Holistic Christian fertility coach Tori Black joins the podcast to discuss the importance of addressing mind and body imbalances through functional medicine when preparing for healthy, natural conception. In this episode, we explore why many women struggle to find answers when their labs appear “normal,” and how a root-cause approach can help uncover hidden factors affecting fertility.

With over a decade of experience as a registered nurse, Tori blends her background in conventional healthcare with holistic healing practices to help women better understand what may be impacting their fertility.
