One in six couples struggles with infertility. Yet most of them leave their doctor's office with two words and no answers. Unexplained infertility. In this episode, Dr. Alicia Newsome sits down with Dr. Kela Smith, PhD, Doctor of Natural Medicine and founder of the Hormone Puzzle Society, to uncover what conventional medicine keeps missing about fertility, hormones, and women's health at every stage of life. Dr. Kela was told at 36 that IVF was her only option. She did not accept that. She identified the root causes, conceived naturally, and had her last baby at 40. Now she trains and certifies fertility and hormone coaches around the world. This conversation goes deep. Hormones, peptides, HRT, genetics, cycle tracking, the truth about popular biohacking trends, and the one thing Dr. Kela wants every woman struggling with fertility to hear right now. If you have ever felt dismissed, confused, or like your body is failing you, this episode is for you.
