Don’t believe me? Here’s the evidence & receipts 🔬🧾

😶‍🌫️Fragrance & phthalates
Phthalate exposure is associated with lower testosterone and impaired s***m parameters (count, motility, morphology).
PMIDs: 12882953, 16517630

🔥Heat exposure (tight underwear, laptops, hot baths)
Increased scrotal temperature negatively affects s***matogenesis, s***m count, and motility.
PMID: 17645557

🍺Alcohol intake
Alcohol consumption is associated with reduced testosterone and abnormal semen quality, even at moderate levels.
PMID: 25224766

🍟Poor diet & low micronutrient intake
Low intake of key nutrients (from whole foods) is associated with higher oxidative stress and s***m DNA damage.
PMIDs: 22416008, 24852678

🧬Oxidative stress & s***m DNA fragmentation
Oxidative stress is a major driver of s***m DNA damage, which can impact fertility and early embryonic development.
PMID: 24852678

💤Sleep deprivation & stress
Restricted sleep lowers testosterone levels, which directly influences s***m production.
PMID: 21317185

Theres no need to point fingers. It’s important that both partners receive the information that we are never given or provided with.

S***m take ~74-90 days to regenerate.
What you do now matters a few months from now.

Save this, share it with your partner, or come back to it when TTC feels overwhelming.

Preconception care is often minimized to a supplemental recommendation. In reality, reproductive outcomes are shaped by metabolic health, nutrient status, nervous system, hormone signalling, YOUR PARTNERS HEALTH (🗣️), etc etc etc.

However, don’t let preconception prep stress you out. It shouldn’t be oversimplified or vague, but it can be simple and straightforward. You can seamlessly integrate it into your routine and it can feel manageable and practical. Which is precisely why I help women & couples do this in my practice (wink wink…) ✨

Evening habits matter for fertility because they change the signals your brain sends to your ovaries overnight.
Dim lights, blue light blocking glasses, reading instead of scrolling, magnesium, and warm, non–sun-mimicking lighting all support melatonin production and circadian rhythm alignment.
Melatonin is known as the sleep hormone, but that’s not all it does. It acts as an antioxidant in the ovaries and is involved in follicle development and luteal function. When nighttime light exposure is high, melatonin is suppressed, evening cortisol rises, and reproductive signaling can become disrupted.
These habits also support the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis by reducing evening stress signals and improving overnight LH and progesterone signalling. Ovulation and luteal phase health depend on timing and nervous system input, not just hormone levels on paper.
Magnesium further supports this process by calming the nervous system, improving sleep quality, and supporting progesterone responsiveness.
None of this is about being perfect, I definitely have off days where I doom scroll way too late and forget to put on the stylish red glasses. But at least giving your body some consistent nighttime cues can help it feel safe to rest, repair, and reproduce.
Fertility is influenced as much by circadian and nervous system health as it is by nutrition and supplementation.

Regular ovulation didn’t come from doing one magic thing. How great would it be if that was the case, but there’s so much more to it.
It truly came from addressing the signals my body was responding to.

Obviously I focused on nutrition, cycle awareness, and tracking ovulation objectively. But I also had to reduce chronic stress inputs that were suppressing ovulation without me even realizing that’s what was happening.

Stress isn’t just “feeling anxious.”
It’s anything that consistently tells the brain resources are limited or safety is uncertain. The classic 🤺 or ✈️.

For me, that included creating firmer boundaries in areas of my life that were draining, even when that felt uncomfortable.

The pituitary (the hormone signaller) doesn’t separate emotional stress from physical stress.
If the signal is strain, ovulation is optional. In other words, if your body doesn’t think it’s safe to reproduce, ovulation (the 🔑 in reproduction) will absolutely be put on the back-burner.

Supporting ovulation meant supporting the whole system, not forcing a single outcome and expecting it to change overnight. Give yourself the grace & the time ♥️

And that’s on thinking I was weird for having cervical mucus but it was actually totally normal and just a part of the hormone ebbs and flows ✨

“Low-fat everything.”
“Just relax.”
“Your bloodwork looks normal.”

Meanwhile, TSH is creeping up, prolactin’s high, and no one’s looking at your LH to FSH ratio.

You weren’t told that men’s health plays a role too.
You weren’t told that alcohol and w**d can impact the quality of your next few eggs and cycles.
You were just told to keep trying and stay positive.

I see it in my practice lots. I’ve seen a lot of the ups, and the downs. For a lot of women, the TTC journey is not linear. Sometimes you can feel mentally ready but your body physically does not, and that can be a hard journey to endure.

None of this is your fault.. you didn’t know what you weren’t taught.
But the more you understand how your hormones actually work, the more empowered you become to use that understanding and knowledge to your advantage.

Getting my DUTCH test results back was such an eye opener and it was soooo fun to nerd out over them!

It’s wild how much hormones can reflect the stress you’ve pushed through, the times you under-ate, or stayed in situations that kept you tense… speaking from experience.

This test reminded me how deeply connected everything is. That my nervous system, my food, my rest, and stress management all shape the way my body feels safe enough to function.

I don’t think that we have to chase perfect numbers at all, but learning your patterns, understanding what your body’s asking for, and meeting it with more compassion than control is the basis of hormone balance 🤍

This is exactly why “test, don’t guess” matters.

PCOS isn’t one-size-fits-all, and sometimes it’s 16-OH driven rather than the more commonly discussed insulin or androgen pathways. That’s also why some of the classic supplements, while amazing, don’t always do the trick for every woman.

Understanding your unique hormone pathways = targeting the root cause, not just the symptoms.

I used to think fabric didn’t really matter at all, but once I started paying attention to how certain clothes made me feel in my body, it made a huge shift for me. Natural fibers breathe better, they don’t trap heat or odors, and they support your nervous system in subtle but powerful ways.

Cotton, linen, wool, & silk are now what I look for when I’m reading garment tags in the store.

Your skin is your largest organ and what you wear touches it all day.

It’s one of the easiest shifts you can make to feel more grounded and regulated without overthinking it.

This doesn’t need to be stressful, you truthfully can easily work with what’s in your budget. Almost every store has natural fibre options you just need to take the time to look!

I’ve actually found I save more money this way because I buy fewer things and less $$$ marked up trendy items. Plus I take better care of the pieces I have knowing they can last a lifetime if I do. And even when I do spend more on a natural fiber item I feel way more justified doing it.

I don’t think we all need to dive right into the natural fibres, but, if you’ve been curious about it, this is your sign to look into this more! I seriously can’t stress enough the difference I feel after making the switch.

Add this to the list of the things we should’ve been taught in high school S*x Ed 📋

Why did no one tell us that our cervical mucus changes throughout our cycle and actually tells us something?!
⠀
This is one of the most useful signs we have to track ovulation, understand our hormones, and get a real-time view of our cycle health… but most of us grew up thinking discharge was just…gross.
⠀
Women don’t get taught that:
🌵 Dry can mean stress or low hormones, and that you are outside your fertile window
🍯 Sticky means estrogen is trying to rise
🧴 Creamy means you’re getting close to ovulation
🍳 Egg white = peak fertility
💧 Watery is also fertile, especially if it’s slippery
⠀
Instead, we were handed pads and fear tactics while the teacher showed us all the different contraceptive methods. As if we don’t have bodies that use natural processes to communicate with us.
⠀
This isn’t just about fertility either. It’s about knowing what’s normal for your body. And when you understand what your cervical mucus is doing, everything from cycle syncing to hormone balance to knowing when something’s off gets so much easier.
⠀
Honestly, I wish more women were taught how powerful this kind of body awareness is. It’s not weird. It’s not gross. It’s literally biology and it’s one of the most empowering things you can learn.

Tracking your cervical mucus is free, effective, and one of the first things I look at when helping clients rebalance their hormones. Start paying attention — you’ll learn more than you think.
