Episode 4: Thyroid, Gut, and Cortisol, Oh My! What These Things Have to Do with Fertility


Listen Later

If you’ve only looked at your ovaries, you’re missing the bigger picture. In this episode, Kelsey breaks down how your thyroid, gut, and cortisol response impact ovulation, egg quality, hormone metabolism—and your entire experience of trying to conceive. 

You’ll learn what to ask for, what symptoms to track, and how these three systems are quietly running the show behind every “unexplained” case.


We cover:

  • Why your thyroid might be “fine” but still causing problems
  • How gut health affects estrogen, immunity, and egg development
  • What cortisol actually does to ovulation
  • Why these systems are connected (and what to do about it)
  • The labs and symptoms to track right now
