An “angry uterus” is not random, the immune system activates in response to something. If you’ve been told everything looks fine but pregnancy still isn’t happening, this may be the missing piece.In this episode, you’ll learn:The immune system's role in embryo acceptance and implantationCommon signs and symptoms of uterine immunology issuesThe significance of inflammation, autoimmunity, and environment in fertilityHow to interpret testing for autoimmune markers, inflammation, and immune mappingThe importance of treating both partners and addressing the microbiomeConnections between diet, toxins, methylation, and immune regulationCase examples illustrating complex fertility challengesPractical steps to assess and support uterine health for a successful pregnancyAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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. In this episode, Katie and I break down what IVF was originally designed for and why it cannot override inflammation, poor sperm DNA integrity, blood sugar dysfunction, or immune imbalance. We discuss the emotional toll on both partners and why proper testing changes the trajectory. Fertility is not separate from your overall health, it is a reflection of it.ABOUT DR.
