In this episode of There Qi Goes, we dive into the truth behind fertility, why it’s not always as hard as social media makes it seem, and how the cultural narrative around "infertility" may be holding women back. As someone who works in women’s health, Katherine shares her personal journey, professional insights, and the myths she wishes more women knew weren’t true.

This conversation is here to destigmatize fertility challenges, break down misconceptions, and empower women with real information and hope — whether you’re trying to conceive, thinking about your fertility, or simply curious.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

What fertility actually means — and why it's not measurable unless you're trying to conceive

Why the belief that “it’s hard to get pregnant” is often a cultural myth, not medical fact

How only 10–15% of women truly have difficulty getting pregnant

Why having PCOS or endometriosis doesn't mean you’re infertile

The role of mindset and belief in your body’s ability to conceive

My personal story of conceiving naturally after nearly two years

The toxic impact of shame and silence around fertility struggles

Why Chinese medicine offers a more compassionate lens on fertility

Using techniques like acupuncture, the Eight Extraordinary Channels, mindful breathing, and other somatic practices, I’ll share ways to help you move forward feeling more balanced, grounded, and empowered.

In this first episode, I’m so excited to share my personal journey with you – one that took me from growing up in a household centered around Western medicine to becoming a licensed acupuncturist and practitioner of classical Chinese medicine. I’ll take you through my early experiences with swimmer's ear, antibiotics, and questioning the traditional medical advice I received, which eventually led me to explore alternative forms of healing. I’ll dive into how a major running injury and a stressful career in marketing pushed me to seek deeper solutions for my physical and emotional pain, leading me to discover acupuncture. From that moment on, everything changed. After just a few sessions of acupuncture, I was able to run again, and over time, this ancient medicine not only helped me heal my physical body but also opened my eyes to the powerful connection between mind, body, and spirit. In this episode, I talk about how my initial skepticism of alternative medicine transformed into a deep passion for helping others heal naturally and energetically. I’ll explain what makes classical Chinese medicine so different from modernized approaches, and why it’s been such a life-changing experience for me. You'll also hear about my struggles with fertility and how my personal journey shaped my passion for focusing on women’s health and wellness. This podcast is here to teach you about the mind-body connection through the unique lens of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I’ll be sharing how our thoughts, emotions, and traumas directly impact our physical health, and how deep, energetic healing from within can change everything. Plus, I’ll introduce you to guest patients who will share their own experiences of healing and transformation, so you can see firsthand how this medicine works. If you’re curious about Chinese medicine, acupuncture, or just looking for a natural, holistic approach to healing, I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we’ll explore how ancient wisdom can help you live a more balanced and healthy life, physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Episode 8

In this episode of There Qi Goes, Katherine Rohland, founder of Manhattan Medicine Woman and a Chinese medicine fertility specialist, challenges one of the most common and frustrating labels in reproductive health: unexplained infertility.

Katherine explains why "unexplained" is not a true diagnosis, but rather a reflection of the limitations within conventional medicine. With over eight years of experience supporting women on their fertility journeys, she shares how she uncovers root causes that are often missed by standard lab work.

Themes:

Why unexplained infertility is often a misinterpretation of underlying symptoms

The critical connection between the nervous system, emotional health, and reproductive function

How chronic stress, anxiety, and lifestyle patterns can block fertility

What standard lab tests are missing and why results that appear “normal” may still indicate imbalance

The importance of treating the whole person—not just isolated symptoms or numbers

Katherine also offers guidance on how to begin identifying what’s really going on in the body, and how to start creating a more supportive path toward conception—whether naturally or with assisted fertility.

In this powerful episode, Katherine Rohland—known as The Manhattan Medicine Woman—guides listeners through one of the most common yet overlooked fertility challenges: the short luteal phase. Speaking to women navigating IVF, hormonal imbalance, or natural conception, Katherine bridges Western science with Chinese medicine to explain how low progesterone and luteal phase issues reveal deeper patterns of depletion and imbalance in the body.

Through a lens of warmth, wisdom, and practicality, she teaches how energy, blood, yin, and yang all play vital roles in reproductive health—and why exhaustion, emotional suppression, and modern lifestyle habits often sit at the root of fertility struggles. Katherine walks listeners through the signs of blood and yin deficiency, the importance of temperature patterns, and how to restore vitality through nourishment, rest, and emotional release.

She also outlines how chronic stress impacts digestion and hormone balance and why “managing stress” isn’t the goal—resolving it is. The episode closes with tangible guidance on building back energy through warming, nutrient-rich foods, emotional awareness, and traditional Chinese medicine principles.

Key Takeaways:

• A luteal phase shorter than 12 days often signals depletion—not failure.
  

• In Chinese medicine, short luteal phases relate to deficiencies in blood, yin, or kidney yang energy.
  

• Chronic stress and emotional suppression deplete reproductive resources.
  

• Warm, cooked, nutrient-dense foods are essential for rebuilding blood and yin.
  

• Consistent nourishment and emotional healing create the foundation for conception and hormonal balance.

In this episode of There Qi Goes, Katherine Rohland—The Manhattan Medicine Woman—opens up a conversation about one of the most misunderstood fertility diagnoses: premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).

Rather than seeing POI as “ovarian failure,” Katherine invites us to view it as the body’s gentle call for restoration. Through the lens of Chinese medicine, she explains how depletion of blood, yin, and qi can disrupt hormones—and how rebuilding nourishment, rest, and emotional balance can reignite fertility and vitality.

With warmth and wisdom, Katherine shares how simple shifts—better digestion, deeper sleep, less stress (and yes, maybe less coffee)—can help women feel hopeful again. POI isn’t the end of the story; it’s your body asking for deeper care, balance, and belief in your ability to heal.

Themes:

POI is not ovarian “failure”—it’s a state of depletion that can be reversed with nourishment and rest.

Chinese medicine views fertility through the balance of blood, yin, and qi.

Digestive health is foundational—if your body can’t absorb nutrients, it can’t make hormones or blood.

Chronic stress, overworking, lack of sleep, and caffeine all deplete kidney and spleen energy.

Supporting kidney energy (the body’s reproductive “battery”) is essential for fertility and hormonal repair.

Healing starts with compassion: your body isn’t broken—it’s protecting you.

In this episode, Katherine breaks down three foundational — yet often misunderstood — concepts in Chinese medicine: heat, cold, and dampness. These energetic patterns don’t just describe how your body feels — they explain why certain symptoms show up, particularly when it comes to reproductive health, fertility, and hormonal balance.Katherine takes what can be complex theory and makes it approachable, relatable, and immediately useful. If you’ve ever wondered why you “run hot,” feel heavy or sluggish, or can’t seem to get warm no matter what you do — this episode will help you connect those sensations to what’s really happening internally.Themes: All imbalances stem from deficiency — not excess. Heat, cold, and dampness show where the body needs support.External extremes (like cold plunges or saunas) don’t fix internal imbalances — they often make them worse.Focus on nourishing, cooked, whole foods to build Yin, Yang, and blood.Cold, raw foods (smoothies, salads) may feel refreshing but weaken the spleen and digestion over time.Your spleen energy is everything — it transforms food into blood, Qi, and sex hormones that sustain fertility and vitality.

In this episode, Katherine dives into how chronic fight, flight, or freeze mode keeps your body stuck in survival and why that directly impacts your fertility. Inspired by a social media post where she shared feeling grounded and energized after a full day of patients and recording, she explains how she rewired her nervous system from chronic low-grade stress to a place of safety and calm.

Through personal stories and patient examples, Katherine breaks down how stress doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it shows up as perfectionism, control around food and exercise, fear of spontaneity, achievement-based self-worth, or constantly questioning yourself. These subtle, long-term patterns can keep your nervous system activated without you even realizing it, draining what she calls your “reproductive health battery.”

Themes: 

• Why being stuck in fight, flight, or freeze deprioritizes digestion and hormone production

• How chronic low-level stress impacts nutrient absorption, blood, yin, qi, and sex hormones

• The connection between childhood experiences and adult nervous system patterns

• Why control, perfectionism, and achievement can be trauma responses

• How looping thoughts and replaying conversations signal nervous system activation

• The importance of feeling uncomfortable emotions instead of suppressing them

• A step-by-step process to identify, feel, and reframe limiting beliefs• How to retrain your brain using awareness and neuroplasticity

• The difference between “having to” and “getting to” — and why perception changes everything

🍃 Let’s work together

In this heartfelt birthday episode, Katherine shares the deeply personal story of why it took her nearly two years to get pregnant with her first child and only two months to conceive her second at age 34. Through the lens of Chinese medicine and lived experience, she unpacks the truth about fertility, preparation, mindset, and what really makes a difference when trying to conceive.

She challenges the common belief that age is the biggest fertility factor and instead explains why overall health, nourishment, and emotional alignment matter far more. Katherine opens up about her history of irregular periods, long-term birth control use, over-exercising, being underweight, and how these patterns depleted her body’s resources. She explains how fertility is not about doing “all the things,” but about being intentional and building blood, yin, qi, and hormonal resilience so the body feels safe enough to conceive.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why age is not the most defining factor in fertility• How chronic depletion (dieting, over-exercising, stress) impacts hormones• The importance of red meat and nutrient-dense foods for building blood and energy• Why slowing down workouts can improve ovulation and progesterone• How being underweight affects reproductive health• The difference between “doing everything” and having a clear, cohesive plan• Why mindset, joy, and emotional alignment matter in conception• The energetic concept of abundance vs. lack when trying to conceive• How planning and preparing your body 3 – 6 months in advance can change everything

In this episode of Unlocking Fertility, Katherine sits down with former patient Megan to share her powerful journey from a low AMH diagnosis to a natural pregnancy. Megan opens up about the fear instilled by the traditional IVF process and how shifting her focus toward Chinese medicine and holistic well-being changed everything.

Katherine and Megan break down the lifestyle and mindset shifts that allowed Megan’s body to finally feel safe enough to conceive naturally.

You’ll learn practical steps to support your fertility:

• Why your AMH levels are not a predictor of your ability to get pregnant naturally, but rather a gauge for IVF candidacy.

• How common foods like onions, garlic, and spicy dishes—along with high-intensity HIIT workouts—can create inflammation (heat) that hinders fertility.

• Moving away from "anxious attachment" and learning to process stress and grief to create emotional security.

• What your tongue and your menstrual cycle symptoms (like bloating and cramps) are actually communicating about your internal health.

In this special episode, Katherine sits down with her client Kelsey to discuss her personal fertility journey and how she went from unexplained infertility and painful IUI treatments to getting pregnant naturally. Kelsey openly shares how "burning the candle at both ends"—through intense exercise, restrictive dieting, and a high-stress lifestyle—was secretly depleting her body's resources. She explains how joining Katherine's small group program helped her realize that stepping back, slowing down, and nourishing her body were the missing pieces to her fertility puzzle.

You'll learn practical steps and insights from Kelsey's story:

• How intense daily habits, like restrictive diets and over-exercising, can act as major stressors on your fertility.

• The reality of navigating the fertility clinic process and dealing with unexplained infertility and painful IUI cycles.

• Why gaining weight and eating meat (after being a lifelong vegetarian) were essential steps in rebuilding Kelsey's body resources.

• The power of slowing down and doing less to achieve a pain-free menstrual cycle almost immediately.

• The mental and emotional shifts required to prioritize true nourishment over fitting into a certain clothing size.

• Details about Kelsey's podcast, Lit Vibes Only, where she and her co-host dive into the world of romance, fantasy, and thriller books.

Whether you're currently navigating unexplained infertility or feeling burnt out from the pressure of doing "all the things," this episode serves as a beautiful reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do for your fertility is to slow down and listen to your body.

If this resonates with you, Katherine would love to hear from you.

In this episode of Unlocking Fertility, Katherine Rowland dives deep into the most common nutrition mistakes women make when trying to conceive naturally. As a Chinese medicine practitioner with over nine years of experience and a 90% success rate, Katherine explains that fertility isn't about "magic", it's about learning to listen to your body and providing it with the abundance of resources it needs to sustain a pregnancy.

She breaks down why modern trends like intermittent fasting often backfire for fertility and how the "energetics" of your food can either build or deplete your internal "reproductive battery".     By shifting from a mindset of restriction to one of deep nourishment, you can create a body   that feels safe enough to grow another human being.

Themes:

The "How" vs. The "What" - Why focusing only on ingredients is a mistake if you aren't considering cooking methods and your state of mind while eating.

Warmth is Key: Why cold, raw foods weaken your "spleen" energy, the system responsible for holding a fetus in place, and why warm, cooked foods are essential.

The Nervous System Connection - How eating while stressed or rushing prevents your body from prioritizing digestion and resource creation.

Food as Medicine - Understanding food energetics (hot, cold, ascending, descending) to choose the right fuel for your specific body type.

The Coffee & Kidney Connection - Why your morning caffeine habit might be drying out the fluids needed for sex hormones and blood.

Debunking Fasting: Why skipping meals, especially breakfast, tells your body it is in "survival mode," where babies are not created.

Nourishment over Restriction - Why your body holds onto weight when it is depleted and how eating more (of the right things) can actually support health and weight goals.

Whether you're planning to get pregnant in 2026 or simply want to strengthen your reproductive health, this episode is a gentle, nourishing guide to help you start the year with clarity, support, and confidence.
