Are fertility monitors giving women real answers or just more reasons to stress?

In this episode of the Functionally Speaking podcast, we’re breaking down the rise of at-home hormone trackers like Mira and Inito, and sharing how we really feel about them. We talk about the promise of data, the pressure to “get it right,” and the fine line between feeling empowered and feeling overwhelmed. We also dig into what these tools can help with, what they can’t, and how we coach clients through fertility without turning it into a numbers game.

If you’ve been wondering whether fertility monitors are helpful, harmful, or somewhere in between, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• 02:05 What fertility monitors actually track
• 04:42 Why these tools have become so popular and who they’re built for
• 06:56 What we love about at-home fertility trackers
• 14:35 What we hate about at-home fertility trackers
• 18:06 When to use these tools and when to step back
