Healthy As A Mother

#140: You’ll Never Conceive Until You Do This (The Top Fertility Killers)


Listen Later

Womanhood Wellness is where functional medicine meets feminine wisdom—guiding you to balance hormones, awaken libido, and prepare for pregnancy with intention. Join today.


Why do some women who “do everything right” still struggle to get pregnant?


There are five hidden fertility factors most doctors never mention, things like infections you can’t feel but quietly sabotage your chances, how your immune system might be attacking instead of protecting, and what your nervous system has to do with conception.


This episode is not another checklist of supplements or labs. It’s a deeper look at what your body’s really trying to tell you, and how to start listening.


You’ll Learn:



[00:00] Introduction

[02:31] The hidden infections silently impacting fertility and why your doctor might miss them

[08:04] How autoimmunity quietly disrupts conception and what to test for

[10:34] The surprising role of your nervous system in signaling whether it’s safe to get pregnant

[17:57] The feminine energy imbalance that blocks fertility

[20:42] How toxin overload and poor detox pathways create a hidden barrier to conception

[26:05] Where to find deeper support for uncovering your hidden fertility blocks
