Tracy was doing "everything right"—the books, the diets, the lifestyle shifts—but after coming off birth control, her health hit a tailspin. With 60-day cycles and a system in "Lockdown Mode," she was told she might need IVF. Today, we’re architecting her journey from metabolic exhaustion to a natural pregnancy.Episode SummaryWhen Tracy stopped hormonal birth control and spironolactone, her body didn't just "reset"—it hit the emergency brakes.
