The Fertility Stress Trap - with Dr. Sam Shay
About this episode
In this another valuable and insightful episode of Health Youniversity, Dr. Susan is joined by Dr. Sam Shay, a chiropractor and functional medicine expert who specializes in solving complex health puzzles by helping people exit survival mode and reclaim their energy, brain health, and resilience.
Dr. Shay breaks down the "fertility stress trap" - revealing how chronic stress literally hijacks your body's hormone pathways and diverts resources away from reproduction toward survival.
From the pregnenolone steal to mitochondrial dysfunction, this conversation dives deep into the cellular mechanisms that make stress such a fertility saboteur.
Dr. Shay also introduces his revolutionary NeuroHarmony Model and shares his unique perspective on reframing stress as valuable information rather than an enemy to fight.
