Dr Jane Levesque I help couples overcome infertility with natural medicine. Hi, I’m Dr. Jane Levesque, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in fertility. WHY DO I DO THIS?

My mission is to empower ambitious women around the world in maximizing fertility, optimizing pregnancy, and enhancing the postpartum journey, using natural methods. And my ultimate goal is to create a healthy and happy generation of parents and kids! I offer online fertility programs designed to help you increase your chances of conception, foster a thriving pregnancy, and give birth to a healthy baby. THE OPENING ACT

I’m the mom of two beautiful girls. Getting pregnant for the first time was incredibly easy, but I didn’t prepare for it, and felt very sick as a result. I was so uncomfortable in my own body that I thought: “Wait a minute, pregnancy can’t be this debilitating. There has to be a better way!”

So, I put on my naturopath hat and decided to prepare for my next pregnancy very carefully. I did my homework, boosted my nutrients, took my supplements, changed my exercise routine-the works. Physically, I was in excellent shape. But as a couple, my husband and I weren’t in the right place to bring a life into this world. We were very stressed and had so much going on that we tried to schedule this pregnancy in, no matter how unnatural it felt. THE TURNING POINT

My second pregnancy ended in a miscarriage, and my heart sank. I felt broken, lost, and utterly confused. How could this happen to me? How could my body fail me when I needed it the most? Could I keep trying and risk going through this excruciating pain again? I turned to medical providers searching for answers but quickly learned I was on my own. I had to be my own doctor. After extensive research and lab testing, I realized I hadn’t considered how high stress could impact my pregnancy. It led to poor digestion, nutrient deficiencies, and hormone imbalances, which may have all potentially contributed to my miscarriage. I understood that although I was trying to do everything “right” with my physical health, I underestimated the mental and emotional components that go into creating a life. I couldn’t just pencil this in, I needed space to be present throughout the process. THE SHIFT

I recognized I had to make some changes. I relied on my support network and mindfulness practices to grieve and heal. I fine-tuned my supplements to account for essential building blocks and reinforced my diet with nutrient-rich foods. Most importantly, I stopped scheduling in*******se and relying on an app to track my ovulation. I followed my intuition and regained trust in my body. Once I let go of my expectations and leaned into the experience, I felt ready to try again. Three months later, I was pregnant, and nine months later, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. After going through such a transformative experience and seeing how other friends, relatives, and patients struggled with fertility issues, I decided to help. If you feel hopeless, stuck, and neglected by the conventional medical system, I’m here for you. I want to help you take control of your health, optimize your fertility, and build the family you dream of. You just have to commit to the process.

Being young does not automatically mean you have healthy eggs and being older does not mean you have bad eggs.

Egg quality does not respond to your age alone, but to the internal environment your body is living in.

Your eggs develop inside follicles that are highly sensitive to oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling.

When inflammation is elevated, even at low levels, it changes how the egg matures.

→ Blood flow to the o***y can be compromised

→ Hormonal communication becomes less precise

→ The egg may not mature as efficiently

And inflammation is not just autoimmune disease or obvious illness. It can come from everyday physiology:

→ Poor sleep

→ Chronic stress

→ Blood sugar instability

→ Nutrient depletion

→ Carrying excess weight

Over time, these pieces shape the environment your egg develops in.

You can be 25 and metabolically depleted.

You can be 35 and well regulated.

That’s why if you want to understand your egg quality, you have to look deeper and assess what is driving inflammation and dysregulation inside your body.

Because your reproductive health cannot be separated from your overall health.

Basal body temperature can give you insight into your cycle but it is not a diagnosis.

A flat luteal temperature pattern may suggest low progesterone.

It does not tell you how much progesterone is being produced, how long it is sustained, or why it may be insufficient.

A lower or inconsistent luteal rise can also be influenced by stress, sleep disruption, illness, travel, or measurement variability.

If you suspect low progesterone, the next step is properly timed blood work, approximately seven days post ovulation.

That confirms whether progesterone is actually low.

But a low value is not the root cause.

Low progesterone is usually a downstream signal. It often reflects:

→ Inadequate ovulation

→ Chronic stress and elevated cortisol

→ Thyroid dysfunction

→ Blood sugar instability

→ Ongoing inflammation

So the goal is not simply to raise progesterone.

It is to understand what is impairing ovulation or hormonal balance in the first place.

That means looking at your full hormone panel, thyroid markers, cortisol patterns, blood sugar regulation, inflammatory load, and overall ovulatory function.

Track your cycle. Confirm with labs.

Then address the upstream driver.

The quality of your food determines the quality of the nutrients available to your body.

And those nutrients regulate hormone production, ovulation, and egg development, etc.

When the food you eat is nutrient-dense, it supports stable hormonal signaling, a lower inflammatory load, and more.

When it is heavily processed or exposed to pesticides and herbicides, micronutrient density declines and inflammatory burden increases.

That shift directly influences your ability to conceive.

Your baby is created by what you and your partner eat + your physiological and emotional state.

Don’t underestimate the power of a bright yolk.

You’ve been told your labs are “normal."
But you’ve had a miscarriage.
Or implantation failure.
Or have been labelled with unexplained infertility.
That’s not normal.

In this episode of Natural Fertility, I sit down with to unpack how autoimmune disease quietly impacts fertility, from implantation failure to recurrent loss.

We cover:
→ What ANA & ENA testing actually means
→ How gut + vaginal microbiome dysbiosis drives immune chaos
→ Why genetics load the gun, but stress, toxins, and infections pull the trigger
→ The deeper emotional patterns behind autoimmunity (inspired by Gabor Maté’s work)

If you’ve felt dismissed or told to “just keep trying,” this one connects the dots.

Most fertility supplement routines are built on assumptions. They turn supplements into a checklist instead of a strategy.

Supplements are not harmless extras.

They are meant to correct something specific.

A deficiency.

An elevated inflammatory load.

Blood sugar instability.

Hormonal imbalance.

But for that to work, the supplement has to match the dysfunction.

Without testing, that match does not exist.

So you start layering:

→ Magnesium

→ CoQ10

→ Omega-3s

→ Methylated B vitamins

→ Adaptogens

Some of those may be helpful.

But what if the real issue is thyroid dysfunction, gut inflammation, insulin resistance or poor sleep driving elevated cortisol?

If that’s the case, adding more supplements does not solve the problem.

It just adds noise.

Testing gives you direction.

It shows what is deficient, what is elevated, what is dysregulated, and what actually requires support.

When supplements are selected intentionally, based on your labs, they can be powerful.

When they are taken without data, they create overwhelm.

How is “unexplained” still an acceptable answer after 5… 7… 10 IVF cycles?

At some point, it’s not a numbers game.

It’s a missed diagnosis.

If you’re being told to “just keep trying,” pause.

Because repeated failure isn’t random. It’s information.

And the real question isn’t if something is wrong.

It’s what hasn’t been found yet.

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but you’re still not pregnant - this episode is essential listening.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for fertility, they support inflammation regulation, hormone signaling, egg quality, immune balance, and early neurological development of the embryo.

However, how omega-3s are implemented matters.

I no longer recommend fish oil as a blanket supplement.

With the scale of modern environmental pollution, many persistent chemicals accumulate in marine ecosystems and bioaccumulate in fish tissue.

Even high-quality products cannot realistically test for the full range of contaminants now present, and oxidation further complicates efficacy.

In my practice, I prioritize:

→ obtaining omega-3s through high-quality, well-sourced foods

→ optimizing fat digestion and absorption

→ using non-fish sources (such as algae-derived DHA/EPA) when supplementation is indicated

→ reserving targeted omega-3 supplementation for specific clinical cases, based on testing and individual needs

Omega-3s are powerful, but they work best when they’re intentional, absorbable, and appropriate for your physiology.

Food sources I often prioritize (when digestion and absorption are supported)

→ Grass-fed beef and lamb

→ Pasture-raised eggs

→ Flaxseed oil, chia seeds, ground flax

→ Walnuts

→ Algae-based DHA/EPA (non-fish source)

If you want to conceive after 35, you need data, not a ‘good feeling’.

Both of these women are prioritizing their health. Both are:

→ taking supplements.
→ trying to eat well.
→ are doing the right things.

But one is operating on assumptions. The other is operating on data.

Feeling better does not confirm improved ovulation.
Going to bed early does not confirm restorative sleep.
Cervical fluid does not confirm adequate progesterone.
A “clean diet” does not confirm nutrient sufficiency.

After 35, fertility needs precision.

That means:

→ In-depth testing
→ Personalized supplementation
→ Objective ovulation confirmation
→ Tracked sleep and recovery
→ Measurable progress in biomarkers

And this is not a hypothetical example. It’s a pattern I see in my practice every single day.

Couples who rely on trends and generalizations stay stuck.

Couples who move to personalized data, strategic decision-making, and properly sourced, high-quality products see progress.

You don’t prepare for pregnancy by hoping everything is fine.

You prepare by understanding what your body actually needs.

Conception requires more than a functioning uterus.

It requires adequate nutrient stores, stable blood sugar, balanced hormones, and a regulated immune system (in BOTH partners).

When you “just start trying,” you are assuming all of that is optimized.

Often, it isn’t.

Egg quality, s***m quality, implantation, and early embryo development are influenced by you and your partner’s physiology before conception.

And that physiology also shapes the health trajectory of your future baby.

That’s why testing matters. You should evaluate:

→ Inflammation markers

→ Blood sugar regulation

→ Thyroid function

→ Nutrient status

→ Hormone balance

→ S***m analysis

Testing gives you clarity, and that allows you to build a fertility plan based on data, not guesswork.

So, if you’re done guessing and want clarity around your fertility, DM me the word “READY” and let’s see how we can help.

For the 200th episode of the Natural Fertility Podcast, I’m doing something I’ve never done before.

I’m opening up my clinical case review process and walking through three real fertility cases in detail.

I’ll show you how I interpret lab work, connect patterns, identify what may be missing, and decide what I would prioritize next.

If you’ve been trying for a while, have “normal” labs but no clear direction, or want experienced eyes on your case, you can submit your history and lab work for consideration.

I will personally review every submission.

Three cases will be selected and reviewed anonymously on the podcast.

Applications close February 25.

Comment “200” to submit your case for review.

Cases like this are far more common than most people realize.

And this happens because no one stopped to ask: Why is pregnancy not happening in the first place?

Instead, couples are rushed into invasive procedures like IUI or IVF without even completing basic foundational testing:

→ A properly collected and interpreted semen analysis

→ Blood glucose and metabolic markers

→ Thyroid function

→ Comprehensive infection screening

When those variables are not evaluated, the underlying driver remains unidentified.

And treatment becomes a compounding experience of failure, rather than a progressive one.

Only a few people will understand this…

But the more couples I treat, the more I see how opposites attract.

One person has low iron.
One person has high iron.

One can’t loose weight.
One can’t gain weight.

One has anxiety.
One isn’t phased by anything.

And somehow… they find each other.

The deeper I go into fertility work, the more I see this pattern.

We are often drawn to partners who reflect the very imbalance we’re trying to resolve in ourselves.

There’s a deep, subconscious desire to heal what feels incomplete.

Sometimes the thing that frustrates you most about your partner…
is the thing you’re learning to regulate in yourself.

Our relationships are our greatest mirrors.

And yes … this is our pattern.
I work hard to keep my iron up.
My husband works hard to bring his down. 🤪
