In this episode, I sit down with Molly Sellers, a certified nutritional therapy practitioner whose work is shaped by her own experience with two pregnancy losses — including a partial molar pregnancy — stage four endometriosis, burnout, and perimenopause. Molly specializes in root-cause, bio-individual care: hormone balance, mineral support through HTMA testing, blood sugar regulation, and nervous system health.

We talk about what happens when the medical system hands you a "try again in six months" and nothing else — and why so many women are left to do the digging themselves after a loss. Molly shares her own story of miscarriage, an undiagnosed MTHFR gene mutation, a 15-year road to an endometriosis diagnosis, and how she eventually found her way to functional, whole-body healing.

We cover:

Molly's story of two pregnancy losses, including a partial molar pregnancy and emergency D&C

The MTHFR gene mutation, synthetic folic acid, and why standard prenatal vitamins can do more harm than good for some women

Why the body needs to feel safe before fertility can "come back online" — and how trauma and stress get stored in the body

The emotional weight of watching others get pregnant easily — resentment, jealousy, and self-doubt

Why a 15-year wait for an endometriosis diagnosis is far too common, and how to advocate for yourself

The missing conversation around preconception care, and the total lack of support around perimenopause
