Fertility, Menopause, and the Missing Conversation in Women’s Health with Kristin Hauser

What if everything you've been told about your cycle, your fertility, and your body's timeline was only half the story?Women’s health is filled with cultural narratives that many of us never question: fertility timelines, pushing through hormonal symptoms, bouncing back postpartum, or dreading menopause.In this episode, Samantha sits down with acupuncturist and herbalist Kristin Hauser to explore a radically different perspective on women’s health rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, somatic awareness, and holistic fertility care.Kristin shares why fertility support shouldn’t begin after months or years of trying, how nervous system health and nourishment impact hormones, and why reconnecting with the wisdom of the womb can transform the way women move through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause.We also talk about the deeper emotional and spiritual themes that arise through motherhood — including surrender, capacity, and learning to trust the body’s intelligence.If you’re navigating fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, or simply want to understand your cycle and hormones on a deeper level, this conversation will open your perspective.In this episode:Why waiting until you're ready to conceive to learn about your fertility might be the biggest gap in women's healthWhy burning yourself out might be the reason your hormones are offHow cultural narratives around fertility, birth, and menopause shape women’s experiencesWhy reconnecting with the body and pelvic space can deepen intuition and wellbeingHow motherhood and fertility journeys often invite surrender, growth, and expanded capacityAbout Kristin Hauser:Kristin Hauser is an acupuncturist, herbalist, and founder of Womb Medicine.
