×In this fascinating episode, Dr. B breaks down the complex concept of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance—how the experiences, exposures, and lifestyle choices we make today can impact not just our children, but our grandchildren's health as well. This conversation explores the ultimate form of preventative medicine and empowers listeners with actionable steps to positively influence future generations. After overcoming severe mold exposure that triggered the loss of her first pregnancy, Dr. Cummings began researching overlooked causes of pregnancy and lingering postpartum symptoms, such as mold, parasites, and reactivated viral infections. She formed a practice solely focused on support from preconception through the fourth trimester and even coined a term—pan-natal®—to describe the comprehensive attention she believes all people deserve. Her busy practice currently welcomes those in any stage of preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum, with a special focus on chronic, unexplained symptoms. Key Topics Discussed: What is Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance? How experiences, toxins, and triggering events can alter genetic expression The concept that our eggs were present in our grandmother's womb Historical evidence from the Dutch Hunger Winter studies Why this represents the "ultimate preventative medicine Foundational Health Strategies: Light Exposure & Circadian Health Water Quality & Structure Supporting Your Nervous System The Village-less Mother Crisis Additional Epigenetic Factors Key Takeaways: Every positive health choice you make today impacts your children and grandchildren Focus on foundational, low-cost interventions: light, water, nervous system support Women need village support—this isn't a luxury, it's a necessity Small, consistent changes are more powerful than overwhelming overhauls Your thoughts and intentions have measurable impacts on your biology Actionable Steps for Listeners: Get 5 minutes of morning sunlight before checking your phone Invest in blue light-blocking glasses for screen work Upgrade your water filtration system Create a "village map" of support people before major life changes Practice daily breathwork for nervous system regulation Reconsider intermittent fasting timing if trying to conceive Gift to Listeners: 7 evidence-based reasons for chronic symptoms: https://www.pivotalorigins.com/symptoms-guide Follow Brandy On: www.instagram.com/pivotalorigins https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientmotherhood www.facebook.com/pivotalorigins Don't miss out on this in-depth episode filled with practical advice and inspiration to help you on your fertility journey.

Most women are told to “try Mucinex” when struggling with cervical mucus—yet this common advice is based on flawed logic and outdated assumptions. 😳 In this episode, I explain why Mucinex doesn't work for most women who are trying to conceive and what you can do instead to naturally increase fertile cervical mucus —without drugs that were never designed for fertility in the first place. Hi, I’m Dr. Aumatma—a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for over 15 years, with board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I’m the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of the Egg Meets Sperm Podcast , which ranks in the top 5% globally.

This isn’t just theory—this is what actually works . ✨ What you'll learn: The real reason Mucinex fails: It thins mucus—but doesn’t help you make it.

Struggling with fertility? The answer might be hiding in an unexpected place: your gut! 🤯 In this deep dive, we uncover how your digestive health is intimately connected to your ability to conceive and carry a healthy pregnancy. Join me as I'm joined with Margaret Floyd Barry. The author of Eat Naked and The Naked Foods Cookbook , she successfully reversed her own autoimmune condition using the same therapeutic strategies she now applies with clients. A passionate marathon runner, she celebrated her 50th birthday by running 50 miles. Originally from Canada, she now lives just outside of Boston with her husband James, their two daughters, Sia and Sasha, as well as a dog and a cat. She also serves as the Executive Director of Restorative Wellness Solutions, an organization with over 1,300 alumni. So often overlooked, gut health can be a critical piece of the fertility puzzle for both men and women. We'll explore: ✅ The 5 Key Connections: Discover exactly how nutrient absorption, hormone balance, inflammation, hidden infections (like H. pylori!), and overall gut ecology impact your reproductive health. ✅ Why Stool Testing is CRUCIAL: Learn about a specific stool test (like the GI Map) that can reveal vital clues your body is trying to give you – even if you have NO digestive symptoms! ✅ Beyond Probiotics: Understand why just taking a probiotic isn't enough and what a comprehensive gut-healing approach for fertility truly entails. ✅ Specific Pathogens & Markers: We discuss H. pylori's surprising link to male fertility (low testosterone, poor sperm motility) and how certain bacteria can disrupt your hormones (hello, estrogen dominance!). ✅ Actionable Insights: Learn about key dietary triggers (like gluten) and supportive strategies to address digestive dysfunction and reduce inflammation. If you're looking for answers and ready to explore a powerful, often-missed avenue for boosting your fertility, this video is a must-watch! We'll explain why healing your gut isn't just a preliminary step—it's an INTEGRAL part of your fertility journey.

If you’ve ever walked into a health food store or Googled “natural fertility supplements,” chances are you’ve heard of Vitex , also known as Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus-castus) .

Been curious about menstrual cups? Join in this insightful discussion as Sivaranjani Ganapathy shares her decade-long experience, revealing not just the ease and comfort (say goodbye to rashes and hello to tummy-sleeping freedom!), but also a less-talked-about aspect: how menstrual cups can sometimes show changes in your period blood. Sivaranjani Ganapathy’s health journey has been deeply personal and transformative. She was diagnosed with PCOD and faced unexplained infertility, undergoing conventional treatments for two years. These included follicular studies (both with and without medications), failed IUI procedures, and ultimately being offered IVF as the only remaining option. A miscarriage following a spontaneous conception became a pivotal moment—it showed her that conception was possible, but sustaining the pregnancy was the challenge. This insight led her to shift her approach. By tuning into her body and trusting its signals, she was able to conceive naturally—twice—without medical intervention. The process required deep unlearning and working through emotional trauma. Today, Sivaranjani is dedicated to helping other women reconnect with their bodies, release emotional stagnation, and realign with their feminine energy to support healthy menstruation and enhance fertility. Dive deep into the concept of "stagnation" – that darker period blood and clots – and explore practical, gentle methods to encourage healthy flow. Discover: Simple Self-Care Rituals: Learn step-by-step instructions for a gentle uterus massage you can do at home (when not on your period!) to support healthy circulation. The Power of Castor Oil Packs: Uncover how castor oil packs can be a powerful tool for addressing stagnation (with important considerations if you're planning pregnancy!). Easy Acupressure Points: Find out specific acupressure points on your hands that you can gently press or use with magnets or seeds to support your uterus and ovaries. The Liver Connection: Understand the surprising role your liver plays in period health and learn a simple acupressure point to support liver detoxification. But this isn't just about the physical! Explore the fascinating connection between your emotions and your menstrual cycle. Discover how: Unprocessed Emotions: Anger, frustration, fear, and deeply held patterns of shame or the need for validation can manifest as period discomfort and stagnation. Chakra Insights: Get a brief introduction to the chakra system and how imbalances in your root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown chakras can be linked to physical issues. A Quick Chakra Check-in: Participate in a simple color association exercise to gain potential insights into which energy centers might need your attention. If you've tried everything for period issues without lasting relief, this episode encourages you to consider the often-overlooked emotional landscape. Learn about simple practices like guided meditations, frequency music, journaling, and bodywork that can support emotional release and positively impact your period health. Plus, get valuable insights into maintaining a healthy vaginal microbiome, especially if you're using menstrual cups or on a fertility journey. Discover signs of imbalance and simple ways to support your vaginal flora through probiotics. Whether you're a long-time menstrual cup user, struggling with period discomfort, or curious about the holistic connection between your body and emotions, this episode offers practical tips and a fresh perspective on nurturing your cycle.

Plastics are deeply woven into the fabric of our everyday lives—from the water bottles we sip from to the skincare products we apply, and even the yoga pants we wear. But beneath this modern convenience lies an alarming truth: plastics are loaded with hormone-disrupting chemicals that may be sabotaging your fertility, energy, mood, and overall health. In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I share Elena's real-life story of how eliminating plastic exposure for just 30 days dramatically improved her hormone balance, energy, skin, and sleep—and ultimately helped her conceive naturally after 3 years of trying . 🔍 What You'll Learn: What endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) like BPA, BPS, and phthalates are, and how they hijack your hormones How these toxins affect thyroid function, estrogen dominance, testosterone, prolactin , and more Why "BPA-free" doesn't mean safe— BPS and BPF may be worse Why even low doses of plastic toxins can have a big impact—especially during key hormonal transitions The 3-phase detox plan Elena used: Kitchen, personal care, and hidden sources Her hormone lab results before and after the detox How reducing plastic exposure can enhance reproductive health, reduce PMS, and improve energy and sleep 📈 Elena’s Before & After Highlights: Metric Before and After 30 Days Estrogen: Progesterone Ratio28:115:1 Prolactin24 mg/mL16 mg/mLTSH (Thyroid)3.8 µIU/mL2.7 µIU/mLFree Testosterone0.8 pg/mL1.3 pg/mLBPA in Urine—↓ 78%Phthalates in Urine—↓ 62% 🛠️ 5 High-Impact Plastic Swaps to Start Today: Plastic Water Bottles → Stainless or Glass + Home Filter Plastic Food Containers → Glass or Stainless (especially for hot/acidic foods) Nonstick Cookware → Cast Iron or Ceramic Plastic-Packaged Skincare → Natural, fragrance-free alternatives Canned Foods with BPA Lining → Glass Jars or BPA-free Cans 🧪 Testing & Detox Support: Track improvements with hormone panels that include estrogen metabolites Consider urine tests for BPA/phthalates Supplements: NAC, calcium D-glucarate, DIM, B-complex Sweat it out: Sauna therapy can support toxin release 💬 Final Takeaway: Elena’s story isn’t an outlier. While total plastic elimination isn’t realistic, small, strategic changes can create measurable improvements . The goal isn't perfection—it’s reducing your body’s toxic load so it can heal, balance, and thrive.

1 Could Your Immune System Be Sabotaging Your Pregnancy? | Hidden Causes of Recurrent Miscarriage 12:04
The Shocking Truth About "Unexplained" Pregnancy Loss What if I told you that up to 20% of recurrent pregnancy losses aren't actually unexplained—they're just undiagnosed? In this episode, I share the heartbreaking story of my patient who endured FOUR consecutive miscarriages. Every single test came back "normal"—chromosomes, hormones, anatomy—everything. Then we discovered her immune system was literally attacking her pregnancies. Hi! This is Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for 18 years with additional board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I'm the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of Egg Meets Sperm Podcast (a Top 5% podcast). As a 2x best-selling author of "Fertility Secrets" and "(in)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes," I've been recognized with awards including Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor (2015, 2020), Top Women in Medicine Doctor (2020, 2021), and Berkeley Hall of Fame (2022). I've been interviewed on 100+ podcasts and featured as the Holistic Fertility Expert on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump. I've trained hundreds of practitioners worldwide in holistic fertility approaches and certified top doctors in my Fertile Foundations™ system. I'm the founder of Madre Fertility and Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade. The Game-Changing Discovery Here's what most doctors never tell you: Your immune system's job is to attack foreign invaders, but during pregnancy, it must learn to tolerate your baby (who is genetically half foreign to your body). When this delicate balance goes wrong, it can sabotage your pregnancies—not your ability to conceive, but your ability to maintain them. The 4 Hidden Immune Saboteurs I reveal the four critical immune factors that could be destroying your pregnancies: Overactive Natural Killer Cells (found in 44% of "unexplained" losses) Autoimmune Antibodies (causing up to 90% loss rates when untreated) Immune System Imbalance (staying in "attack mode" instead of "protect mode") Gut-Immune Connection (70% of your immune system lives in your gut!) The Hope-Filled Truth Here's the incredible news: Women with immune-related pregnancy loss who receive proper treatment have a 70-80% live birth rate, compared to only 20% without treatment. My patient with four losses? After identifying her immune imbalances and treating them with targeted protocols, she went on to have TWO healthy pregnancies. What You'll Learn The simple blood tests that could have caught this years earlier Why standard pregnancy loss workups miss these factors entirely Both medical and natural treatment options that actually work The exact questions to ask your doctor (don't leave empty-handed!) Red flags that suggest your immune system might be the culprit Your Next Steps If you've experienced recurrent pregnancy loss—especially between 6-10 weeks with "normal" test results—this episode could change everything for you. Your immune system doesn't have to be your enemy; it can become your greatest ally in creating and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Ready to get answers instead of more heartbreak?
