How stress and the nervous system affect fertility

Share your TTC story ✨

💛 Hey beautiful,

Okay, you’re gonna love this one. Today I’m joined by the magnetic Alexandra Deccache — holistic nutritionist, functional medicine practitioner, and total girl crush. She’s got a master’s in Human Nutrition, a background in psychology, and nearly a decade of experience helping women heal their gut, balance hormones, and find real vitality (without the overwhelm or the fear-mongering).

From the first minute, the vibes were high and the synergy was next-level — it’s that perfect mix of science, soul, and sass that we live for around here.

If you’ve ever felt bloated, fatigued, anxious, constipated, or like your body just isn’t clicking, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, tune in, and start healing from the inside out.

💫 Inside this episode, we cover:

✨ Why you can’t balance your hormones if your gut’s a mess
✨ The gut–hormone–stress loop explained (aka how cortisol steals from your progesterone)
✨ How safety and nervous system regulation literally impact ovulation and digestion
✨ Why healing is messy — and that’s a good thing
✨ The truth about probiotics, SIBO, and fermented foods (you might be overdoing it)
✨ How your preconception gut health shapes your baby’s microbiome and long-term wellbeing
✨ Small, daily habits that actually move the needle on healing

💛 Why this matters for you

Because healing isn’t about quick fixes or green-juice cleanses — it’s about connection.
 If your gut’s inflamed, your hormones are exhausted, and your nervous system’s fried, your body’s just waving a flag saying “Hey, I need safety first.”

This chat will leave you feeling calm, clued-in, and empowered to take back your energy — one mindful breath, one magnesium-rich meal, and one less “panic scroll while eating lunch” at a time.

Imagine Gwyneth Paltrow meets Margot Robbie talking about poop — that’s the vibe. (Clearly, we think quite highly of ourselves, haha.)
