In this fascinating episode, Dr. B breaks down the complex concept of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance—how the experiences, exposures, and lifestyle choices we make today can impact not just our children, but our grandchildren's health as well. This conversation explores the ultimate form of preventative medicine and empowers listeners with actionable steps to positively influence future generations.
After overcoming severe mold exposure that triggered the loss of her first pregnancy, Dr. Cummings began researching overlooked causes of pregnancy and lingering postpartum symptoms, such as mold, parasites, and reactivated viral infections. She formed a practice solely focused on support from preconception through the fourth trimester and even coined a term—pan-natal®—to describe the comprehensive attention she believes all people deserve. Her busy practice currently welcomes those in any stage of preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum, with a special focus on chronic, unexplained symptoms.
Key Topics Discussed:
What is Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance?How experiences, toxins, and triggering events can alter genetic expressionThe concept that our eggs were present in our grandmother's wombHistorical evidence from the Dutch Hunger Winter studiesWhy this represents the "ultimate preventative medicineFoundational Health Strategies:

Most women are told to “try Mucinex” when struggling with cervical mucus—yet this common advice is based on flawed logic and outdated assumptions. 😳 In this episode, I explain why Mucinex doesn't work for most women who are trying to conceive and what you can do instead to naturally increase fertile cervical mucus—without drugs that were never designed for fertility in the first place.

Struggling with fertility? The answer might be hiding in an unexpected place: your gut! 🤯 In this deep dive, we uncover how your digestive health is intimately connected to your ability to conceive and carry a healthy pregnancy.
Join me as I'm joined with Margaret Floyd Barry. The author of Eat Naked and The Naked Foods Cookbook, she successfully reversed her own autoimmune condition using the same therapeutic strategies she now applies with clients. A passionate marathon runner, she celebrated her 50th birthday by running 50 miles. Originally from Canada, she now lives just outside of Boston with her husband James, their two daughters, Sia and Sasha, as well as a dog and a cat. She also serves as the Executive Director of Restorative Wellness Solutions, an organization with over 1,300 alumni.
So often overlooked, gut health can be a critical piece of the fertility puzzle for both men and women. We'll explore:
✅ The 5 Key Connections: Discover exactly how nutrient absorption, hormone balance, inflammation, hidden infections (like H. pylori!), and overall gut ecology impact your reproductive health.
✅ Why Stool Testing is CRUCIAL: Learn about a specific stool test (like the GI Map) that can reveal vital clues your body is trying to give you – even if you have NO digestive symptoms!
✅ Beyond Probiotics: Understand why just taking a probiotic isn't enough and what a comprehensive gut-healing approach for fertility truly entails.
✅ Specific Pathogens & Markers: We discuss H. pylori's surprising link to male fertility (low testosterone, poor sperm motility) and how certain bacteria can disrupt your hormones (hello, estrogen dominance!).
✅ Actionable Insights: Learn about key dietary triggers (like gluten) and supportive strategies to address digestive dysfunction and reduce inflammation.
If you're looking for answers and ready to explore a powerful, often-missed avenue for boosting your fertility, this video is a must-watch! We'll explain why healing your gut isn't just a preliminary step—it's an INTEGRAL part of your fertility journey.

Are you on your TTC (trying to conceive) journey and suspect that something’s off—but no one’s giving you answers? You’ve heard of progesterone and maybe even been told to take it, but what if I told you that low progesterone isn't the root problem? That’s right—if you’re dealing with short cycles, spotting before your period, or early miscarriages, this video is for YOU.
Today we’re diving deep into luteal phase defect (LPD)—a little-known but incredibly common fertility challenge that can make implantation difficult and raise your risk of early pregnancy loss. The truth? Fixing it takes way more than a hormone prescription.

If you’ve ever walked into a health food store or Googled “natural fertility supplements,” chances are you’ve heard of Vitex, also known as Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus-castus). It’s one of the most widely recommended herbs for fertility—but what if I told you that most women use it wrong and end up wasting precious time on their TTC journey?

👩⚕️ What You’ll Learn in This episode:✅ How Vitex actually works (hint: it’s all about your brain, not your ovaries)
✅ The fertility conditions it's clinically proven to help:
• Luteal phase defects
• Mildly elevated prolactin
• Stress- or birth-control-related cycle irregularities
✅ Who should never take it (including most women with PCOS and estrogen dominance)
✅ Correct timing and dosing protocols for best results
✅ Why most over-the-counter Vitex supplements don’t work
✅ Common mistakes that sabotage Vitex’s effectiveness
✅ Safer alternatives for PCOS, estrogen dominance, and thyroid-related fertility issues
✅ How one of my patients regulated her cycles and conceived without Vitex—by addressing her real issue: insulin resistance
🧪 Backed by ResearchThis isn’t just anecdotal advice. You’ll see the latest clinical trials, published studies, and fertility journal data that show how Chase Tree supports ovulation, boosts progesterone, and improves cycle regularity—for the right person.
💡 Key Insight: Vitex is NOT a one-size-fits-all herb. If you have PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or are on hormonal meds, this herb could actually make things worse. Know before you dose.

Been curious about menstrual cups? Join in this insightful discussion as Sivaranjani Ganapathy shares her decade-long experience, revealing not just the ease and comfort (say goodbye to rashes and hello to tummy-sleeping freedom!), but also a less-talked-about aspect: how menstrual cups can sometimes show changes in your period blood.
Sivaranjani Ganapathy’s health journey has been deeply personal and transformative. She was diagnosed with PCOD and faced unexplained infertility, undergoing conventional treatments for two years. These included follicular studies (both with and without medications), failed IUI procedures, and ultimately being offered IVF as the only remaining option.
A miscarriage following a spontaneous conception became a pivotal moment—it showed her that conception was possible, but sustaining the pregnancy was the challenge. This insight led her to shift her approach. By tuning into her body and trusting its signals, she was able to conceive naturally—twice—without medical intervention.
The process required deep unlearning and working through emotional trauma. Today, Sivaranjani is dedicated to helping other women reconnect with their bodies, release emotional stagnation, and realign with their feminine energy to support healthy menstruation and enhance fertility.
Dive deep into the concept of "stagnation" – that darker period blood and clots – and explore practical, gentle methods to encourage healthy flow.
Discover:
Simple Self-Care Rituals: Learn step-by-step instructions for a gentle uterus massage you can do at home (when not on your period!) to support healthy circulation.The Power of Castor Oil Packs: Uncover how castor oil packs can be a powerful tool for addressing stagnation (with important considerations if you're planning pregnancy!).Easy Acupressure Points: Find out specific acupressure points on your hands that you can gently press or use with magnets or seeds to support your uterus and ovaries.The Liver Connection: Understand the surprising role your liver plays in period health and learn a simple acupressure point to support liver detoxification.But this isn't just about the physical! Explore the fascinating connection between your emotions and your menstrual cycle.
Discover how:
Unprocessed Emotions: Anger, frustration, fear, and deeply held patterns of shame or the need for validation can manifest as period discomfort and stagnation.Chakra Insights: Get a brief introduction to the chakra system and how imbalances in your root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras can be linked to physical issues.A Quick Chakra Check-in: Participate in a simple color association exercise to gain potential insights into which energy centers might need your attention.If you've tried everything for period issues without lasting relief, this episode encourages you to consider the often-overlooked emotional landscape. Learn about simple practices like guided meditations, frequency music, journaling, and bodywork that can support emotional release and positively impact your period health.
Plus, get valuable insights into maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome, especially if you're using menstrual cups or on a fertility journey. Discover signs of imbalance and simple ways to support your vaginal flora through probiotics.
Whether you're a long-time menstrual cup user, struggling with period discomfort, or curious about the holistic connection between your body and emotions, this episode offers practical tips and a fresh perspective on nurturing your cycle.

Plastics are deeply woven into the fabric of our everyday lives—from the water bottles we sip from to the skincare products we apply, and even the yoga pants we wear. But beneath this modern convenience lies an alarming truth: plastics are loaded with hormone-disrupting chemicals that may be sabotaging your fertility, energy, mood, and overall health.
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I share Elena's real-life story of how eliminating plastic exposure for just 30 days dramatically improved her hormone balance, energy, skin, and sleep—and ultimately helped her conceive naturally after 3 years of trying.
🔍 What You'll Learn:What endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like BPA, BPS, and phthalates are, and how they hijack your hormonesHow these toxins affect thyroid function, estrogen dominance, testosterone, prolactin, and moreWhy "BPA-free" doesn't mean safe—BPS and BPF may be worseWhy even low doses of plastic toxins can have a big impact—especially during key hormonal transitionsThe 3-phase detox plan Elena used: Kitchen, personal care, and hidden sourcesHer hormone lab results before and after the detoxHow reducing plastic exposure can enhance reproductive health, reduce PMS, and improve energy and sleep
📈 Elena’s Before & After Highlights:Metric Before and After 30 Days
Estrogen: Progesterone Ratio28:115:1 Prolactin24 mg/mL16 mg/mLTSH (Thyroid)3.8 µIU/mL2.7 µIU/mLFree Testosterone0.8 pg/mL1.3 pg/mLBPA in Urine—↓ 78%Phthalates in Urine—↓ 62%
🛠️ 5 High-Impact Plastic Swaps to Start Today:Plastic Water Bottles → Stainless or Glass + Home FilterPlastic Food Containers → Glass or Stainless (especially for hot/acidic foods)Nonstick Cookware → Cast Iron or CeramicPlastic-Packaged Skincare → Natural, fragrance-free alternativesCanned Foods with BPA Lining → Glass Jars or BPA-free Cans
🧪 Testing & Detox Support:Track improvements with hormone panels that include estrogen metabolitesConsider urine tests for BPA/phthalatesSupplements: NAC, calcium D-glucarate, DIM, B-complexSweat it out: Sauna therapy can support toxin release
💬 Final Takeaway:Elena’s story isn’t an outlier. While total plastic elimination isn’t realistic, small, strategic changes can create measurable improvements. The goal isn't perfection—it’s reducing your body’s toxic load so it can heal, balance, and thrive.

🤯 Could your dental health be the reason you’re struggling to get pregnant? You’ve optimized your diet, lifestyle, and hormones, yet conception still isn’t happening. The missing piece? Your mouth! 🦷👶
In this must-listen interview, Dr. Dome, one of the world’s leading biological dentists, shares jaw-dropping insights into how your oral health directly impacts your fertility—and why conventional dentists often overlook these crucial connections.
From a skateboarding teenager struggling with chronic health issues to finding healing through nutrition and holistic care, Dr Dome became the doctor he wished for 20 years ago.
Now, as a biological dentist, a father of four, and someone passionate about leading by example, Dr Dome runs a clinic, two supplement companies, and the Optimal Health Lounge, while teaching biological dentistry to dentists worldwide—all to help others discover that vibrant health truly starts in the mouth.
🔬 Key Topics Covered in This Episode:
✔️ How Root Canals & Cavitations Could Be Blocking Pregnancy – Learn how silent infections in your jaw can keep your body stuck in stress mode, preventing conception.
✔️ The Surprising Impact of Wisdom Tooth Extractions – If your wisdom teeth were removed, your body may have hidden chronic inflammation affecting your nervous system and hormones.
✔️ Mercury Fillings & Toxic Metals – How old-school dental work may be leaching harmful toxins into your system, disrupting hormones and fertility.
✔️ Chronic Stress & Your Nervous System – Why chronic inflammation in the mouth activates cortisol, leading to hormonal imbalances and infertility.
✔️ The Oral-Vaginal Microbiome Connection – How your mouth influences vaginal health and why infections in one area may impact the other.
✔️ How Biological Dentistry Can Optimize Your Fertility – The cutting-edge approach to removing toxic dental work safely and restoring your body's natural balance for optimal fertility.
🦷 Why This Matters:
Most people never consider their mouth as a key factor in fertility, but Dr. Dome has worked with countless women who conceived after addressing their oral health. If you’ve tried everything—from diet and supplements to hormone therapy—but still aren’t pregnant, this might be the missing piece of the puzzle!
✨ Success Stories:
Dr. Dome shares real-life cases of women who got pregnant within weeks or months after having their root canals removed, cavitations treated, or mercury fillings replaced with biocompatible materials. The results are astonishing!
📌 Resources & Next Steps:💡 Want to check if your dental health is affecting your fertility? Start by asking yourself:
🔹 Do I have any root canals, mercury fillings, or metal dental work?
🔹 Have I had my wisdom teeth removed?
🔹 Do I suffer from bleeding gums, jaw pain, or chronic sinus issues?
If you answered YES to any of these, it may be time to consult a biological dentist to investigate further.

The Shocking Truth About "Unexplained" Pregnancy Loss
What if I told you that up to 20% of recurrent pregnancy losses aren't actually unexplained—they're just undiagnosed?
In this episode, I share the heartbreaking story of my patient who endured FOUR consecutive miscarriages. Every single test came back "normal"—chromosomes, hormones, anatomy—everything. Then we discovered her immune system was literally attacking her pregnancies.
Hi! This is Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for 18 years with additional board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I'm the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of Egg Meets Sperm Podcast (a Top 5% podcast). As a 2x best-selling author of "Fertility Secrets" and "(in)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes," I've been recognized with awards including Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor (2015, 2020), Top Women in Medicine Doctor (2020, 2021), and Berkeley Hall of Fame (2022).
I've been interviewed on 100+ podcasts and featured as the Holistic Fertility Expert on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump. I've trained hundreds of practitioners worldwide in holistic fertility approaches and certified top doctors in my Fertile Foundations™ system. I'm the founder of Madre Fertility and Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade.
The Game-Changing DiscoveryHere's what most doctors never tell you: Your immune system's job is to attack foreign invaders, but during pregnancy, it must learn to tolerate your baby (who is genetically half foreign to your body). When this delicate balance goes wrong, it can sabotage your pregnancies—not your ability to conceive, but your ability to maintain them.
The 4 Hidden Immune SaboteursI reveal the four critical immune factors that could be destroying your pregnancies:
Overactive Natural Killer Cells (found in 44% of "unexplained" losses)Autoimmune Antibodies (causing up to 90% loss rates when untreated)Immune System Imbalance (staying in "attack mode" instead of "protect mode")Gut-Immune Connection (70% of your immune system lives in your gut!)
The Hope-Filled TruthHere's the incredible news: Women with immune-related pregnancy loss who receive proper treatment have a 70-80% live birth rate, compared to only 20% without treatment.
My patient with four losses? After identifying her immune imbalances and treating them with targeted protocols, she went on to have TWO healthy pregnancies.
What You'll LearnThe simple blood tests that could have caught this years earlierWhy standard pregnancy loss workups miss these factors entirelyBoth medical and natural treatment options that actually workThe exact questions to ask your doctor (don't leave empty-handed!)Red flags that suggest your immune system might be the culprit
Your Next StepsIf you've experienced recurrent pregnancy loss—especially between 6-10 weeks with "normal" test results—this episode could change everything for you. Your immune system doesn't have to be your enemy; it can become your greatest ally in creating and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
Ready to get answers instead of more heartbreak? This episode gives you the roadmap to finally understand what might be happening and what you can do about it.

I'm absolutely thrilled to have an incredible guest with me today - Dr. Leah Gordon, who is going to share her expertise on a topic many of you have been asking about.
Dr. Leah is a licensed naturopathic and functional medicine doctor who specializes in supporting women on their journey toward motherhood. Through her online platform, Womanhood Wellness™, she provides incredible guidance for women at every stage - whether you're breaking up with birth control, balancing hormones, preparing for pregnancy, trying to conceive naturally, or navigating infertility.
What makes Dr. Leah's perspective so valuable is that she combines her extensive medical knowledge with her own personal journey. She experienced hormonal struggles and went through a challenging 6-year journey with male-factor infertility that ultimately led to IVF. So she truly understands this path both professionally and personally.
Beyond her clinical work, she's also a founding formulator at Needed™, co-hosts the podcast Healthy As A Mother™, creates courses, and speaks regularly on women's health topics.
➡️ What you'll learn in this episode:
Overview of the lack of integrative and natural medicine support along with assisted reproduction (IUI, IVF)Importance of optimizing sperm regardless of doing IUI or IVF (contrary to what the industry says)In IVF, there are three phases of natural support: Before egg retrieval, healing after egg retrieval, and preparing before embryo transferMy recommended gap of time after egg retrieval before transfer, and why I recommend FET whenever possibleThe importance of fertility energetics, especially during IUI and IVF, and how to bring that inWe'll cover why optimizing sperm health matters tremendously (despite what many clinics might tell you), the three critical phases for natural support during IVF, the optimal timing between egg retrieval and transfer, and the often overlooked but powerful role of fertility energetics during these procedures.
I know this conversation will be incredibly valuable, whether you're currently going through fertility treatments or considering them in the future.
