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
  • Molly's practical starting points for anyone trying again after loss: trauma-informed therapy, a provider who will actually listen, pelvic floor/body work, and a supportive network
  • Why symptoms are communication, not something to dismiss — and how to reconnect with a body you no longer trust after loss

A reminder from this conversation: you are not broken, and you don't have to have all the answers today — just permission to get curious about what your body is trying to tell you.
