High FSH: three little letters that can send you spiraling when you're trying to get pregnant. Maybe you've been told your FSH is "too high," your eggs are "too old," or that an egg donor is your only chance at having a baby, but this episode is here to shift that narrative and help you see that number in a completely different light. We'll unpack what high FSH really means, how it fits into your bigger fertility picture, and explore some powerful ways to work with your body in your later reproductive years so you can feel informed, hopeful, and back in the driver's seat of your journey to conception.

Episode Highlights:

• What FSH is, how it signals your ovaries to grow follicles, and how it rises and falls across a normal menstrual cycle.​
• How many follicles you start with in the womb, what's typically left by puberty, and how that pool changes in your 20s, 30s, and 40s.​
• Why FSH tends to climb as ovarian reserve declines and how that relates to egg quality and endometrial receptivity.​
• The problem with using a single FSH number to push women toward egg donor and why two women with the same value can have very different outcomes.​
• How stress, adrenal health, blood‑sugar balance, and inflammation impact FSH signaling and overall hormone harmony.​
• Functional tools to support FSH and ovarian health in later reproductive years
• How a whole‑body, functional approach can help preserve cycles, support egg quality, and keep your body receptive to natural conception, even with high FSH

Today I interview Anne‑Claire Le Bihan, a former midwife and naturopath, and now practicing spirit baby communicator, who guides you beyond "doing more" and into a softer, magnetic way of being that opens space for baby to arrive. You'll hear how dreams, signs, and your own inner knowing can become a clear dialogue before conception, why mindset and energy shift fertility from contraction to receptivity, and how loss can initiate a sacred training for the mother you're becoming.. If you're curious about what your spirit baby might be trying to tell you, and how to align with divine timing, this episode offers practical practices, deep reassurance, and a new lens on your path to motherhood.

Episode Highlights:

• Naturopathy meets energy work and spirit baby communication to reframe "unexplained" infertility, and reveal what your future baby wants you to know.​
• Anne-Claire's prophetic dream, pregnancy, and loss led her from midwifery into the unseen world of spirit babies, and why that shift could change your path, too.
• Sneak peek: The Empowering Fertility Summit 2026 - 21 experts sharing body–mind–energy–spirit strategies you'll never hear in a standard clinic.​
• How mindset and your energy field can move you from contraction to receptivity, blending insights from science and spirituality.​
• What spirit babies are, how they reach out preconception, and simple ways to listen, through dreams, signs, and your inner knowing.​​
• Trade the hustle for magnetism: shift from "doing more" to a softer state that makes space for baby to arrive.​
• Embrace divine timing and the lessons along the way, why many say their baby arrived at the only possible moment.​​
• A loving reframe: your fertility path is sacred training for the mother your baby needs, even when loss is part of the story

What happens when a type‑A, high‑achieving doctor slowly loses her period, her sense of safety in her body, and eventually her fertility, only to discover she is the one pushing her hormones to shut down? In this raw and hopeful episode, Dr. Ashley Burton traces her path from childhood body image and disordered "health" habits through years of irregular cycles, the pill, an unexpected pregnancy and termination, and a cascade of IUD complications that ended in full‑blown hypothalamic amenorrhea. Ashley pulls back the curtain on her HA journey and how true preconception prep was a game‑changer in helping her get and stay pregnant.

Episode Highlights:

• How growing up in a Northern Ontario First Nations community, body image pressure, and "healthy habits" quietly set Ashley up for missing periods and HA.​
• The truth about her late first period, years of sparse cycles, and what seven years on the pill really did to her hormones.​
• An unexpected pregnancy on the rhythm method, a difficult at‑home termination, and the Mirena IUD decision that changed everything.​
• The terrifying hemorrhage that became her rock‑bottom moment and the doorway into real body literacy and cycle awareness.​
• The one line on a fitness podcast that made her realize she was overtraining, and how easing up finally opened the door to pregnancy.​
• Why she is so grateful for preconception nutrient loading now that she is 10 weeks pregnant with first‑trimester food aversions in full swing.​
• The sneaky "goal clothes" trap that keeps so many women stuck in HA and what freedom on the other side can look like.​
• A client story where a frightening PCOS label turned out to be HA that shifted in two months with breakfast, stress work, and charting.​
• Ashley's countercultural reframe on movement, timing, and why building fertility foundations now pays off well into perimenopause and beyond.​
