We talk about why pregnancy is an immune process, how autoimmunity and chronic inflammation can block implantation, and why so many cases are mislabeled as “unexplained.” Aimee shares powerful stories of missed uterine diagnostics (fibroids, endometritis, endo) and why proper testing of the uterus, hormones, metabolism, and sperm can change everything.We also cover what’s evolving in IVF (PGT accuracy, protocol intensity, low-stim approaches) and her updated book, Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, revised edition.In this episode, you’ll learn:Practical steps women can take before trying to conceiveThe impact of age and lifestyle on fertility today versus a decade agoThe importance of comprehensive diagnostics beyond hormones and traditional testingThe role of environmental toxins, digital lifestyle, and circadian rhythm in reproductive healthDeep dive into IVF protocols, genetic testing, and the limitations of current reproductive technologiesAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

EPISODE SUMMARY:Too many couples are promised a fast track to pregnancy through IVF, only to end up more confused, depleted, and heartbroken.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I sit down with my patients, David and Melody, a couple whose story spans recurrent pregnancy loss, the stillbirth of their son at 37 weeks, and the long road back to hope. We talk candidly about what it took to keep moving forward through grief, why “simple fixes” and generic timelines weren’t enough, and how individualized care and real-time data helped us uncover what had been missed. We also discuss how they navigated adoption alongside their fertility journey, what shifted in their bodies and mindset before their healthy pregnancy, and why they chose to write their book, The Process of the Suddenly, while still in the middle of their story. It is a profound honor to walk this journey with my patients, to problem-solve through the setbacks, to celebrate the breakthroughs, and ultimately to witness the moment they hold their baby in their arms. Hearing Melody’s birth story and seeing their daughter was nothing short of magical. If you are in the middle of your own uphill climb, I hope their story reminds you that healing is possible and that your body is capable of more than you’ve been led to believe.ABOUT DR.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I sit down with my practitioner Dr. Elissa to unpack how autoimmune disease impacts fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and implantation. We break down what ANA and ENA testing really means, the role of the gut and vaginal microbiome in immune regulation, and why so many women are told their labs are “normal” when their bodies are clearly struggling. We also explore the deeper patterns behind autoimmunity, drawing on Dr. Gabor Maté’s work - where chronic stress, self-abandonment, and broken boundaries often show up as immune dysfunction. If you’ve felt dismissed or know there’s more to your fertility story, this episode will help you connect the dots.ABOUT DR.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, Dr. Jane is joined by Harvard-awarded fertility specialist Gabriela Rosa, founder of the Rosa Institute and author of Fertility Breakthrough.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I unpack the often-missed microbe Ureaplasma and its deep impact on fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and even how women feel in their own bodies. From infertility and recurrent loss to preterm birth and neurodevelopmental issues in babies, the research is clear, this infection matters. I walk you through the latest science, how to test for it properly (including what most doctors miss), and what a truly effective treatment plan looks like- including antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials, and deep nervous system and energetic work. We’ll also explore why this bug can hold emotional trauma, how it connects to experiences of disconnection, and what it really means to heal - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This is not your standard infection protocol. It’s a reframe of what’s possible when you treat the whole woman, not just her labs.ABOUT DR.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Nicole Smith to unpack PCOS through both clinical science and lived experience. We explore how PCOS often develops years before diagnosis, why so many women are dismissed despite clear symptoms, and how PCOS is not just an ovarian condition, but one that starts in the brain. We walk through early warning signs, the most important testing to consider, and why intuition, history, and data all matter when treating PCOS properly. This conversation is a powerful reminder that PCOS is not a life sentence and with the right approach, the body can absolutely heal.ABOUT DR.

Yet, within my family we've tackled mold illness, thyroid disease (Hashimoto), parasites, heavy metal toxicity, leaky gut, and more-all without traditional medicine (although it has its place when needed). Just when I thought I had it all figured out, in came perimenopause!

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the unconventional - yet highly effective - approach I use in practice to help couples conceive and build lasting health. I share six bold ways my team and I are redefining fertility care, including why I no longer recommend prenatals or fish oils, don’t treat based on age or research alone, and never prescribe supplements without testing first. You’ll also hear why I always include the male partner in care, even when his sperm is considered “normal.” If you’ve been following generic advice that isn’t moving the needle, this episode will show you what’s likely missing, and how to move forward with more clarity and confidence. My mission is to empower you to heal deeply, conceive naturally, and build generational health from the ground up.ABOUT DR.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this powerful conversation, I sit down with practitioner Katie Redding to unpack one of the most frustrating patterns we see in our practice - women feeling stuck, spinning their wheels, and not getting anywhere on their fertility journey. We explore the root causes of this "hamster wheel" dynamic, including mistrust of practitioners, fragmented testing, and unhealed trauma patterns that lead to self-reliance and burnout. We also share clinical insights on what’s often missed in conventional care and why having a personalized strategy is the missing piece.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I sit down with Brendan Vermeire, also known as The Holistic Savage, for a powerful conversation on the intersection of metabolic health, mental health, and true healing. We explore why physiology and psychology cannot be separated, how inflammation, toxins, and infections can shape mood and behavior, and where mindset, trauma, and responsibility fit into the healing process. Brendan shares his personal journey, including his experience with suicide, resilience, and why fitness, intuition, and meaning matter just as much as lab work.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, Dr. Jane sits down with Dr. Elissa Chambers to unpack the vagus nerve, nervous system regulation, and how all of it connects to fertility. From breathwork and yoga to ear massages and emotional healing, they explore how low vagal tone shows up in digestion, hormones, sleep, and stress and how to build it back up. You’ll also hear how beliefs like “resting makes me lazy” can keep your body stuck in overdrive, and why slowing down is often the hardest but most powerful medicine.

EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I walk you through a complex fertility case involving a couple who had “done everything” - IVF, detox protocols, clean living, endless supplements, yet still weren’t making progress. I break down the real reasons they were stuck, including overlooked methylation issues, heavy metal toxicity, microbiome imbalances, and the emotional stress that was impacting their nervous systems. I share how we approached their case differently, what shifted once we had the right data, and how quickly the body can change when you address the actual root causes. If you’ve been spinning your wheels or told to “just keep trying,” this episode will show you what’s possible when fertility care becomes both strategic and deeply personalized.ABOUT DR.

As a chiropractor, healer, and guide, I’ve embraced the fluidity of being what my clients need—whether that’s a structural realignment, functional medicine insights, or a connection to something deeper.My path was shaped by resilience—a childhood of survival, a serendipitous fall that introduced me to chiropractic care, and a career that evolved from working in mental health wards to unlocking the body’s innate potential through neurofeedback, genetics, and hands-on healing.Guided by spirit, science, and an unshakable commitment to well-being, I stand as both student and teacher, continuously expanding my toolkit to serve those seeking balance, relief, and transformation.

It's like, how about we figure out why his brain is inflamed?"“I think it's oversimplified to say, you have heavy metals to start doing some chlorella and some good binders and support some drainage and you're good because you're going to probably have some infections that pop up because this metal was causing this infection and now the body has the ability to actually purge and get rid of it which means it has to express itself and i have this fungal rush all of sudden yeah because the body finally has the strength to get rid of it instead of suppressing it all the time”“How long is it going to take to detox? And this is a question that I don't think anybody really has an answer to because once you go down this rabbit hole, it's like a Pandoras box. You don't know how much is going to come out. You just don't know. You don't know if this heavy toxic load has been in your system for so long and your poor body is just waiting to get it out.” Connect with Dr. Jane LevesqueWebsite - https://www.drjanelevesque.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drjanelevesque/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrJaneLevesque/
