“Your fertility is innate. Your body knows what to do.” Topics Discussed: IVF burnout, failed treatments, and emotional recovery Autoimmune conditions and how they impact fertility The role of thyroid health in fertility success Lifestyle shifts: diet, sleep, stress, movement, trauma therapy Reversing biological age for reproductive health Why patience and time can be your fertility superpower “I spent over $100,000 on IVF and got pregnant naturally after healing my thyroid.” Hello Beautiful. Monica here, and today’s episode is proof that your body is not broken, even if IVF made you feel like it is. Leslie and I dive into the messy, honest truth about fertility treatments, autoimmune chaos, and what happens when you stop outsourcing your power to doctors and start listening to your own body. She was told donor eggs were her only shot. Five rounds of IVF, tens of thousands of dollars, specialists across the world—and still nothing. But once she discovered the missing link (a thyroid wrecked by autoimmune disease) and actually supported her body instead of suppressing it, everything changed. She got pregnant naturally at 43. No charts, no meds, no needles. Just balance, presence, and trust. This conversation is going to ruffle some feathers, because we’re calling out the control freak spirals, the fertility industry scare tactics, and the toxic “just stay positive” advice that leaves women burnt out and disconnected. What you’ll hear instead is radical honesty, a reminder that your biological age is not your destiny, and a soul-deep permission slip to slow the hell down and let your body lead. Press play now. Your ovaries, your womb, and your nervous system are waiting for this one. “Patience and time are the two great healers—and yes, even in your 40s, it’s still possible.” Timestamps: 01:57 Leslie’s IVF story: 5 failed rounds, autoimmune diseases, and hidden thyroid damage.  06:15 The perfect storm blocking fertility: stress, poor sleep, diet, and disconnection.  10:15 The fertility industry’s lies about age and why cellular health matters more when dealing with infertility.  12:44 The dangers of over-controlling your body and how to find balance instead.  18:10 The long-term health effects of IVF, the truth about epigenetics, and the importance of taking care of your cellular health.  20:40 Leslie explains how she reversed her biological age from 39 to 21 and how you can reverse your fertility age.  23:47 The science of spermidine, cell renewal, fertility longevity, and the overall health of a mother.  “You’re not wasting time by healing—you’re buying back years of fertility and life.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/from-failed-ivf-to-natural-pregnancy-the-real-fertility-breakthrough-doctors-don-t-tell-you-with-leslie-kenny-part-one  Connect with Leslie Kenny: https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/ https://oxfordhealthspan.com https://oxfordlongevityproject.org https://oxford-healthspan.myshopify.com/FindingFertility Your 15% off: FINDINGFERTILITY15 Let's Do This Together 💚 Monica Message me DREAMS to access your free Fertility Breakthrough Session: Email: monica@findingfertility.co [not .com 🤣] Instagram: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityIG  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@findingfertility TikTok: https://bit.ly/FindingFertilityTikTok    🌺 Book Your Fertility Breakthrough Session Today here: https://calendly.com/findingfertility/discoveryconsultation?month=2022-10   🎙 Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform:⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Apple: http://bit.ly/FINDINGFERTILITYAPPLE⁣⁠⁣⁣⁣ Stitcher: http://bit.ly/FindingFertilitySTITCHER Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0BMtwCvdyR4aJyfSfcKh6i   🍍HELP SUPPORT THE SHOW🍍 You can shop for your favourite fertility support products over on: Seeking Health:https://bit.ly/FFSeekingHealth & Amazon:http://bit.ly/FindingFertilityAmazon   Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, thr
