Kela Smith is a Hormones Coach based in Nashville, Tennessee. She has developed a special method coined the Hormone Puzzle Method to help women achieve optimal fertility & overall wellness through diet and other lifestyle factors. She has authored two books, The Hormone Puzzle Method & The Hormone Puzzle Method Cookbook. I personally own the cookbook & what I love about it is it’s approachable, simple & delicious.

As we all know, there are not many male voices speaking out about fertility, much less about male factor infertility (MFI).

Wes Matheney & his wife have been on their MFI journey for quite some time. Recently, he decided to speak out about their struggles & we are all lucky he did! He hosts his own podcast, "Detour to Becoming Dad" & also runs his Instagram account, @detourtodad.

The male perspective is all something we should educate ourselves on to be better female partners on this journey.

Life happens, infertility makes us frazzled & in this episode, Alex and I (mainly me) show just what a shit show we can be. Excuse the disruptions and technical difficulties - I promise we get to the good stuff. On this episode, we talk about how friendships are affected when you are struggling with your fertility. How they change, how to save them, how to embrace them in a unique way and how to communicate so you don't alienate yourself. And of course, NEW ONES come about!
