Episode 80: The Truth About Ovulation & What Every Woman Needs to Know

You’ve probably heard that you only need to worry about ovulation if you are trying to make a baby? Well, I’m here to tell you—it’s so much more than that. In this episode of Aligned Womb, Aligned You, we’re diving into the real truth about ovulation and why it’s one of the most crucial markers of your overall health (whether you want kids or not!).

Most women were never taught that ovulation is the key to balanced hormones, energy, metabolism, and long-term health. Instead, we’ve been conditioned to believe that suppressing ovulation—through birth control, stress, or lifestyle factors—is no big deal. But here’s the thing: your menstrual cycle (including your ovulation) is your fifth vital sign and it plays a major role in everything from your mood to your bones to your heart health.

In this episode, we’ll cover:
💡 What actually happens when you ovulate (hint: it’s not just about getting pregnant)
💡 Why ovulating regularly is essential for hormone balance, metabolism, and longevity
💡 How birth control shuts down ovulation—and what that means for your health
💡 Signs that you may not be ovulating (even if you have a period!)
💡 Simple, actionable steps to support healthy ovulation at any stage of life

If you’ve ever struggled with irregular cycles, burnout, PMS, or unexplained weight gain, this episode is a must-listen!
