In this episode, we take a look at the deeper connection between endometriosis and infertility, something I've lived, studied, and supported women through for nearly a decade. 

I break down why endometriosis can make conception more challenging, what the research actually says, and the physical, emotional, and immune-system factors that play a role.

You’ll learn:

  • How endometriosis affects egg quality, ovarian reserve, the fallopian tubes, inflammation, and more
  • Why oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, and adhesions matter more than most women are told
  • The surprising reason your nervous system state influences fertility
  • Real steps you can take to support your body physically and emotionally
  • A reminder that endometriosis does not mean you can’t conceive—Alyssa shares real stories of hope

If fertility is on your mind or you're supporting someone on this journey, this episode gives clarity, empowerment, and actionable next steps.
