like a step back for women.

Ready to own your cycle? Join us for a transformative conversation with Suzie Herrmann from Cycle Sisters Apothecary, where we dive into the world of cycle syncing, herbal remedies, and the impact hormonal imbalances can have on your day (and your life!).In this episode, you'll learn:

What is it that makes Ovulation Healthy? What are the health benefits of being a natural ovulator? The process of ovulation is the main hormonal and endocrine event of our reproductive system. You can thank one of our listeners who wrote into thehormonegenius@gmail.com and asked us if we had done a podcast on this very topic, ovulation as a sign of health! Many times the process of ovulation can be reduced to only the cycle as a procreative power, but really it is so much more. There is an incredible symphony that occurs with all of the hormones of the endocrine system, from our ovarian hormones, thyroid, adrenal and many more, there is an intricate and complex balance that our bodies need to keep with all of these hormones working together. Jamie & Teresa will dive into the basic health benefits of ovulation. We will dive into the benefits of estrogen and progesterone and their unique effects on different organs in our bodies. Things like estrogen and the protection to our heart, our bones, and our brains, even our muscles. The benefits of progesterone to our brains, our bones, our stress response, and inflammation. We will also look at how hormonal birth control works to suppress the natural process of ovulation, which suppresses our own estrogen and progesterone. What are the short and long term effects of shutting down our own hormones? It is apparent that women are starting to wonder, and asking more questions. What do we know and do not know at this point in women's health? Thanks to our HG Sponsor!
