You've been told your labs are “normal,” but your period is MIA, ovulation’s a no-show, and pregnancy is STILL not happening. In today’s episode, we’re busting the myth that normal labs = everything is fine. If your body is showing clear signs that something’s off, you need more than a copy-paste lab report—you need real answers, and a plan that honors YOUR body’s needs. We’re breaking down the most important labs for period loss and fertility (like FSH, LH, Estradiol, AMH, and more), what they actually mean, and why “low-normal” isn’t the green light it seems. If you’re being gaslit with the phrase “everything looks fine,” this episode is exactly what you need to listen to.

This week on the podcast, I sat down with gut health dietitian Megan from Grounded Nourishment to unpack this wildly overlooked connection between your nervous system, digestion, and hormones. Because if you’re on the path to period recovery or trying to get pregnant naturally—healing your gut and regulating your stress response isn’t optional. It’s essential. Here’s what we got into:

If you're trying to conceive but your period is missing, I want you to know: you're not broken, and you're not alone.

We're diving into a topic that's often overlooked but crucial for fertility: low estrogen. Estrogen isn't just about mood swings or hot flashes; it's a key player in your reproductive health. Usually, we focus on what to do if it’s elevated—“estrogen dominance”. But what do you do if your estrogen is low, and how do you know if it’s low? In today's episode, we'll explore three signs, without lab testing, that might indicate your estrogen levels are lower than optimal—and what you can do about it.

Today we’re talking about what your past with restriction, dieting, or an eating disorder has to do with your fertility right now — and what to actually do about it.
