EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, I unpack the often-missed microbe Ureaplasma and its deep impact on fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and even how women feel in their own bodies. From infertility and recurrent loss to preterm birth and neurodevelopmental issues in babies, the research is clear, this infection matters. I walk you through the latest science, how to test for it properly (including what most doctors miss), and what a truly effective treatment plan looks like- including antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials, and deep nervous system and energetic work. We’ll also explore why this bug can hold emotional trauma, how it connects to experiences of disconnection, and what it really means to heal - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This is not your standard infection protocol. It’s a reframe of what’s possible when you treat the whole woman, not just her labs.

Individualized care is essential for effective treatment of chronic fertility issues.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nicole Smith to unpack PCOS through both clinical science and lived experience. We explore how PCOS often develops years before diagnosis, why so many women are dismissed despite clear symptoms, and how PCOS is not just an ovarian condition, but one that starts in the brain. We walk through early warning signs, the most important testing to consider, and why intuition, history, and data all matter when treating PCOS properly. This conversation is a powerful reminder that PCOS is not a life sentence and with the right approach, the body can absolutely heal.

About My Guest

As a lawyer, I didn't think I would end up devoting years of my life uncovering how to be a healthy, fully functioning human being. Yet, within my family we've tackled mold illness, thyroid disease (Hashimoto), parasites, heavy metal toxicity, leaky gut, and more-all without traditional medicine (although it has its place when needed). Just when I thought I had it all figured out, in came perimenopause! I realized it was time to get back to work to heal myself!

Individualized care is essential for effective treatment of chronic fertility issues.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the unconventional - yet highly effective - approach I use in practice to help couples conceive and build lasting health. I share six bold ways my team and I are redefining fertility care, including why I no longer recommend prenatals or fish oils, don’t treat based on age or research alone, and never prescribe supplements without testing first. You’ll also hear why I always include the male partner in care, even when his sperm is considered “normal.” If you’ve been following generic advice that isn’t moving the needle, this episode will show you what’s likely missing, and how to move forward with more clarity and confidence. My mission is to empower you to heal deeply, conceive naturally, and build generational health from the ground up.

Individualized care is essential for effective treatment of chronic fertility issues.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with practitioner Katie Redding to unpack one of the most frustrating patterns we see in our practice - women feeling stuck, spinning their wheels, and not getting anywhere on their fertility journey. We explore the root causes of this "hamster wheel" dynamic, including mistrust of practitioners, fragmented testing, and unhealed trauma patterns that lead to self-reliance and burnout. We also share clinical insights on what’s often missed in conventional care and why having a personalized strategy is the missing piece. If you’re feeling exhausted, stuck, or overwhelmed by conflicting advice, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and clear next steps.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, Dr. Jane sits down with Dr. Elissa Chambers to unpack the vagus nerve, nervous system regulation, and how all of it connects to fertility. From breathwork and yoga to ear massages and emotional healing, they explore how low vagal tone shows up in digestion, hormones, sleep, and stress and how to build it back up. You’ll also hear how beliefs like “resting makes me lazy” can keep your body stuck in overdrive, and why slowing down is often the hardest but most powerful medicine. They share real patient examples, daily practices, and one-liners you’ll want to write down. If you’re tired of being told to “just relax,” this episode gives you the science and strategy behind why that advice actually matters.

Individualized care is essential for the effective treatment of chronic fertility issues.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, Dr. Nicole and I talk about the very real emotional and social challenges that come up around the holidays when you’re on a fertility journey. From navigating food and family pressure, to handling pregnancy announcements and setting boundaries - this conversation is here to support you through it all. We also touch on how to protect your nervous system, connect more deeply to your “why,” and give yourself permission to slow down and enjoy the season on your own terms.

Individualized care is essential for effective treatment of chronic fertility issues.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, I walk you through a complex fertility case involving a couple who had “done everything” - IVF, detox protocols, clean living, endless supplements, yet still weren’t making progress. I break down the real reasons they were stuck, including overlooked methylation issues, heavy metal toxicity, microbiome imbalances, and the emotional stress that was impacting their nervous systems. I share how we approached their case differently, what shifted once we had the right data, and how quickly the body can change when you address the actual root causes. If you’ve been spinning your wheels or told to “just keep trying,” this episode will show you what’s possible when fertility care becomes both strategic and deeply personalized.
