What if your bloating, bowels, or other stomach symptoms were more than just a nuisance—and were actually holding you back from getting pregnant or having regular cycles? On this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explores how gut health can silently sabotage fertility and reproductive hormones. From the gut-immune-hormone axis to the estrobolome, we break down what the science actually says about GI symptoms, inflammation, and their link to conditions like endometriosis, PCOS, and even miscarriage risk.

You'll hear Wendy’s story—a night-shift nurse whose infertility journey turned around after treating gut inflammation—and walk away with practical, hopeful strategies to improve your gut and your cycle. We’ll also explain the role of testing, including looking for bacterial overgrowth and food sensitivities, and how Restorative Reproductive Medicine can help women restore hormonal health from the inside out.

You’ve likely heard the term “restorative reproductive medicine,” especially if you’ve been following our podcast or searching for real answers to your menstrual or fertility challenges. But what does “restorative” really mean—and how do you know if the care you're receiving actually qualifies?

·       Why many medical systems default to the pill or IVF

·       What makes restorative care fundamentally different

·       The role of hormone timing, ovulation support, and full-body diagnosis

·       Why education and empowerment are at the center of healing

What if the pill you were given to help you ovulate wasn’t actually helping—or even making things worse—and no one was checking? In today’s episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur reveals the often-overlooked truth about ovulation stimulation with medications like Clomid and Letrozole. You’ll hear Hope’s story—a 29-year-old nurse frustrated by impersonal care and harsh side effects—and how a personalized, restorative approach helped her conceive naturally.

Dr. Minjeur explains how conventional care often relies on guesswork and outdated protocols, while restorative reproductive medicine uses real-time hormone data, follicular ultrasound tracking, and individualized care plans to optimize ovulation and minimize risk. If you’ve ever felt lost in the fertility process or pressured to "just take a pill," this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Cycle Wisdom with Dr. Monica Minjeur. In this episode, we’re diving deep into a diagnosis that can feel like a door slamming shut—Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), sometimes called early menopause. If you’ve ever been told your AMH is undetectable or your only option is donor eggs, this episode is for you.

We begin with Olivia’s powerful story—misdiagnosed, dismissed, and then restored through the compassionate care of Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM). Her journey from hopelessness to holding her healthy baby girl is a testament to what’s possible.

Dr. Minjeur explains:

• What POI really means (and what it doesn’t)
• Why AMH is not the final word
• How cycle tracking and bioidentical hormone support can uncover hidden potential
• The role of low-dose naltrexone and how RRM digs deeper when conventional care stops short
• And yes—pregnancy is still possible, even with POI

If you've been told there's nothing more to do, this episode offers a different story—one grounded in evidence, compassion, and hope.

Have you ever felt like your symptoms were dismissed or your fertility struggles minimized? In this episode, Dr. Monica Minjeur shares what Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) really is—and why it’s the missing piece for so many women facing cycle issues, hormone imbalances, and infertility. Through Patricia’s story, you'll hear how RRM transformed her journey from frustration and confusion to empowerment and healing. You'll learn how RRM treats root causes instead of masking symptoms, how it compares to conventional options like IVF, and why it deserves to be a first-line approach—not a last resort.

What if your menstrual cycle held the answers to your hormone health, fertility, and stress—all in one place?

In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur explores how fertility awareness methods (FAM) give women powerful insight into their health, far beyond trying to conceive. You'll hear Lila’s story of coming off birth control, struggling with irregular cycles, and finally finding clarity through charting.

Dr. Minjeur explains how cycle tracking can reveal issues like low progesterone, PCOS, thyroid imbalances, and even the impact of stress. She also discusses the importance of working with a trained fertility awareness instructor to learn how to track fertile signs and why personalized instruction makes all the difference.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused by your symptoms, or unsure if your hormones are really “off,” this episode will help you connect the dots—clearly and confidently.

In this episode, Dr. Monica Minjeur dives deep into why ovulation is far more than just a fertility tool—it's a powerful monthly indicator of your overall health. You'll hear Gloria’s inspiring story of how restoring her ovulation transformed her energy, mood, and ultimately helped her conceive naturally after years of irregular cycles.

Dr. Minjeur explains:

• How ovulation acts as a “monthly report card” for hormonal, brain, bone, and heart health
• Why missing ovulation can signal deeper health issues like thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, or lifestyle imbalances
• The critical role of progesterone for emotional regulation, sleep, bone strength, and cardiovascular protection
• Why using birth control to “regulate cycles” often masks—not fixes—underlying issues
• How we at Radiant Clinic approach cycle restoration with charting, targeted lab work, nutrition, lifestyle support, and bioidentical hormones when needed

If your cycles are irregular or you’re unsure if you’re ovulating, don't wait for bigger problems to emerge. Ovulation is a vital sign—and you deserve real answers.

This week, in honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, I’m sharing something deeply personal—my own infertility story.

Infertility doesn’t care how carefully you’ve planned, how many degrees you’ve earned, or how responsible you’ve been. It shows up quietly, painfully, and often without answers. For years, I walked through unexplained infertility—while working in medicine, while helping others, while hearing “just keep trying” from professionals who didn’t see the full picture.

In this episode, I share:

• 📊 The big-picture stats on infertility and miscarriage—and why so many couples feel unseen
• 💔 The emotional toll of unanswered infertility, including guilt, grief, and the sting of insensitive advice
• 🧪 How restorative reproductive medicine helped uncover the root causes that traditional care missed
• 🌱 The healing journey—physical and emotional—that led to three full-term pregnancies
• 🔥 Why this personal experience drives my mission at Radiant Clinic to offer a better way forward

Whether you're in the waiting, the wondering, or the heartache—I want you to know:
 You're not alone. You’re not broken. There is hope.
