She is passionate about helping young girls and women overcome an unhealthy relationship with food after spending years of her own life stuck in the mental prison that is disordered eating. Her education in the field began in her undergraduate years at Vanderbilt University, where she studied eating psychology and nutrition. During that time, she was also certified in the National Eating Disorder Awareness foundation's Body Project certification program to support women's relationships with their bodies.Her interests progressed into physique and performance evidence-based training and nutrition while maintaining a positive relationship with food and one's body (certifications through NASM). Her coaching centers on getting women out of the rut of under-fueling and over-training, out of the yo-yo cycle, and out of the mystery of how to fuel one's body (blocking out all the noise out there!) while building a positive outlook towards nutrition.Sophie also supports her clients who are interested in gut and hormone health. Her interest in this field started from her own experience with IBS, acne, and painful/irregular periods that she wanted to support holistically. Her approach to hormonal support and gut health focuses heavily on evidence-based lifestyle and nutrition approaches rather than excessive supplementation and overly restrictive methods. Some conditions Sophie works with include: IBS, IBD, bloating/indigestion, dysmenorrhea, PCOS, PMS, low thyroid, and chronic stress/fatigue. Please note, Sophie is not a medical professional and provides holistic support for these conditions within her scope of practice; please consult a medical professional for these conditions first.Outside of coaching, Sophie is an animal-lover and enjoys spending her free time riding her horse and hiking with her pup.

Did you know our metabolic and hormonal systems are deeply connected?  So many women who experience hormone imbalances, mood swings, or fertility struggles  think it's just something they have to deal with as "part of being a woman". In this groundbreaking conversation, I sit down with Dr. Piraye Yurttas Beim, PhD scientist and women's health innovator, to unpack the science behind ovarian health, menopause myths, and the things we can do to take control over our bodies. We dive into the shocking truth about how ovaries are not just about fertility—but act as a command center for nearly every system in the body. Dr. Piraye explains why modern women are outliving their ovaries and what that means for our health, energy, and aging. From sleep to stress to blood sugar, she shares how to understand your body's hormone signals and take back control. She also breaks down how PCOS and perimenopause share metabolic roots, why glucose management is a hormone health superpower, and how hot flashes might be your brain's way of signaling distress. You'll hear how she personally used a continuous glucose monitor to stop her hot flashes—and the surprising ways GLP-1s (like Ozempic) are restoring ovulation in women who were told they'd never conceive naturally. If you've been told “this is just what happens as you age,” or have ever felt dismissed by doctors while navigating period pain, fertility challenges, or menopause symptoms, this episode will empower you with science, tools, and hope. You'll also hear: Why your ovaries affect your brain, bones, metabolism, and immune system How GLP-1s are shifting the fertility and PCOS landscape What environmental toxins are doing to your hormones How sleep and melatonin directly impact ovarian function Why temperature tracking is the most underrated health tool for women Whether you're navigating PCOS, planning to freeze your eggs, or just want to feel better in your 30s and 40s, this episode is a must-listen. It's time we stop normalizing hormone suffering—and start listening to the signals our bodies are sending.

Intro: Hello, and welcome to episode 178 of the Childless Not by Choice Podcast. My name is Civilla Morgan. My mission is to recognize and speak to childless women and men worldwide, reminding us that we can live joyful, relevant, and fulfilled lives.  And whether you have children or not, thank you for tuning in!     What is today's show about? Ectopic Pregnancies     I have not forgotten that this podcast is about childlessness. Indeed, being childless not by choice. And we all know there are many reasons for childlessness, including medical issues such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, miscarriage, PCOS, and so many other physical and physiological issues.  Trauma, both physical and emotional, can be a cause. Being born without a uterus, which I have discussed on this podcast before. I will put a link to that interview in the show notes for this episode. And then just the unknown, also known as idiopathic infertility.    I want to talk about ectopic pregnancy because I have never discussed it. But let's step back a little. Let's talk about the uterus. And I realize I am speaking to the choir here. I think most of you know what a uterus is and what it does. So let me say this in one or two sentences: The uterus is where a baby grows once the sperm fertilizes the egg. So if the egg, sperm, and fertilization end up anywhere outside of the uterus, the pregnancy will not thrive. In fact, the pregnancy will not go to term. And most times that ending up outside the uterus means the components I just mentioned: the sperm and egg, end up in the fallopian tubes. It's like driving down a highway, the fallopian tubes. You are supposed to end up at a destination, the uterus, but you get stuck on the highway instead. And sometimes getting stuck on the highway can cause irreparable damage. Meaning the possibility of no future natural pregnancies.  Although we have two fallopian tubes, so if one is affected by an ectopic pregnancy, if the other one is healthy, a viable pregnancy is possible.   The risk of an ectopic pregnancy is 1-2%.  It sounds like a small percentage, but a percentage is a percentage, isn't it? It's small until it happens to you.     And human physiology is not something that can be contested. In other words, there is no way to have a baby successfully grow outside of the womb, the uterus. And again, I know I don't need to say this, but I am not referring to other types of creating pregnancy, like the gift of a successful IVF. I am talking about how a pregnancy starts biologically, and the only way it can continue.   So, ectopic pregnancies.  ‘An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube.'--AI.  Ectopic pregnancies are often caused by damaged fallopian tubes, which prevent a fertilized egg from reaching the uterus, leading it to implant and grow elsewhere.  Risk factors for tubal damage and subsequent ectopic pregnancies include  pelvic inflammatory disease (PID),  endometriosis,  Previous abdominal pelvic surgery  Smoking.  Other risk factors include conception while using an intrauterine device (IUD)  After a tubal ligation (sterilization), Ongoing fertility treatments.   Age: Being older than age 35 can also be a risk factor.    I want to stop here and note that an ectopic pregnancy can be very dangerous. It is suggested that if you believe or have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, you should see your physician immediately.  Symptoms:  Vaginal bleeding or spotting Abdominal pain, often one-sided Shoulder pain Nausea and vomiting Dizziness or fainting    Now, the good news in all of this is that the chances of a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy are good, ranging from 65 to 85%, especially as time goes on. Meaning if you get pregnant again in 18 months, a successful pregnancy is 65% likely. In two years, it is 85% likely.    I will say again, if we have arrived at the fact that we will not be having children. Maybe we have already had the hysterectomy. Maybe we have stopped IVF. We have just come to terms and decided to move on with our lives as childless not by choice people. That's what this podcast was created to address. But I also believe it is important to know more than our own journey. And that if we ever want to discuss more than our own journey, we are in the know. We can intelligently discuss as much or as little as we would like.  Knowledge allows us to have the ball in our court.    Maybe you have a family member or friend who is or has suffered from an ectopic pregnancy. Maybe you have, and then the pregnancy never happened for you. Either way, this is a slice of knowledge.  And I hope it was helpful.   As I close out this episode, I want to remind you that we are approaching our final episodes.  It is a bittersweet feeling, as I have said before. But I know I am doing the right thing. I am feeling a shift and I need to go along with that shift. I will keep the Facebook group open, I will keep the website up and running. And in fact, I may now find time to refresh the website. www.childlessnotbychoice.net.   Usually I go on hiatus for October and November.

Jasmine's experience reflects the pressure many women feel to constantly push harder, dieting, overtraining, and trying to force their bodies into submission, only to feel like they're getting nowhere. If you've ever felt like your efforts weren't enough or your body was working against you, this episode offers a powerful shift in perspective and practical encouragement.When Your Body Says "Enough": The Turning PointAt just 26, Jasmine felt completely burned out. Her periods had stopped, her energy was gone, and her hair was thinning. Despite years of eating “good” and intense workouts, her body felt like it was shutting down. Lab results revealed exactly that, low estrogen and progesterone, nutrient deficiencies, and sky-high stress hormones. But instead of labeling her body as broken, Jasmine began to understand that her symptoms were signals. Her body wasn't failing, it was crying out for help. Rebuilding from the Inside Out: Food, Movement, and MindsetIn this episode, you'll discover what Jasmine did differently that finally helped her make lasting progress. How she stopped eliminating things from her diet and began nourishing her body instead. How her exercise routine shifted from punishment to partnership with her body. Along the way, she dismantled the shame and perfectionism that had fueled her yo-yo cycles for years. She didn't do it perfectly, but she kept showing up for herself in a new, more supportive way.The Power of Listening to Your BodyOne of the most inspiring parts of Jasmine's story is how her emotional transformation mirrored her physical healing. As her cycle returned, her energy lifted, and her hair thickened, she also began to feel like herself again—confident, calm, and empowered. She stopped measuring her worth by her weight or workouts and started tuning in to what actually made her feel strong, alive, and aligned with her body. That's the magic of healing from PCOS, not just fixing symptoms, but building a relationship with your body that's rooted in trust and care.If you've been stuck in patterns of restriction, shame, or frustration, this episode is your reminder that you are not broken. You don't need to try harder, instead listen, support, and nourish. Jasmine's story shows what's possible when you stop fighting your body and begin to work with it. Healing may not be fast, but it is possible, and it starts with intention, not perfection. You'll walk away from this episode with a renewed sense of hope and clarity for your own PCOS journey.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereLet's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-166

We also talk about the real behind-the-scenes of building a brand, choosing collaboration over competition, and redefining what success looks like after grief.Lateshia reminds us that manifestation is more than vision boards.

She earned her medical degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Hughes's clinical and academic interests include reproductive ethics, PCOS, and ovarian aging.  Dr. Widra currently serves as Executive Senior Medical officer and Vice President, Development for Shady Grove Fertility and US Fertility, respectively.  He was formerly Chief Medical Officer of SG Fertility, and Associate Director of the Combined Federal Fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, operated through the NIH, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and SG Fertility.

In Episode 61, we learned that blood sugar dysregulation is a compounding factor at the root of nearly every metabolic disease or condition. While the science behind that statement can get complicated, balancing blood sugar doesn't have to be. In this “Quick Tips” episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Ashley Lawrence, NTP—your “Blood Sugar Bestie”— returns to share her top five blood sugar tips you can start using today. Ashley is the founder of Magic and Wellness and a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner passionate about helping women finally crack the code on their energy, mood, and hormones by addressing blood sugar first. Her approach blends science, strategy, and sparkle—making healthy habits not only doable but actually fun. In this episode: Protein-rich, savory breakfasts that stabilize energy, reduce cravings, and stop the 2:30 slump Why you should avoid eating naked carbs—and how to pair carbs with protein, fat, or fiber for steady glucose Simple movement after meals like squats and pushups during bathroom breaks or 15-minute power walks after meals How stress and poor sleep drive insulin resistance, plus practical hacks to calm cortisol and get better rest Why front-loading carbs earlier in the day improves sleep, energy, and overall metabolic health They also get real about practical swaps—like leftovers for breakfast, smarter chip and chocolate choices, and even adding butter or flax to balance out carbs. Remember, it's not about perfection; it's about small, consistent upgrades that add up to lasting freedom. If you've ever wondered how to fix fatigue, cravings, mood swings, or PCOS symptoms at their root, these simple steps are where to start for practical, real-life strategies to balance your blood sugar without the overwhelm.
