What if the “gold standard” of fertility isn’t actually the first-step solution you’ve been told it is?

In this fiery, deeply honest episode, we’re unpacking the truth behind IVF — the failure rates, the missing root-cause work, the emotional and financial toll, and why so many women are pushed toward a $25,000 procedure without ever being told that IVF doesn’t fix fertility… it bypasses it.

You’ll learn:
• Why IVF is over-prescribed (and who actually benefits)
• The REAL reasons transfers fail
• The root-cause issues no clinic is testing for
• How to know whether IVF is actually your next step
• What to fix FIRST to increase your chances — naturally or with IVF
• Why YOU are not broken… the system is

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed toward IVF, or told “your only option is a cycle,” this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air and a jolt of truth-telling energy.

Everywhere you look, someone’s injecting something — peptides, NAD, “miracle” shots that promise better energy, weight loss, and even fertility. But what’s really behind the hype?

In this episode, Kelsey goes full coach-meets-science mode to unpack what these compounds actually do inside your body — from BPC-157 to Tirzepatide — and what that means for your hormones, stress response, and fertility.

You’ll hear her personal experience using peptides (what worked, what didn’t, and what surprised her), why context matters more than quick fixes, and how to know if these tools are right for you.

Spoiler: the real miracle isn’t in a syringe — it’s in understanding your body’s signals and supporting them with the right foundation first.

👉 If you’ve been peptide-curious or want the truth behind the buzz, this is your episode.

You’ve been told your infertility is “genetic.”
But that’s not the full story — it’s just the lazy one.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into epigenetics — the science that proves your DNA isn’t destiny. You’ll learn how nutrition, stress, sleep, and your environment literally change which genes turn “on” or “off,” shaping your fertility at the cellular level.

We’ll talk methylation, gene expression, real client transformations, and how your daily choices ripple into your reproductive health (and your future children’s, too).

By the end, you’ll never hear “it’s genetic” the same way again.

Your AMH is not your destiny.

If your doctor has ever told you that your AMH is “too low” or that you should “start IVF immediately,” this episode is your permission slip to breathe.

Kelsey breaks down what AMH actually measures (and what it doesn’t), the real-life factors that can change your AMH number by 20–60%, and why egg quality will always matter more than quantity.

You’ll learn:
✨ What AMH really tells us about your fertility
✨ How stress, inflammation, and nutrient depletion suppress AMH
✨ The one nutrient deficiency that can drop AMH by 30%
✨ How to build the internal environment your ovaries trust
✨ Real client stories that prove low AMH ≠ no hope

By the end, you’ll understand your number differently — and know exactly where to start reclaiming your fertility strategy.

If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling broken, confused, or like you’re running out of time… you need this episode.

🎧 Press play and get the truth your doctor never explained.

This one’s for the “give me something I can actually do” crowd. Kelsey shares five habits that are simple but wildly effective when it comes to supporting ovulation, regulating hormones, and improving egg quality—without spending hours a day or draining your willpower.

If you’re overwhelmed by supplements and second-guessing every decision, this episode is your reset.

We cover:

• Why morning minerals are more important than your morning coffee
• What blood sugar has to do with fertility
• The truth about pooping and hormone detox
• How nervous system check-ins impact ovulation
• The one logging habit that changes everything

If you’ve only looked at your ovaries, you’re missing the bigger picture. In this episode, Kelsey breaks down how your thyroid, gut, and cortisol response impact ovulation, egg quality, hormone metabolism—and your entire experience of trying to conceive.

You’ll learn what to ask for, what symptoms to track, and how these three systems are quietly running the show behind every “unexplained” case.

We cover:

• Why your thyroid might be “fine” but still causing problems
• How gut health affects estrogen, immunity, and egg development
• What cortisol actually does to ovulation
• Why these systems are connected (and what to do about it)
• The labs and symptoms to track right now

Male factor infertility is responsible for 40–50% of fertility challenges—and yet, it’s barely part of the conversation.

In this episode, we go deep on what sperm quality really requires, how culture makes it hard to talk about, and why “his test was fine” doesn’t mean it’s time to stop asking questions. Kelsey shares client stories, actionable advice, and the script you can use to ask for support without shame.

We cover:

• What sperm health actually depends on (hint: it’s not luck)
• What most semen analyses miss entirely
• How to advocate for deeper testing with your partner
• The unspoken emotional weight women carry in fertility work
• Why you don’t need to do this alone anymore

Negative pregnancy tests don’t mean you’re fine. They mean you need better data.

In this episode, Kelsey unpacks why women with “unexplained infertility” get dismissed so quickly—and what to actually look for when testing and tracking isn’t giving you answers.

We get blunt about what normal labs miss, how to decode patterns in your cycle, and why shame starts creeping in when the system keeps gaslighting you.

We cover:

• What “normal” lab values really mean (and why that’s not enough)
• The difference between testing for disease vs dysfunction
• Cycle clues that matter more than any pee stick
• What Kelsey’s clients almost always uncover when they go deeper
• How to stop obsessing and start interpreting your body’s signals
