896. The truth behind “unexplained infertility” + the wellness habits that matter with Dr. Ann Shippy

Fertility isn't something you prepare for a few months before getting pregnant—it begins years earlier. In this powerful conversation, Lindsey sits down with Dr. Ann Shippy to explore how intentional living can transform not only your fertility, but your long-term health, emotional well-being, and future family.

They unpack the science behind epigenetics, environmental toxins, gut health, inflammation, and the nervous system—revealing how your daily habits influence everything from fertility to longevity.

Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, navigating fertility challenges, or simply committed to personal transformation, mindfulness, and conscious living, this episode offers empowering tools to strengthen your self-awareness, build healthier habits, and trust your body's incredible ability to heal.

We also talk about:

• Why "unexplained infertility" isn't actually unexplained
• Common toxins that could be disrupting your hormones
• Why sperm health matters just as much as egg health
• The truth about IVF, AMH, and fertility testing
• Simple habits that support fertility + longevity
• Birth control, testosterone, and reproductive health
• Shifting from "trying to conceive" to "ready to conceive”
