  <description>&lt;p&gt;PCOS affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age — but it’s so much more than just a fertility issue. In this episode, we’re breaking down the root drivers of PCOS, including insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormonal imbalances, and how they impact weight, mood, energy, and long-term health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My colleague Sam joins the show to walk through the five key areas every woman with PCOS should focus on:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blood sugar Balance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Inflammation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hormone health&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Exercise&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Managing stress &amp;amp; sleep&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you’ve ever felt frustrated by being told to “just lose weight” or handed birth control as a Band-Aid solution, this conversation is for you. You’ll leave with clear, practical strategies you can start using right away to feel better, improve your symptoms, and support long-term health.&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we’re joined by Michelle Oravitz, founder of The Wholesome Lotus. After struggling with years of irregular periods and stress due to a demanding career as a NYC architect, Michelle turned to acupuncture and experienced a transformative shift in her well-being. Inspired by this, she became a renowned acupuncturist and fertility coach, helping women finally get pregnant after trying just about everything.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How &amp;amp; why Michelle pivoted from architect to acupunturist&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lifetsyle changes people can make&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choosing a good prenatal vitamin&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What men can do to support a healthy pregnancy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The power of mindset when trying to conceive&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tips for successful IUI's&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Can you influence the gender of your baby?&lt;/li&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In the previous episode, I shared my birth story in celebration of Chloe's first birthday. While I'm not pregnant with baby number 2 just yet, I definitely have baby fever. So, I invited my mom friend and fellow firefighter wife Bri O'Neil back on the podcast to chat about raising toddlers, and things we would do differently with baby #2 now that we have a little experience under our belts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this episode:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A wild POOP story  (fast forward to 11 mins to skip)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Trying to conceive&lt;/li&gt;
