In Part 2 of my IVF FAQ series, I answer the transfer questions I get asked most: should you do PGT testing, is a fresh or frozen transfer better, and when is it actually safe to stop progesterone. I explain why a PGT normal embryo still isn't a guarantee. I cover what a progesterone level above 1.5 on trigger day means for your implantation window, and why stopping progesterone by the calendar instead of a lab result can put a pregnancy at risk. You'll also learn the four ways I support women through a transfer, why this is not the time to add new supplements or start a detox, and what to do next if IVF hasn't worked yet.In this episode, you’ll learn:A PGT-normal embryo rules out chromosomal issues, not every health problem.Fresh and frozen transfers have similar success rates, so how you recover after retrieval matters more.Progesterone above 1.5 on trigger day often means your implantation window has shifted.Test before you stop progesterone, because some placentas aren't ready until week 16 or later.What got you pregnant keeps you pregnant, so transfer is not the time for new supplements.A failed IVF cycle is information, not a verdict.About Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

The standard advice ("try for a year, then IUI, then IVF, then donor") treats fertility like a checklist. Dr Jane breaks down why that linear path fails so many couples, walks through the exact lab markers that mean IUI isn't your next right step, and shares a real case from her practice: a couple who went through eight failed IUI rounds before anyone asked why. You'll leave this episode knowing exactly what to test, what to monitor, and how to actually read the results of a cycle that didn't work.In this episode, you’ll learn:A failed IUI means the treatment was wrong, not that you failed.FSH over 12, AMH under 0.5, or a lining under 7mm are reasons to skip IUI entirely.Poor sperm morphology can quietly sink round after round of IUI.Thyroid medication rarely fixes fertility because thyroid is rarely the root cause.One IUI cycle already tells you whether the next one is worth trying.There's no universal supplement stack, only what your labs actually show.About Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I answer the questions I get asked most: how do you know if IVF is actually your next step, how many rounds is too many, and what testing should you do beforehand. I walk through the mistakes I see most often: going in without knowing why you're not conceiving, rushing into another round without retesting what didn't work, and pushing through a cycle that was never going to succeed. You'll also learn what a properly tracked cycle should actually look like, why "normal" labs often aren't, and why detoxing after IVF isn't about a dramatic cleanse; it's about helping your body reset. Part 2 will cover the transfer and what to look for in embryo quality.In this episode, you’ll learn:IVF not working doesn't mean you're broken; it means the treatment wasn't right for you right nowKnow why you're not getting pregnant first. If it's not happening naturally, something is missing2-3 rounds should be enough if you're properly prepped; more usually means something was missedThere's no such thing as truly "normal" labs when you're struggling to conceiveA properly tracked cycle tells you what's working; without it you're guessingDetoxing after IVF just means helping your body drain and reset, not a dramatic cleanseAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down why we're seeing these two conditions show up together more often, why they share high inflammation and hormonal imbalance even though the underlying mechanisms are different, and why conventional care usually only catches the more obvious, dominant diagnosis. I walk through a real patient case: a 30-year-old with confirmed endometriosis who's also developing early PCOS markers nobody had flagged, and how her full history, from childhood stress to environmental exposures, helped us understand why. In this episode, you’ll learn:Endometriosis and PCOS/PMOS can happen together, more common than you'd thinkBoth share high inflammation, but endo is autoimmune, PMOS is metabolicConventional care often catches one condition and misses the otherPMOS is a loop: insulin resistance disrupts ovulation, raising AMH, hurting mitochondriaYour full history often reveals more than current labs aloneNo protocol works well while your environment still works against youAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I walk you through real, live examples of results that were called normal, and explain why they weren't. You'll learn the real difference between advocating for yourself and trying to become your own fertility specialist, why relying on AI or Google to interpret your labs and build your own protocol can quietly waste the one thing you can't get back: time, and what to actually do instead: organize your labs, ask sharper questions, and build a real team around you. I also share a raw case of a client whose fibroids, cyst, and endometriosis turned out to be hiding a dangerous heavy metal toxicity nobody had caught.In this episode, you’ll learn:If you can't get pregnant, something is going on; there's no such thing as "normal" labsAdvocating for yourself is healthy; becoming your own specialist wastes time you can't get backAI and Google lack real clinical experience and can confidently give wrong guidanceOne "normal" GI-MAP actually showed leaky gut, a missed blood flag, and low sperm countOrganize your labs chronologically, so you understand your case and ask sharper questionsA client's fibroids and endo were hiding dangerously high lead levels, caught through further testingAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Dr. Nicole joins me again to share her full story, undiagnosed PCOS for years, the apartment that was making her and her son sick every two weeks, and how everything shifted once they moved. She opens up about her first postpartum experience, including a raw, honest moment of just how hard it got, and walks through everything she's doing differently this time, real bloodwork instead of just trusting "it's fine," an expanded supplement protocol, and a support system built in advance. Oh, and she's pregnant with twins.In this episode, you’ll learn:Nicole had undiagnosed PCOS for years until Dr. Jane spotted it in her old labsHer apartment (suspected mold, EMF, chemicals) was making her and her son sick every 2 weeksA 5-day fast helped reset her metabolic terrain, then she conceived twinsTrust your own labs, not just "it's fine," she's doing real bloodwork this timePostpartum is the biggest hormonal shift in the shortest time, treat it like real recoveryLetting go of expectations was a turning point for both her fertility and her milk supplyAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I share my own miscarriage story, what I wish someone had told me at the time, and what I now tell my own patients. You'll learn what to actually do in the days right after a loss, why I recommend a maximum 7-day window before considering intervention, how to support your body through the hormone crash and nutrient depletion that follows, and how testing should look different for a first miscarriage versus recurrent loss. If you've been told to "just wait and try again" with no real guidance, this episode will give you an actual plan.In this episode, you’ll learn:One miscarriage doesn't mean you'll never carry a healthy pregnancyA 7-day window lets the body try to miscarry naturally before interveningThe hormone crash after a miscarriage causes real mood swings, not just "in your head"Take real time off work, physical recovery is more intense than expectedAfter a first loss, basic testing offers real reassurance before trying againAfter recurrent losses, expand testing to partner DNA, immune markers, and the uterusAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down why so many couples end up doing 5, 8, even 10+ rounds, bouncing between clinics without ever getting a real answer for why it's not working. You'll learn what every IVF round should be teaching you, the questions to ask your clinic to know if they're actually invested in your case, and why waiting years for something as simple as a DNA fragmentation test or a microbiome check can mean rounds of unnecessary IVF. Whether you haven't started yet, you're a few rounds in, or you're well past five, this one will help you figure out what's actually missing before you sign up for another round.In this episode, you’ll learn:Couples now do far more IVF rounds, often bouncing between clinics without addressing the root causeEvery round should teach you something; debrief on what happened and who's responsibleA clinic that just says "let's try again" without explaining why is a red flagOne couple wasn't tested for DNA fragmentation until year 8; it came back at 22%Treating a missed infection got one couple pregnant 6 weeks after 5 failed roundsTrust your gut about a clinic from the first appointment; don't start round 1 if it feels wrongAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I walk through a real patient's lab results live: iron, copper and zinc, electrolytes, vaginal microbiome, stool testing, and DUTCH hormone testing, to show you exactly what a fertility-trained lens catches that a generalist or automated read misses. You'll see why an iron transfusion didn't tell the full story, why a "normal" vaginal microbiome result actually wasn't, why she had severe leaky gut nobody addressed, and why her estrogen was actually low, not high, despite the common assumption that endometriosis always means excess estrogen. If your labs have come back "fine" but nothing's actually changed, this one will show you what might be missing.In this episode, you’ll learn:"Normal" ferritin doesn't mean iron is fine; high iron and saturation can be a missed red flagAutomated reports can miss real problems; one test read "normal" despite zero healthy bacteria detectedTreat parasites before bacteria, and restore drainage and energy before either; order mattersSevere leaky gut can hide behind normal-looking bloodwork, since gut markers come from a separate testEndometriosis doesn't always mean high estrogen; some cases show low estrogen concentrated in one areaMinimizing results as "not that bad" can add years to your fertility journeyAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I sit down with Dr Aumatma Simmons, a double board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist with nearly 20 years of experience in fertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, to talk about why research-based dosing so often fails in the real world, and why the same protocol can work beautifully for one person and do nothing (or make things worse) for another. We get into why testing has to come before any protocol, why male partners are so often undertested, and why "normal" results don't always mean there's nothing going on. You'll also hear real patient stories, including a couple who realized after months of work together that the outcome they actually wanted wasn't the one they thought they did.In this episode, you’ll learn:Research-based dosing often fails; the same "proven" dose can help one person and harm anotherProtocols should be research-informed, filtered through clinical experience, not followed blindlyAddressing one system at a time works better than overwhelming the body at onceMale partners are often severely undertested, sometimes for years"Normal" results don't always mean nothing's wrongMold exposure is a rapidly rising, often-missed fertility factorAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down why your case isn't average, and the three biggest mistakes I see holding complex fertility cases back: fragmented care across practitioners who never talk to each other, a male partner who's undertested because "normal" sperm results don't mean optimal results, and chasing one single root cause when it's almost always ten small imbalances stacking up. You'll hear a real case where a couple didn't test DNA fragmentation until year eight of trying, and why the biggest shift often isn't another supplement, it's being honest about the real change your body and your life actually need.In this episode, you’ll learn:Trying for 2+ years? Your case isn't average, it needs a different approachFragmented care across practitioners creates overwhelm and repeats mistakes"Normal" sperm means good enough for IVF, not optimal conceptionOne couple's DNA fragmentation wasn't tested until year 8, tied to years of untreated insomniaComplex cases are rarely one root cause, usually 10 small imbalances stacking upThe biggest shift is often honesty about real life changes, not another supplementAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I sit down with Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, who nearly died from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis and now helps people reverse gut disease naturally. We break down the five physiological imbalances behind most chronic gut and fertility issues, digestion, microbiome, leaky gut, nervous system dysregulation, and drainage pathways, and share a real patient story where gut work took sperm viability from zero to over 60%. You'll also learn what's safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, why everything you eat reaches your baby within 30 minutes, and why healing your gut before conceiving can change everything.In this episode, you’ll learn:Five imbalances drive most gut and fertility issues: digestion, microbiome, leaky gut, nervous system, and drainage pathwaysOne patient's sperm viability rose from 0% to over 60% after 18 months of gut-focused workResolve gut issues at least a year before conceiving, since a prenatal alone won't fix IBS/IBD-driven nutrient deficienciesRule of thumb: nothing new during pregnancy, have things established beforehandEverything a breastfeeding mother eats reaches the baby within about 30 minutesCurcumin is safe long-term for gut inflammation and can continue through pregnancy and postpartumAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I share two real stories from my practice: both women are 45 years old, and both got pregnant, but through completely different paths. One went through IVF after a previous clinic wrongly blamed her egg quality when the real issue was her husband's sperm. The other conceived naturally during a break from active treatment. You'll learn why biological age matters more than the number on your birth certificate, why sperm quality is just as important as egg quality, and why age alone should never be the reason you're written off.In this episode, you’ll learn:Age is only one factor; biological age (shaped by stress, toxins, and history) matters more than the number on your birth certificateEmbryo quality reflects both partners; blaming poor results on egg quality alone often overlooks sperm qualityDNA fragmentation in sperm can improve significantly with focused work; one husband's dropped from 25 to 17 in about two monthsNatural conception after 40 requires real discipline, less room for alcohol, dietary lapses, or disrupted sleep than in your 20s or 30sAfter 40, every cycle matters; most patients need 3 to 6 months of focused, tested work before deciding on next stepsGoing into IVF blindly out of fear can cause more harm than good; get tested and optimize your health firstAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I sit down with Leonard Lopoo, a policy researcher and author of “Wanting Children”, to unpack how US family planning policy was built, who it was designed to help, and who it's always left out. We get into the history he uncovered in his research, including Nixon-era recordings revealing the eugenics-adjacent thinking behind some of these programs, why most states still don't mandate insurance coverage for infertility treatment, and how countries like France, Poland, and Estonia support families very differently. Len also shares his central argument for what should actually determine policy: not income, but whether someone genuinely wants to become a parent.In this episode, you’ll learn:US "family planning" policy means contraception, not fertility support, not even ovulation medicationsMany federal programs began in the 1970s under a health equity banner, but archival research reveals more complex motivesMost states don't mandate infertility insurance coverage, and where it exists, it's often gated behind years of tryingMedicaid excludes ovulation-stimulating medications, and newer programs like TrumpRx exclude Medicaid recipients entirelyFrance, Poland, and Estonia offer far more generous fertility support, some funding up to six IVF cyclesLen argues policy should prioritize "wantedness," not income, since that's what actually predicts better outcomes for childrenAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I walk you through exactly what to test the moment you get a positive result, hCG and progesterone, not just one or the other, and why waiting until your first ultrasound to know if things are okay isn't good enough. You'll learn what I test for in each trimester, from methylation and thyroid function to bile acids and cervical length, why easy conception doesn't mean an easy pregnancy, and two real patient stories where catching something early through testing made all the difference.In this episode, you’ll learn:hCG alone doesn't tell you enough; pairing it with progesterone gives a fuller picture of the pregnancyConventional standards accept progesterone above 10, but levels above 20 offer better supportDon't stop progesterone when a trimester ends; wait until testing confirms the placenta has taken overStruggled to conceive? Underlying issues can resurface during pregnancy, so more monitoring helps, not lessNo symptoms doesn't mean no risk; some complications only show up through testingCatching problems early through regular testing helps prevent emergencies later in pregnancyAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I walk you through exactly what to eat and what to avoid during this window, why warmth and blood flow matter for implantation, and how sleep, movement, and stress directly affect your progesterone levels. You'll also learn why early pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms are so hard to tell apart, and why I recommend giving your body just three to four cycles before shifting from optimizing naturally to actually getting tested.In this episode, you’ll learn:Implantation happens 5 days post-ovulation, so you can be pregnant a week before any test confirms itEarly pregnancy and PMS symptoms feel nearly identical, especially without close cycle trackingWarm, easy-to-digest foods support uterine blood flow, since digestion and reproduction share the same cavityStress converts progesterone into cortisol, testosterone, or estrogen, so managing stress protects itDoing one or two things intentionally beats trying every tip at onceAfter 3-4 months of trying, it's time to test, not keep optimizing, that's information, not bad luckAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down the four biggest mistakes I see: treating supplements as the main strategy instead of support, assuming more is always better, following influencer advice with no context, and reaching for advanced tools like peptides before covering the basics. You'll learn my right therapy, right person, right time framework, why testing before you supplement matters more than which brand you choose, and why supplements can never outwork a lifestyle that's constantly working against you.In this episode, you’ll learn:Supplements are tools to support your diet and lifestyle, not a replacement for themMore isn't automatically better; higher doses, more products, or advanced delivery methods aren't the goal on their ownFollowing influencer or research recommendations without your own context, genetics, or testing rarely translates to real resultsTesting before supplementing lets you address root cause instead of just chasing symptomsNot all supplements are created equal; brand quality, formulation, and even fillers can determine whether something actually works for youAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I sit down with Anna, founder of Feel Well by Anna, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer in the middle of finding out she was pregnant, and whose fertility journey started with an ectopic pregnancy discovered mid-surgery. We talk through her decision to freeze her eggs before chemotherapy, the mindset work that carried her through years of fear-based decisions, and what finally shifted for her, from nutrient-dense eating to cycle tracking to finding the right partner, on the way to her current, healthy pregnancy.In this episode, you’ll learn:Fear-driven decisions are rarely clear decisions; pausing even two weeks can bring the perspective needed to choose wellTracking fertility signs for years before trying to conceive builds real body literacy, not just the months leading up to itStandard progesterone reference ranges are often too low; NAPRO practitioners look for levels above 20, not just above 10The right partner matters for fertility in ways that go beyond biology; nervous system safety and regulation play a real roleConstant testing and monitoring brings some people peace and creates anxiety for others; knowing which one you are mattersDiet, lifestyle basics, and finding the right partner mattered more to Anna's outcome than any single supplement or protocolAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I walk you through the exact hierarchy we use with chronic fertility cases, why treating one infection like Lyme, mold, or parasites in isolation almost never works, and why pathogens have to be cleared in a specific order, biggest to smallest, before the body can actually heal. You'll learn why symptoms like brain fog, joint pain, or sleep disruption each point to something specific happening in the body, why herx reactions above a six out of ten mean you're pushing too hard, and why years of detoxing without results usually means a piece of the puzzle, not the whole approach, was missing.In this episode, you’ll learn:Infections never come alone; treating one pathogen in isolation almost never fully resolves chronic fertility issuesThere's a specific order to clear infections, biggest to smallest: worms and parasites first, then mold, bacteria, and viral lastHerx reactions above a six out of ten for more than three days mean the body is being pushed too hard, not healing properlyEach symptom points to something specific; low energy suggests mitochondrial or methylation support is needed; brain fog suggests neurotoxic loadBiofilm disruption matters; without it, pathogens can survive months of treatment while still hiding in the bodyPartner testing is essential; couples often pass the same infections back and forth without realizing itAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down why PCOS was just renamed polyendocrine metabolic syndrome, why it starts in the brain and not the ovaries, and the three windows where the root cause actually forms, in utero, during puberty, and in adulthood. You'll learn the full hormone cascade behind your symptoms, from GnRH pulse frequency to androgens to anovulation, why testing matters more than guessing with supplements, and why nervous system regulation, blood sugar, movement, and trauma processing have to come before any protocol will actually work.In this episode, you’ll learn:– PCOS has been renamed polyendocrine metabolic syndrome, reflecting that it was never really about the ovaries– Root causes trace back to three windows, in utero, puberty, and adulthood, not just current symptoms– Maternal androgens and paternal metabolic issues can program a child's future PCOS risk before birth– The disease actually starts in the brain, through GnRH pulse frequency, not in the ovaries– Testing matters more than guessing with supplements, since one supplement alone will never address every layer of the imbalance– Nervous system regulation has to come before any protocol, since it's where the whole hormonal cascade beginsAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down the three leading theories on what causes endometriosis, why it should never be classified as just a "gynecological condition" given how deeply it involves your immune, vascular, and nervous systems, and why cutting out a lesion surgically so often doesn't stop it from coming back. You'll learn the difference between testing that shows how endo is impacting your body versus testing that reveals the actual root cause, why your partner's testing matters just as much as yours, and why I recommend about six months of prep before surgery or IVF instead of jumping straight into a procedure that may not have even been necessary.In this episode, you’ll learn:Endometriosis takes about 10 years to diagnose on average, so the real number of women affected is likely much higher than the reported 10%Endometriosis shouldn't be classified as just a gynecological condition; it involves the immune, vascular, and nervous systems, tooCutting out a lesion surgically doesn't address the root cause, which is why endometriosis often comes backThere are two types of testing that matter: those that show how endo is impacting your body, and those that reveal the actual root causePartner testing matters, especially for microbiome imbalances and DNA fragmentation, since couples share microbial exposureAbout six months of testing and prep before surgery or IVF can prevent spending on a procedure that may not have even been necessaryAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I share the real story behind why my family and I recently moved from Calgary to Northern Idaho, and the hard lesson we learned about resistance during a five-year green card process. You'll hear why I believe your environment shapes your health as much as any protocol ever could, and why regulating your own nervous system might be the missing piece nobody's told you about.In this episode, you’ll learn:Your environment shapes your health, not just your performanceResistance in a process can mean you have the wrong team, not that you just need to wait longerA regulated nervous system determines how present you can be for your family and your patientsBig life decisions often take longer and cost more than expected, and can still be worth itNothing changes about the practice, fully virtual care continues for patients in Canada and the USIn-person couples' retreats are being planned for the next one to two yearsAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down why “having a functional doctor” does not automatically mean you have a fertility plan, the key nuances most generalists miss (cycle‑timed labs, INITO data, male factor, endo/PMOS/DOR patterns), and why testing one thing at a time quietly burns your most precious resource: time. You’ll learn what a true fertility specialist team actually does differently, and how to know when it’s time to upgrade from general support to a real fertility strategy.In this episode, you’ll learn:– A functional doctor is a generalist, fertility is a specialty, and those are not the same thing– Testing without timing it to your cycle means missing how your hormones actually fluctuate– Ignoring the male partner is one of the biggest blind spots in fertility care– Testing one issue at a time can cost you years you don't have– A CA 125 marker above 30 signals a much higher miscarriage risk– The right team brings your partner in from day one and tracks real resultsAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down the six distinct phases we use to support couples through an IVF cycle, why treating IVF as a single event is where most couples go wrong, and why metabolically healthy women often need far less medication to get better results. You'll learn what actually needs to happen in each phase, from pre-IVF prep through early pregnancy, and hear real cases of couples who needed sixteen months of prep before their cycle finally worked.In this episode, you’ll learn:IVF failing doesn't mean your body is broken, it means you didn't get the right help at the right timeIVF is a tool, not a plan, your results depend on what you do before, during, and after the cycleMetabolically healthy women need far less medication to get great retrieval resultsNothing new on race day, stimulation is not the time to add detoxes or experimental supplementsProgesterone levels should be tested, not assumed, guessing is not a protocolWhat got you pregnant keeps you pregnant, early pregnancy still needs active supportAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down what the seminal microbiome is, why it's the missing piece almost no one is testing, and what we're finding in the clinic that standard semen analysis completely misses. You'll learn how silent organisms quietly damage sperm DNA, why treating only the woman keeps the infection cycling back, and how testing both partners at the same time can shift a case that's been stuck for years.In this episode, you’ll learn:A normal semen analysis only measures sperm output, not what is living inside the semenInfertile couples share roughly half of the same predominant bacterial species between partnersOrganisms like E. coli, Gardnerella, and Candida can silently damage sperm DNA without a single symptomTreating only the woman for BV or yeast will fail if his seminal microbiome is never testedYou are each other's environment.

I share a real couple’s story to show how shared microbiomes, toxins, and low‑grade inflammation in both partners can keep you stuck, why his symptoms and history matter just as much as yours, and how bringing him fully into the workup can shift your fertility journey from you-carrying-it-all to a true team effort.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Endometriosis is a full-body inflammatory condition, not just a reproductive one- Partners share microbiomes through touch, food, kissing, and breathing, not just intimacy- A sperm analysis done after 14 days of abstinence is unreadable and basically useless- Fatigue, anxiety, and unexplained symptoms in men are signs worth investigating before trying to conceive- Fertility struggles are often multigenerational, not just about what's happening in your body right now- When the male partner heals, the female partner typically heals faster tooAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I explain why BV is never just a “vaginal issue,” how the gut–vaginal axis, immune system, partner microbiome, and biofilms keep you stuck, and why the standard 7–10 days of antibiotics plus probiotics almost always fails. You’ll learn how I properly test for BV vs aerobic vaginitis, build a real treatment plan (for you and your partner), and why clearing this for good can change your chances of getting and staying pregnant.In this episode, you’ll learn:Recurrent BV is a whole-system problem, not just a vaginal microbiome issueAntibiotics fail because they ignore biofilms, the gut-vaginal axis, and the partnerBV and aerobic vaginitis are two different conditions requiring two different treatment approachesMen are often silent carriers, and both partners must be treated for infections to actually clearBiofilm disruption is the missing step most practitioners skip entirelyClearing a deep infection takes 6 to 12 weeks minimum, not a 7-day antibiotic courseUnresolved BV directly impacts cervical mucus, sperm survival, implantation, and miscarriage riskAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down how I decide which tests are actually worth your money, when they should be timed in your cycle, and why fragmented, one‑off testing keeps couples stuck and overwhelmed instead of pregnant. You’ll also hear a real case of a couple who spent two years and thousands of dollars on functional labs without getting closer to a baby, and what changed when we finally ran the right tests in the right order and interpreted them through a fertility lens.In this episode, you’ll learn:A test is only as good as the person interpreting it; without that, the results are uselessRunning labs without a plan afterwards is like buying a device and never changing your behaviorTiming your tests to your cycle matters more than most practitioners realizeThe loudest pathogen is not always the one you treat firstFragmented testing across multiple practitioners creates conflicting advice, not clarityThe iron triangle is real: speed, cost, and results, you only get to pick twoAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I sit down with Monica and Josh, a couple who chose to be proactive about their fertility: we walk through what worried them, the surprising things we found in both of their labs (from heavy metals to low GABA), how changing his brain and energy changed their whole marriage, and the plan we built so conception didn’t have to be a giant question mark.In this episode, you’ll learn:- A GABA level of zero can mimic pregnancy anxiety.- Years of "healthy living" can still miss hidden heavy metal toxicity.- Fixing one partner's brain function can transform the whole marriage.- Copper and zinc imbalances quietly fuel anxious feelings.- Fear of conceiving is often your body asking for help first.- Preconception care deserves the same effort as postpartum support.About Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I break down what a failed IVF cycle actually means (and doesn’t mean), why IVF is a tool and not a fix, and the key questions you must answer before signing up for another round. We’ll talk about root causes that IVF never addressed, how to know if your body was even ready for stimulation and pregnancy, and what a smart, data‑driven next step can look like instead of a desperate spin on the same roulette wheel.In this episode, you’ll learn:A failed IVF cycle is not proof that your body can't get pregnantIVF bypasses the reason you needed it, it doesn't fix itYour thyroid, inflammation, and nutrient levels should be optimized before stimulation starts"Normal" lab ranges are not the same as optimal for fertilityMed protocols should be personalized, not based on age and AMH aloneClarify, correct, then conceive is the path to a smarter next stepAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We walk through a real PCOS case with four miscarriages, “normal” labs, high AMH, failed IVF, and show you exactly what was being missed. If you’ve been told it’s “bad luck,” “your age,” or “unexplained,” this conversation will give you a framework, and real lab examples, for what to actually investigate next.In this episode, you’ll learn:- Recurrent pregnancy loss is not random your body is always trying to tell you something- Getting pregnant and staying pregnant require two completely different things from your body- A high AMH with PCOS means lots of follicles that never mature, not a fertility advantage- IVF can help with fertilization but it cannot fix your underlying biology- Elevated NK cells mean your uterus is too inflamed to accept an embryo- "Normal" labs and optimal fertility labs are not the same thingAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I walk through a real client case to show why surgery alone often isn’t enough, what her functional labs were really saying through a fertility lens, and what we are doing next to lower recurrence and move her toward pregnancy.In this episode, you’ll learn:Surgery removes the tissue but never removes the environment that caused it to grow in the first placeIf you haven't conceived within 3 to 6 months post-surgery, that's a red flag worth investigating now, not at 18 monthsHigh beta-glucuronidase in the gut means your body is recycling estrogen, which directly feeds endometriosis recurrenceA general functional practitioner without a fertility lens will likely hyper-focus on the wrong markers for an endo patientEstrogen dominance, sluggish digestion, and low secretory IgA are connected patterns, not isolated problems to treat separatelyDeveloping PCOS and endometriosis can co-exist long before any conventional diagnosis is madeAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We unpack how depletion, gut and vaginal microbiome shifts, infections like Candida and Ureaplasma, hormone changes, and nervous system dysregulation after baby #1 can quietly block baby #2. You’ll hear a real client case, what their labs actually showed, and how to think about realistic recovery timelines before trying again.In this episode, you’ll learn:Secondary infertility is often an unresolved postpartum issue, not a fertility failureBeing told your labs are "normal" does not mean your body is ready to conceive againMost women need at least 6 months after stopping breastfeeding before trying againCandida, Ureaplasma, and leaky gut are silent barriers to implantation that won't resolve on their ownWhat you do with recovery time matters far more than how much time passesPregnancy pushes subclinical issues to the surface, it does not create themAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

I explain what a thin lining is really telling us about your hormones, nutrients, blood flow, microbiome, and stress, using my “bricks, builders, and construction site” framework to show where things break down. You’ll learn the key labs and cycle timings I use with patients, and how we rebuild lining by fixing root causes instead of throwing random foods, teas, and supplements at the problem.In this episode, you’ll learn:Thin uterine lining is a symptom, not the root causeYour menstrual cycle is your monthly report cardAlways time your tests to your cycle; never test randomlyThree root causes: nutrients, hormonal signals, and uterine environmentAntibiotics alone rarely fix uterine infections; the whole terrain mattersMost women skip clarify and correct and jump straight to trying to conceiveAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We unpack why most “fertility clinics” are really IVF clinics, what a true root‑cause workup should include (stool testing, vaginal and seminal microbiomes, DNA fragmentation), and why male factor can no longer be an afterthought. You’ll also hear their take on PRP, peptides, and biohacking vs. basics.In this episode, you’ll learn:IVF is not a first-line treatment, it bypasses the problem, it doesn't fix itThe test is only as good as the interpreter, ChatGPT can't replace clinical experienceMen were barely part of the conversation 20 years ago; now they're showing up and making changesLifestyle alone, sleep, diet, stress, can transform sperm quality by over 100xProgress over perfection: drip your motivation, don't dump it all at onceThe gut is foundational to fertility, you can't absorb what you can't digestDon't stack expensive therapies like PRP or peptides on a broken foundationAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We talk about why AMH is often misunderstood, why it should never be used in isolation, and how it does not reflect egg quality. If you’ve been told your AMH is “low” and felt panic or pressure to rush into IVF, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on and what you can actually do to improve your fertility.In this episode, you’ll learn:AMH is not a measurement of fertility; it is a measurement of ovarian reserveHigh AMH does not mean good egg quality, and low AMH does not mean poor egg qualityNever diagnose or make decisions based on one AMH test aloneAMH can increase when inflammation and nutrient deficiencies are addressedFertility clinics are really IVF clinics; they answer one question onlyBlood sugar is one of the most overlooked factors affecting fertilityImproving AMH is not a quick fix; it requires a full body transformationAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We’ll walk through clear green, yellow, and red lights for IUIs so you can see whether it’s actually the next right step in your fertility journey.In this episode, you’ll learn:A failed IUI does not mean your body is broken; it means nobody asked why it failedIUI is a tool, not a planWashing sperm does not bypass male fertility issuesThere are clear green, yellow, and red lights for when IUI is the right next stepMost women going through IUI are not being tracked properlyNever proceed with IUI without optimizing the basics firstAfter a failed IUI, pause and understand why before doing another oneAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We dig into what everyone missed – her gut, toxic load, inflammation, nutrient depletion, blood sugar, immune system and her partner’s infections – and how supporting all of that plus a second, better surgery transformed her resilience and allowed her to conceive naturally. If you’ve been told “we removed the lesions, now you just need IVF,” this will give you a completely different framework for what’s actually possible with endo.In this episode, you’ll learn:Surgery alone rarely fixes endometriosis if the environment is not addressedEndometriosis is a full body inflammatory condition, not just a reproductive issueThe male partner can silently carry infections that keep her sickPrepping the body before surgery changes everythingA miscarriage can still prove your body is capable of conceiving naturallyTreating the couple together transforms the relationship and the fertilityIf IVF feels like the only option, nobody has put all the pieces together yetAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We break down what methylation actually is, why testing just one marker (like MTHFR or homocysteine) is not enough, and how this process impacts egg quality, sperm health, implantation, and miscarriage risk.If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” or you’re stuck chasing supplements without clear direction, this episode will help you understand why a deeper, more personalized approach is essential and how optimizing your body at the cellular level can completely change your fertility outcomes.In this episode, you’ll learn:Methylation is being missed, even by natural practitionersMethylation controls egg quality, implantation, and miscarriage riskICSI bypasses the symptom, not the root causeHaving the gene variant doesn't mean it will express negativelyA personalized protocol always beats a prenatalRecurrent pregnancy loss before week six, always look at methylationAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We break down how fibroids are not just something to ignore, but a signal of deeper imbalances in hormones, inflammation, immune function, and the microbiome. If you’ve been told your fibroids “don’t matter,” this conversation will help you understand what your body is actually trying to tell you and what to do nextIn this episode, you’ll learn:Fibroids impact fertility indirectly through various pathways.Treating root causes is crucial for addressing fibroids.Fibroids are often overlooked but provide important health clues.Location and size of fibroids affect fertility differently.Environmental and genetic factors influence fibroid development.Microbiome imbalances can lead to fibroid growth.Surgery isn't always necessary; holistic approaches can help.About Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Whether you're just starting out or deep into TTC, I’ll help you cut through the noise, avoid common mistakes, and understand how to read the patterns in your cycle.

An “angry uterus” is not random, the immune system activates in response to something. If you’ve been told everything looks fine but pregnancy still isn’t happening, this may be the missing piece.In this episode, you’ll learn:The immune system's role in embryo acceptance and implantationCommon signs and symptoms of uterine immunology issuesThe significance of inflammation, autoimmunity, and environment in fertilityHow to interpret testing for autoimmune markers, inflammation, and immune mappingThe importance of treating both partners and addressing the microbiomeConnections between diet, toxins, methylation, and immune regulationCase examples illustrating complex fertility challengesPractical steps to assess and support uterine health for a successful pregnancyAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

We talk about why pregnancy is an immune process, how autoimmunity and chronic inflammation can block implantation, and why so many cases are mislabeled as “unexplained.” Aimee shares powerful stories of missed uterine diagnostics (fibroids, endometritis, endo) and why proper testing of the uterus, hormones, metabolism, and sperm can change everything.We also cover what’s evolving in IVF (PGT accuracy, protocol intensity, low-stim approaches) and her updated book, Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, revised edition.In this episode, you’ll learn:Practical steps women can take before trying to conceiveThe impact of age and lifestyle on fertility today versus a decade agoThe importance of comprehensive diagnostics beyond hormones and traditional testingThe role of environmental toxins, digital lifestyle, and circadian rhythm in reproductive healthDeep dive into IVF protocols, genetic testing, and the limitations of current reproductive technologiesAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

EPISODE SUMMARY:Too many couples are promised a fast track to pregnancy through IVF, only to end up more confused, depleted, and heartbroken. In this episode, Katie and I break down what IVF was originally designed for and why it cannot override inflammation, poor sperm DNA integrity, blood sugar dysfunction, or immune imbalance.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I sit down with my patients, David and Melody, a couple whose story spans recurrent pregnancy loss, the stillbirth of their son at 37 weeks, and the long road back to hope. We talk candidly about what it took to keep moving forward through grief, why “simple fixes” and generic timelines weren’t enough, and how individualized care and real-time data helped us uncover what had been missed. We also discuss how they navigated adoption alongside their fertility journey, what shifted in their bodies and mindset before their healthy pregnancy, and why they chose to write their book, The Process of the Suddenly, while still in the middle of their story. It is a profound honor to walk this journey with my patients, to problem-solve through the setbacks, to celebrate the breakthroughs, and ultimately to witness the moment they hold their baby in their arms. Hearing Melody’s birth story and seeing their daughter was nothing short of magical. If you are in the middle of your own uphill climb, I hope their story reminds you that healing is possible and that your body is capable of more than you’ve been led to believe.ABOUT DR.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I sit down with my practitioner Dr. Elissa to unpack how autoimmune disease impacts fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and implantation. We break down what ANA and ENA testing really means, the role of the gut and vaginal microbiome in immune regulation, and why so many women are told their labs are “normal” when their bodies are clearly struggling. We also explore the deeper patterns behind autoimmunity, drawing on Dr. Gabor Maté’s work - where chronic stress, self-abandonment, and broken boundaries often show up as immune dysfunction. If you’ve felt dismissed or know there’s more to your fertility story, this episode will help you connect the dots.ABOUT DR.
