Natural Fertility with Dr. Jane

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're staring down an IUI, or you've already done a few rounds that didn't work, this episode is the conversation Dr Jane wishes every couple had before starting. The standard advice ("try for a year, then IUI, then IVF, then donor") treats fertility like a checklist. Dr Jane breaks down why that linear path fails so many couples, walks through the exact lab markers that mean IUI isn't your next right step, and shares a real case from her practice: a couple who went through eight failed IUI rounds before anyone asked why. You'll leave this episode knowing exactly what to test, what to monitor, and how to actually read the results of a cycle that didn't work. In this episode, you’ll learn: A failed IUI means the treatment was wrong, not that you failed. FSH over 12, AMH under 0.5, or a lining under 7mm are reasons to skip IUI entirely. Poor sperm morphology can quietly sink round after round of IUI. Thyroid medication rarely fixes fertility because thyroid is rarely the root cause. One IUI cycle already tells you whether the next one is worth trying. There's no universal supplement stack, only what your labs actually show.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.

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 About Dr. Jane’s Practice I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.
