Nourishing Women Podcast

You've been told your labs are “normal,” but your period is MIA, ovulation’s a no-show, and pregnancy is STILL not happening. In today’s episode, we’re busting the myth that normal labs = everything is fine. If your body is showing clear signs that something’s off, you need more than a copy-paste lab report—you need real answers, and a plan that honors YOUR body’s needs. We’re breaking down the most important labs for period loss and fertility (like FSH, LH, Estradiol, AMH, and more), what they actually mean, and why “low-normal” isn’t the green light it seems. If you’re being gaslit with the phrase “everything looks fine,” this episode is exactly what you need to listen to.

In today’s powerful episode, I’m joined by gut health expert Dr. Heather Finley to explore the invisible yet critical link between digestive health, mineral balance, and your hormones.  We unpack why so many women with a history of dieting, overtraining, and under-eating are now struggling with chronic bloating, constipation, fatigue, and infertility—and why it’s NOT just about food intolerance or stress. Dr. Finley shares: What minerals actually do in your body (beyond the basics) How restriction wrecks digestion and creates mineral depletion Why mineral imbalances show up as digestive symptoms When to consider functional lab testing (like HTMA) How to live in wellness without spiraling into obsession Learn more about Heather on her website or by DMing her on Instagram the word MINERALS.

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. Because if you’re on the path to period recovery or trying to get pregnant naturally—healing your gut and regulating your stress response isn’t optional. It’s essential. Here’s what we got into:

If you're trying to conceive but your period is missing, I want you to know: you're not broken, and you're not alone. Many women experience hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA), where the body suppresses reproductive functions due to stress, under-eating, or over-exercising. But the good news is—with the right nourishment, recovery is possible. So today, I’m walking you through exactly how I’d eat if I were trying to get pregnant with no period. Listen to learn more!

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. Usually, we focus on what to do if it’s elevated—“estrogen dominance”. But what do you do if your estrogen is low, and how do you know if it’s low? 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.

Minerals are a foundation to fertility. We want before pregnancy to be a time of mineral replenishment. You want to be in the positive, because nothing demands more nutrition than creating human life and your body’s needs in the process to making that beautiful baby. Nothing will deplete you more than pregnancy and postpartum. So we don’t want to start off in a deficit. This is why with every client we work with, after they get their first recovery period, we order an HTMA test to assess their mineral status and develop a customized gameplan based on their personal results so they can start off pregnancy in a state of nutrient replenishment.
