Should you detox before trying to conceive—or is it risky for your fertility and future baby? As a fertility practitioner who’s helped hundreds of couples achieve natural, healthy pregnancies, I get this question every single day.
In this episode (Part 1 of my Fertility Detox Masterclass), we’ll dive deep into the research on detoxification, conception, and pregnancy so you can make safe, empowered choices on your fertility journey.
🔑 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
- The science of detoxification – how your liver, kidneys, digestive system, skin, lymphatic system, and even menstruation naturally support detox every day.
- The risks of detoxing too close to conception – why toxins mobilized from fat cells can pass into the bloodstream (and potentially reach your baby).
- When to detox safely – the ideal 3–6 month preconception window for supporting fertility and egg/sperm health.
- Environmental toxins & fertility – what studies say about pesticides, heavy metals, and endocrine disruptors.
- Case study: How a gentle 3-month detox helped one of my clients regulate cycles and conceive naturally.
- Safe, gentle strategies – from antioxidant-rich foods, fiber, and hydration to reducing personal care and household toxins.
- What NOT to do – why intensive “fertility detoxes” right before trying to conceive (or during pregnancy/breastfeeding) may do more harm than good.

💡 Remember: Detox is not about extremes—it’s about preparing the soil before planting the seed. Gentle, consistent changes create the most fertile environment possible for both partners.
