Hi friends! I have a brand new episode live and I’m SO excited for you to listen to my conversation with Monica Cox all about understanding fertility through the lens of cellular health, the role of diet and mindset, and the emotional healing that supports your journey to motherhood.

Here’s what we discuss:

• Why fertility is often a cellular health issue—and what that really means

• The powerful connection between diet, emotional patterns, and fertility outcomes

• How to spot red flags in common fertility advice and choose practices that truly serve you

• The importance of intuition, joy, and radical responsibility in your fertility journey

• Why age is not the final word on your fertility potential

Plus, Monica’s inspiring personal story of loss, resilience, and natural conception after years of infertility.

Monica Cox is the woman midlife professionals call when they’ve blown $50,000+ on fertility treatments that failed them. Monica helps women who’ve “tried everything” finally understand what their body actually needs to get and stay pregnant-without burning themselves out with endless protocols, diets, and treatments.
Monica is raw & honest about fertility struggles that 1 in 6 couples face. She helps professional women finally get pregnant by addressing what conventional medicine misses: the gut-fertility connection, cellular inflammation, and those subconscious blocks nobody’s talking about.
Monica’s refreshing “no BS” approach and methodology transforms fertility from a clinical nightmare into an empowering journey. Women are desperate for alternatives that actually work-and Monica delivers them with the perfect mix of science, soul, and tough love that midlife women are searching for.

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I’m diving into a solo episode that I think so many of you will relate to: fatigue.

We’re talking about why you might feel tired all the time – even when you’re doing everything right – and I’m breaking down some of the hidden reasons behind low energy that often go overlooked.

Here’s what we chat about:

• The surprising ways mineral imbalances can drain your energy (and what to do about it)

• How blood sugar spikes and crashes can sabotage your mood and motivation

• Why “healthy” diets may still be undernourishing your body and creating stress signals

• The connection between gut health and fatigue (it’s way more important than most people realize)

• How your mitochondria—your body’s energy engines—can get bogged down, and how to support them

• My thoughts on testing and tracking to uncover what your body is really trying to tell you

• How to build balanced, energizing meals that fuel your day instead of draining you

• Tips on supporting detoxification to keep your systems humming

• And how lifestyle tweaks (not just supplements!) can make a big difference in your energy, clarity, and mood

and more
