August 10 Ep 154 | Insulin resistance and fertility: 6 ways to balance blood sugar naturally ( with or without PCOS /PMOS)
You got the diagnosis. They handed you metformin. And you either felt awful
on it, or you're sitting there wondering if there's another way — and nobody's
told you what else you can actually do.
Insulin is a hormone, girl. Just like progesterone and estrogen. Which means
it's sitting right in the middle of your hormone balance whether anyone
mentioned it to you or not.
In this episode, you'll learn the six-step roadmap to balance your blood sugar
naturally, how to get real data on your own body instead of guessing from what
the internet told you, and the supplement one study found outperformed
metformin in women with PCOS.

July 27Ep 152 | How gut health impacts your fertility with Danielle Goobie
If you've been told your labs are "normal" and you're still stuck — I think this episode is going to click something into place for you.
I sat down with Danielle Goobie, registered holistic nutritionist and GI Map specialist, to talk about the connection nobody's checking: your gut. We talk about why eating clean isn't the same as absorbing what you eat, why your hormones might be getting stuck in a recirculation loop instead of leaving your body, and how you can get support and answers.

In this episode, you'll learn what to actually pray for when you're asking God for confirmation, why your job might be quietly working against your fertility, and why more testing isn't the answer you think it is.

SAVE YOUR SEAT FOR THE LIVE WORKSHOP

Are you the type who makes a pros and cons list before making any decision? Who needs to know the success rate, the statistics, the logical path forward before you take a single step? Girl, same. But what if that's the very thing standing between you and your miracle? In this episode, Tori shares what God has been working on her heart — that he doesn't live in practical, because practical doesn't leave room for his glory.
You'll learn why getting pregnant naturally is possible no matter what your doctor said, why God consistently chooses the least practical path to show his power, and what it looks like to pray as much as you analyze.
