In this eye-opening episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, Tammy sits down with fertility expert, healthcare innovator, and Conceivable founder Kirsten Karchmer to explore the hidden factors that impact fertility, reproductive health, and overall wellness. After helping more than 10,000 women in clinical practice, Kirsten discovered that many women struggling to conceive were being told they had \"unexplained infertility\" while deeper root causes were being overlooked. Together, Tammy and Kirsten dive into the powerful connection between stress, nervous system dysregulation, childhood trauma, energy depletion, inflammation, and reproductive health. Kirsten shares how her years as a fertility specialist led her to create Conceivable, an AI-powered women's health platform designed to make personalized fertility support more accessible and affordable. The conversation also explores how mindset, self-talk, resilience, and even environmental factors like mold exposure can significantly impact health outcomes.
