Have you been told that your fertility labs are "normal," yet month after month, you’re faced with negative pregnancy tests? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest frustrations I hear from couples trying to conceive — the belief that 'normal' means everything is fine. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
You’ll learn why standard lab results often miss critical information, especially when it comes to thyroid health, testosterone levels, and overall hormonal balance. I’ll also break down why many doctors stop investigating after a basic panel, leaving couples without answers and feeling like their bodies are broken.
But here’s the truth: Normal doesn’t mean optimal. And optimal is what you need when trying to conceive.
If you’ve been drained emotionally, financially, and physically with nothing to show for it, this episode is your reminder that there’s still hope. You don’t have to accept defeat, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
- Why 'normal' labs may still be holding you back from getting pregnant
- The role of thyroid health and how subclinical hypothyroidism is often ignored
- The shocking decline in testosterone levels and why it matters for male fertility
- How Western medicine often fails couples by ignoring the holistic factors that impact fertility
- Why a personalized, foundational approach can make all the difference
XO,
Susan
