    Ep 382 The Spiritual Side of Fertility with Ariane de Bonvoisin
    Apr 14 2026
    On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Ariane de Bonvoisin (@arianedebonvoisin), author of Spirit Mama, to explore the deeper connection between the mind, body, and spirit in the fertility journey. Ariane shares her personal story from corporate success to navigating fertility challenges including miscarriage and IVF, and how it led her to redefine what it means to become a mother. We discuss the hidden emotional patterns like control, perfection, and self-judgment, and how awareness of these can create powerful shifts. We also dive into reconnecting with the body, trusting your inner voice, and cultivating a relationship with something greater than yourself. This conversation offers a more compassionate, holistic perspective for anyone feeling like something is missing from the conventional fertility approach. Key Takeaways: Fertility is not just physical; emotional and spiritual factors matter. Control, perfection, and self-judgment can block natural flow. Reconnecting with your body is essential for conception. Awareness and self-compassion create powerful internal shifts. Your relationship with life influences your fertility journey.

  • Ep 381 The TTC Story You'll Want to Hear on a Hard Day

    Ep 381 The TTC Story You'll Want to Hear on a Hard Day
    Apr 7 2026

    In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with a former client to share her powerful trying-to-conceive journey, one that began with endometriosis, frustration, and the quiet fear that her body was "failing" her.

    For nearly two years, she did everything "right." She saw specialists, monitored cysts, adjusted her diet, optimized her lifestyle, and pushed herself to stay positive. But behind the structure and to-do lists was a nervous system under pressure and a heart carrying more than it should.

    In this conversation, she opens up about the emotional breaking point that changed everything, the moment she shifted from "What's wrong with me?" to "What do you need from me?" We talk about boundaries, reconnecting with joy, meditation, surrender, and the unexpected spiritual signs that preceded her pregnancy, including vivid dreams, intuitive moments, and a powerful final act of letting go.

    This episode is a reminder that fertility is not just physical. It is relational. It is emotional. It is deeply personal. And sometimes, the shift that changes everything isn't another supplement or protocol, it's a transformation in how we relate to ourselves.

    If you've ever felt ashamed, behind, exhausted, or like you're carrying this alone, this story will meet you exactly where you are.

    You are not broken.

    And you do not have to walk this journey alone.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Fertility journeys often involve emotional highs and lows, and learning to shift from self-blame to self-compassion can be a powerful turning point.
    • Nervous system support through practices like meditation, boundaries, and reconnecting with joy can play a meaningful role in supporting fertility.
    • Lifestyle changes such as nutrition, stress reduction, sunlight, and movement can help create a more supportive environment for conception.
    • Letting go of control and embracing surrender can open the door to deeper trust in the body and the fertility process.
    • Many women experience intuitive or spiritual moments on their fertility journey, reminding them they are not alone in the process.

    On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I am joined by Marta Han and Zsofia Jamieson, founders of The Fertility Class @thefertilityclass and teachers of the Aviva Method, a pelvic centered movement practice designed to support hormonal balance and fertility. In this conversation, we explore how targeted rhythmic movement can improve circulation to the reproductive organs, support communication between the brain and ovaries, and help regulate the menstrual cycle. Marta shares her personal story of recovering from hypothalamic amenorrhea after years of overtraining and undernourishing her body, while Zsofia talks about overcoming PCOS symptoms and restoring her cycles through fertility focused movement.

Cha shares her incredible story of naturally conceiving at 46 and welcoming her daughter at 47 after being told that motherhood later in life was unlikely.

    Ep 378 Can You Improve Egg Quality After 40? PRP, Peptides & Fertility Breakthroughs with Aimee Raupp
    Mar 17 2026
    On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Michelle sits down with Aimee Raupp (@aimeeraupp) to explore the latest breakthroughs in fertility science and ovarian rejuvenation. From PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy and rapamycin to senolytics, peptides, and low-dose naltrexone (LDN), this conversation dives into emerging tools that may support egg quality, ovarian function, and fertility after 35. They also challenge long-standing scientific dogma around ovarian aging and discuss whether women are truly born with all the eggs they'll ever have. If you're navigating diminished ovarian reserve, PCOS, endometriosis, insulin resistance, or age-related fertility concerns, this episode offers cutting-edge insights and practical hope grounded in evolving research. Key Takeaways: PRP ovarian rejuvenation may improve ovarian function and support natural conception in some women. Emerging research questions the belief that women are born with all their eggs, opening new conversations about ovarian aging and regeneration. Rapamycin and senolytics (like fisetin) are being studied for their potential role in delaying ovarian aging and reducing inflammation. Peptide therapy may support hormonal balance, egg quality, insulin sensitivity, and conditions like PCOS. Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) may help regulate immune function, reduce inflammation, and support fertility outcomes in certain cases.

  • Ep 377 Peptides, GLP-1s & Fertility: What You Need to Know with Jay Campbell

    Ep 377 Peptides, GLP-1s & Fertility: What You Need to Know with Jay Campbell
    Mar 10 2026

    On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Jay Campbell (@jaycampbell333), health optimization expert, author, and founder of BioLongevity Labs, to explore the powerful intersection of peptides, metabolic health, and fertility.

    Jay shares how therapeutic peptides like HCG, HMG, and GLP compounds can support male fertility, insulin resistance, and metabolic balance when used correctly. We discuss the rise of GLP-1 medications, why microdosing matters, and how inflammation and visceral fat are major contributors to declining fertility rates.

    Beyond the physical, we also dive into mindset, consciousness, and how belief systems impact healing and reproductive outcomes. This conversation bridges cutting-edge science with empowered awareness, and offers a new perspective on fertility optimization in the modern world.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Therapeutic peptides such as HCG and HMG can help stimulate FSH and LH to support male fertility.

    • Chronic inflammation and visceral fat are major drivers of insulin resistance and declining fertility.

    • GLP-1 medications can be helpful tools when microdosed and combined with proper lifestyle habits.

    • Insulin-controlled living and metabolic flexibility are foundational for hormonal balance.

    • Sustainable fat loss requires resistance training, adequate protein intake, and hormonal optimization.

    • Environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors contribute to the global fertility decline.

    • Mindset and consciousness play a significant role in healing, longevity, and reproductive success.


    Guest Bio:

    Jay Campbell (@jaycampbell333) is a global authority in hormone optimization, peptides, and human longevity, a five-time international bestselling author, and the co-founder of BioLongevity Labs—often called "the Amazon for biohackers."

Known for cutting through misinformation, Jay translates complex biomedical research into practical, real-world strategies with integrity and no-BS clarity, blending cutting-edge science with a consciousness-driven approach that elevates biology, mindset, identity, and purpose. He is also the author of the upcoming book Metabolic Awakening, which addresses the global misuse of GLP drugs and introduces the first responsible, science-aligned framework for microdosing GLP peptides to support long-term metabolic repair rather than temporary weight loss.

  • Ep 375 The Untold Science Behind Your Most Creative (and Fertile) Days

    Ep 375 The Untold Science Behind Your Most Creative (and Fertile) Days
    Feb 24 2026

    In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Michelle explores the powerful connection between creativity and fertility, revealing the science behind why women often feel more inspired during their fertile window. Drawing from a 2022 study published in Frontiers in Psychology, she breaks down research showing that originality peaks during ovulation and explains how fertility hormones influence creativity, brain chemistry, and emotional openness.

    Michelle also asks a deeper question: could creativity itself support fertility? Blending neuroscience, nervous system regulation, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and hormonal health, she explains how creative flow can reduce stress, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and support reproductive function. This episode offers a fresh, holistic perspective for anyone trying to conceive, recovering from burnout, or seeking to reconnect with their natural life force through creativity and flow.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Creativity naturally peaks during ovulation, especially in originality and novelty

    • Creative states calm the nervous system and reduce fertility-disrupting stress hormones

    • From a TCM perspective, creativity and fertility are governed by the same principle: flow

    • Engaging in creativity can help regulate hormones, emotions, and reproductive energy

    • Fertility is not just biological, it is energetic, emotional, and expressive
