E85: Fertility Series | The Misconceptions Surrounding Fertility with Dr. Heather Rhodes (Part 1)
10/29/23 • 32 min
Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, I have my friend, Dr. Heather Rhodes back in the studio with me, and we’re talking about fertility.
I feel like infertility has essentially become an epidemic in the world of hormones today. It doesn’t help that there is so much hidden in the conversation when we're going to typical doctors, or when we're not getting the right resources to understand our bodies. So today, we’re going to dive into what some of those big misconceptions surrounding fertility are.
You're going to hear us come back to some of the topics that I talk about all the time, especially metabolism and nourishment. In this episode:
- [04:50] Educating and empowering women about their bodies and their fertility systems
- [10:15] One of the first steps on your fertility journey is understanding your body’s ovulation cycle
- [13:45] The side effects and impact of using medication to ovulate
- [18:49] The lack of transparency around the options for women struggling to get pregnant
- [22:24] How metabolism and proper nourishment affect your fertility
