Fertility Mini-Series, Ep 2: Supporting Ovulation & Optimizing Egg Health

Her Healing Path

In this second episode of the Fertility Mini-Series, we’re exploring one of the most essential markers of reproductive and hormonal health: ovulation. So many women assume that having a period means they’re ovulating—but that’s not always the case. Today we unpack how to know if you’re truly ovulating, what signs suggest suboptimal ovulation, and why this matters even if you’re not actively trying to conceive. I also share the top nutrients and lifestyle shifts that support egg quality, how stress and blood sugar impact your cycle, and what functional lab tests can reveal about your hormone patterns. Whether your goal is fertility or simply feeling better in your body, this episode will help you understand what your cycle is really telling you—and how to support it with a more root-cause approach.
