The menstrual cycle is far more than a monthly event - in this episode of The Radiance Chapter, Raadhaa Singh and I discuss
that your period should be considered a “fifth vital sign,” offering key insights not only about fertility, but about overall hormonal balance, metabolic health, stress, and systemic wellness.
Chuck Tuck and I explored how fertility is a powerful “vital sign” of overall health and longevity, weaving together lifestyle medicine, environmental exposures, stress, nutrition, and the misunderstood male factor in reproduction. I shared both science and personal stories-especially your daughter’s journey- to reframe fertility as something to optimize proactively, not react to in crisis.
Dr. Mike and I talked about why global fertility rates are falling and why college students should care now, weaving together my clinical experience, holistic approach, and the key messages from my book Optimize Your Fertility Naturally- that lifestyle, environment, and early choices profoundly shape future fertility. We also walked listeners through early warning signs of struggling reproductive health, the roles of diet, exercise, sleep, and toxin reduction, and busted common myths about women’s fertility so young people feel informed and empowered rather than fearful.
Galina and I discussed
how falling birth rates globally signal a looming public health challenge and share
a holistic, functional-medicine-informed approach to optimizing fertility naturally, covering lifestyle factors, environmental toxins, menstrual cycle awareness, and male fertility alongside misconceptions about birth control and assisted reproduction.
Cameron and I discussed the global decline in birth rates and the profound social, economic, and demographic challenges it poses, highlighting how fewer births contribute to aging populations, shrinking workforces, and potential long-term shifts in societal structures. We also emphasized individual health and lifestyle factors that influence fertility, empowering listeners with actionable insights on how to support their reproductive health within this broader context proactively.
