Are you trying to get pregnant? Download the free audio to support your fertility journey: CLICK HERE Unexplained Infertility: What It Means, What to Do Next, and How to Support Your Fertility Journey In this Her Fertility podcast episode, I kick off a new series to walk through the fertility journey step by step and reduce the anxiety of the unknown when you’re trying to get pregnant. I explain the medical definition of infertility (12 months trying, or 6 months if you’re over 35) and why I prefer using “fertility journey,” especially when facing unexplained infertility: when labs look normal, tubes are open, semen analysis is normal, and you still can’t get pregnant. I share why unexplained infertility is so frustrating and why I don’t believe you have to choose between Western medicine and holistic support, introducing my HER framework (Hormones, Energy, Research). You'll hear three real client stories (a hidden cervical cyst, male fertility DNA fragmentation testing, and nervous system overload) plus resources like Reiki, acupuncture, chiropractic, naturopathic medicine, and support options. 00:00 Series Kickoff 03:32 Unexplained Infertility 04:59 Beyond Western Medicine 06:16 Holistic Body Systems 07:28 Trial and Error Pitfalls 08:57 Inner Guidance Compass 10:38 HER Framework Explained 17:04 Client Story One: Uterine Cyst 19:28 Client Story Two: Sperm Quality 21:41 Client Story Three: Nervous System  29:07 Support Resources Wrap   Are you trying to get pregnant?

Blood Sugar, Cortisol, Fertility: oh my! with Registered Dietitian Katie Chapmon In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, I’m joined by registered dietitian Katie Chapmon to talk about fertility nutrition through a whole-body lens, with a big focus on blood sugar regulation and stability. Katie explains the difference between a dietitian (licensed, regulated, clinically trained) and a nutritionist (often unregulated), then breaks down how blood sugar “rollercoasters” can increase insulin and affect cortisol: impacting ovulation testosterone balance egg and sperm quality embryo implantation We cover simple, practical steps: eat consistently every 3–5 hours, aim to eat within 90 minutes of waking, build plates with 3–5 distinct food colors for antioxidants, and pair carbs with protein and/or fat (“fruit needs a friend”). We also discuss fasting, why morning fasting may worsen cortisol and dysregulation for female egg quality, and why a longer overnight break from eating can support sleep and nighttime regulation. 02:02 Dietitian vs Nutritionist 04:08 Blood Sugar and Fertility 07:22 Food Rhythm for Stability 09:11 Simple Daily Nutrition Steps 12:30 Intermittent Fasting Explained 15:41 Weight Loss While TTC 17:45 Male vs Female Nutrition Nuances 19:12 How to Work With Katie  Thank you Katie for all of this valuable information!

In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast we discuss Boosting Fertility at Home: Dr. Susan Fox on TEAS, Acupoints, and Whole-Body Support Host Jess Tims welcomes Dr. Susan Fox, a doctor of Chinese medicine and acupuncture with 24 years in fertility care, to kick off 2026 with a focus on agency and optimism after 2025.

Dr. Fox explains TEAS (Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation), a home-based approach using a low-voltage TENS unit on specific fertility-related acupoints to improve blood flow, reduce cortisol, and support outcomes for natural conception, IVF, and egg freezing. She cites a meta-analysis of 3,000+ women (ages 35+ undergoing frozen embryo transfer) showing a 42% increase in live birth rate, and describes her broader program including nutrition, guided meditations with binaural beats, and Qigong, plus a required fertility assessment call. 01:30 Why Fertility Specialization Matters 03:56 At Home TEAS Explained 05:11 Research and 42 Percent Boost 06:46 Fertility Specific Points and Protocols 08:21 Whole Body Program Beyond TEAS 09:20 How TEAS Works With TENS 11:29 Who It Helps and Safety Screening  If you are trying to answer the question how do I get pregnant fast? or is having a child at 40 too old? Then this episode is for you.

In this deeply vulnerable episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, Jess Tims shares a story she learned the hard way: one that shaped her entire approach to fertility support and ultimately led to the creation of the Her Fertility Doula Certification. Jess takes you back to her early days as a newly certified fertility doula: passionate, educated, and eager to help, yet profoundly unprepared for what real fertility support actually requires. After two years of navigating unexplained infertility herself, Jess felt called to support others on this path. She did what many aspiring fertility professionals do: researched certifications, completed an online program, and felt ready to begin. Until she wasn’t. In her very first potential client call, a woman bravely asked: “How can you help me with the pain I’m feeling after a stillbirth?” Jess shares exactly what it felt like to freeze in that moment, realizing that despite her certification, she had no tools to support the depth of grief in front of her. This episode explores: The difference between information and true support Why fertility journeys are emotional, relational, and deeply human What most certifications miss when it comes to holding space for loss, fear, and uncertainty The role of fertility doulas alongside (not instead of) therapists and medical providers Why no one should have to navigate infertility alone Jess reflects on how that experience launched her into years of deeper training: studying the nervous system, subconscious mind, energy healing, Eastern medicine, emotional processing, and the relational impact of infertility. You’ll hear why: Being “Google-informed” isn’t enough. Support must adapt day by day, emotion by emotion. Fertility doulas need tools to guide clients out of negative spirals, not keep them stuck there. Community and connection are essential, for both clients and practitioners This episode is especially for: ✨ Anyone considering becoming a fertility doula ✨ Anyone feeling unsupported on their fertility journey ✨ Anyone craving a more compassionate, whole-person approach to fertility care Jess also shares why the Her Fertility Doula Certification is intentionally different: It combines research, biology, emotional support tools, energy work, and real-life application It includes a 90-day live container with Jess, not just pre-recorded information It prioritizes community so future fertility doulas never feel alone in this work 💛 LEARN MORE: www.herfertility.support/certification  If this work feels like it’s calling you, that’s not an accident.

Being a fertility doula is a calling rooted in presence, trust, and walking alongside people through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. You’ll hear candid excerpts from conversations with past clients, including: ✨ Heather, who experienced pregnancy loss and IVF, and shares how fertility doula support helped her move through fear, grief, and isolation: even while pregnant ✨ Jane (anonymous name) who experienced two pregnancy losses and was filled with fear when she got pregnant again. Working with a fertility doula helped her calm her emotions and today she is a mom! ✨ Chantal, who lived with PCOS and was told IVF was her only option, and how emotional and mindset support helped her reconnect with her body and ultimately become pregnant These stories reveal what medical care alone often can’t provide: Someone who understands without explanation A steady presence through fear and uncertainty Emotional and energetic support during loss, waiting, and early pregnancy Tools to regulate the nervous system and rebuild trust in the body This episode highlights the missing piece in fertility care, the space where clients feel seen, held, and supported as whole humans, not just patients. If you’ve ever felt called to support women on their fertility journey - whether because of your own experience with infertility, loss, or simply a deep knowing that this work matters - this episode is for you. 💛 Are you interested in becoming a fertility doula?

Welcome to a deeply honest episode of the Her Fertility podcast. This is a sneak peak into a heartfelt conversation with Heather, a courageous woman who has walked through pregnancy loss, IVF, and persistent fears of risking pregnancy again. What makes her story so powerful is not only her breakthroughs, but the layers of support, resilience, and trust she built along the way. We talk about: The grief and heartbreak of miscarriage, and then the weight of “what if it doesn’t stick” Why many women feel isolated even when they’re supported How working with a fertility doula complements medical care as the emotional container, real-time guidance, spiritual space Unlocking intuition, presence, and power when so much feels out of control How the second journey can look wildly different and how we navigated new fears, new tools, new trust If you've ever wondered, “Am I alone in this?" or "Will IVF work?”  this episode is for you. Listen now to feel seen, held, and inspired.

If you’re on a fertility path and social media feels like a minefield. If posts, comments, or even something I share recoil in you, this episode is for you. We dive deep into the idea that those emotional reactions aren’t random or shameful. They’re messages. They’re clues from your body and soul pointing to what is or isn’t aligned. Using Dr. David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness, we explore how emotions live on a spectrum: from shame, fear, and frustration up to acceptance, love, peace, and how you can begin reading your emotions instead of repressing or judging them. You’ll leave this episode with a new practice: when you’re triggered, pause, get curious, and ask, What is this emotion trying to tell me? What is the deeper truth to this? What needs to change in order for me to be more aligned with this truth? Key Takeaways: Emotional reactions (anger, jealousy, frustration) are rarely random. They’re signals. The Map of Consciousness shows us that emotions vibrate at different frequencies; the “lower ones” feel heavy in the body. Instead of identifying with negative emotions (“I am jealous”), we can use them as a guide: what’s misaligned in my world for this reaction to arise? When someone announces a pregnancy and you feel triggered, that reaction often reflects your own longing and desire to become a parent. Your emotions are not enemies, they’re messengers and compasses. In the next episode, we will dig deeper into jealousy and comparison: how they show up, and how to transform them. Relevant Research & Context: Emotional distress (anger, frustration, grief) is a known response to infertility; many navigating infertility report higher rates of anxiety, depression, and loss of control (resource: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7885086/) Women with infertility are more likely to experience mental health challenges, influenced by stigma, social isolation, and lack of emotional support. (resources: https://bmcwomenshealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12905-023-02828-9) This episode supports: Anyone who’s felt triggered by pregnancy announcements, social media posts, or conversations People navigating infertility who feel shame, guilt, or frustration around their emotions Listeners who want a deeper, more spiritual/emotional approach to fertility support Practitioners or coaches who work in fertility and want language, frameworks, and deeper emotional insight Are you trying to get pregnant?

Are you missing this crucial piece on your IVF journey? Maybe you're like our client who faced emotional exhaustion after three failed IVF cycles, despite adhering to all medical and dietary protocols. Feeling unsupported and overwhelmed, she started working with a Her Fertility Doula and focused on nervous system regulation, daily mindset practices, and had one-one-one sessions to support herself during her journey. This episode highlights the research that supports the need for support during infertility.

Trying to conceive can feel overwhelming, especially when the tests say “everything looks normal” but deep down you know something isn’t adding up. That’s where support can make all the difference. In this episode of Her Fertility, I sit down with my client (and now dear friend) Dr. Anna Pearl, a chiropractor who knew she didn’t want to wait until she felt isolated or discouraged to get help on her fertility journey. Together, we navigated confusing symptoms, uncovered uterine fibroids that had been overlooked, and created a holistic plan that honored both the science and the soul of fertility. ✨ Today, Anna is pregnant (happy dance) and she shares how support, intuition, and persistence led her here. What you’ll hear in this episode: Why getting support before you feel stuck can change everything. The balance of evidence-based tools with energy work, meditation, and “fertility magic.” How writing, reiki, and even small mindset shifts helped Anna release old blocks. Why painful periods are common but not normal, and what that means for fertility. What it feels like to move from confusion to clarity on the journey to pregnancy. Anna’s story is a powerful reminder that fertility is not just about lab results, it’s about listening to your body, asking the right questions, and having someone in your corner who sees the whole picture. If you’ve been feeling like “everything looks fine” but you know in your gut something’s missing, this episode is for you. Are you trying to get pregnant?

After taking a break this summer to soak in time with my son (who just turned six!), I’m back behind the mic: refreshed, caffeinated, and ready to dive into some big conversations. In this episode, we’re tackling a term that has quickly entered the fertility space: Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM). At first glance, RRM might sound supportive, holistic, and helpful, but when we take a closer look, there are major red flags. From cherry-picked science to language designed to villainize doctors and Western medicine, RRM is a growing ideology that could actually harm women seeking fertility support. Together, we’ll explore: ✨ What RRM is and why it’s suddenly everywhere ✨ The real problems with its messaging and methods ✨ Why language matters in fertility conversations (and how words can manipulate our choices) ✨ The danger of cutting men, science, and IVF out of the conversation ✨ How to approach your fertility journey with both research and soul guidance My mission has always been to combine evidence-based fertility research with energy, spirituality, and soul alignment, because your fertility is your vitality. You deserve access to all the information, not just the parts that fit someone else’s agenda. If you’ve ever felt confused, pressured, or pulled in different directions while navigating your fertility journey, this episode will help you cut through the noise and find clarity.
