Ep 79: The Missing Link - How Trauma, Fertility & Pregnancy Loss Are Connected
When it comes to fertility and pregnancy loss, the conversation often stops at ovulation tracking and lifestyle changes.
But what about the deeper layers?
In today’s episode, we’re uncovering the missing piece—the undeniable connection between physical health, mental well-being, and reproductive health.
Many women instinctively know something isn’t right in their bodies—whether it’s chronic fatigue, low iron, or unresolved trauma—yet they’re told they can still try to conceive without deeper investigation.
** NOTE: Not ALL women will experience Pregnancy Loss as Trauma - I cannot dictate how the experience will be stored in their body BUT I can tell you that this was my experience & Numerous other women's experiences too **
The truth? Your body knows when it’s safe to sustain a pregnancy. If you’re in survival mode, your reproductive system is the first to go offline.
We explore:
💡 Why stress, trauma, and depletion signal to the body that now isn’t the time to conceive.
💡 How chronic health issues and nervous system dysregulation impact implantation and pregnancy.
💡 Why most women don’t get answers until they’ve endured multiple losses—and how we can change that.
💡 The holistic approach to healing—beyond mindset work, beyond protocols, into full-body integration.
If you’ve experienced pregnancy loss or infertility, or if you’re a practitioner supporting women through this journey, this episode is for you.
