Having trouble getting pregnant and can't figure out why? Struggling to lose weight even if you're a gym rat? The answer to both problems may be that your nervous system doesn't feel safe. And if so your body will block fertility, weight loss, and hormone balance every single time.

In this special live episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Doctor Chris Motley, along with Dr. Anis Khalaf, interviewed Dr. Kela Smith, a hormone + fertility specialist, and creator of the Hormone Puzzle and the Hormone Puzzle Podcast, and Terry Barga a restorative fitness expert and producer of Nashville Fit Magazine for a mastermind on nutrition, fitness, and how to get your body to rest, relax, repair and reproduce. Hint: over-working out and calorie deficits can leave your system feeling unsafe, leading to hormonal disruption.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why your body won't conceive, lose weight, or balance hormones while it's in fight-or-flight, and the simple daily practice that shifts you out of survival mode

How overexercising tanked Dr. Kayla's own fertility as a personal trainer, and how she pregnant twice, with her second child born at 40

The truth about intermittent fasting for women: it may be wreaking havoc on your hormones

How joy, stress-relief, whole food and a 20 minute walk can do more than you would have thought possible.
