After over two decades of helping women and couples through the maze of infertility, one thing has become very clear: fertility is not just about lab results. It’s about you—your whole being, your internal rhythm, your elemental nature.

This week, I joined Dr. Aumatma Simmons, host of the Egg Meet Sperm podcast to talk about something I rarely get to share in such depth: the Five Elements of Chinese Medicine and how they influence fertility.

Discovering the powerful links between the physical, the mental, the emotional, the spiritual, and the environmental shifted my understanding of health and wellness forever.

I am a strong believer in the importance of health education, for knowledge is power when you have the tools for effective self care.
