Ep 85: Why Healthy, Type-A Women Struggle to Get Pregnant—and What to Do Instead


Listen Later

In this solo episode, Lindsey gets real about why the conventional fertility model isn’t built for the high-achieving, fit, Type A woman struggling with a missing or irregular period. If you're eating clean, working out, and doing everything right—but still not ovulating—this episode is for you.

You’ll hear:

  • Lindsey’s personal fertility story and how she got pregnant naturally—three times—after being told IVF was her only option

  • Why a "normal" BMI, healthy labs, and regular workouts don’t mean your body is hormonally ready for pregnancy

  • How under-fueling and overtraining can silently sabotage your fertility, even if you look healthy on the outside

  • The research behind body fat, energy availability, and ovulation—and why increasing your intake might be the key

  • Why IVF may not be the golden ticket (and what to do before going that route)

  • The exact 4-part framework our team uses to help clients restore cycles and get pregnant naturally inside the Food Freedom Fertility Society

💡 Whether you’ve been told IVF is your only option or you just know something deeper is going on, this episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and hopeful.
