In this solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, Michelle Oravitz, fertility acupuncturist and holistic fertility coach, breaks down the most common misconceptions she encounters in her clinic. Drawing on nearly a decade of experience supporting couples on their fertility journey, Michelle sheds light on the myths that can hold people back from conceiving, from misunderstanding the fertile window and fearing healthy fats, to overdoing green juices and neglecting stress management. You'll learn why fertility is about more than just timing or diet, how mindset and nervous system health play a pivotal role, and why it's essential to approach conception as a shared journey between partners. Whether you're just beginning your fertility path or seeking to fine-tune your approach, this episode will empower you with knowledge and clarity to support your reproductive health naturally. Key Takeaways: Many women miscalculate ovulation and the fertile window, it's not always mid-cycle. Healthy fats like avocado, ghee, and full-fat dairy support hormone production. Too much raw food and cold drinks can create a "cold womb," affecting fertility. Over-focusing on "doing all the right things" can increase stress and hinder conception Fertility is a shared responsibility, sperm health is just as crucial as egg health. Seeking professional and emotional support can make the journey smoother and less isolating.
