Your body is wise—long before fertility issues show up on standard bloodwork, it’s whispering to you. The problem is… traditional medicine isn’t trained to hear it. In this powerful and deeply educational podcast episode, I’m sharing the 7 hidden signs your fertility is declining—and exactly how to reverse them using natural, evidence-based strategies.

As a fertility specialist with nearly two decades of experience, I’ve helped hundreds of women uncover the real reasons they weren’t conceiving—issues missed by conventional tests. From hormonal imbalance to metabolic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and environmental toxicity, your body is often in survival mode, not baby mode.

👀 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How stress silently shuts down your reproductive hormones
• What body safety means and how it controls ovulation
• Key nutritional strategies for blood sugar and egg quality
• Why you should rethink blue light, morning routines, and sleep hygiene
• The gut-hormone connection and how to test for hidden food sensitivities
• Top herbs and adaptogens to balance cortisol and improve fertility
• Functional lab testing options that go far beyond your OB/GYN’s checklist
• Red flag symptoms that signal it’s time to see a specialist ASAP
• A real-life story of a woman who conceived naturally at 41 using this exact framework

You don’t need to wait for a diagnosis. You don’t need to feel powerless. These small changes—supporting your detox pathways, eating smarter, regulating stress, and creating a healing sleep rhythm—can transform your fertility from the inside out.

I'm absolutely thrilled to have an incredible guest with me today - Dr. Leah Gordon, who is going to share her expertise on a topic many of you have been asking about.

Dr. Leah is a licensed naturopathic and functional medicine doctor who specializes in supporting women on their journey toward motherhood. Through her online platform, Womanhood Wellness™, she provides incredible guidance for women at every stage - whether you're breaking up with birth control, balancing hormones, preparing for pregnancy, trying to conceive naturally, or navigating infertility.

What makes Dr. Leah's perspective so valuable is that she combines her extensive medical knowledge with her own personal journey. She experienced hormonal struggles and went through a challenging 6-year journey with male-factor infertility that ultimately led to IVF. So she truly understands this path both professionally and personally.

Beyond her clinical work, she's also a founding formulator at Needed™, co-hosts the podcast Healthy As A Mother™, creates courses, and speaks regularly on women's health topics.

➡️ What you'll learn in this episode:

• Overview of the lack of integrative and natural medicine support along with assisted reproduction (IUI, IVF)
• Importance of optimizing sperm regardless of doing IUI or IVF (contrary to what the industry says)
• In IVF, there are three phases of natural support: Before egg retrieval, healing after egg retrieval, and preparing before embryo transfer
• My recommended gap of time after egg retrieval before transfer, and why I recommend FET whenever possible
• The importance of fertility energetics, especially during IUI and IVF, and how to bring that in

We'll cover why optimizing sperm health matters tremendously (despite what many clinics might tell you), the three critical phases for natural support during IVF, the optimal timing between egg retrieval and transfer, and the often overlooked but powerful role of fertility energetics during these procedures.

I know this conversation will be incredibly valuable, whether you're currently going through fertility treatments or considering them in the future.

Told it’s impossible? Let’s change that.

In this episode, I break down what your AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) levels really mean for your fertility — and why a low AMH is not the final word on your chances of getting pregnant.

➡️ What you'll learn in this episode:

✅ What AMH actually measures (and what it doesn’t)

✅ The surprising role of AMH as a “dam” in your ovarian function

✅ Why are many women being misled by this one number

✅ The difference between egg quantity vs. quality

✅ Natural, research-backed strategies to support your fertility — even with low AMH

💡 If you’ve been told your AMH is too low or that IVF is your only option, this episode is for you.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• AMH is not a fertility death sentence.
• Many doctors misinterpret AMH as a stand-alone marker.
• Egg quality and holistic health matter just as much — sometimes more.
• There are proactive, science-backed steps you can take.

16:20 - Evidence-based strategies for low AMH (e.g., CoQ10)

19:05 - When low AMH doesn’t mean diminished fertility

21:00 - My personal message to anyone who’s been told they’re “too late”
