    Why “Healthy” Women Are Struggling With Fertility | Aimee Raupp

    Sarah Kleiner welcomes fertility practitioner Amy Ralph, an acupuncturist, herbalist, and east-meets-west “fertility detective,” to discuss why infertility is rising and how to investigate root causes beyond blaming female age. They critique fertility clinics repeating IVF/IUI cycles without changing protocols, emphasize male-factor gaps like limited semen analysis and lack of DNA fragmentation testing, and share that many women conceive naturally after failed IVF when medications aren’t tolerated. Amy cites declining fertility rates (now ~1 in 6 couples), increasing younger patients, and highlights undiagnosed/mistreated endometriosis and adenomyosis as major drivers, including studies linking endometriosis to worse IVF outcomes that improve after proper surgery. They stress whole-person approaches—uterine testing, inflammation and immune regulation, nervous system/trauma support, light environment, sleep, and individualized nutrition—alongside selective, efficient use of medical interventions.


    About Aimee Raupp’s

    Aimee Raupp’s Natural Fertility Coaching Program is designed to help women optimize their fertility and prepare their bodies for healthy conception through a holistic, root-cause approach. Combining functional medicine, nutrition, mindset work, and lifestyle changes, the program focuses on improving egg quality, balancing hormones, and reducing inflammation. Aimee’s mission is to empower women to take control of their fertility journey.

    Spring Light Is Shifting Your Metabolism (Here’s How to Use It) | Sarah Kleiner

    Sarah Kleiner shares spring-focused circadian and lifestyle guidance for supporting metabolism and skin as daylight increases, addressing FAQs after the time change. She recommends morning strategies for those up before sunrise—hydration, light movement, grounding, a protein-and-fat breakfast, and optional brief red light therapy—plus getting outdoor light as soon as possible and using her Circadian app’s lux session timer. She discusses researched morning lux thresholds and emphasizes low evening lux (under 10) and a dark sleep environment to protect melatonin, along with keeping food about three hours away from bedtime. For skin and vitamin D, she advises gradual, sequential sun exposure (sunrise through UVA/UVB), building a “solar callus,” using the app’s vitamin D timer, and avoiding burns, with notes on nutrition, astaxanthin foods, shade benefits, and optional cold exposure.

    What Patients Aren’t Told About Psychiatric Drug Safety Data | Dr. Josef

    On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah interviews board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Josef Dering, who previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry and as an FDA medical officer in psychiatry drug safety. He explains why he now believes psychiatric medications don’t work for most conditions and describes how time-pressured, checklist-based care and “chemical imbalance” narratives lead to escalating drug cocktails without addressing root causes. He warns that benzodiazepines may help short term but can worsen anxiety over time, cause interdose withdrawal, degrade sleep architecture, and impair concentration, making them a “Faustian bargain,” and stresses slow, supervised tapering due to difficult withdrawal. Dering outlines non-drug approaches targeting body, mind, and “soul” (health behaviors, skills-based therapies, relationships, and meaning). He also argues high-potency THC cannabis increases psychosis risk and may lead to long recoveries and misdiagnosis.

    The Gap Between Research Papers and Real Healing, Gut Health Mysteries and more | Grant Fowler

    Host Sarah Kleiner welcomes practitioner Grant Fowler to discuss navigating confusing and polarizing health information, emphasizing clinician-to-clinician “what works” insights alongside research. They argue health interventions have second- and third-order effects, using gut microbiome health as an example for improving responses to therapies such as cancer immunotherapy, and caution against “one thing fixes all” thinking across wellness, medicine, and spiritual frameworks. Fowler describes his non-linear path into health, his trial-and-error approach to addressing connective-tissue-related issues, and the importance of stacking lifestyle foundations (light, food, environment) to reduce system load so therapies can work. They critique strict evidence hierarchies, note “real world evidence,” and outline a symptom-guided approach to gut issues, highlighting specific probiotics (including spore-based strains and BB-536), lactoferrin, targeted fibers, dosing/timing considerations, and the gut’s role in nutrient absorption and filtering toxins.

    Sarah hosts Drew from Organify on the Evolving Wellness Podcast to discuss why she changed her mind about collagen, including its effects on joint pain, hair/skin/nails, fascia and matrix integrity, and how glycine (including 3 grams before bed) may support restorative sleep and nighttime repair. They explore deuterium, why lower levels are linked in research to outcomes like reduced inflammation and cancer risk and improved fertility, and how lifestyle factors and the body’s metabolic water matter more than simple intake; Sarah shares her and her husband’s low deuterium test results while using collagen. Sarah also describes daily hydrogen inhalation and its impact on her daughter’s autoimmune encephalitis symptoms, and they discuss hydrogen’s role in antioxidant support and deuterium depletion. The episode emphasizes supplement quality/testing, discusses other Organify products, and offers a limited-time discount code.
