When we consider all that goes into creating life and supporting a healthy pregnancy, more is possible!

Fertility After 35🤸

"Sufficient musculature is required both for reproductive behavior and maintenance of pregnancy.

One could speculate that myostatin provides a peripheral signal to the pituitary, 💛💛indicating a physiological level of preparedness. "💛💛

Remember, fertility is much more than age. Factors like gut health, sleep, stress, lifestyle, and more all play important roles.

Your fertility isn’t determined by your age.

💡However, your overall systemic health – from your thyroid health to your blood sugar levels – can influence your chances of conceiving.

💡This is where natural interventions shine. We cannot change the chronological age of an egg, but we can significantly impact the biological environment in which it matures.🫶

Fertility over 35 isn’t a lost cause. It’s an opportunity to be informed and empowered. Remember, fertility is much more than age. Factors like gut health, sleep, stress, lifestyle, and more all play important roles.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed in your efforts to conceive, consider working with a specialist who can create a personalized plan for you. I’ve helped women across the country optimize their chances of conceiving and feel more confident along the way.

How Stress Fuels Hormonal Chaos

Your stress response is governed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. When your brain perceives stress, whether it’s from a stressful job, a physical threat, or insulin resistance in PCOS, your adrenal glands produce cortisol in response.

Normally, this is an incredibly useful temporary response. But for many of us, the chronic stresses of modern life mean our cortisol level ✨stays elevated.

Women with PCOS are particularly sensitive to the disruptive effects of high cortisol. The reason behind this is that cortisol and DHEA(S) are interconnected.

As a naturopath specializing in hormone health, I help women all over the country identify the core drivers of their symptoms, whether it’s high androgens, insulin resistance, or HPA axis dysregulation, and build a personalized roadmap to healing.

Fertility and Light

One study found that seasonal fluctuations in fertilization rates and embryo quality were positively correlated with annual changes in light but not with temperature, humidity, or other seasonal factors.
In most living creatures, the effects of seasonal changes in the daily light/dark cycle on reproduction are evident

In men, photoperiod (the duration of daily light exposure) has been associated with seasonal changes in semen quality.

In women, both direct and indirect effects of the light–dark cycle influence the reproductive process. Even follicular fluid melatonin shifts with seasonal light exposure, suggesting that hormone production, oocyte maturation, and fertilization are not isolated from environmental light patterns.

Fertility is light sensitive by design

Chronic Stress

Cortisol dysregulation, and the hormonal shifts that follow can be challenging to navigate.
But there is calm on the other side of the storm.
As a naturopath specializing in hormone health, I help women all over the country identify the core drivers of their symptoms, whether it’s high androgens, infertiltiy, insulin resistance, or HPA axis dysregulation, and build a personalized roadmap to healing.

The way I want to practice medicine

Time slows down. Not always, but intentionally.

There is no rushing, no fixing.
She can unfold her story honestly and share her experience.
She feels safe and excited to be with a caring, listening confidant.

I often imagine a quiet room.
Light through a window.
A warm cup of tea.
A place where there is time to be seen.

This is the kind of care I aim for in my practice.
Even when the work is virtual.

If you have been looking for care that feels more personal, you may feel at home here.

I am currently welcoming a limited number of new patients.
