I couldn’t be more excited to join Jennifer Edmonds on her Your Journey to Fertility podcast to tackle one of the most frustrating myths in fertility: “unexplained infertility.”
Let’s get real—there’s no such thing as “unexplained.” If you’ve been told this before, it just means no one has found the root cause yet. And that’s exactly what we dive into in this episode!
💡 Here’s what I cover:
- Why “unexplained infertility” is often a misleading diagnosis and what could really be going on
- The surprising ways stress and survival mode impact fertility (it’s more than you think)
- How age factors into fertility—and why it’s not the whole story
- The overlooked tests that can provide life-changing answers
- Why male fertility is just as important—and how to address it
- Actionable steps to empower your fertility journey
✨ Why this episode matters:
Every couple deserves answers—and a clear, personalized path forward. Whether you’re exploring IVF, trying naturally, or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this episode is your guide to finding hope, clarity, and solutions that work.

Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade - three awesome leaders in fertility & women’s health Today, we’ll explore how nutrient-rich foods can support your body and fertility naturally. In this video, you’ll learn: 🌿 The Power of Leafy Greens Foods like spinach, kale, and arugula are packed with folate and iron, crucial for egg development, ovulation, and preventing neural tube defects in early pregnancy. Learn how to include them in salads, smoothies, or stir-fries to meet your daily nutrient needs. 🐟 Why Fatty Fish is a Fertility Superstar Salmon, sardines, and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce inflammation, improve blood flow to the ovaries, and support hormone balance. I’ll also share plant-based alternatives like flaxseeds and chia seeds for vegans. 🥑 Avocados: The Fertility Superfood Loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados support hormone production and help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K—essential for reproductive health. I’ll share delicious ways to enjoy them, from smoothies to avocado toast. 🥚 The Role of Eggs and Choline Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and choline, a nutrient critical for egg health, hormone production, and early fetal development. If you’re sensitive to eggs, I’ll explain how to supplement choline for optimal fertility. 🍓 Antioxidant-Rich Berries Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are packed with antioxidants that protect eggs from oxidative stress. They’re also high in vitamin C, which supports healthy ovulation and progesterone production. Learn how to enjoy berries as snacks, in smoothies, or paired with plant-based yogurt. 🥜 Nuts, Seeds, and Essential Minerals Raw almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and Brazil nuts are fertility powerhouses. They’re rich in zinc and selenium, which support hormone production and protect eggs from oxidative damage. I’ll explain why raw, unprocessed nuts are the best option and how they benefit both women and men. 🥣 The Importance of Whole Grains Whole grains like quinoa, oats, and brown rice are rich in fiber and B vitamins, which help balance hormones, regulate blood sugar, and support ovulation. I’ll share tips for swapping out refined grains for these healthier options. 🥗 Fermented Foods for Gut and Hormone Health Fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and plant-based yogurt are excellent for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. A balanced microbiome supports hormone regulation, nutrient absorption, and even reproductive microbiome health, which is critical for pregnancy and IVF success. Why This Matters: Your fertility journey is unique, and nutrition is one of the most powerful tools to optimize your reproductive health. By focusing on these fertility-friendly foods, you’re giving your body the support it needs for healthier ovulation, egg quality, and hormone balance.
