183 | Gut Health, Hormones, and Fertility: What You’re Missing

If you’ve been feeling bloated, exhausted, or like your body just isn’t working the way it should… this episode is going to open your eyes. Today I’m joined by Hannah Aylward, a functional gut health practitioner who helps women get to the root of chronic digestive issues and hormone imbalance. We’re talking about something that doesn’t get enough attention in the fertility space: your gut. Inside this episode, we cover: Why gut health directly impacts your hormones and fertility The most common signs your gut may be struggling How stress and miscarriage trauma affect your body physically Why “it’s just stress” is not the full answer What actually happens in your body when you're in fight-or-flight The connection between cortisol and progesterone This conversation is both practical and deeply validating. If you’ve felt like something is off but haven’t gotten real answers yet, this episode is for you.
