About this course
Recorded live lecture now available as a 7-lesson member course. In this Save the Uterus Club session, Functional Fertility Dietitian Olivia Mitchell, RDN, IFNCP, who shares fertility education with a large community on Instagram at @yourfertility.yourfuture, opens with a simple but often unspoken premise: you are not broken. The system that trained you to override your body's signals is.
Olivia traces how disconnection begins early. Suppressive medications prescribed for symptoms rather than root causes. Hustle culture that leaves no room to listen. Social media that turns a deeply personal journey into a performance. Fear, she argues, is the most profitable emotion in the fertility industry. And one-size-fits-all medicine profits from it.
Across seven lessons, Olivia examines what whole-body, systems-based care actually looks like when it accounts for what standard workups miss: undereating disguised as clean eating, nutrient depletion, nervous-system dysregulation, inflammatory and autoimmune drivers that go untested, and male factor issues that go unnamed. The question she returns to throughout is not just biological. It is relational and somatic: does your body feel safe enough to conceive?
The final lesson is not a protocol. It is a reorientation. Pause. Build body literacy. Understand what your options actually are before a time pressure or a fear-driven recommendation takes the decision out of your hands. Olivia's case is not against any particular path. It is for informed choice, made from a place of clarity rather than crisis.
Recorded for Save the Uterus Club members, the session unfolds as a candid conversation between Olivia and Dr. Naomi Whittaker, MD.
