Episode 232: Trying to Conceive? Don’t Miss These Fertility Red Flags
If you’re preparing for pregnancy or already in the thick of trying and stuck in the dreaded two-week wait, this episode is for you. Fertility is so much more than timing ovulation. Your cycle, hormones, minerals, thyroid, and even your nervous system all provide powerful clues about your readiness to conceive.
In this episode I’m sharing:
The fertility checklist I use with clients to spot red flags before pregnancy struggles begin
Why your luteal phase length (12–14 days) matters and what spotting really says about progesterone and endometriosis
How to use cervical mucus as a fertility marker, and why it’s not “TMI” but essential data.
What birth control depletes in your body and how to replenish nutrient stores before conceiving
The labs I recommend most often, and what they reveal about hidden imbalances
Why nervous system regulation is a non-negotiable piece of fertility prep, and how stress signals your body it’s not safe to conceive.
The role of minerals like copper in implantation and how adrenal health supports the whole process
Real client success stories that show how small shifts, from replenishing minerals to releasing perfectionism, can transform cycles
Remember: fertility is not just about “waiting to see if it happens.” This episode will give you a practical, empowering roadmap to optimize your health now, so your body feels safe, nourished, and ready for pregnancy.
