Is your body trying to tell you it’s not safe to get pregnant?
In this episode, I sit down with Deidre Bloomquist, functional nutritionist, founder of Always Growing Wellness, and author of Toxic Infertility, to explore the powerful idea that infertility is not failure... it’s protection. Deidre specializes in helping women identify hidden toxic burdens, restore true hormonal health, and create the conditions for conception naturally.
We talk about why detoxification isn’t just a pre-baby wellness trend, but a vital piece of generational healing. She shares what most fertility protocols miss, how to know if your body is in a protective state, and what it really looks like to restore balance before pregnancy. If you’re navigating hormone chaos, fertility frustration, or just want to support a stronger next generation, this conversation is for you.
Key Takeaways
Infertility Isn’t Failure, It’s Feedback – The body may withhold fertility when it’s overloaded, not because it’s broken but because it’s wise.
Toxins Disrupt Hormones and Conception – From mold to metals, unseen toxic stressors play a major role in fertility challenges.
Preconception Is the Ultimate Healing Window – Detoxification before pregnancy can set the stage for healthy conception and thriving children.
Support Drainage, Not Just “Detox” – True healing begins with opening the body’s natural elimination pathways safely and sequentially.
Symptoms Are Signals – Headaches, fatigue, gut issues, and skin problems may be telling you your body isn’t ready for pregnancy yet.
Fertility Work Is Generational Work – Deidre’s approach isn’t just about conception, it’s about legacy, restoration, and long-term resilience.
