Unexplained Infertility & SIBO: How Gut Health Impacts IVF, Hormones, and Pregnancy Success

from Egg Meets Sperm

Did you know your gut health could be the missing link in your fertility journey? 💡 If you’ve been struggling with unexplained infertility, repeated IVF failures, hormone imbalances, or pregnancy loss, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) may be playing a bigger role than you think.In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Jen Yundt Coles, a gut health strategist and SIBO expert who works with high-performing women to uncover the overlooked connection between digestive health, hormones, and reproductive health. You’ll learn how gut imbalances influence egg and sperm quality, implantation, hormone regulation, and even your body’s ability to carry a pregnancy full-term.Jen has always been a high-achiever and entrepreneurial go-getter, and over the years, discovered that creativity, boundaries, and speaking her truth were the real keys to overcoming decades of health challenges. Her outside-the-box thinking even helped her get pregnant 20 years ago.✨ Here’s what you’ll discover:✅ What is SIBO? (and why most fertility doctors don’t test for it)✅ Early warning signs you may be ignoring: bloating, skin conditions, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and irregular bowel movements✅ Gut-hormone connection: how estrogen, progesterone, and the microbiome interact to support (or sabotage) fertility✅ Fertility testing & gut testing explained: lactulose breath tests, stool testing, and uncovering hidden bacterial strains like Klebsiella, E. coli, and Clostridium✅ Root causes of SIBO: chronic stress, antibiotics, birth control, over-exercise, food poisoning, mold toxicity, and even viral infections✅ Nutrient depletion: how overgrowth blocks absorption of iron, zinc, folate, and B6 — critical for conception and embryo development✅ Treatment approaches: why antibiotics alone rarely work, how biofilm disruptors and herbal antimicrobials can help, and why nervous system regulation is essential✅ Mind-body connection: how stress and “survival mode” impact fertility — and the role of rest, intuition, and feminine energy in healing🌸 Whether you’re just starting your TTC journey, facing “unexplained” infertility, or feeling discouraged by repeated IVF cycles, this conversation offers hope, insight, and real solutions.Follow Jen on:Ig: @the.sibo.coachFB @thesibocoach📌 Resources & Links:🔗 Learn more from today’s guest: thesibocoach.com🔗 Explore natural gut & fertility support resources: Free SIBO Assessment - https://thesibocoach.com/resources💬 Let’s talk: Do you struggle with digestive symptoms like bloating, fatigue, or brain fog while trying to conceive?
