If you’re trying to get pregnant and you’ve been wondering, “What am I missing?”, you may be looking at fertility too narrowly. Over the years of helping women understand and chart their fertility, I kept hearing the same things: constipation, bloating, hair shedding, difficulty losing weight, skin changes, insulin resistance, and PCOS. These symptoms weren’t always why women came to me, but they kept showing up alongside their fertility questions.
In this episode, I share the three gut health clues I kept seeing in women trying to get pregnant, and why they made me start asking different questions about fertility and whole-body health. I also share what happened when my own health forced me to look more closely at the connection between hormonal, metabolic, and gut health.
We’ll keep it simple with three practical rules: FEED your microbiome, MOVE your body and support healthy digestion, and PROTECT your gut and overall health.
Most importantly, this episode is about learning to think differently about fertility. Your symptoms don't automatically tell us the cause, but they can give us questions worth asking. If you want to get pregnant without simply jumping from one fertility solution to another, the first step may be understanding more about what your body is telling you.
