On today’s episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I dive deep into the topic of unexplained infertility—a term often given when standard fertility tests show “normal” results, yet conception still isn’t happening. I share how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), functional testing, and a deeper mind-body approach can offer clarity where conventional medicine falls short.

We’ll explore key overlooked areas such as egg and sperm quality, thyroid health, gut imbalances, endocrine disruptors, and the vital role of nervous system regulation. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your fertility journey, this episode will empower you with insights that go far beyond the typical lab work.


Key Takeaways:

• TCM can detect subtle imbalances long before they appear in clinical tests.
• Factors like egg quality, sperm DNA fragmentation, endometrial inflammation, and thyroid health are frequently missed.
• Nervous system regulation and stress support are essential but often overlooked in fertility care.
• Gut health and exposure to endocrine disruptors significantly impact hormonal and reproductive function.

On today’s episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I am joined by spirit baby medium Anne-Claire Le Bihan @anneclairelebihan, who guides women in connecting with the souls of their future children. With a background in midwifery and naturopathy, Anne-Claire shares how her own pregnancy journey awakened her intuitive abilities and led her to support women experiencing unexplained infertility.

Anne-Claire offers practical tools for tuning into these messages, from meditation and journaling to setting intentions before sleep.

Whether you're struggling to conceive, feeling called to connect spiritually with your future child, or simply open to a deeper perspective on fertility, this episode offers a beautiful blend of soul, surrender, and hope.

On today’s episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I’m joined once again by Susan Singer (@iamsusansinger), fertility yoga teacher, spirit baby advocate, and co-founder of Gals Off The Grid. Susan first appeared on the podcast back in episode 3, where she shared her fertility journey. Today, we revisit that path and explore the remarkable unfolding of motherhood, intuition, and spiritual alignment that followed.

Susan shares how she went from multiple rounds of IVF to a natural conception, and the moment Michelle felt her pregnancy through pulse diagnosis before any test confirmed it. We dive deep into the signs, synchronicities, and spiritual guidance that supported her journey, including a powerful numerological moment in the delivery room that tied back to a PIN code she created 15 years prior.

Now a mom and wellness entrepreneur, Susan reflects on how her connection to community, the land, and her own inner wisdom helped shape Gals Off The Grid, a nature-inspired membership and retreat space for soul-led women seeking to reconnect with the rhythms of Mother Earth and feminine energy.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that the fertility journey is more than just the physical process it's a soul path rich with signs, surrender, and divine timing.

Key Takeaways:

• Fertility journeys often unfold in unexpected, divinely timed ways.

• Spirit baby connections can provide emotional and spiritual clarity during the TTC process.

• Masculine energy and control can create internal resistance, while surrender opens the path to conception.

• Community and connection to nature can be powerful tools for healing and transformation.

• Gals Off The Grid offers somatic, seasonal, and soul-led guidance for women rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science.

On today’s episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Lorne Brown (@lorne_brown_official), a leading expert in integrative reproductive health and the founder of Acubalance Wellness Centre. We explore the groundbreaking potential of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation, and how it can support fertility, egg and sperm quality, and overall reproductive health.

Dr. Brown breaks down the science behind this innovative, non-invasive therapy, revealing how light can stimulate mitochondrial function, regulate inflammation, improve blood flow, and even support the nervous system. We also dive into the fascinating history of how this therapy was discovered for fertility by accident, the results of clinical research, and why dosage, wavelength, and placement matter when using this technology. Whether you're navigating IVF, struggling with unexplained infertility, or looking for additional support on your path to conception, this episode is packed with valuable insights.

Key Takeaways:

• Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation enhances mitochondrial function, which is key to egg and embryo quality.

• The therapy can improve blood flow, regulate inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, and support nutrient absorption at the cellular level.

• It also helps balance the autonomic nervous system, shifting the body into parasympathetic mode to support reproductive health.

• Dr. Brown shares clinical data showing improved blastocyst rates and live births using LLLT before IVF transfers.

• Not all laser systems are created equal—dosage, wavelength, and delivery matter for therapeutic benefit.

Did you know your fertility could be declining due to something deeper than hormone levels or age? In this solo episode, I explore a powerful yet often overlooked aspect of reproductive health through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Kidney Qi.

In TCM, the kidneys are not just responsible for filtering blood—they are the energetic source of your reproductive potential. I unpack how Kidney Jing (essence), Yin and Yang imbalances, and pre-heaven vs. post-heaven Qi all influence egg and sperm quality, libido, menstrual health, and even your nervous system. You’ll learn how to recognise the signs of weakened Kidney Qi and discover lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset shifts to nourish this vital essence naturally.

This episode is packed with practical tips and ancient wisdom to help you reverse the hidden energetic causes of declining fertility and move forward with more confidence and vitality.

Key Takeaways:

• In Chinese medicine, fertility is rooted in Kidney Jing, the essence we inherit from our parents and support throughout life.
• Signs of depleted Kidney Qi can include fatigue, night sweats, low libido, shortened cycles, delayed ovulation, and emotional anxiety.
• Anti-aging and egg/sperm quality are closely tied to mitochondrial health, which reflects the state of your Kidney Qi.
• Lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, nutrition, and warmth (especially around your lower back and feet) can significantly boost reproductive vitality.
• Foods that nourish Kidney Jing include bone broth, goji berries, black sesame seeds, walnuts, seaweed, dark leafy greens, and cooked foods over raw.
• Practices like acupuncture, meditation, and even visualization can support Kidney Qi and overall reproductive wellness.

On today’s episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I’m breaking down the truth behind two of the most talked-about fertility hormones: AMH and FSH. Whether you're navigating IVF, trying to conceive naturally, or just beginning to explore your fertility, understanding what these numbers actually mean (and what they don’t) is essential.

In this solo episode, I share what AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) and FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) reveal about your ovarian reserve, what doctors are looking for, and why these values are only one piece of the fertility puzzle. I also offer insights into how lifestyle, nutrition, and stress management can positively influence your hormonal health and egg quality.

Tune in for a science-meets-soul discussion that will empower you to move forward with more clarity, hope, and confidence on your fertility journey.

Key Takeaways:

AMH indicates the estimated quantity of follicles, while FSH reflects how well your ovaries respond to stimulation.

These values don’t measure egg quality—and they certainly don’t define your fertility potential.

Numbers like AMH and FSH are just a snapshot in time; they can change with the right support.

Egg quality can be supported through lifestyle shifts, acupuncture, and antioxidant-rich nutrition.

Natural conception is possible—even with “low” AMH or “high” FSH.
