Fertility Starts Before You Try: Building the Foundations for a Healthy Pregnancy


Listen Later

Fertility isn’t just about conceiving, it’s a reflection of how safe and supported your body feels!

In this episode of The Dallas Duo Podcast, hosts Andrea Overturf (@andreaaoverturf) and Whitney Stuart (@whitnessnutrition) sit down with Dora Toma, functional medicine health coach and founder of Fertility to Wellness, to discuss how nutrition, minerals, gut health, and nervous system regulation all play a crucial role in fertility and overall wellness.

Dora shares her deeply personal journey — from loss and healing to helping women prepare their bodies for pregnancy through her Foundations for Fertility and Wellness program. She explains how modern women can take charge of their fertility by focusing on nourishment, nervous system balance, and understanding what their body truly needs to feel “safe” to conceive.

💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why fertility is about whole-body wellness, not just reproductive health
  • How mineral and gut imbalances impact hormones and conception
  • What “foundations for fertility” really means (and why it starts long before pregnancy)
  • How to regulate your nervous system and support your body through stress
  • What functional testing like hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) can reveal about your health

✨ Whether you’re trying to conceive, recovering postpartum, or simply want to feel more balanced, this conversation reframes fertility as an act of wellness, not just waiting.
