In this episode Dr. Savannah Jones, a queer centered chiropractor and fertility coach in Denver, discusses how chiropractic care can support your fertility. She explains chiropractic practices in a way that they have never been explained it to me before - and let’s just say I’ve been to the chiro 3 times since this episode!  It’s all about the nervous system and creating allowing the information to flow to where it needs to go. Savannah shares her journey in the chiropractic field, a brief history of the chiropractic field (which was fascinating), and the importance of inclusivity in healthcare, especially for queer individuals seeking fertility services. This conversation delves into the complexities of fertility options for queer couples as she has dedicated her practice to providing informed and supportive care for the queer community building their families and beyond, But also for anyone wanting to explore at home IUI which she describes as more cozy and less medicalized. We also talk about known sperm donors and why this might an avenue to explore so that you know what kind of sperm you’re really getting! Free discovery call with Savannah: https://jadewellnessdenver.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/1 IG: https://www.instagram.com/jadewellness.denverWebsite: https://jadewellnessdenver.com/ Keywords: chiropractic, fertility, nervous system, holistic health, queer health, wellness, chiropractic care, fertility coaching, doula, women's health, LGBTQ, fertility, queer couples, IUI, IVF, known donors, pregnancy preparation, healthcare conversations, support, empowermentFringe Fertility is brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Kerry Hinds ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Fertile Body Yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – a virtual holistic wellness hub for those going through fertility.

In this episode I speak with Ashley Rocha, herbalist and founder of Ladywell, a hormonal health supplement brand that gives women the tools to care for their hormones and well-being. Ladywell was created to make hormonal health solutions easily accessible to women and close the knowledge gap around hormonal health. With a culture hyper focused on quick symptom relief, Ladywell aims to treat the root cause and reestablish what it feels like to have a “normal cycle”.Ashley also shares her personal journey with hormonal imbalances, including her struggles with PMDD. The conversation delves into the stigmas surrounding hormonal health, the importance of tracking menstrual cycles, and practical advice on seed cycling and supplements to support hormonal balance. Ashley reminds us to take proactive steps in managing our hormonal health, especially when planning for pregnancy.She has all offered to the listeners a generous 20% off of any supplements use the code: Fringe20TakeawaysHormonal health is crucial for fertility and overall well-being.PMDD is often underdiagnosed and can severely impact women's lives.Birth control can mask underlying hormonal issues that may affect fertility later.Tracking menstrual cycles helps women understand their hormonal fluctuations.Seed cycling can support hormonal balance during different phases of the menstrual cycle.The supplement industry lacks regulation, making it essential to choose quality products.Gut health plays a significant role in hormonal balance and overall health.Stress management is vital for maintaining hormonal health.Men's health is equally important in the fertility equation.Proactive hormonal health management can lead to better fertility outcomes.Where to find Ashley:https://www.getladywell.com  https://www.instagram.com/getladywell/  https://www.tiktok.com/@getladywell  https://www.facebook.com/getladywell/Keywordshormones, fertility, PMDD, birth control, women's health, menstrual cycle, seed cycling, supplements, gut health, hormonal balanceFringe Fertility is brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Kerry Hinds ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Fertile Body Yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – a virtual holistic wellness hub for those going through fertility.

In this conversation, Iris shares her personal fertility journey, discussing the challenges and triumphs of becoming a parent later in life. She emphasizes the importance of community support, navigating relationships during infertility, and the health and lifestyle changes that can impact fertility. The discussion also touches on the emotional aspects of parenting through perimenopause and the significance of setting boundaries with friends and family. Iris encourages listeners to seek support and find their community as they navigate their own fertility journeys.Fringe Fertility is brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Kerry Hinds ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Fertile Body Yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – a virtual holistic wellness hub for those going through fertility.

Food, eating, and nutrition are a huge topic of conversation when it comes to fertility. As it should be! But like most things in the fertility world - we are not meant to try and figure everything out ourselves. You are already overwhelmed with the journey itself, so finding support is so important - no one expects you to also be a nutritionist or dietician! People go to school for this and study for years. So finding practitioners who specialize in fertility becomes very important. And nutrition is a great place to begin. One other thing that I also think is important is that we are able to not feel stressed around food. Something that is so hard when we’re trying to eat healthy for our fertility. Today I talk with Becca Romero the founder of Sprout Fertility, an online fertility nutrition clinic. Becca is a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and a Certified Nutrition Specialist. With a specialized focus on addressing infertility, she offers personalized dietary and lifestyle solutions for women hoping to conceive. Becca is passionate about helping her clients understand how a healthy diet and lifestyle can enhance fertility in addition to empowering women with knowledge on their menstrual cycle for conception. She is driven by the philosophy that optimal preconception nutrition and lifestyle can shape the well-being of generations to come.This is what we covered in the episode:Understanding fertility nutritionThe importance of individualization of diet for fertilityCommon diet related issues affecting fertilityBlood Sugar and infertilityUnexplained infertility and dietThe importance of a holistic care teamGetting your partner on board and how the change in sperm count reflects an overall trend in male reproductive healthGet a free consultation with Becca: https://my.practicebetter.io/#/622be4c0df28dd39964f940c/bookings?s=622c04e2df28dd3996500bb9&step=dateHow to find Becca:www.sproutfertility.coIG: @sproutfertility Podcast: Fertility Stories Podcast on Apple and Spotify Fringe Fertility is brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Kerry Hinds ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Fertile Body Yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – a virtual holistic wellness hub for those going through fertility.

The conversation you’re about to hear is a really special one. If you've ever felt a little lost when trying to make heads or tails of all the holistic and traditional practices that are supportive to fertility, then I think you will find this conversation illuminating. Today I speak with Michelle Oravitz. Michelle brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective to the fertility conversation, especially around holistic support and tradition systems of health and balance. And I love her ethos, which greatly aligns with mine and what Fringe Fertility is ALL about. Support outside of the doctor's office.Michelle Oravitz is an acupuncturist, specializing in Fertility Health. She found her love in Chinese medicine after it helped her through her own menstrual cycle challenges.Michelle has been on a mission to help women get pregnant (naturally and IVF preparation) through her one on one work at her acupuncture clinic as well as online. She recently authored a new book, The Way of Fertility, which dives deep into the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom. Michelle believes that our bodies are hardwired to procreate and by connecting to our inherent wisdom, we can awaken our natural reproductive vitality.Here's what we talked about:From Architecture, to Ayurveda, to Acupuncture - Michelle’s personal storyThe role of Acupuncture in FertilityIntegrating hypnosis and acupunctureThe Way of Fertility - book insightsI think you will enjoy this episode as much as I loved sitting down with Michelle and talking about all the things we both love!On Fertile Ground: All Inclusive Fertility Retreat, April 24-27 2025 - Hillsborough New Hampshire @ Bethel FarmFringe Fertility is brought to you by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Kerry Hinds ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Fertile Body Yoga⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ – a virtual holistic wellness hub for those going through fertility.

Often our first stop on the fertility train is western medicine and the IVF clinic. When getting pregnant takes longer than we thought, or we know of a certain condition that will make pregnancy a little more difficult - we are looking for answers. I believe that support in the clinic and outside of the clinic with mind/body practices can be extremely complimentary.So  then, what do reproductive endocrinologists think about more holistic methods of support for the fertility journey. Well - you’re going to find out in this episode!I speak with the amazing Dr. Alison Zimon of CCRM New England. We get her professional opinion of mind/body practices and why she encourages her patients to find support outside of her doctor’s office.Dr. Alison Zimon is the Co-Founder and Co-Medical Director of CCRM Boston. She is Board Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility and in Obstetrics and Gynecology.In addition to her role at CCRM Boston, Dr. Zimon is a Clinical Instructor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology at Harvard Medical School and is a Staff Physician in OB/GYN at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Newton Wellesley Hospital.She received her undergraduate degree from Harvard University and her medical degree from Yale University School of Medicine.

Ayurveda is a practice, tradition, and discipline that is often shrouded in mystery. I think this episode will shed some light on what Ayurveda is and how it can be helpful for your fertility.I talk with my friend Bethany who has a story to tell!Bethany Gadbois has been on a self-healing journey since 2016. Enduring hardships and overcoming the impossible have brought her to where she is today. Being no stranger to loss since a young age, the fertility journey was loss in a different way. Following her heart by resigning corporate America in 2021, allowed more space in her life for the things that were meant to be to fall into place. She had her 2nd baby boy in 2022, opened a unique yoga studio in 2023, and just had her surprise 3rd baby boy. She owns Historic Yoga in Sturbridge Massachusetts.This conversation is centered around Ayurveda and how it supported her in having her second and third children. Here’s what we covered:What is Ayurveda?Bethany’s Fertility StoryAyurveda’s impact on fertilityAyurveda for Postpartum and pregnancy how How the story unfolds on it’s own course and finding trustIf you get inspired by this podcast to explore Ayurveda - I’m here for you and here for it!The upcoming retreat in New Hampshire end of April 2025, will have Ayurveda woven throughout the weekend.

This conversation is so valuable. It provides a blueprint to gently guide you through your fertility experiences and where your are vibrating at full force and where you could raise that vibration. It truly is a beautifully soft way to approach the whole mind, body, and spirit in the fertility journey.

As someone who has supported thousands of people going through IVF, a common conversation that I have is about injections. From not knowing how to do them, if they were measuring the right dosage, or why progesterone in oil hurts so much. My guest today takes the guess work out of injections in a variety of ways! Leyla Bilali is the Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer at Dandi. Leyla’s unique perspective as both a fertility expert and IVF patient provide her great insight into the type of care that fertility patients so desperately need. With more than a decade of nursing experience, Leyla started her career as a pediatric nurse before pivoting to the field of reproductive endocrinology. She honed her skills at one of NYC’s top fertility clinics, where she helped thousands of patients. Leyla quickly realized her calling as “The Fertility Fairy Godmother,” and founded her own fertility consulting service, Fertility Together, to provide patients personalized, compassionate care throughout their IVF journey, supporting patients in all the critical moments outside of the clinic. Here is what we covered: Leyla’s journey from fertility nurse to fertility patient The importance of fertility nurses during IVF The gaps in IVF care All about injections and what patients need to feel confident with administering them Progesterone In Oil shots and why the hurt so damn much The IVF Care Kit at Dandi Fertility How Layla got the name The Fertility Fairy Godmother I learned so much in the episode and I think you will too!

Welcome to Season 3! Starting off 2025 with one of my newer frameworks of fertility. Minimalist Fertility takes the concepts of minimalism and applies them to fertility. Why embrace a minimalist fertility perspective? With the noise of fertility, fertility treatments, and fertility boosting practices, we are overwhelmed with information, but underwhelmed with direction. Which is the best choice, what action should I take, what works best for me, my body, my life? Minimalist Fertility turns down the noise and turns up living your life to it's fullest while trying to conceive! What are the core values that you want to take with you on your fertility journey? Remember your value and make your decision based on how to maintain this the best - consciously and purposefully. Declutter your possessions, thoughts, Reduce commitments Emphasize experience over possessions These are the types of conversations that we have in the 40 Days to Fertile Freedom Program - Next Program starts Jan 22nd, 2025 - Early bird ends Jan 10th!

I love a good meditation - and this is one of my favorites - it's not necessarily a fertility meditation, but it is a good one for those who are trying to conceive. During the holidays - its important that we take care of ourselves, give our bodies the opportunity to rest, and our minds a moment to pause. This meditation leads through making a protective layer around yourself that you can use before heading in the parties and family gatherings. Sometimes the way we walk into a situation will determine our experiences as positive or negative. IF you go in thinking it's going to be a horrible evening, chances are, it will be. If you're looking for some more great ideas and practices for the holidays - here is a link to an earlier podcast episode - Navigating the Holidays that I did with Elena Clamen, LMHC and Expressive Art Therapist!

We hear a lot about nervous system regulation and managing stress when we are TTC and navigating our fertility journey. And although we seem to be very familiar with these concepts - understanding them and practicing them is definitely nuanced and not so straightforward.  So today you are going to get an amazing explanation of the nervous system and what trauma ACTUALLY is and how it shows up in your body and why we should be aware that we all have trauma. And the fertility journey can add to this. When we think about the fertility journey, so much happens that is considered - well  traumatic. Sometimes trauma with a capital T and sometimes years of relatively minor experiences that can accumulate trauma and sneak in without you even know it.   I’m so glad I have my guest to navigate this with you. Today my guest is the most fabulous Jessica Carlin. She is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner ™, movement educator and Registered Massage Therapist. With over 20 years of experience, her practice is coherence based and client centered, combining evidence with intuition. Jessica works with layers of embodied anatomy, discovering the stuck patterns in tissues and systems of the body and supporting the renegotiation of these patterns to help find physiological coherence, health and nervous system resilience.  Ever curious about nature, movement and healing, Jessica  also has a deep love of nature, dance and adventuring with her dog. Here is what we talk about during this episode: Understanding trauma The weight of the word ‘trauma’ Somatic Approaches to trauma renegotiation The misconceptions of nervous system regulation Co-regulation and group dynamics in fertility Listening to the body in healing Understanding self-protective responses The impact of trauma on the nervous system Navigating hyper and hypo vigilance in fertility Finding balance and flexibility in the nervous system I hope you find this conversation to be enlightening and motivating to start look at reconciling some of the trauma that your body is holding and can release in a gentle and effective manner.

During the fertility journey there are a lot things that happen that would definitely fall into the shitty category. And often we are left with our own devices to figure out how to deal with them, move through them, and heal. This episode I resurrect an old blog post that I originally wrote about fertility and overcoming some of the challenges we meet with yoga, and then when I published it, it was right after Roe V Wade was overturned. And now after an election that puts the reproductive and rights and freedom in jeopardy for so many people, I thought it about time I spoke about this. From the yogic lens we ask these questions: 1. What am I consuming? 2. Am I using discernment? 3. Which direction is my energy flowing? 4. Am I in the flow of nature? I also dive a little bit into the physical body how we can use movement to help process mental and emotional energy.
