·28 min·2 clips
Monica Cox reveals why IVF might not be your only option and what doctors aren't telling you about fertility success.
Monica Cox opens the episode by welcoming listeners and framing the fertility journey around radical responsibility and holistic health. She introduces guest Jenna Longoria for the second part of their conversation. Jenna discusses the importance of prioritizing health before exploring medical options, noting that innate fertility is a natural design. She critiques the standard fertility clinic process, describing it as a fear-driven algorithm that starts with a PowerPoint presentation on declining egg quality. Jenna shares a personal story about getting an HSG procedure, explaining how she moved from resistance to an empowered decision. Monica and Jenna explore the integration of western medicine with holistic practices, emphasizing that reproductive endocrinologists likely want to help but lack tools for cellular health. Monica cites statistics that IVF babies have a 30% higher risk of health issues, based on a conversation with an autism care center owner. They discuss the concept of 'unexplained infertility,' labeling it a BS diagnosis due to incomplete testing like AMH, which predicts IVF success but not natural pregnancy. Jenna highlights the importance of gut health, mineral balancing, and energy levels for mitochondrial function. The conversation touches on the emotional toll of IVF and the guilt some women feel about using medical assistance. Monica concludes by offering a fertility breakthrough session for listeners ready to take radical responsibility, and Jenna directs listeners to her website and resources.
