In today’s episode of Reproductive Rebel, I sit down with Dr. Anju Mather, a functional medicine physician with a deep commitment to whole-person healing. Together, we explore the power of metabolic typing — a personalized approach to nutrition that honors your body’s unique biochemistry.

If you’ve ever struggled with diets that don’t seem to “work,” chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalances, or fertility frustrations, this episode will open new doors of possibility. Dr. Mather walks us through how understanding your metabolic type can change everything from your energy levels to your reproductive health.

We explore:

✨ The fundamentals of metabolic typing

✨ How it differs from trendy or restrictive diets

✨ Real-life impacts on menstrual cycles, fertility, and perimenopause

✨ Why personalized nutrition is critical for sustainable healing

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s ready to stop guessing — and start eating in a way that truly supports your body.

What if your fertility journey isn’t about what’s wrong with your body — but what your body is trying to protect?

In this powerful episode of Reproductive Rebel, we’re joined by trauma-informed coach and relationship expert Riana Milne for a deep dive into how unresolved childhood trauma silently impacts reproductive health. From stress hormone imbalances to subconscious self-protection mechanisms, we explore why the body often holds the score — and how to begin healing it.

Together, we break down:

• The 10 types of childhood trauma and how they show up in adulthood
• Why emotional safety is a key to conception
• How trauma can affect the nervous system, hormones, and fertility signals
• Somatic and inner child healing tools to rebuild trust with your body
• How to stop self-sabotage and create healthy relational dynamics during your fertility journey

This conversation is a call to compassion — for your younger self, your present body, and your future dreams.

Perimenopause is often painted as a problem to be fixed, silenced, or medicated away. But what if it’s something more sacred? What if the mood swings, the fatigue, the rage, the sleepless nights—are not signs of something wrong with you, but signs that something wants to rise within you?

In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, we peel back the veil on perimenopause and listen deeply to what the body is truly trying to say. This is the initiation that no one prepared you for—and the one that just might lead you back to your most powerful self.

Welcome to this episode of the Reproductive Rebel podcast, where we explore the wisdom your body remembers and the rituals that bring you home to yourself.

In today’s conversation, we’re diving into natural technologies—ancient, Earth-honoring practices that support optimal health in our modern, overstimulated world. If your hormones feel off, your nervous system is frazzled, or you just feel disconnected from your cycle, this episode is for you.

We’ll explore how grounding (earthing) and sun gazing are more than wellness buzzwords—they’re scientifically supported ways to regulate your nervous system, balance your circadian rhythm, reduce inflammation, and improve reproductive and hormonal health.

You’ll learn:

• 🌍 What grounding really is and why your bare feet are powerful tools for healing
• 🌞 How sun gazing supports melatonin, cortisol, and hormonal cycles (especially in women!)
• 🌀 How to rewire your system by reconnecting with nature’s rhythms
• 💡 Ways to bring these practices into your day—even if you live in a city or spend most of your time indoors

This is your invitation to reclaim your body’s relationship with the Earth and sky—no expensive gadgets, no complicated protocols. Just you, your breath, and the power of presence.

✨ Because your healing doesn’t live in your phone—it lives in your body.

In this eye-opening episode of Reproductive Rebel, we’re pulling back the curtain on polypharmacy—the all-too-common practice of prescribing multiple medications, often without cohesive oversight.

But what if there was another way?

Join your host, Adrienne Irizarry, as she explores how herbalists and pharmacists can co-create a more holistic, safe, and empowering approach to care. Discover how collaboration across disciplines isn’t just possible—it’s necessary for true healing.
