Episode 23 - How to Know If You're Actually Ovulating (And Why It Matters)12 Aug 202500:18:56

Ovulation is more than a step in the fertility process. It’s a key driver of hormonal balance and an important sign of overall health. Knowing when and if you’re ovulating can uncover hidden imbalances, offer insight into conditions such as PCOS or perimenopause, and guide more informed health decisions at every stage of life.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor shares how to recognize the signs of ovulation, clear up common myths, and use simple tools to track it with confidence. She explains the body’s natural signals, ways to confirm ovulation at home, and what to watch for if you suspect it’s not happening. This knowledge can help you support your hormones, improve your cycles, and feel more connected to your body.

We’ll explore:
✔️ Why ovulation matters for hormonal balance beyond fertility
✔️ Common myths about ovulation timing and cycle day “rules”
✔️ How to track ovulation using basal body temperature, cervical mucus, and hormone testing
✔️ Signs you may not be ovulating and what they reveal about your health
✔️ Tools and apps that make cycle tracking simpler and more accurate

If you’ve ever felt unsure about what your body is telling you mid-cycle, this episode gives you the tools to decode those changes with clarity. You’ll leave with practical ways to confirm ovulation, spot patterns in your cycle, and use that insight to better support your hormonal health.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor is joined by Christina Nguyen, a licensed acupuncturist and integrative medicine practitioner with over 15 years of experience in fertility care. Drawing from both her clinical background and her own decision to undergo egg freezing, Christina offers a clear, deeply informed perspective on how fertility preservation works, why timing matters, and what often gets overlooked when women explore this path too late. Through honest, practical insights, she sheds light on a process that’s often misunderstood and equips listeners with the knowledge they need to make confident, informed decisions about their reproductive future.

We’ll explore:
✔️ The role of egg freezing in fertility preservation and future planning

Episode 12 - Hormones Feeling Off? Here's Where to Start29 May 202500:12:00

Feeling off, but your labs say everything’s “normal”? You’re not imagining it. For many women in their late 30s and 40s, this is a common and confusing reality.

Hormonal symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, weight gain, or shifts in your cycle often get brushed off when standard test results come back within range. But that doesn’t mean nothing’s going on.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down why “normal labs” don’t always tell the full story—and what you can do to start getting real answers. Whether you’re wondering if you’re in perimenopause, feeling dismissed by conventional care, or simply trying to better understand what your body is telling you, this conversation is a starting point.

We’ll explore:
✔️ Why symptoms matter—even when labs look fine

✔️ How tracking your cycle can reveal key hormonal patterns

✔️ The difference between “normal” and “optimal” hormone levels

✔️ What tests are worth considering (and when to take them)

✔️ How a holistic, root-cause approach can make all the difference

If you’ve been feeling unheard or unsure about your hormonal health, this episode offers clarity, practical guidance, and reassurance that you’re not alone — and that your symptoms are valid.

Episode 5 - The Gut-Thyroid Connection With Dr. Valerie Gettings09 Apr 202500:27:05

Welcome to Modern Women’s Wellness — the podcast for women who are done feeling dismissed, confused, and frustrated when it comes to their health.

Is your thyroid quietly disrupting your hormones, energy, and fertility? For many women, the signs are subtle — weight that won’t budge, thinning hair, constant fatigue or bloating — and often dismissed. But behind the scenes, your gut and thyroid are in constant conversation, and when that connection breaks down, everything else follows.

We’ll dive into:

✔️ Why skin issues, brain fog, and fatigue often stem from the gut
✔️ The link between histamine, high estrogen, and reacting to “everything”

✔️ How toxins and personal care products can impact thyroid function

Have you ever followed a healthy routine: eating balanced meals, staying active, doing all the right things, yet still felt completely out of sync with your body? Maybe your fatigue isn’t improving, your skin’s acting up, your periods are getting worse, or your doctor tells you “everything looks fine.” For many women, these symptoms are the result of nutrient depletion and hormonal imbalances that aren’t being addressed by conventional care.

Episode 3 - Burnout: Tips for Women to Feel Their Best with Dr. Onna Lo09 Apr 202500:32:30

Burnout isn’t just about feeling tired. It’s the chronic, creeping exhaustion that drains your energy, dulls your joy, and disrupts your hormones, mood, and fertility. And for high-achieving women, it often hides in plain sight — masked as ambition, productivity, or “just a busy season.”

✔️ Why misalignment in your life and career can quietly drain you
✔️ How chronic stress disrupts hormones, fertility, and vitality

Episode 20 - Which Stage of Perimenopause Am I In? How to Feel Empowered Through Every Phase23 Jul 202500:16:02

You’re trying to stay on top of nutrition, sleep, and movement, but things still feel different. Maybe your periods are less predictable. Maybe your stress response is heightened. Maybe you're just not feeling as grounded in your body as you used to.

Perimenopause isn’t just one moment or milestone — it’s a progression. And understanding where you are in that transition can make all the difference in how you support your hormones, your energy, and your mental clarity.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down the four clinically recognized phases of the menopausal transition. She explains what happens hormonally in each phase, what symptoms to pay attention to even before your period changes, and how to approach lab work, HRT, and lifestyle support with more clarity and precision.

We’ll explore:

✔️ The four phases of the menopause transition and how to identify them

✔️ Why hormonal symptoms can show up even with regular periods

✔️ How to interpret FSH, AMH, and other labs in the context of your cycle

✔️ The role of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone across phases

✔️ What HRT looks like based on where you are in the transition

If you've been wondering whether the shifts you're noticing are "normal" or "too early," this episode gives you the language and framework to better understand your body and advocate for the right kind of support.

Episode 18 - How to Actually Get Enough Protein and Fiber in a Day09 Jul 202500:21:33

Despite best intentions, most women are unknowingly under-eating two of the most foundational nutrients for hormone health: protein and fiber. And the ripple effects show up in your energy, mood, digestion, cravings, sleep, and more.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down what your body actually needs to feel steady and supported. She walks you through how to hit realistic daily targets, why the timing of protein matters, and how to make food choices that leave you energized, not exhausted.

Creatine in Women’s Health: Bridging the Gap from Menstruation through Pregnancy to Menopause

Episode 15 - Creatine: A Game-Changer for Women's Health20 Jun 202500:17:14

Feeling drained, foggy, or like your body’s working against you, but not sure why? For many women, it’s not just hormones. It could be low creatine levels, too.

Despite its reputation as a gym supplement for men, creatine is one of the most researched and most overlooked supports for women’s health. Its impact goes far beyond the gym, affecting everything from mental clarity and mood to cycle health and energy.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor breaks down how creatine supports women through every hormonal phase — from menstruation and pregnancy to perimenopause and menopause. Backed by emerging research and real-world insights, she shares what creatine actually does in the body, why women tend to run low, and how smart supplementation can help fill the gap.

We’ll explore:

✔️ Why creatine matters more for women than we’ve been told

✔️ How creatine supports brain health, sleep, energy, and body composition

✔️ The link between creatine levels and pregnancy outcomes

✔️ What dosing strategies work best (and who needs them most)

✔️ Why vegetarians and vegans may especially benefit

If you’ve been feeling off but overlooked, this episode offers clarity, practical guidance, and reassurance that your symptoms matter — and that creatine could be the missing link in your hormonal health.

In this episode, Dr. Miranda Naylor talks with Dr. Kalea Wattles, a naturopathic doctor and functional fertility specialist,  about how mitochondrial health plays a central role in reproductive longevity, egg quality, and fertility outcomes. With a unique background working alongside IVF clinics and functional medicine leaders, she breaks down the science behind mitochondrial function — and how everyday choices can strengthen your fertility from the cellular level.


We’ll explore:

✔️ How mitochondria impact ovulation, egg maturation, and embryo development

✔️ The role of oxidative stress—and how to counter it with diet, sleep, and antioxidants

✔️ Simple lifestyle shifts that support fertility at any age

✔️ Functional lab tests that can reveal hidden metabolic or mitochondrial issues


Whether you’re trying to conceive, planning to freeze your eggs, or simply want to preserve fertility for the future, this conversation is packed with practical, evidence-based strategies to support your body’s most energy-intensive process: reproduction.
