In this episode, Liv sits down with Jeanelle Martinez Rezai, a former midwife and nurse turned fertility coach, to explore her journey from over a decade in clinical birth work to helping women and couples optimize their fertility through a holistic, root-cause approach. Jeanelle shares how years of supporting women through pregnancy and birth inspired her to focus on preconception health, empowering individuals to better understand their bodies and overall well-being.Together, they discuss the foundations of optimal health, the importance of addressing underlying causes rather than symptoms, and the role of lifestyle, mindset, and personalized care in supporting fertility and reproductive health. Jeanelle also reflects on navigating career transitions, overcoming self-doubt, and building a business aligned with her values. The conversation explores the balance between science and intuition, the impact of community and support systems, and the power of taking a whole-person approach to healing, growth, and transformation.EPISODE TAKEAWAYSFollowing your curiosity and passion can open doors to meaningful opportunities and unexpected pathsLife and career transitions often bring uncertainty, loss, and growth, shaping us in ways we may not anticipateLong-term well-being is supported by simple, foundational habitsLooking beyond symptoms to understand underlying causes can create more sustainable and transformative resultsBoth research and intuition can offer valuable guidance when making decisions and navigating changeIndividualized approaches tend to be more effective than relying on universal solutions or rigid formulasProgress is rarely a straight line and often requires persistence, adaptability, and a willingness to keep learningFertility and reproductive health are influenced by overall vitality, lifestyle habits, and the health of both partnersCONNECT WITH JEANELLEJeanelle Martinez Rezai is a Board-Certified Nurse Midwife and Certified Functional and Integrative Medicine Practitioner, daughter of Guam and Saipan with over a decade of clinical experience in women's health. After years of watching women get dismissed by the conventional fertility system, she built Womb Health FM — a virtual fertility coaching practice designed to give women everywhere access to the kind of care she believes every woman deserves: clinically grounded, deeply personal, and rooted in the belief that transformative fertility care can happen naturally. Now she helps women get pregnant and stay pregnant by restoring the foundations of lifestyle, nutrition, herbs, supplements, and advanced functional approaches that most fertility clinics won't even mention. Her philosophy isn't about forcing the body — it's about teaching women to understand what their body is already communicating and giving it the space to heal. She blends her clinical background with yoga, herbalism, mentorship from fertility experts and Naturopathy Doctors, and her proprietary Womb Awakening program. She's not choosing between science and intuition — she's using both. Equal parts clinical authority and compassionate guide, Jeanelle is proof that the most powerful fertility interventions don't always come from a prescription pad.Learn more about Jeanelle and her offerings: Https://www.wombhealthfm.comLearn why her approach works differently than IVF: Https://Www.wombhealthfm.com/approachGet the free 2-part Guide that will transform your fertility in 4 weeks!: https://wombhealthfm.com/awaken-your-wombInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wombhealthfm CONNECT WITH INA WELLNESS COLLECTIVEWebsite: https://www.inawellnesscollective.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inawellnesscollectiveWATCH FULL EPISODES ON YOUTUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/@inawellnessWAYS TO WORK TOGETHERWell Within Membershiphttps://www.inawellnesscollective.com/wellwithinRise & Align Group Programhttps://www.inawellnesscollective.com/riseandalign
