61. Integrative Fertility Nutrition with Jennifer Redmond: Food, Stress, and Bio-Individuality
In this Her Fertility podcast episode, I sit down with Jennifer Redmond, a certified integrative nutrition health coach and hormone health expert with 17+ years in the fertility space, to talk about a 360-degree approach to fertility, infertility, and trying to get pregnant.
Jennifer explains how her coaching (including her 12-week Empowered Fertility program) starts with nutrition but quickly expands into lifestyle factors like stress management, relationships, movement, spirituality, and work-life harmony—because fertility doesn’t exist in a silo. We dig into bio-individuality (what works for one body may not work for another), tracking patterns with a “food, mood, and poop” journal, and why fight-or-flight can block rest-and-digest.
Jennifer shares practical starting points like a Mediterranean-style eating pattern (modified for you), hydration, reducing sugar and inflammation, and boosting veggies—plus gratitude tools (including her “magic rock”). She also shares her own unexplained infertility journey, miscarriage, being “fired” by a clinic, and how she built a meaningful life and career supporting others.
