The Ultimate Pregnancy Prep Podcast

Before you start trying to conceive, there's one step most people never think about, but it can completely change how you plan for a healthy pregnancy.
Genetic carrier screening isn't just for people with a known family history. In fact, most carriers are completely healthy and have no idea they carry a genetic condition. So the question becomes: what don't you know and how could that information shape your choices?
In today's episode, I interview genetic counselor Janet Rosenfield, who brings over 40 years of clinical and teaching experience, and Orren Alperstein, founder of Canavan Foundation, whose personal connection to this work adds a powerful, human perspective. Together, we break down what carrier screening actually is, why timing matters, and how this information can shape your fertility journey. 
From real patient stories to the future of genetic testing, this conversation is all about making informed, values-based decisions as you plan to grow your family.

After two back-to-back miscarriages, my client Briony knew something deeper was being missed. On the surface, she was "doing everything right," but underneath were silent unresolved issues like chronic stress, overtraining, and hidden gut infections. 
In today's episode, I interview Briony, who shares how she shifted from chasing answers to truly supporting her body as a whole system, alongside her partner. From making big changes like stepping away from intense routines, addressing a hidden parasite, and even taking a full break from trying to conceive to focus on healing. 
What followed wasn't just another pregnancy, but a completely different experience of feeling safe and supported in her body.  If you've been stuck in cycles of loss or confusion, this conversation will remind you there is another way forward.

In today's episode, I am getting into one of the most requested topics, getting pregnant after 35. And I want to be clear right from the start, this is not a scary episode. This is an empowering one. We're going to talk about what's actually happening in your body as you age; the biology, the statistics, the real reasons conception can feel harder and I'm going to break it all down in a way that makes sense, gives you a roadmap, and honestly, gives you your power back. 
And while there are never any guarantees in this journey, there is so much more within your control than you've been told.
I'll be covering the truth about natural conception rates through your reproductive years, why oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are two of the biggest silent disruptors and the functional testing approach I use with my clients that gets them pregnant. Because when you stop guessing and start getting real answers, everything changes.

What if everything you were told about your fertility, wasn't the full picture? In today's episode, I'm sitting down with my client Brittany, who takes us behind the scenes of a journey that began with a PCOS diagnosis, one that didn't fully reflect what was actually happening in her body. This diagnosis was then followed by a devastating miscarriage and mounting pressure to move forward with IUI. But her story didn't end there.
What unfolded instead will challenge what you think you know about fertility diagnoses and timelines and what can shift when you get access to the right testing and work with someone who looks beyond just medical interventions.
We talk about the moment everything changed, when deeper testing revealed that her hormone levels didn't align with a PCOS diagnosis at all, and instead pointed to an entirely different root cause. We dive into her protocol that followed her comprehensive hormone testing, and the tension she navigated between her impatience to move forward with treatment and learning to trust me, the process and her body along the way.
Not that long ago, Brittany was exactly where you might be right now, searching for answers, weighing her options, and wondering what to do next. But when you trust your gut, find the right practitioner, and continue to surround yourself with success stories like hers, you're getting one step closer to getting and staying pregnant.
