Faith Over Pharma | Fertility After Vasectomy Reversal, Holistic Fertility & Hormone Health

Have you ever been told there was no hope? Maybe it was a diagnosis. Maybe it was a failed semen analysis after vasectomy reversal. Maybe it was low motility, zero sperm, poor morphology, or a doctor telling you IVF was your only realistic option. In this episode, I’m joined by cousins LaVonne Chastain and Gaylynn Kapri for a story that speaks to anyone walking through fear, grief, uncertainty, or...

Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, navigating fertility challenges, or trying to conceive after vasectomy reversal, you've probably heard some version of the message: "Just lose weight."

What if your symptoms aren't the problem? What if they're actually your body's way of telling you that something deeper is out of balance? Too often, we're taught to look at health through the lens of diagnosis and symptom management. Low energy? Take this. Hormone imbalance? Try that. Fertility struggles? Let's jump straight to intervention. But what happens when treating the symptom never actual...

In this episode, I’m joined by Autumn McLees, host of Know Better | Do Better and a bold voice in the holistic health space.

Trying to conceive can affect so much more than your body. It can start to change the way you relate to each other too. What begins as hope and excitement can slowly turn into pressure, stress, and disconnection, especially when intimacy starts to feel more scheduled than natural. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Trina Read, Canadian sexologist and relationship expert, for an honest conversation...

If you’ve been told that your chances of getting pregnant after 40 are “slim to none,” this episode is going to challenge everything you thought you knew about fertility and age. In this conversation, I’m joined by Tori Black, registered nurse and natural fertility coach, and we’re diving into one of the biggest narratives women are up against—especially in their late 30s and 40s. The idea that yo...

For years, women have been praised for under-eating, over-exercising, ignoring their hunger, and calling it “discipline.” Diet culture dressed deprivation up as health and convinced women that being smaller was the goal, even if it came at the expense of their hormones, metabolism, peace, and relationship with food. In this episode, I’m joined by Coryn Brown and Crysanne Clay of the Her Healthy Bo...

What happens when what you’ve been told about your health… doesn’t align with what God is speaking? So many women are given a diagnosis—and without even realizing it, they begin to build their life around it. They adjust their expectations. They lower what they believe is possible. They start living from a place of fear instead of faith. But what if that diagnosis was never meant to have the final...

Perimenopause has been so demonized that many women expect to feel terrible and assume it is just part of getting older. But what if that is not the full story? In this episode, I’m breaking down what the research actually shows about menstrual cycle changes in perimenopause and why the biggest shifts may happen later than many women have been led to believe. We’re also talking about why hormones...

Think you know when you’re ovulating? If you’re tracking your cycle, using LH strips, and timing everything—but it’s still not happening—there’s a good chance you’re missing your fertile window – without realizing it. In this episode, I break down what ovulation actually looks like, what ovulation tests really       measure, and why so many women get their timing wrong—even when they’re trying. A...

So many women quietly carry the same question: What’s wrong with me? Why am I exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling like my body and life are working against me… even when I’m doing everything “right”? When you’ve spent years being the strong one, taking care of everyone else, and pushing through hard seasons, it’s easy to lose touch with who you really are. In this episode, I sit down with author A...

What if modern medicine isn’t neutral about family building? What if it’s incredibly efficient at preventing pregnancy — but surprisingly unprepared to restore it? In this episode, I unpack what hormonal birth control and vasectomy actually do to your hormones and reproductive health. We’re talking ovulation suppression, progesterone loss, SHBG elevation, nutrient depletion, antisperm antibodies,...

Low AMH has become one of the most feared lab results in women’s health. Many women are told their ovarian reserve is diminished and that time is running out. But does low AMH actually prevent natural conception? In this episode, we unpack what Anti-Müllerian Hormone really measures and what it doesn’t. AMH was designed to estimate ovarian response during IVF stimulation — not to determine whether...

What happens when you’re living somewhere beautiful… doing all the “right” things… and still battling fear you can’t explain? In this honest and layered conversation, I sit down with Danoucha Reynon to talk about severe PTSD, panic attacks, and what it was like to be told medication was the primary — and possibly lifelong — solution. This episode is not about shaming medication. It’s about asking...

Peptides are everywhere right now. Injectable copper peptides. Synthetic GHK-Cu. Stem cell therapy. Regenerative medicine. Anti-aging biohacks. But when everyone is pushing injections, it’s worth asking: Are we supporting the body… or overriding it? In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Walstrom to break down the difference between injectable peptides and LifeWave X39 phototherapy — and how signal...

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” — but you’re still not pregnant — this episode is for you. This conversation unpacks why unexplained infertility is so common and why that label often reflects incomplete testing rather than a body that isn’t working. Dr. Katie Wood, a pharmacist-turned holistic fertility practitioner, shares how experiencing fertility care from both sides of the syste...

Many women reach a point where healthy habits stop producing healthy results. Labs may come back “normal,” routines look solid on paper, and yet the body feels stuck, reactive, or worse than before. In this episode, I explore why that happens — and why healing often stalls when wellness is built on control instead of awareness. We’ve been taught that discipline is the answer, but discipline withou...

Hormone imbalance, chronic fatigue, inflammation, fertility challenges, and lingering symptoms are often dismissed or normalized when test re...
