Episode Summary If you've ever wondered whether the environment you're living in could be affecting your fertility, or you're preparing for a second pregnancy after a rough first postpartum experience, this episode is for you. 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 labs Her apartment (suspected mold, EMF, chemicals) was making her and her son sick every 2 weeks A 5-day fast helped reset her metabolic terrain, then she conceived twins Trust your own labs, not just "it's fine," she's doing real bloodwork this time Postpartum is the biggest hormonal shift in the shortest time, treat it like real recovery Letting go of expectations was a turning point for both her fertility and her milk supply About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've been through a miscarriage and you're wondering what to do next, physically, emotionally, or when it's actually safe to try again, this episode is for you. 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 pregnancy A 7-day window lets the body try to miscarry naturally before intervening The 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 expected After a first loss, basic testing offers real reassurance before trying again After recurrent losses, expand testing to partner DNA, immune markers, and the uterus About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've done more than one round of IVF and you're wondering whether you really need another, this episode is for you. 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 cause Every round should teach you something; debrief on what happened and who's responsible A clinic that just says "let's try again" without explaining why is a red flag One 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 rounds Trust your gut about a clinic from the first appointment; don't start round 1 if it feels wrong About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you have endometriosis and it keeps coming back no matter what you've tried, this episode is for you. 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 flag Automated reports can miss real problems; one test read "normal" despite zero healthy bacteria detected Treat parasites before bacteria, and restore drainage and energy before either; order matters Severe leaky gut can hide behind normal-looking bloodwork, since gut markers come from a separate test Endometriosis doesn't always mean high estrogen; some cases show low estrogen concentrated in one area Minimizing results as "not that bad" can add years to your fertility journey About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've been given a fertility protocol that's supposed to be working but somehow isn't, this episode is for you. 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 another Protocols should be research-informed, filtered through clinical experience, not followed blindly Addressing one system at a time works better than overwhelming the body at once Male partners are often severely undertested, sometimes for years "Normal" results don't always mean nothing's wrong Mold exposure is a rapidly rising, often-missed fertility factor About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've been trying to conceive for more than two years, this episode is for you. 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 approach Fragmented care across practitioners creates overwhelm and repeats mistakes "Normal" sperm means good enough for IVF, not optimal conception One couple's DNA fragmentation wasn't tested until year 8, tied to years of untreated insomnia Complex cases are rarely one root cause, usually 10 small imbalances stacking up The biggest shift is often honesty about real life changes, not another supplement About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you're dealing with chronic gut issues and wondering how that connects to your fertility, this episode is for you. 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 pathways One patient's sperm viability rose from 0% to over 60% after 18 months of gut-focused work Resolve gut issues at least a year before conceiving, since a prenatal alone won't fix IBS/IBD-driven nutrient deficiencies Rule of thumb: nothing new during pregnancy, have things established beforehand Everything a breastfeeding mother eats reaches the baby within about 30 minutes Curcumin is safe long-term for gut inflammation and can continue through pregnancy and postpartum About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you're in your 40s and trying to conceive, and you feel like you're constantly hearing that your clock is running out, this episode is for you. 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 certificate Embryo quality reflects both partners; blaming poor results on egg quality alone often overlooks sperm quality DNA fragmentation in sperm can improve significantly with focused work; one husband's dropped from 25 to 17 in about two months Natural conception after 40 requires real discipline, less room for alcohol, dietary lapses, or disrupted sleep than in your 20s or 30s After 40, every cycle matters; most patients need 3 to 6 months of focused, tested work before deciding on next steps Going into IVF blindly out of fear can cause more harm than good; get tested and optimize your health first About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've ever wondered why "family planning" in the US almost never means help getting pregnant, this episode is for you. 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 medications Many federal programs began in the 1970s under a health equity banner, but archival research reveals more complex motives Most states don't mandate infertility insurance coverage, and where it exists, it's often gated behind years of trying Medicaid excludes ovulation-stimulating medications, and newer programs like TrumpRx exclude Medicaid recipients entirely France, Poland, and Estonia offer far more generous fertility support, some funding up to six IVF cycles Len argues policy should prioritize "wantedness," not income, since that's what actually predicts better outcomes for children About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Rather than approaching declining birth rates solely from a medical or cultural lens, he helps audiences understand how factors like housing affordability, childcare costs, economic insecurity, healthcare access, and workplace pressures increasingly influence whether and when people feel able to start families. His research-driven perspective adds important context to today’s conversations around fertility and reproductive choices, helping listeners connect personal experiences to broader systemic trends in a thoughtful, accessible way.

Episode Summary If you just found out you're pregnant, or you're getting ready to start trying, this episode is for you. 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 pregnancy Conventional standards accept progesterone above 10, but levels above 20 offer better support Don't stop progesterone when a trimester ends; wait until testing confirms the placenta has taken over Struggled to conceive? Underlying issues can resurface during pregnancy, so more monitoring helps, not less No symptoms doesn't mean no risk; some complications only show up through testing Catching problems early through regular testing helps prevent emergencies later in pregnancy About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've been struggling to get through the two-week wait every single month, or you've been stuck in this cycle for months without answers, this episode is for you. 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 it Early pregnancy and PMS symptoms feel nearly identical, especially without close cycle tracking Warm, easy-to-digest foods support uterine blood flow, since digestion and reproduction share the same cavity Stress converts progesterone into cortisol, testosterone, or estrogen, so managing stress protects it Doing one or two things intentionally beats trying every tip at once After 3-4 months of trying, it's time to test, not keep optimizing, that's information, not bad luck About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've been taking supplement after supplement while trying to conceive and you're still not sure what's actually working, this episode is for you. 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 them More isn't automatically better; higher doses, more products, or advanced delivery methods aren't the goal on their own Following influencer or research recommendations without your own context, genetics, or testing rarely translates to real results Testing before supplementing lets you address root cause instead of just chasing symptoms Not all supplements are created equal; brand quality, formulation, and even fillers can determine whether something actually works for you About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you're navigating a health crisis and a family-building journey at the same time, this episode is for you. 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 well Tracking fertility signs for years before trying to conceive builds real body literacy, not just the months leading up to it Standard progesterone reference ranges are often too low; NAPRO practitioners look for levels above 20, not just above 10 The right partner matters for fertility in ways that go beyond biology; nervous system safety and regulation play a real role Constant testing and monitoring brings some people peace and creates anxiety for others; knowing which one you are matters Diet, lifestyle basics, and finding the right partner mattered more to Anna's outcome than any single supplement or protocol About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've been struggling to conceive for more than two or three years and no one has been able to pin down the root cause, this episode is for you. 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 issues There's a specific order to clear infections, biggest to smallest: worms and parasites first, then mold, bacteria, and viral last Herx reactions above a six out of ten for more than three days mean the body is being pushed too hard, not healing properly Each symptom points to something specific; low energy suggests mitochondrial or methylation support is needed; brain fog suggests neurotoxic load Biofilm disruption matters; without it, pathogens can survive months of treatment while still hiding in the body Partner testing is essential; couples often pass the same infections back and forth without realizing it About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you have PCOS and you're tired of being told to just take inositol or lose weight without anyone explaining why none of it is working, this episode is for you. 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 begins About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you have endometriosis and you're feeling overwhelmed trying to understand the root cause, the testing, and your actual treatment options, this episode is for you. 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, too Cutting out a lesion surgically doesn't address the root cause, which is why endometriosis often comes back There are two types of testing that matter: those that show how endo is impacting your body, and those that reveal the actual root cause Partner testing matters, especially for microbiome imbalances and DNA fragmentation, since couples share microbial exposure About six months of testing and prep before surgery or IVF can prevent spending on a procedure that may not have even been necessary About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've ever felt like your life looked fine on paper, but something in your nervous system still felt off, this episode is for you. 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 performance Resistance in a process can mean you have the wrong team, not that you just need to wait longer A regulated nervous system determines how present you can be for your family and your patients Big life decisions often take longer and cost more than expected, and can still be worth it Nothing changes about the practice, fully virtual care continues for patients in Canada and the US In-person couples' retreats are being planned for the next one to two years About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you’re already working with a naturopath, integrative, or functional medicine doctor and you’re still not pregnant after a year (or more), this episode is for you. 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 results About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you're about to start IVF, you've already done a round or two that didn't work, and you're wondering if your body is broken, this episode is for you. 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 time IVF is a tool, not a plan, your results depend on what you do before, during, and after the cycle Metabolically healthy women need far less medication to get great retrieval results Nothing new on race day, stimulation is not the time to add detoxes or experimental supplements Progesterone levels should be tested, not assumed, guessing is not a protocol What got you pregnant keeps you pregnant, early pregnancy still needs active support About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

Episode Summary If you've been trying for years, his sperm looks fine on paper, and you still can't get pregnant, this episode is for you. 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 semen Infertile couples share roughly half of the same predominant bacterial species between partners Organisms like E. coli, Gardnerella, and Candida can silently damage sperm DNA without a single symptom Treating only the woman for BV or yeast will fail if his seminal microbiome is never tested You are each other's environment. Real progress only happens when both partners are tested and treated at the same time Unexplained infertility is not unexplained for every couple.
