Let’s call this what it is: a fertility crisis rooted in diet culture.

In this truth-bomb episode, we dive into: Why 1,200 calories is toddler-level nutrition, not adult female fuel How under-eating disrupts hormone production and shuts down ovulation What Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) really is—and why it’s so commo...

This week on the podcast, I sat down with gut health dietitian Megan from Grounded Nourishment to unpack this wildly overlooked connection between your nervous system, digestion, and hormones.

We're diving into a topic that's often overlooked but crucial for fertility: low estrogen. Estrogen isn't just about mood swings or hot flashes; it's a key player in your reproductive health.

In today's episode, we'll explore three signs, without lab testing, that might indicate your estrogen levels are lower than optimal—and what you can do about it...
