Episode Summary

If you're currently going through IVF, you've had rounds that failed, or you're considering it, this episode is for you. I answer the questions I get asked most: how do you know if IVF is actually your next step, how many rounds is too many, and what testing should you do beforehand. I walk through the mistakes I see most often: going in without knowing why you're not conceiving, rushing into another round without retesting what didn't work, and pushing through a cycle that was never going to succeed. You'll also learn what a properly tracked cycle should actually look like, why "normal" labs often aren't, and why detoxing after IVF isn't about a dramatic cleanse; it's about helping your body reset. Part 2 will cover the transfer and what to look for in embryo quality.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • IVF not working doesn't mean you're broken; it means the treatment wasn't right for you right now
  • Know why you're not getting pregnant first. If it's not happening naturally, something is missing
  • 2-3 rounds should be enough if you're properly prepped; more usually means something was missed
  • There's no such thing as truly "normal" labs when you're struggling to conceive
  • A properly tracked cycle tells you what's working; without it you're guessing
  • Detoxing after IVF just means helping your body drain and reset, not a dramatic cleanse

Ep.242: Endometriosis and PCOS: Can You Have Both?13 Sep 202600:28:52

Episode Summary

If you have endometriosis but you're also wondering whether PCOS could be part of the picture, this episode is for you. I break down why we're seeing these two conditions show up together more often, why they share high inflammation and hormonal imbalance even though the underlying mechanisms are different, and why conventional care usually only catches the more obvious, dominant diagnosis. I walk through a real patient case: a 30-year-old with confirmed endometriosis who's also developing early PCOS markers nobody had flagged, and how her full history, from childhood stress to environmental exposures, helped us understand why.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Endometriosis and PCOS/PMOS can happen together, more common than you'd think
  • Both share high inflammation, but endo is autoimmune, PMOS is metabolic
  • Conventional care often catches one condition and misses the other
  • PMOS is a loop: insulin resistance disrupts ovulation, raising AMH, hurting mitochondria
  • Your full history often reveals more than current labs alone
  • No protocol works well while your environment still works against you

Episode Summary

If you've been told your labs are "normal", but you're still not pregnant, this episode is for you. I walk you through real, live examples of results that were called normal, and explain why they weren't. You'll learn the real difference between advocating for yourself and trying to become your own fertility specialist, why relying on AI or Google to interpret your labs and build your own protocol can quietly waste the one thing you can't get back: time, and what to actually do instead: organize your labs, ask sharper questions, and build a real team around you. I also share a raw case of a client whose fibroids, cyst, and endometriosis turned out to be hiding a dangerous heavy metal toxicity nobody had caught.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • If you can't get pregnant, something is going on; there's no such thing as "normal" labs
  • Advocating for yourself is healthy; becoming your own specialist wastes time you can't get back
  • AI and Google lack real clinical experience and can confidently give wrong guidance
  • One "normal" GI-MAP actually showed leaky gut, a missed blood flag, and low sperm count
  • Organize your labs chronologically, so you understand your case and ask sharper questions
  • A client's fibroids and endo were hiding dangerously high lead levels, caught through further testing

Episode Summary

If you've ever wondered whether the environment you're living in could be affecting your fertility, or you're preparing for a second pregnancy after a rough first postpartum experience, this episode is for you. Dr. Nicole joins me again to share her full story, undiagnosed PCOS for years, the apartment that was making her and her son sick every two weeks, and how everything shifted once they moved. She opens up about her first postpartum experience, including a raw, honest moment of just how hard it got, and walks through everything she's doing differently this time, real bloodwork instead of just trusting "it's fine," an expanded supplement protocol, and a support system built in advance. Oh, and she's pregnant with twins.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Nicole had undiagnosed PCOS for years until Dr. Jane spotted it in her old labs
  • Her apartment (suspected mold, EMF, chemicals) was making her and her son sick every 2 weeks
  • A 5-day fast helped reset her metabolic terrain, then she conceived twins
  • Trust your own labs, not just "it's fine," she's doing real bloodwork this time
  • Postpartum is the biggest hormonal shift in the shortest time, treat it like real recovery
  • Letting go of expectations was a turning point for both her fertility and her milk supply

Episode Summary

If you've been through a miscarriage and you're wondering what to do next, physically, emotionally, or when it's actually safe to try again, this episode is for you. I share my own miscarriage story, what I wish someone had told me at the time, and what I now tell my own patients. You'll learn what to actually do in the days right after a loss, why I recommend a maximum 7-day window before considering intervention, how to support your body through the hormone crash and nutrient depletion that follows, and how testing should look different for a first miscarriage versus recurrent loss. If you've been told to "just wait and try again" with no real guidance, this episode will give you an actual plan.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • One miscarriage doesn't mean you'll never carry a healthy pregnancy
  • A 7-day window lets the body try to miscarry naturally before intervening
  • The hormone crash after a miscarriage causes real mood swings, not just "in your head"
  • Take real time off work, physical recovery is more intense than expected
  • After a first loss, basic testing offers real reassurance before trying again
  • After recurrent losses, expand testing to partner DNA, immune markers, and the uterus

Episode Summary

If you've done more than one round of IVF and you're wondering whether you really need another, this episode is for you. I break down why so many couples end up doing 5, 8, even 10+ rounds, bouncing between clinics without ever getting a real answer for why it's not working. You'll learn what every IVF round should be teaching you, the questions to ask your clinic to know if they're actually invested in your case, and why waiting years for something as simple as a DNA fragmentation test or a microbiome check can mean rounds of unnecessary IVF. Whether you haven't started yet, you're a few rounds in, or you're well past five, this one will help you figure out what's actually missing before you sign up for another round.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Couples now do far more IVF rounds, often bouncing between clinics without addressing the root cause
  • Every round should teach you something; debrief on what happened and who's responsible
  • A clinic that just says "let's try again" without explaining why is a red flag
  • One couple wasn't tested for DNA fragmentation until year 8; it came back at 22%
  • Treating a missed infection got one couple pregnant 6 weeks after 5 failed rounds
  • Trust your gut about a clinic from the first appointment; don't start round 1 if it feels wrong

Episode Summary

If you have endometriosis and it keeps coming back no matter what you've tried, this episode is for you. I walk through a real patient's lab results live: iron, copper and zinc, electrolytes, vaginal microbiome, stool testing, and DUTCH hormone testing, to show you exactly what a fertility-trained lens catches that a generalist or automated read misses. You'll see why an iron transfusion didn't tell the full story, why a "normal" vaginal microbiome result actually wasn't, why she had severe leaky gut nobody addressed, and why her estrogen was actually low, not high, despite the common assumption that endometriosis always means excess estrogen. If your labs have come back "fine" but nothing's actually changed, this one will show you what might be missing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • "Normal" ferritin doesn't mean iron is fine; high iron and saturation can be a missed red flag
  • Automated reports can miss real problems; one test read "normal" despite zero healthy bacteria detected
  • Treat parasites before bacteria, and restore drainage and energy before either; order matters
  • Severe leaky gut can hide behind normal-looking bloodwork, since gut markers come from a separate test
  • Endometriosis doesn't always mean high estrogen; some cases show low estrogen concentrated in one area
  • Minimizing results as "not that bad" can add years to your fertility journey

Episode Summary

If you've been given a fertility protocol that's supposed to be working but somehow isn't, this episode is for you. I sit down with Dr Aumatma Simmons, a double board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist with nearly 20 years of experience in fertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, to talk about why research-based dosing so often fails in the real world, and why the same protocol can work beautifully for one person and do nothing (or make things worse) for another. We get into why testing has to come before any protocol, why male partners are so often undertested, and why "normal" results don't always mean there's nothing going on. You'll also hear real patient stories, including a couple who realized after months of work together that the outcome they actually wanted wasn't the one they thought they did.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Research-based dosing often fails; the same "proven" dose can help one person and harm another
  • Protocols should be research-informed, filtered through clinical experience, not followed blindly
  • Addressing one system at a time works better than overwhelming the body at once
  • Male partners are often severely undertested, sometimes for years
  • "Normal" results don't always mean nothing's wrong
  • Mold exposure is a rapidly rising, often-missed fertility factor

Episode Summary

If you've been trying to conceive for more than two years, this episode is for you. I break down why your case isn't average, and the three biggest mistakes I see holding complex fertility cases back: fragmented care across practitioners who never talk to each other, a male partner who's undertested because "normal" sperm results don't mean optimal results, and chasing one single root cause when it's almost always ten small imbalances stacking up. You'll hear a real case where a couple didn't test DNA fragmentation until year eight of trying, and why the biggest shift often isn't another supplement, it's being honest about the real change your body and your life actually need.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Trying for 2+ years? Your case isn't average, it needs a different approach
  • Fragmented care across practitioners creates overwhelm and repeats mistakes
  • "Normal" sperm means good enough for IVF, not optimal conception
  • One couple's DNA fragmentation wasn't tested until year 8, tied to years of untreated insomnia
  • Complex cases are rarely one root cause, usually 10 small imbalances stacking up
  • The biggest shift is often honesty about real life changes, not another supplement

Episode Summary

If you're dealing with chronic gut issues and wondering how that connects to your fertility, this episode is for you. I sit down with Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, who nearly died from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis and now helps people reverse gut disease naturally. We break down the five physiological imbalances behind most chronic gut and fertility issues, digestion, microbiome, leaky gut, nervous system dysregulation, and drainage pathways, and share a real patient story where gut work took sperm viability from zero to over 60%. You'll also learn what's safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, why everything you eat reaches your baby within 30 minutes, and why healing your gut before conceiving can change everything.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Five imbalances drive most gut and fertility issues: digestion, microbiome, leaky gut, nervous system, and drainage pathways
  • One patient's sperm viability rose from 0% to over 60% after 18 months of gut-focused work
  • Resolve gut issues at least a year before conceiving, since a prenatal alone won't fix IBS/IBD-driven nutrient deficiencies
  • Rule of thumb: nothing new during pregnancy, have things established beforehand
  • Everything a breastfeeding mother eats reaches the baby within about 30 minutes
  • Curcumin is safe long-term for gut inflammation and can continue through pregnancy and postpartum

Ep.233: What It Really Takes to Conceive In Your 40s12 Aug 202600:21:35

Episode Summary

If you're in your 40s and trying to conceive, and you feel like you're constantly hearing that your clock is running out, this episode is for you. I share two real stories from my practice: both women are 45 years old, and both got pregnant, but through completely different paths. One went through IVF after a previous clinic wrongly blamed her egg quality when the real issue was her husband's sperm. The other conceived naturally during a break from active treatment. You'll learn why biological age matters more than the number on your birth certificate, why sperm quality is just as important as egg quality, and why age alone should never be the reason you're written off.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Age is only one factor; biological age (shaped by stress, toxins, and history) matters more than the number on your birth certificate
  • Embryo quality reflects both partners; blaming poor results on egg quality alone often overlooks sperm quality
  • DNA fragmentation in sperm can improve significantly with focused work; one husband's dropped from 25 to 17 in about two months
  • Natural conception after 40 requires real discipline, less room for alcohol, dietary lapses, or disrupted sleep than in your 20s or 30s
  • After 40, every cycle matters; most patients need 3 to 6 months of focused, tested work before deciding on next steps
  • Going into IVF blindly out of fear can cause more harm than good; get tested and optimize your health first

Episode Summary

If you've ever wondered why "family planning" in the US almost never means help getting pregnant, this episode is for you. I sit down with Leonard Lopoo, a policy researcher and author of “Wanting Children”, to unpack how US family planning policy was built, who it was designed to help, and who it's always left out. We get into the history he uncovered in his research, including Nixon-era recordings revealing the eugenics-adjacent thinking behind some of these programs, why most states still don't mandate insurance coverage for infertility treatment, and how countries like France, Poland, and Estonia support families very differently. Len also shares his central argument for what should actually determine policy: not income, but whether someone genuinely wants to become a parent.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • US "family planning" policy means contraception, not fertility support, not even ovulation medications
  • Many federal programs began in the 1970s under a health equity banner, but archival research reveals more complex motives
  • Most states don't mandate infertility insurance coverage, and where it exists, it's often gated behind years of trying
  • Medicaid excludes ovulation-stimulating medications, and newer programs like TrumpRx exclude Medicaid recipients entirely
  • France, Poland, and Estonia offer far more generous fertility support, some funding up to six IVF cycles
  • Len argues policy should prioritize "wantedness," not income, since that's what actually predicts better outcomes for children

About My Guest

Leonard Lopoo brings a unique and highly relevant perspective to conversations around fertility, family planning, and modern parenthood by examining the larger economic and societal forces shaping these decisions. Rather than approaching declining birth rates solely from a medical or cultural lens, he helps audiences understand how factors like housing affordability, childcare costs, economic insecurity, healthcare access, and workplace pressures increasingly influence whether and when people feel able to start families. His research-driven perspective adds important context to today’s conversations around fertility and reproductive choices, helping listeners connect personal experiences to broader systemic trends in a thoughtful, accessible way.

Ep.231: What to Test and Monitor Throughout Pregnancy04 Aug 202600:25:21

If you’ve been trying to conceive for over a year and want this level of detective work on your case, apply to work with me and my team here: https://drjanelevesque.com/application/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=podcast_audio_captivate

It takes about 5–7 minutes to complete. If we can help, we’ll invite you to a free Fertility Clarity Call with one of my team members. On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

If you just found out you're pregnant, or you're getting ready to start trying, this episode is for you. I walk you through exactly what to test the moment you get a positive result, hCG and progesterone, not just one or the other, and why waiting until your first ultrasound to know if things are okay isn't good enough. You'll learn what I test for in each trimester, from methylation and thyroid function to bile acids and cervical length, why easy conception doesn't mean an easy pregnancy, and two real patient stories where catching something early through testing made all the difference.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • hCG alone doesn't tell you enough; pairing it with progesterone gives a fuller picture of the pregnancy
  • Conventional standards accept progesterone above 10, but levels above 20 offer better support
  • Don't stop progesterone when a trimester ends; wait until testing confirms the placenta has taken over
  • Struggled to conceive? Underlying issues can resurface during pregnancy, so more monitoring helps, not less
  • No symptoms doesn't mean no risk; some complications only show up through testing
  • Catching problems early through regular testing helps prevent emergencies later in pregnancy

Ep.230: Two Week Wait: A Fertility Guide to Diet and Testing31 Jul 202600:28:57

Episode Summary

If you've been struggling to get through the two-week wait every single month, or you've been stuck in this cycle for months without answers, this episode is for you. I walk you through exactly what to eat and what to avoid during this window, why warmth and blood flow matter for implantation, and how sleep, movement, and stress directly affect your progesterone levels. You'll also learn why early pregnancy symptoms and PMS symptoms are so hard to tell apart, and why I recommend giving your body just three to four cycles before shifting from optimizing naturally to actually getting tested.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Implantation happens 5 days post-ovulation, so you can be pregnant a week before any test confirms it
  • Early pregnancy and PMS symptoms feel nearly identical, especially without close cycle tracking
  • Warm, easy-to-digest foods support uterine blood flow, since digestion and reproduction share the same cavity
  • Stress converts progesterone into cortisol, testosterone, or estrogen, so managing stress protects it
  • Doing one or two things intentionally beats trying every tip at once
  • After 3-4 months of trying, it's time to test, not keep optimizing, that's information, not bad luck

Episode Summary

If you've been taking supplement after supplement while trying to conceive and you're still not sure what's actually working, this episode is for you. I break down the four biggest mistakes I see: treating supplements as the main strategy instead of support, assuming more is always better, following influencer advice with no context, and reaching for advanced tools like peptides before covering the basics. You'll learn my right therapy, right person, right time framework, why testing before you supplement matters more than which brand you choose, and why supplements can never outwork a lifestyle that's constantly working against you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Supplements are tools to support your diet and lifestyle, not a replacement for them
  • More isn't automatically better; higher doses, more products, or advanced delivery methods aren't the goal on their own
  • Following influencer or research recommendations without your own context, genetics, or testing rarely translates to real results
  • Testing before supplementing lets you address root cause instead of just chasing symptoms
  • Not all supplements are created equal; brand quality, formulation, and even fillers can determine whether something actually works for you

Episode Summary

If you're navigating a health crisis and a family-building journey at the same time, this episode is for you. I sit down with Anna, founder of Feel Well by Anna, who was diagnosed with a rare cancer in the middle of finding out she was pregnant, and whose fertility journey started with an ectopic pregnancy discovered mid-surgery. We talk through her decision to freeze her eggs before chemotherapy, the mindset work that carried her through years of fear-based decisions, and what finally shifted for her, from nutrient-dense eating to cycle tracking to finding the right partner, on the way to her current, healthy pregnancy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Fear-driven decisions are rarely clear decisions; pausing even two weeks can bring the perspective needed to choose well
  • Tracking fertility signs for years before trying to conceive builds real body literacy, not just the months leading up to it
  • Standard progesterone reference ranges are often too low; NAPRO practitioners look for levels above 20, not just above 10
  • The right partner matters for fertility in ways that go beyond biology; nervous system safety and regulation play a real role
  • Constant testing and monitoring brings some people peace and creates anxiety for others; knowing which one you are matters
  • Diet, lifestyle basics, and finding the right partner mattered more to Anna's outcome than any single supplement or protocol

Episode Summary

If you've been struggling to conceive for more than two or three years and no one has been able to pin down the root cause, this episode is for you. I walk you through the exact hierarchy we use with chronic fertility cases, why treating one infection like Lyme, mold, or parasites in isolation almost never works, and why pathogens have to be cleared in a specific order, biggest to smallest, before the body can actually heal. You'll learn why symptoms like brain fog, joint pain, or sleep disruption each point to something specific happening in the body, why herx reactions above a six out of ten mean you're pushing too hard, and why years of detoxing without results usually means a piece of the puzzle, not the whole approach, was missing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Infections never come alone; treating one pathogen in isolation almost never fully resolves chronic fertility issues
  • There's a specific order to clear infections, biggest to smallest: worms and parasites first, then mold, bacteria, and viral last
  • Herx reactions above a six out of ten for more than three days mean the body is being pushed too hard, not healing properly
  • Each symptom points to something specific; low energy suggests mitochondrial or methylation support is needed; brain fog suggests neurotoxic load
  • Biofilm disruption matters; without it, pathogens can survive months of treatment while still hiding in the body
  • Partner testing is essential; couples often pass the same infections back and forth without realizing it

Episode Summary

If you have PCOS and you're tired of being told to just take inositol or lose weight without anyone explaining why none of it is working, this episode is for you. I break down why PCOS was just renamed polyendocrine metabolic syndrome, why it starts in the brain and not the ovaries, and the three windows where the root cause actually forms, in utero, during puberty, and in adulthood. You'll learn the full hormone cascade behind your symptoms, from GnRH pulse frequency to androgens to anovulation, why testing matters more than guessing with supplements, and why nervous system regulation, blood sugar, movement, and trauma processing have to come before any protocol will actually work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

– PCOS has been renamed polyendocrine metabolic syndrome, reflecting that it was never really about the ovaries

– Root causes trace back to three windows, in utero, puberty, and adulthood, not just current symptoms

– Maternal androgens and paternal metabolic issues can program a child's future PCOS risk before birth

– The disease actually starts in the brain, through GnRH pulse frequency, not in the ovaries

– Testing matters more than guessing with supplements, since one supplement alone will never address every layer of the imbalance

– Nervous system regulation has to come before any protocol, since it's where the whole hormonal cascade begins

Episode Summary

If you have endometriosis and you're feeling overwhelmed trying to understand the root cause, the testing, and your actual treatment options, this episode is for you. I break down the three leading theories on what causes endometriosis, why it should never be classified as just a "gynecological condition" given how deeply it involves your immune, vascular, and nervous systems, and why cutting out a lesion surgically so often doesn't stop it from coming back. You'll learn the difference between testing that shows how endo is impacting your body versus testing that reveals the actual root cause, why your partner's testing matters just as much as yours, and why I recommend about six months of prep before surgery or IVF instead of jumping straight into a procedure that may not have even been necessary.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Endometriosis takes about 10 years to diagnose on average, so the real number of women affected is likely much higher than the reported 10%
  • Endometriosis shouldn't be classified as just a gynecological condition; it involves the immune, vascular, and nervous systems, too
  • Cutting out a lesion surgically doesn't address the root cause, which is why endometriosis often comes back
  • There are two types of testing that matter: those that show how endo is impacting your body, and those that reveal the actual root cause
  • Partner testing matters, especially for microbiome imbalances and DNA fragmentation, since couples share microbial exposure
  • About six months of testing and prep before surgery or IVF can prevent spending on a procedure that may not have even been necessary

Episode Summary

If you've ever felt like your life looked fine on paper, but something in your nervous system still felt off, this episode is for you. I share the real story behind why my family and I recently moved from Calgary to Northern Idaho, and the hard lesson we learned about resistance during a five-year green card process. You'll hear why I believe your environment shapes your health as much as any protocol ever could, and why regulating your own nervous system might be the missing piece nobody's told you about.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Your environment shapes your health, not just your performance
  • Resistance in a process can mean you have the wrong team, not that you just need to wait longer
  • A regulated nervous system determines how present you can be for your family and your patients
  • Big life decisions often take longer and cost more than expected, and can still be worth it
  • Nothing changes about the practice, fully virtual care continues for patients in Canada and the US
  • In-person couples' retreats are being planned for the next one to two years

Episode Summary

If you’re already working with a naturopath, integrative, or functional medicine doctor and you’re still not pregnant after a year (or more), this episode is for you. I break down why “having a functional doctor” does not automatically mean you have a fertility plan, the key nuances most generalists miss (cycle‑timed labs, INITO data, male factor, endo/PMOS/DOR patterns), and why testing one thing at a time quietly burns your most precious resource: time. You’ll learn what a true fertility specialist team actually does differently, and how to know when it’s time to upgrade from general support to a real fertility strategy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

– A functional doctor is a generalist, fertility is a specialty, and those are not the same thing

– Testing without timing it to your cycle means missing how your hormones actually fluctuate

– Ignoring the male partner is one of the biggest blind spots in fertility care

– Testing one issue at a time can cost you years you don't have

– A CA 125 marker above 30 signals a much higher miscarriage risk

– The right team brings your partner in from day one and tracks real results

Episode Summary

If you're about to start IVF, you've already done a round or two that didn't work, and you're wondering if your body is broken, this episode is for you. I break down the six distinct phases we use to support couples through an IVF cycle, why treating IVF as a single event is where most couples go wrong, and why metabolically healthy women often need far less medication to get better results. You'll learn what actually needs to happen in each phase, from pre-IVF prep through early pregnancy, and hear real cases of couples who needed sixteen months of prep before their cycle finally worked.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • IVF failing doesn't mean your body is broken, it means you didn't get the right help at the right time
  • IVF is a tool, not a plan, your results depend on what you do before, during, and after the cycle
  • Metabolically healthy women need far less medication to get great retrieval results
  • Nothing new on race day, stimulation is not the time to add detoxes or experimental supplements
  • Progesterone levels should be tested, not assumed, guessing is not a protocol
  • What got you pregnant keeps you pregnant, early pregnancy still needs active support

Episode Summary

If you've been trying for years, his sperm looks fine on paper, and you still can't get pregnant, this episode is for you. I break down what the seminal microbiome is, why it's the missing piece almost no one is testing, and what we're finding in the clinic that standard semen analysis completely misses. You'll learn how silent organisms quietly damage sperm DNA, why treating only the woman keeps the infection cycling back, and how testing both partners at the same time can shift a case that's been stuck for years.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • A normal semen analysis only measures sperm output, not what is living inside the semen
  • Infertile couples share roughly half of the same predominant bacterial species between partners
  • Organisms like E. coli, Gardnerella, and Candida can silently damage sperm DNA without a single symptom
  • Treating only the woman for BV or yeast will fail if his seminal microbiome is never tested
  • You are each other's environment. Real progress only happens when both partners are tested and treated at the same time
  • Unexplained infertility is not unexplained for every couple. Dr Jane's tests have answers

Episode Summary

If you’ve been told your endometriosis is a “you issue” and your partner is just there to support from the sidelines, this episode is for you. I share a real couple’s story to show how shared microbiomes, toxins, and low‑grade inflammation in both partners can keep you stuck, why his symptoms and history matter just as much as yours, and how bringing him fully into the workup can shift your fertility journey from you-carrying-it-all to a true team effort.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Endometriosis is a full-body inflammatory condition, not just a reproductive one

- Partners share microbiomes through touch, food, kissing, and breathing, not just intimacy

- A sperm analysis done after 14 days of abstinence is unreadable and basically useless

- Fatigue, anxiety, and unexplained symptoms in men are signs worth investigating before trying to conceive

- Fertility struggles are often multigenerational, not just about what's happening in your body right now

- When the male partner heals, the female partner typically heals faster too

Episode Summary

If you keep getting bacterial vaginosis, are tired of endless antibiotics or boric acid, and you know it has to be connected to your fertility struggles, this episode is for you. I explain why BV is never just a “vaginal issue,” how the gut–vaginal axis, immune system, partner microbiome, and biofilms keep you stuck, and why the standard 7–10 days of antibiotics plus probiotics almost always fails. You’ll learn how I properly test for BV vs aerobic vaginitis, build a real treatment plan (for you and your partner), and why clearing this for good can change your chances of getting and staying pregnant.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Recurrent BV is a whole-system problem, not just a vaginal microbiome issue
  • Antibiotics fail because they ignore biofilms, the gut-vaginal axis, and the partner
  • BV and aerobic vaginitis are two different conditions requiring two different treatment approaches
  • Men are often silent carriers, and both partners must be treated for infections to actually clear
  • Biofilm disruption is the missing step most practitioners skip entirely
  • Clearing a deep infection takes 6 to 12 weeks minimum, not a 7-day antibiotic course
  • Unresolved BV directly impacts cervical mucus, sperm survival, implantation, and miscarriage risk

I break down how I decide which tests are actually worth your money, when they should be timed in your cycle, and why fragmented, one‑off testing keeps couples stuck and overwhelmed instead of pregnant. You’ll also hear a real case of a couple who spent two years and thousands of dollars on functional labs without getting closer to a baby, and what changed when we finally ran the right tests in the right order and interpreted them through a fertility lens.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • A test is only as good as the person interpreting it; without that, the results are useless
  • Running labs without a plan afterwards is like buying a device and never changing your behavior
  • Timing your tests to your cycle matters more than most practitioners realize
  • The loudest pathogen is not always the one you treat first
  • Fragmented testing across multiple practitioners creates conflicting advice, not clarity
  • The iron triangle is real: speed, cost, and results, you only get to pick two

Episode Summary

If you and your partner want a baby in the next 1–2 years but you’re quietly wondering, “Will everything be okay when we actually try?”, this episode is for you. I sit down with Monica and Josh, a couple who chose to be proactive about their fertility: we walk through what worried them, the surprising things we found in both of their labs (from heavy metals to low GABA), how changing his brain and energy changed their whole marriage, and the plan we built so conception didn’t have to be a giant question mark.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- A GABA level of zero can mimic pregnancy anxiety.

- Years of "healthy living" can still miss hidden heavy metal toxicity.

- Fixing one partner's brain function can transform the whole marriage.

- Copper and zinc imbalances quietly fuel anxious feelings.

- Fear of conceiving is often your body asking for help first.

- Preconception care deserves the same effort as postpartum support.

Episode Summary

If you’ve poured tens of thousands of dollars, months or years of your life, and your whole heart into IVF and you’re still not pregnant, this episode is for you. I break down what a failed IVF cycle actually means (and doesn’t mean), why IVF is a tool and not a fix, and the key questions you must answer before signing up for another round. We’ll talk about root causes that IVF never addressed, how to know if your body was even ready for stimulation and pregnancy, and what a smart, data‑driven next step can look like instead of a desperate spin on the same roulette wheel.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • A failed IVF cycle is not proof that your body can't get pregnant
  • IVF bypasses the reason you needed it, it doesn't fix it
  • Your thyroid, inflammation, and nutrient levels should be optimized before stimulation starts
  • "Normal" lab ranges are not the same as optimal for fertility
  • Med protocols should be personalized, not based on age and AMH alone
  • Clarify, correct, then conceive is the path to a smarter next step

Ep.215: When “Everything Is Normal” But You Keep Miscarrying10 Jun 202600:34:30

Episode Summary

In this episode, I sit down with one of my practitioners, Katie Redding, FDNP, to unpack recurrent pregnancy loss and why “getting pregnant” and “staying pregnant” are two completely different biological events. We walk through a real PCOS case with four miscarriages, “normal” labs, high AMH, failed IVF, and show you exactly what was being missed. If you’ve been told it’s “bad luck,” “your age,” or “unexplained,” this conversation will give you a framework, and real lab examples, for what to actually investigate next.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Recurrent pregnancy loss is not random your body is always trying to tell you something

- Getting pregnant and staying pregnant require two completely different things from your body

- A high AMH with PCOS means lots of follicles that never mature, not a fertility advantage

- IVF can help with fertilization but it cannot fix your underlying biology

- Elevated NK cells mean your uterus is too inflamed to accept an embryo

- "Normal" labs and optimal fertility labs are not the same thing

Episode Summary

If you had endometriosis surgery, were told “everything looks great,” but 6-18 months later you’re still not pregnant and your symptoms are creeping back, this episode is for you. I walk through a real client case to show why surgery alone often isn’t enough, what her functional labs were really saying through a fertility lens, and what we are doing next to lower recurrence and move her toward pregnancy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Surgery removes the tissue but never removes the environment that caused it to grow in the first place
  • If you haven't conceived within 3 to 6 months post-surgery, that's a red flag worth investigating now, not at 18 months
  • High beta-glucuronidase in the gut means your body is recycling estrogen, which directly feeds endometriosis recurrence
  • A general functional practitioner without a fertility lens will likely hyper-focus on the wrong markers for an endo patient
  • Estrogen dominance, sluggish digestion, and low secretory IgA are connected patterns, not isolated problems to treat separately
  • Developing PCOS and endometriosis can co-exist long before any conventional diagnosis is made

On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

In this episode, Dr. Elissa and I dive into secondary infertility through a lens almost no one is talking about: unresolved postpartum physiology. We unpack how depletion, gut and vaginal microbiome shifts, infections like Candida and Ureaplasma, hormone changes, and nervous system dysregulation after baby #1 can quietly block baby #2. You’ll hear a real client case, what their labs actually showed, and how to think about realistic recovery timelines before trying again.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Secondary infertility is often an unresolved postpartum issue, not a fertility failure
  • Being told your labs are "normal" does not mean your body is ready to conceive again
  • Most women need at least 6 months after stopping breastfeeding before trying again
  • Candida, Ureaplasma, and leaky gut are silent barriers to implantation that won't resolve on their own
  • What you do with recovery time matters far more than how much time passes
  • Pregnancy pushes subclinical issues to the surface, it does not create them

Thin Uterine Lining & Failed Cycles: What Your Body Is Really Telling You29 May 202600:20:27

If you’ve been trying to conceive for over a year and want this level of detective work on your case, apply to work with me and my team here: drjanelevesque.com/application.

It takes about 5–7 minutes to complete. If we can help, we’ll invite you to a free Fertility Clarity Call with one of my team members. On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

If you’ve been told your uterine lining is “too thin,” had IUI or IVF cycles postponed or fail because of it, and you’re wondering if there’s anything you can do naturally, this episode is for you. I explain what a thin lining is really telling us about your hormones, nutrients, blood flow, microbiome, and stress, using my “bricks, builders, and construction site” framework to show where things break down. You’ll learn the key labs and cycle timings I use with patients, and how we rebuild lining by fixing root causes instead of throwing random foods, teas, and supplements at the problem.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Thin uterine lining is a symptom, not the root cause
  • Your menstrual cycle is your monthly report card
  • Always time your tests to your cycle; never test randomly
  • Three root causes: nutrients, hormonal signals, and uterine environment
  • Antibiotics alone rarely fix uterine infections; the whole terrain matters
  • Most women skip clarify and correct and jump straight to trying to conceive

Ep.211: Progress, Not Perfection: A Smarter Path Through Infertility with Dr. Marc Sklar26 May 202600:45:16

On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marc Sklar, a fertility expert with over 20 years of clinical experience, to talk about what has actually changed in the fertility world. We unpack why most “fertility clinics” are really IVF clinics, what a true root‑cause workup should include (stool testing, vaginal and seminal microbiomes, DNA fragmentation), and why male factor can no longer be an afterthought. You’ll also hear their take on PRP, peptides, and biohacking vs. basics.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • IVF is not a first-line treatment, it bypasses the problem, it doesn't fix it
  • The test is only as good as the interpreter, ChatGPT can't replace clinical experience
  • Men were barely part of the conversation 20 years ago; now they're showing up and making changes
  • Lifestyle alone, sleep, diet, stress, can transform sperm quality by over 100x
  • Progress over perfection: drip your motivation, don't dump it all at once
  • The gut is foundational to fertility, you can't absorb what you can't digest
  • Don't stack expensive therapies like PRP or peptides on a broken foundation

EP. 210: Low AMH? What It Really Means (And What It Doesn’t)22 May 202600:36:17

If you’ve been trying to conceive for over a year and want this level of detective work on your case, apply to work with me and my team here: drjanelevesque.com/application.

It takes about 5–7 minutes to complete. If we can help, we’ll invite you to a free Fertility Clarity Call with one of my team members. On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I sit down with one of my practitioners, Katie Redding, to break down AMH and what it actually means for your fertility. We talk about why AMH is often misunderstood, why it should never be used in isolation, and how it does not reflect egg quality. If you’ve been told your AMH is “low” and felt panic or pressure to rush into IVF, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on and what you can actually do to improve your fertility.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • AMH is not a measurement of fertility; it is a measurement of ovarian reserve
  • High AMH does not mean good egg quality, and low AMH does not mean poor egg quality
  • Never diagnose or make decisions based on one AMH test alone
  • AMH can increase when inflammation and nutrient deficiencies are addressed
  • Fertility clinics are really IVF clinics; they answer one question only
  • Blood sugar is one of the most overlooked factors affecting fertility
  • Improving AMH is not a quick fix; it requires a full body transformation

Episode Summary

If you’ve had a failed IUI, or your doctor is pushing IUI as the “next step” without much explanation, this episode is for you.

I break down why IUIs are a tool, not a plan, and why repeating them without asking “why didn’t this work?” can waste time, money, and emotional bandwidth. We’ll walk through clear green, yellow, and red lights for IUIs so you can see whether it’s actually the next right step in your fertility journey.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • A failed IUI does not mean your body is broken; it means nobody asked why it failed
  • IUI is a tool, not a plan
  • Washing sperm does not bypass male fertility issues
  • There are clear green, yellow, and red lights for when IUI is the right next step
  • Most women going through IUI are not being tracked properly
  • Never proceed with IUI without optimizing the basics first
  • After a failed IUI, pause and understand why before doing another one

Ep. 208: Endometriosis: Why Surgery Alone Rarely Fixes Fertility (Amanda’s Story)15 May 202600:18:24

It takes about 5–7 minutes to complete. If we can help, we’ll invite you to a free Fertility Clarity Call with one of my team members. On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I walk you through Amanda’s story: 38 years old, endometriosis, one failed laparoscopy, two years of trying, and told IVF was her only option. We dig into what everyone missed – her gut, toxic load, inflammation, nutrient depletion, blood sugar, immune system and her partner’s infections – and how supporting all of that plus a second, better surgery transformed her resilience and allowed her to conceive naturally. If you’ve been told “we removed the lesions, now you just need IVF,” this will give you a completely different framework for what’s actually possible with endo.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Surgery alone rarely fixes endometriosis if the environment is not addressed
  • Endometriosis is a full body inflammatory condition, not just a reproductive issue
  • The male partner can silently carry infections that keep her sick
  • Prepping the body before surgery changes everything
  • A miscarriage can still prove your body is capable of conceiving naturally
  • Treating the couple together transforms the relationship and the fertility
  • If IVF feels like the only option, nobody has put all the pieces together yet

On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Elissa to unpack one of the most overlooked pieces in fertility: methylation. We break down what methylation actually is, why testing just one marker (like MTHFR or homocysteine) is not enough, and how this process impacts egg quality, sperm health, implantation, and miscarriage risk.

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” or you’re stuck chasing supplements without clear direction, this episode will help you understand why a deeper, more personalized approach is essential and how optimizing your body at the cellular level can completely change your fertility outcomes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Methylation is being missed, even by natural practitioners
  • Methylation controls egg quality, implantation, and miscarriage risk
  • ICSI bypasses the symptom, not the root cause
  • Having the gene variant doesn't mean it will express negatively
  • A personalized protocol always beats a prenatal
  • Recurrent pregnancy loss before week six, always look at methylation

Episode Summary

In this solo episode, I walk you through a real fertility case to show you why “unexplained infertility” doesn’t actually exist. I break down how I assess a complex case, from blood work and gut health to hormones, methylation, and metabolic functionand why fertility is never just one issue.

If you’ve been told everything looks “normal” but you’re still not getting pregnant, this episode will help you understand what’s being missed, why IVF isn’t always the first step, and what it really takes to prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Fertility involves every system, not just the uterus.
  • Unexplained infertility often has underlying health issues.
  • Comprehensive testing is crucial for understanding fertility.
  • Inflammation and metabolic issues impact fertility.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I sit down with one of my practitioners, Dr. Nicole, to talk about fibroids and what they really mean for your fertility. We break down how fibroids are not just something to ignore, but a signal of deeper imbalances in hormones, inflammation, immune function, and the microbiome. If you’ve been told your fibroids “don’t matter,” this conversation will help you understand what your body is actually trying to tell you and what to do next

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Fibroids impact fertility indirectly through various pathways.
  • Treating root causes is crucial for addressing fibroids.
  • Fibroids are often overlooked but provide important health clues.
  • Location and size of fibroids affect fertility differently.
  • Environmental and genetic factors influence fibroid development.
  • Microbiome imbalances can lead to fibroid growth.
  • Surgery isn't always necessary; holistic approaches can help.

Episode Summary

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the different levels of menstrual cycle tracking, from basic calendar apps to advanced hormone-monitoring devices, and explaining how to actually use this data to support your fertility journey. Whether you're just starting out or deep into TTC, I’ll help you cut through the noise, avoid common mistakes, and understand how to read the patterns in your cycle. Cycle tracking is a great tool, but unless you’re taking action based on what the data tells you, nothing will change. Let’s make your tracking meaningful.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Cycle Tracking: It's a tool for awareness, not a solution.
  • Cycle Length: Know your cycle length and differentiate spotting from bleeding.
  • Cycle Charting: Track symptoms, blood quality, and cervical fluid for deeper insights.
  • Basal Body Temperature: Confirms ovulation and progesterone levels.
  • Wearables: Devices like the Oura Ring track cycle data and provide insights.
  • LH Strips: Numeric values are preferred for accurate ovulation tracking.
  • Action and Consistency: Tracking must be followed by lifestyle changes.

Ep. 202: The “Angry Uterus”: Why Implantation Fails Even When Tests Look Normal - With Dr. Jane Levesque07 Apr 202600:36:09

If you’ve been trying to conceive for over a year and want this level of detective work on your case, apply to work with me and my team here: drjanelevesque.com/application.

It takes about 5–7 minutes to complete. If we can help, we’ll invite you to a free Fertility Clarity Call with one of my team members. On that call, we’ll go through your story, see what’s been missed, and walk you through our simple 3‑step Clarify → Correct → Conceive process that’s helped over 70% of our clients finally bring home a healthy baby.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I break down uterine immunology - what it actually means, why implantation is an immune process, and how immune imbalance inside the uterus can block pregnancy even when standard autoimmune labs look “normal.” I walk you through a complex case of recurrent IVF failure, thick uterine lining, polyps, and persistent inflammation to show you how I think through immune mapping, methylation, coagulation, iron overload, infection panels, and male partner involvement. An “angry uterus” is not random, the immune system activates in response to something. If you’ve been told everything looks fine but pregnancy still isn’t happening, this may be the missing piece.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • The immune system's role in embryo acceptance and implantation
  • Common signs and symptoms of uterine immunology issues
  • The significance of inflammation, autoimmunity, and environment in fertility
  • How to interpret testing for autoimmune markers, inflammation, and immune mapping
  • The importance of treating both partners and addressing the microbiome
  • Connections between diet, toxins, methylation, and immune regulation
  • Case examples illustrating complex fertility challenges
  • Practical steps to assess and support uterine health for a successful pregnancy

Ep. 201: Why Fertility Challenges Are Getting Harder (and Younger) - With Aimee Raupp & Dr. Jane Levesque31 Mar 202600:57:02

If you’ve been trying to conceive for over a year and want this level of detective work on your case, apply to work with me and my team here: drjanelevesque.com/application.

Episode Summary

In this episode, I sit down with fertility expert Aimee Raupp to unpack what she’s seeing in practice after 21 years - more “younger” fertility cases, a bigger male-factor role, and a massive rise in immune and inflammatory drivers. We talk about why pregnancy is an immune process, how autoimmunity and chronic inflammation can block implantation, and why so many cases are mislabeled as “unexplained.” Aimee shares powerful stories of missed uterine diagnostics (fibroids, endometritis, endo) and why proper testing of the uterus, hormones, metabolism, and sperm can change everything.

We also cover what’s evolving in IVF (PGT accuracy, protocol intensity, low-stim approaches) and her updated book, Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, revised edition.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • Practical steps women can take before trying to conceive
  • The impact of age and lifestyle on fertility today versus a decade ago

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Too many couples are promised a fast track to pregnancy through IVF, only to end up more confused, depleted, and heartbroken.

Ep. 197: From Stillbirth to a Healthy Baby - David & Melody’s Fertility Success Story03 Mar 202600:47:03

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, I sit down with my patients, David and Melody, a couple whose story spans recurrent pregnancy loss, the stillbirth of their son at 37 weeks, and the long road back to hope. We talk candidly about what it took to keep moving forward through grief, why “simple fixes” and generic timelines weren’t enough, and how individualized care and real-time data helped us uncover what had been missed. We also discuss how they navigated adoption alongside their fertility journey, what shifted in their bodies and mindset before their healthy pregnancy, and why they chose to write their book, The Process of the Suddenly, while still in the middle of their story. It is a profound honor to walk this journey with my patients, to problem-solve through the setbacks, to celebrate the breakthroughs, and ultimately to witness the moment they hold their baby in their arms. Hearing Melody’s birth story and seeing their daughter was nothing short of magical. If you are in the middle of your own uphill climb, I hope their story reminds you that healing is possible and that your body is capable of more than you’ve been led to believe.

Ep. 196: Autoimmunity & Infertility: What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You - With Dr. Elissa24 Feb 202600:36:53

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, I sit down with my practitioner Dr. Elissa to unpack how autoimmune disease impacts fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and implantation. We break down what ANA and ENA testing really means, the role of the gut and vaginal microbiome in immune regulation, and why so many women are told their labs are “normal” when their bodies are clearly struggling. We also explore the deeper patterns behind autoimmunity, drawing on Dr. Gabor Maté’s work - where chronic stress, self-abandonment, and broken boundaries often show up as immune dysfunction. If you’ve felt dismissed or know there’s more to your fertility story, this episode will help you connect the dots.

Ep. 194: Ureaplasma & Infertility - The Hidden Infection Sabotaging Your Fertility Journey10 Feb 202600:35:21

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, I unpack the often-missed microbe Ureaplasma and its deep impact on fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and even how women feel in their own bodies. From infertility and recurrent loss to preterm birth and neurodevelopmental issues in babies, the research is clear, this infection matters. I walk you through the latest science, how to test for it properly (including what most doctors miss), and what a truly effective treatment plan looks like- including antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials, and deep nervous system and energetic work. We’ll also explore why this bug can hold emotional trauma, how it connects to experiences of disconnection, and what it really means to heal - physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This is not your standard infection protocol. It’s a reframe of what’s possible when you treat the whole woman, not just her labs.

ABOUT DR. JANE’S PRACTICE:

Dr. Jane is a Naturopathic Doctor and a Natural Fertility Expert. She and her team of expert practitioners help couples navigate infertility for 1+ years, get to the root cause of their struggles, heal, and bring healthy babies home.
