Gut Health and Fertility with guest Dr. Alex Carrasco

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I'm joined by Dr. Alex Carrasco, a board-certified family medicine doctor and functional medicine expert, to talk about the powerful connection between gut health and fertility. Dr. Carrasco is the founder of Nourish Medicine and the author of Bloom: 7 Steps to Reclaim Your Health, Cultivate Your Desires & Reignite Your Spark.

We dive into how the gut microbiome impacts hormones, egg and sperm quality, inflammation, and even implantation. Dr. Carrasco breaks down how poor digestion, food sensitivities, and nutrient absorption can quietly affect fertility and what you can do about it. She shares how to heal the gut through nutrition, lifestyle, and supplements, and offers practical strategies for both men and women who are trying to conceive.

If you've ever wondered what role your gut might play in your fertility journey, this episode is packed with insights to help you optimize your health from the inside out.

In this episode, we cover:

Why gut health is foundational to hormone balance and fertility
How inflammation and leaky gut can disrupt reproductive function
The top signs your gut may need healing (and what to do about them)
Practical tips for supporting your microbiome with food and supplements
How stress, toxins, and lifestyle choices impact gut and fertility health
