    Timelines & Test Tubes: Reclaiming Fertility Beyond The Clock with Tsao-Lin Moy

    We’ve all heard the warnings about the “biological clock.” But what if the way we’ve been taught to think about fertility—and time—isn’t the full story? In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, we explore the powerful distinction between chronological age and biological age, uncovering how your overall health, stress levels, and lifestyle can shape your reproductive potential far more than a calendar year ever could. We’ll also take a grounded look at IVF and assisted reproductive technologies—their possibilities, limitations, and the ethical questions they raise about autonomy, access, and how we define family. This conversation isn’t about pressure. It’s about permission—to understand your body, reclaim your choices, and release the myths that keep women bound to someone else’s timeline. ⸻  In this episode, we explore: •The difference between chronological and biological fertility age •How lifestyle, stress, and environment impact reproductive vitality •The ethical considerations around IVF and reproductive technologies •Cultural narratives that fuel fear and urgency around fertility •A more cyclical, body-led approach to fertility and timing ⸻  Key Takeaway: Your fertility isn’t defined by a date on the calendar—it’s shaped by the health, energy, and story of your whole being. You are not running out of time. You are in rhythm with it. ⸻  Tune in if you’re: •Feeling anxious about age and fertility •Considering or undergoing IVF •Curious about holistic and ethical fertility approaches •Ready to move from fear to embodied understanding Send us a text Support the show Moon Essence®: Holistic solutions for a symptom free life. - In partnership with Embody App: Track your cycle in the only fully encrypted app designed to protect your most sacred data.

    In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, we unravel the deeply ingrained myth that fertility is solely a “female issue.” Host Adrienne Irizarry, a holistic women’s health practitioner, invites you into a real, raw, and informed conversation about why fertility must be seen through a whole-body, whole-couple lens.

    Beyond The Treadmill: What Your Body Really Needs After Menopause with Alicia Jones

    Most women over 50 have been told the same thing by their doctors: do more cardio, keep your weight down, and move your body every day. But what if that advice isn’t just outdated—it’s actively working against your well-being? In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, I’m pulling back the curtain on the fitness myths that keep midlife women exhausted, injured, and disconnected from their bodies. Menopause isn’t the end of vitality—it’s a new hormonal landscape that requires a new approach to movement. We’ll dive into: ✨ Why “more cardio” can actually make fatigue, weight gain, and joint pain worse after menopause ✨ The role of hormones in shaping strength, stamina, and recovery post-50 ✨ Which kinds of movement support bone health, muscle resilience, and nervous system regulation ✨ The radical importance of rest, flexibility, and flow in a fitness plan that truly nourishes ✨ How to shift from punishing workouts to practices that restore balance and energy If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling like the advice you got didn’t match your lived experience, this episode will give you the validation—and the tools—you’ve been waiting for. Menopause is not a decline; it’s an initiation into a wiser, stronger, softer way of being in your body. Let’s explore what that looks like when it comes to fitness and health.
