Ep. 72 - Why Ovulation is More Than Just Your Fertile Window with Dr. Ellora Pollard, DC

The Rewire for Birth program is currently offering a Mother’s Day special. You can receive $100 OFF with code MOTHERSDAYGIFT at checkout:https://www.rewireforbirth.com In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ellora Pollard for a deeply empowering conversation about fertility, hormones, cycle awareness, and why ovulation is one of the clearest indicators of overall health. So many women move through life disconnected from the wisdom of their bodies: never taught how to identify ovulation, understand their hormonal patterns, or recognize the signs their body is constantly communicating. This conversation changes that. Ellora beautifully bridges science, functional medicine, and clinical experience to break down what is actually happening throughout the menstrual cycle — in a way that feels accessible, grounding, and incredibly empowering. Inside this episode, we explore: Why ovulation is about far more than fertility *How cervical mucus can reveal hormonal balance and overall health *The role progesterone plays in supporting pregnancy and nervous system regulation *Why hormonal birth control is often prescribed without women fully understanding its long-term impact *The connection between nutrient depletion, mood changes, and synthetic hormones *How cycle awareness can be used for both conception and natural family planning *The myth that breastfeeding prevents pregnancy postpartum *What the hormone relaxin actually does during pregnancy *Why pregnancy can create instability, pain, and pelvic discomfort *Practical ways to support the body through pregnancy with movement, strength, chiropractic care, and pelvic floor awareness *The Webster Technique, kinesiology taping, and creating balance in the body for birth preparation More than anything, this episode is a reminder that understanding your body is foundational. When women understand their cycles, hormones, and fertility, they are able to make more informed, aligned, and empowered decisions about their health, pregnancy journey, and lives. CONNECT WITH DR.
