Navigating fertility—whether you’re just starting to try, seeking answers, or moving through treatments—can feel overwhelming. That’s exactly why this fertility resource guide was created. The truth is, it’s not just about getting pregnant. Fertility is not one single thing—it’s a whole-body ecosystem influenced by your hormones, nervous system, gut health, movement habits, stress load, fascia, and more.
At Knocked-Up Fitness, we believe in giving women the tools to understand their bodies through a holistic lens—because when you know why and how your body works, you can better support your fertility from the inside out. This fertility resource guide was created to help you do exactly that.
This guide brings together:
Your most helpful Knocked-Up Fitness blog resources
Expert interviews with Fertility Coach Elizabeth King
A spotlight on Dr. Stephanie Gray’s new book, Your Fertility Blueprint
Practical, movement-based and lifestyle-based strategies to support fertility naturally
Why a Holistic Fertility Resource Guide Matters
Traditional conversations about fertility often focus on age, egg quality, sperm count, or medical timelines. But fertility is far more nuanced.
Your fascia, stress levels, core stability, inflammation, detox pathways, sleep, and movement patterns all impact your reproductive system. And I (Coach Jen) know this all too well—because I personally struggled with infertility. It ultimately came down to addressing these very areas in my own body. Once I did the deeper work to support my health at the root, I was able to get pregnant. But it didn’t happen by chance—it happened because I committed to the process.
On the Knocked-Up Fitness blog, we’ve already explored this in posts like:
Getting Pregnant & Staying Pregnant:

A holistic approach acknowledges that fertility is impacted by your whole body, not just reproductive organs. And that means you have more influence than you might realize.

Elizabeth’s message is empowering:
When you support your nervous system and mindset, your body shifts into a more fertile state.
This aligns beautifully with the breathwork, fascia-focused movement, pelvic alignment, and nervous system regulation emphasized in our Knocked-Up Fitness programs.
**Spotlight: Dr. Stephanie Gray’s New Book
Your Fertility Blueprint**
One of the most comprehensive new fertility resources on the market is Dr. Stephanie Gray’s book, Your Fertility Blueprint: Renovating Your Reproductive Health Through Functional Medicine.
Dr. Gray highlights root causes of infertility that often get overlooked, including:
Inflammation & Gut Health
Gut imbalances, hidden infections, food sensitivities, and systemic inflammation.
Environmental Toxins & Endocrine Disruptors
BPA, phthalates, pesticides, fragrances, heavy metals, plastics, and hormone-disrupting chemicals.
Mitochondrial Health
Because egg and sperm quality rely heavily on mitochondrial function.
Male Fertility (50% of the Equation)
The book emphasizes how optimizing male health can drastically improve outcomes.
The 100-Day Fertility Window
Egg and sperm quality respond to lifestyle, detox, and nutrition over ~100 days.
This is powerful and encouraging—you can influence fertility in real time.
Dr. Gray integrates conventional medicine and functional medicine, creating a blueprint that empowers women to take an active role in their fertility journey.
Movement, Fascia & Fertility: Why How You Move Matters
Your fertility is deeply connected to:
circulation
fascia hydration
nervous system regulation
pelvic alignment
cortisol rhythm
breath mechanics
inflammation
High-intensity exercise, poor breathing mechanics, chronic stress, dehydration, or tight fascia can work against your fertility.
Supportive movement—like the style taught inside our Knocked-Up Fitness membership—helps:
Improve blood flow to reproductive organs
Regulate the nervous system
Lower cortisol
Support pelvic alignment
Reduce inflammation
Optimize deep core + pelvic floor function
These foundational patterns prepare your body not just for conception, but also for pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
