Send us Fan Mail Send us Fan Mail Show Notes: This week is our final episode of the infertility awareness series. I am excited to talk with Deidre Bloomquist. She is a functional nutritionist, and her specialty is reversing infertility through restoring health by reducing toxicity and other fertility barriers. In today’s episode we dive into how toxicity impacts the body and fertility. In today’s episode, you’ll hear: -Endocrine disruptors like phthalates and fragrances impact hormones, which affects fertility. -Toxins are everywhere, especially in products with fragrances, which are in many everyday products people use. -Your gut health matters for overcoming fertility barriers because it impacts your hormones, and when there are imbalances, like dysbiosis, it stresses out your body, which can impact your hormones too; toxins like pesticides, heavy metals, mold, and even emotional stressors can cause gut imbalances. -In early conception, the thyroid is important in cellular replication, and if the thyroid is not functioning optimally it might cause fertility issues; heavy metals like aluminum and mercury, along with mold, can throw your thyroid off balance. -A lot of times people think that their symptoms are completely normal, when it can be traced back to toxins that you were exposed to in utero; learning how to manage how many toxins you come into contact with will ultimately impact the health of your child. -Unexplained infertility is definitely explainable, and what it really means is doctors don’t really know why you are unable to get pregnant; by digging deeper into the root causes of your symptoms, you are given a pathway to make the changes you need in order to get pregnant. -When IUI or IVF doesn’t work typically it’s because the body doesn’t feel safe, and it is trying to keep you safe; doing functional work can help and prepare your body for those procedures or to get pregnant naturally. To reduce toxicity and support fertility, start with your water source. Invest in a good quality filter. Look at things around your home and see what has fragrances, and buy things new in a better quality when you run out of that product. Make changes slowly, and remember perfection is not the goal. Prioritize daily use items for immediate improvement.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we're digging into four common myths in the endo world that sound helpful but can actually keep your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode, making healing harder, not easier. If you've been doing everything "right" and still feel tense, inflamed, or reactive, this episode is for you. What We Cover: We start by breaking down what survival mode actually looks like: hypervigilance around food and symptoms, constant symptom tracking, fear of flare-ups, feeling like your body is the enemy, and muscle guarding. We also explore how chronic sympathetic nervous system activation contributes to pain, inflammation, and even fertility struggles. Then we tackle the four big myths: We wrap up with practical, actionable ways to start moving out of survival mode: eating with less fear and more gratitude, calming your nervous system when symptoms arise, building restorative habits, gentle consistency over perfectionism, and leaning on a support system rather than isolating.

Send a text You're eating a beautiful, anti-inflammatory diet, and yet your pain just won't budge. You're not doing it wrong. You're just missing a few pieces of the puzzle. In this episode, Alyssa digs into why food alone is often not enough to manage endometriosis pain, and what a whole-body approach to healing actually looks like.

Send us a text You’ve probably heard at some point that endometriosis is a lifelong, progressive disease that only gets worse with time. But the research tells a very different (and far more hopeful) story. In this episode, I’m joined by Katie Edmonds, author of Heal Endo, to break down decades of studies showing that endometriosis often stabilizes, regresses, or even resolves. We explore why symptoms don’t always reflect lesion behavior, how inflammation and the nervous system influence endo, and what this means for your healing.
