How To Naturally Boost Estrogen and Get Pregnant
We're digging into how to boost estrogen levels naturally to improve pregnancy success. Many of us are struggling with symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, and irregular or absent periods. Your doctor may have told you to rush to IVF or that donor eggs were your only hope. Maybe they told you to get on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) right away to protect your heart and your bones.

Let’s figure out the factors that influence estrogen and the steps you can take right now to improve pregnancy success.   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) The most common signs of low estrogen and why going on HRT is a band-aid approach and doesn’t uncover the reason it’s low in the first place 2) The factors that influence estrogen (i.e. thyroid, gut microbiome, adrenals, mineral deficiencies) 3) Specific steps to take right now to balance hormones and improve estrogen levels   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I just put together a new guide, “Reconnecting With Your Fertility: Preparing Your Body With Diet” that I'm going to give you pro bono (aka, free 😂) If you want it, email hello@fabfertile.ca with "10 DAY".

Could lipid replacement therapy support your cell health and improve pregnancy success? with Dr. Carolyn Messere

Could lipid replacement therapy support your cell health and improve pregnancy success? with Dr. Carolyn Messere
We’re digging into lipid replacement therapy while TTC. You may have heard of intralipid therapy. Many fertility clinics are offering this service to improve pregnancy outcomes (especially for recurrent pregnancy loss or elevated natural killer cells). Intralipids are synthetic and made from soybean, egg yolk, glycerine and water. Possible side effects are headache, dizziness, nausea, sweating, or vomiting may occur. Is there a better way to boost the immune system naturally and support our mitochondrial health? Our bodies weren’t meant to handle all the high toxin exposure, and this may be impacting your ability to get pregnant and carry a baby to term. Lipid replacement therapy may be an option to consider. I'm excited to welcome Dr. Carolyn Messere to the podcast. Dr. Carolyn is a seasoned Functional Medicine MD with a decade of expertise dedicated to empowering individuals battling fatigue, anxiety, and hormone imbalances.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) What is lipid replacement therapy, and how can it help when you are TTC 2) The difference between synthetic intralipid therapy being offered at the fertility clinic and lipid replacement therapy 3) How lipid replacement therapy can help with Lyme disease, EBV, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and mitochondrial dysfunction   Get your free guide to lipid replacement therapy - https://www.drmessere.com/free-gift   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I just put together a new guide “Reconnecting With Your Fertility: Preparing Your Body With Diet” that I'm going to give you pro bono (aka, free 😂) If you want it, reply here with "10 DAY".

How Reproductive Immunology Therapies Can Improve Pregnancy Outcomes with Dr. Marco Mouanness

How Reproductive Immunology Therapies Can Improve Pregnancy Outcomes with Dr. Marco Mouanness
We’re digging into reproductive immunology and why this can help pregnancy outcomes. Reproductive immunology is a hot topic in the fertility space. There are some cutting-edge therapies that can help address diminished ovarian reserve, repeat miscarriage, elevated NK cells, positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA), secondary infertility and unexplained infertility. I’ve hosted the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast for over 6.5 years, and I know that when we work on our health, we can reverse infertility. In all those episodes, I have not interviewed anyone from the conventional fertility industry. We are not anti-IVF, but I believe strongly that the first step for anyone on the fertility journey must include a targeted assessment and action plan to improve our health. Skipping this part is what leads many to experience poor outcomes with assisted reproductive technology. I wanted to bring this episode to you to discuss some therapies to consider after you’ve conducted functional testing, optimized your biomarkers and implemented a targeted plan to address the underlying reasons for your fertility diagnosis. Today, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Marco Mouanness to the podcast. Dr. Marco is a published author and expert on several fertility topics, such as ovarian rejuvenation, PCOS, endometriosis, recurrent implantation failure, and the impact of COVID-19 on fertility and pregnancy. In this episode, you'll learn about: 1) Factors that indicate the need for immune testing (i.e. NK cells, ANA, recurrent miscarriage, low egg count and more) 2) Cutting-edge therapies such as uterine PRP (platelet-rich plasma therapy), vaginal ozone therapy and lipid infusion 3) If and when to use these therapies and how to know if they are right for you when you are TTC   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Connect with Dr. Marco at https://www.rejuvenatingfertility.com/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I just put together a new guide, “Reconnecting With Your Fertility: Preparing Your Body With Diet” that I'm going to give you pro bono (aka, free 😂) If you want it, email hello@fabfertile.ca with "10 DAY".

The Number One Thing We Can Do To Get Pregnant This Year (Hint: It's Not Rushing To IVF)
16-09-2024
The Number One Thing We Can Do To Get Pregnant This Year (Hint: It's Not Rushing To IVF)
We’re digging into how to know if IVF is the next step if you have low AMH/high FSH. If the majority of us can get pregnant naturally, why is there such a push to go to IVF? First of all, most doctors get little more than one week of nutrition training in medical school. They simply don’t know the power of personalized lifestyle changes to improve pregnancy success. So, their go-to solution is medication. Many medical schools are funded by big pharma. Doctors are indoctrinated into the pharmaceutical complex during their training. They are NOT trained to investigate why a bodily system is out of balance, only to identify the issue and prescribe a drug or cut it out with surgery. Don’t get me wrong; modern medicine saves lives. If you have an acute issue, such as a broken arm, your doctor can help. But for chronic conditions such as infertility, our medical system falls short. The number one thing we can do to get pregnant isn’t rush to IVF; it's to focus on our health. But where do we start (how do we avoid time wasters) so we can get pregnant this year?   This episode is for you if: 1) You’ve tried diet/lifestyle changes, and you feel like IVF is the next step 2) You’re not sure how to optimize successful IVF 3) You feel like something is being missed, but you're being told you’re running out of time 4) You’ve already experienced failed IVF, and they're rushing you into another 5) You feel hesitant to rush back in again without making targeted changes to your health   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I just put together a new guide “Reconnecting With Your Fertility: Preparing Your Body With Diet” that I'm going to give you pro bono (aka, free 😂) If you want it, reply here with "10 DAY".

Why Addressing Homocysteine Levels Can Boost Egg and Sperm Health
We're digging into how homocysteine impacts fertility. Our goal at Fab Fertile is to reduce inflammation in your body and boost your immune system so you can prepare for pregnancy success. But how can you tell if you have inflammation in the body? A good marker to get tested is your homocysteine. Optimal homocysteine levels are crucial for overall health and high levels can lead to inflammation. Plus, healthy homocysteine levels are essential for egg and sperm health. So, what are the exact steps to improve homocysteine levels and get pregnant this year?   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) What is homocysteine, and why does it matter for fertility (i.e., ovulation, egg health, sperm health, embryo quality, implantation, and pregnancy outcomes) 2) What are the optimal reference ranges for healthy homocysteine levels in the blood 3) Which foods can help improve homocysteine levels 4) Which supplements can help with homocysteine levels (i.e., MTHFR gene variant (60-80% of us have this variant) and how can this impact homocysteine)   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I just put together a new guide, “Reconnecting With Your Fertility: Preparing Your Body With Diet” that I'm going to give you pro bono (aka, free 😂) If you want it, reply here with "10 DAY".

What To Do When You Have No Idea What To Eat To Improve Pregnancy Success This Year
When I polled our Get Pregnant Naturally with Low AMH/High FSH Facebook group, they told me that their biggest struggle right now is what to eat to improve pregnancy success. There can be a lot of contradictory information about the right diet for fertility. Remember, generalized dietary recommendations such as carnivore, paleo, keto or vegan only waste time. We need a personalized approach because we’re all unique. So, where do you start? I’ve got a simple 10-day plan so you can figure out how food impacts your body. In this episode, you'll learn: 1) How to know if your infertility is a symptom of something else going on in your body (Hint – digestive issues, skin/mood problems, joint issues, and autoimmunity are ALL clues) 2) What is a leaky gut, and why this matters if you are TTC 3) Which foods to avoid during the elimination and how to reintroduce them (this part is crucial) 4) Which foods you will eat (it is NOT about starving or drinking green juice) 5) How to commit and actually start the elimination diet (gluten-light/dairy-light do NOT work) 6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you during an elimination diet   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I just put together a new guide “Reconnecting With Your Fertility: Preparing Your Body With Diet” that I'm going to give you pro bono (aka, free 😂) If you want it, reply here with "10 DAY".

Why Genetic Testing (Different From Karyotyping) Can Personalize Your Protocol So That You Can Get Pregnant This Year with Dr. Sam Shay

Why Genetic Testing (Different From Karyotyping) Can Personalize Your Protocol So That You Can Get Pregnant This Year with Dr. Sam Shay
We’re digging into how functional genetics can improve pregnancy outcomes. At Fab Fertile, we’ve been offering genetic/genomic testing as part of our method for years. This genetic testing is very different from the testing you would receive from your doctor. When you go to a fertility clinic, they typically conduct karyotyping genetic testing to understand your ability to produce a healthy embryo. However, approximately 10% of the population has abnormal chromosomes, so focusing solely on karyotyping misses crucial genetic information. Our genetic testing looks at specific gene variants and makes specific diet/lifestyle recommendations and supplements that can support your genes. This genetic testing helps us personalize and fast-track your chances of pregnancy success. So how do we use genetics testing to identify what is holding you back from conceiving and fast-tracking pregnancy success? I’m excited to welcome Dr. Sam Shay to the podcast. Dr. Shay earned a Doctorate in Chiropractic and degrees and certifications in acupuncture, functional neurology, genetics analysis, and functional medicine. In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) Why genetic testing is essential for anyone trying to conceive, and which genes are essential for conception and improving pregnancy outcomes 2) How to boost the immune system and why this matters for reproductive health 3) Specific genes such as MTHFR and more and how to support genetic pathways to get pregnant this year   Download your free Missing Genes Mini Course - https://drsamshay.com/genetics   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to decreased ovarian reserve, as indicated by higher serum FSH, low AMH and low antral follicle count.

Why Addressing Digestive Symptoms Can Improve Reproductive Health with Dr. Melanie Keller
We’re digging into what IBS/SIBO has to do with reproductive health. So many of us are experiencing digestive complaints such as loose stools, constipation, bloating or gas. And while these may be common, they are certainly not normal. When you’re trying to conceive, they are a clue to dig deeper. This is especially true if you’ve been diagnosed with the catch-all diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). So, what can you do to address IBS, and why are these embarrassing symptoms linked to fertility? I’m excited to welcome Melanie Keller to the podcast. Melanie is a leading global pioneer in the revolutionary treatment of IBS/SIBO, with an astounding success rate of 90% and permanent results in 12 weeks or less. Her innovative and successful treatment has garnered recognition in top-tier media outlets such as Forbes Health, Well+Good, and ABC's "The List TV." Her innovative way of thinking and providing clarity in application are at the forefront of her precision medicine approach to health and well-being.   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) What IBS is, and what you can do to address the symptoms (plus why it matters if we’re trying to conceive) 2) The connection between IBS and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) 3) Steps to take to improve IBS symptoms plus supplements and diet/lifestyle strategies   Free micro meditation - https://mailchi.mp/adad6ee73c76/intuitiveedge   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I’m excited to announce that our Summer Fertility Recipe Guide is ready!

Why A CGM Could Help With Embryo Implantation with Boris Berjan

Why A CGM Could Help With Embryo Implantation with Boris Berjan
We’re digging into why a continuous glucose monitor can help when TTC. Balancing blood sugar may not be on your radar when you have low AMH and or high FSH. At Fab Fertile HQ, it’s one of the top themes we see with couples that have diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency. You may even have signs of blood sugar imbalance, such as poor sleep, sugar cravings, feeling hangry, or mood swings. However, because your glucose is “normal,” your doctor is not investigating further. But remember, normal does not mean optimal. Optimal glucose levels are needed to conceive and have your baby. Blood sugar imbalance may be the reason why the embryo is not implanting. So how can we improve our chances of getting pregnant naturally, and could a continuous glucose monitor be part of your fertility toolkit? I'm excited to welcome Boris Berjan to the podcast. Boris is a two-time chronic illness conquerer who, at one point, had seven different doctors (from MDs to energy healers) and became extremely frustrated with the shotgun approach applied to my health without real-time objective data. He is the founder of Theia Health, a pioneer in provider-focused CGM platforms.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Why balancing blood sugar for both men and women is vital for reproductive health 2) Signs of high/low blood sugar and the impact on fertility 3) How a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help someone who is TTC to balance blood sugar and personalize diet/lifestyle Get your CGM here: https://theiahealth.ai/c/fabfertile   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to decreased ovarian reserve, as indicated by higher serum FSH, low AMH and low antral follicle count.

How To Prevent Cancer and What To Do If You've Been Diagnosed With Cancer While TTC with Katrina Foe
We’re digging into cancer prevention and having cancer while TTC. Many of us have been touched by cancer in some way. A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience and challenges individuals in ways that can be hard to imagine. Conventional medicine tells us that chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are the only treatment options. While those options may be suitable for some, there are alternatives that we can consider. It can be incredibly confusing to know where you can start to optimize pregnancy success after or during a cancer diagnosis. Also, you may have a family history of cancer and want to optimize preconception health (is IVF right for someone who has a higher risk of cancer?). So, where do you start? I’m excited to welcome Katrina Foe (https://www.cancerfreedom.com/) to the podcast. Katrina became a functional practitioner after getting her breast cancer into remission, 100% naturally. She is board-certified in holistic nutrition and has been in the health field since opening her Pilates studio at 24. She also homeschooled her seven children while writing her international bestseller, Nutritional Pilates!   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) How to prevent cancer and prepare for pregnancy success (biomarkers that can detect early cancer) 2) What to do if you receive a cancer diagnosis while TTC (tests to run, questions to ask your doctor, self-advocacy) 3) Functional medicine/nutrition strategies to reverse cancer (without chemotherapy/radiation) 4) How to know when/if to utilize chemo/radiation 5) Nutrition and stress reduction strategies to improve reproductive health   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I’m excited to announce that our Summer Fertility Recipe Guide is ready!

Why AMH Is The Wrong Biomarker To Focus On and What To Do Instead To Get Pregnant This Year
22-07-2024
Why AMH Is The Wrong Biomarker To Focus On and What To Do Instead To Get Pregnant This Year
We’re digging into what you need to know if you have low AMH and want to get pregnant this year. Most people I speak with have their AMH (anti-Mullerian hormone) biomarker memorized. A low result can have you feeling confused and panicked about your next steps. But what if we are focusing on the wrong biomarker? After all, AMH does not predict egg quality or your body’s ability to get pregnant naturally. It’s a marker of your ovarian reserve and does not determine your ability to get pregnant. We’ve helped women with AMH as low as 0.02 ng/ML get pregnant naturally. So, what can you do to get pregnant this year when you have low AMH? In this episode, you'll learn: 1) What the studies are telling us about AMH and fertility (i.e., AMH is not a predictor of pregnancy success) 2) What to focus on instead of AMH that improves your reproductive health (i.e., themes we see with low AMH and action steps to help you get pregnant this year) 3) The biggest barriers we see with low AMH and how to improve egg retrievals/transfers and implantation with IVF   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to decreased ovarian reserve, as indicated by higher serum FSH, low AMH and low antral follicle count.

It can't tell you about the health of your eggs or predict if you can get pregnant. The AMH level does not need to define your chances. So, how do we fast-track pregnancy success? What you place on your fork every day matters. And no, you don't need to try the latest dietary fads such as: ❌ Carnivore ❌ Keto ❌ Vegan It's not about following generalized dietary guidelines. Because that only wastes precious time. The most important factor is consuming the diet that is right for YOU. I’m excited to announce that our Summer Fertility Recipe Guide is ready!

What Your Menstrual Cycle Is Telling You About Your Fertility and How To Regulate Your Cycle with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack
We’re digging into period health and how to regulate your menstrual cycle. A healthy menstrual cycle is essential for optimal fertility. Many of us are dealing with heavy cycles, light cycles, irregular cycles, anovulation, or amenorrhea. What are our periods telling us about our fertility? And how do we regulate our cycles to improve pregnancy success? Lisa Hendrickson-Jack is a certified Fertility Awareness Educator and Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner who teaches women to chart their menstrual cycles for natural birth control, conception, and monitoring overall health. She is co-author of the new book Real Food for Fertility: Prepare your body for pregnancy with preconception nutrition and fertility awareness.   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) What your cycle is telling you about your fertility 2) Steps to address your period health 3) How to ensure you’re not missing your fertile window   --- Remember, AMH is NOT a predictor of natural pregnancy.

What Foods To Eat Right Now If You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH
08-07-2024
What Foods To Eat Right Now If You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH
We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success. A theme we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is food sensitivities. I know you’ve already made dietary changes. Maybe you took out gluten and dairy and didn’t even notice a difference. So, you kept eating them. But you’re still struggling to conceive. If you didn’t notice any symptoms, you could still have underlying inflammation, which may be why it’s not working. However, if you have an immediate reaction to a food, such as gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, you know for sure that the food is not right for your body. So, stop eating it! If your body is under attack (even by a seemingly healthy food), it wants to survive, not procreate. An elimination diet is the gold standard for determining if you have a food sensitivity. We’ve had people only make diet changes, and they’ve successfully conceived (even after going through failed IVFs). But you have to rip off the bandaid and start.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) How to know if your infertility is a symptom of something else going on in your body (Hint – digestive issues, skin problems, mood problems, joint issues, and autoimmunity are ALL clues) 2) What is a leaky gut, and why this matters if you are TTC 3) Which foods to avoid during the elimination and how to reintroduce the foods (this part is crucial) 4) Which foods will you eat (it is NOT about starving or drinking green juice) 5) How to commit and actually start the elimination diet (gluten-light/dairy-light do NOT work) 6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you during an elimination diet   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- Vitamin D deficiency may be linked to decreased ovarian reserve, as indicated by higher serum FSH, low AMH and low antral follicle count.

How To Recharge Your Libido (And Your Partner’s) To Improve Fertility with Dr. Deb Matthew
We’re digging into how to improve your libido when you are TTC. When you’re on the fertility journey, your focus may be on babymaking rather than lovemaking, with intimacy feeling more like a chore rather than experiencing true connection. Or what if your libido has been impacted, and you don’t even want to have sex? But you’re trying to conceive, and you have no idea how to reclaim the passion and pleasure that lovemaking once had for you. Either way, this journey can be hard on a couple. How can you improve intimacy and recharge your libido (for both you and your partner) as you prepare for your baby? I’m excited to welcome Dr. Deb Matthew back to the podcast. Dr. Deb is The Happy Hormones Doctor, a best-selling author, international speaker, educator, wife, and mom of four boys.   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) Signs of low libido in both men and women (this can be tied into why you are struggling to conceive) 2) Reasons for low libido and steps you can take right now to improve hormone levels so you can get pregnant 3) Nutrient deficiencies and which supplements can be helpful to improve libido 4) Regenerative medicine techniques to combat painful sex and erectile dysfunction and improve orgasms --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Connect with Dr. Deb Matthew Download your free guide here - A Busy Woman's Guide to Symptoms of Hormone Imbalance - https://www.IsItYourHormones.com/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- Fab Prenatal includes all the essential nutrients to help support a healthy mom and growing baby throughout her pregnancy journey.

If You’ve Read It Starts With the Egg, What’s Next?
We’re digging into what to do after you’ve read It Starts With The Egg. Most people on the fertility journey have read It Starts with the Egg by Rebecca Fett. It has become the bible for egg health and the fertility community. The well-researched book includes actionable steps for diet, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations. However, the advice does skew towards IVF preparation rather than getting pregnant naturally. What if you’ve already made all the changes in the book, but it still hasn’t worked? Let’s break down the generalized guidelines in the book and how to personalize the suggestions to improve pregnancy success. This episode is for you if: You have implemented the suggestions in the book, and it still hasn’t worked You were so overwhelmed by the book that you didn’t know where to start Your partner isn’t making any of the suggested changes - just you! (steps to help his preconception health) You haven’t read the book but you want to know how to improve egg quality and fertility naturally In this episode, you'll learn: 1. Why your Vitamin D levels are low 2. Why looking at your TSH is not enough 3. Why digging into the diet is KEY for your fertility 4. What you could be missing when it comes to environmental toxins 5. Hw to improve your melatonin 6. Why a blood test does NOT tell us the whole picture 7.

Ozempic Babies: Weight Loss Drugs And The Impact On Fertility with Betty Murray
We’re digging into the impact of using Ozempic when you are TTC. Ozempic, a drug used to treat diabetes, is getting a lot of attention as celebrities have described using it to lose a lot of weight in short time frames. Search “Ozempic babies” on TikTok and you’ll see quite a few videos declaring surprise pregnancies (Ozempic also reduces the efficacy of oral birth control). You may have been told to lose weight to get pregnant or for IVF. Today, we discuss the pros and cons of Ozempic and similar GLP-1 agonists and what you need to know if you are TTC.

Why A Mineral Deficiency Matters When You Are Trying To Conceive with Terra Vitiello

Why A Mineral Deficiency Matters When You Are Trying To Conceive with Terra Vitiello
We’re digging into what mineral levels mean for your fertility. Minerals are the body's spark plugs and are essential for reproductive health. But poor diet, alcohol, medications, and stress can deplete your vital mineral stores. So, if you have brittle hair/nails, mouth ulcers/cracks in the corners of your lips, bleeding gums, poor night vision, dandruff, fatigue, weakness, red bumps on the skin, restless leg syndrome, dry skin, or hair loss (frankly, the list goes on…) there may be a mineral deficiency. The right balance of minerals in our body is essential for optimal health. I know you’ve been told that the low AMH and high FSH diagnosis is the end of the line. However, we are focusing on the wrong biomarkers. Let’s learn how to take simple steps that balance our minerals to restore our reproductive health. I’m excited to welcome Terra Vitiello. Terra is a Functional Fertility Practitioner who has dedicated her career to helping couples grow their families naturally. She is the creator of the Fertility-Ready Roadmap Program, the author of Before the Bump Supplement Guidebook, and a clinical advisor for the HTMA test.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) The top 7 minerals that impact fertility and how to ensure your body is not deficient 2) What depletes our minerals and simple steps (using diet/lifestyle and targeted supplementation) that can bring our levels into the optimal range (which is essential for reproductive health) 3) How to measure your minerals and what is often missed at your conventional doctor's visit   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Connect with Terra Vitiello Website: https://thefertilitymovement.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.fertility.movement/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   Ultimate Diet for Egg and Sperm Health - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/the-ultimate-diet-for-egg-and-sperm-health   Want to Get Pregnant This Year - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/want-to-get-pregnant-this-year   Top Fertility Supplements You Need To Get Pregnant This Year - Access your free guide here at www.suppguideffl.com   --- Where should I start to optimize pregnancy success?

Essential Tests To Optimize Preconception Health (That Your Doctor Won't Tell You About) with Alexandria DeVito
We're digging into the essential testing needed for preconception health. It may feel overwhelming when you are trying to conceive with all the contradictory advice out there. But what if your doctor is missing critical testing that can fast-track your chances of pregnancy success? It’s not about waiting until you’ve tried for more than one year if you’re under 35 or six months if you’re over 35. That’s outdated advice that only keeps you stuck. It’s about taking charge of your health now to optimize preconception health and get pregnant. So, what tests will help you understand your reproductive health so you can prepare your body in the best way for your baby? I’m excited to welcome Alexandria DeVito to the podcast. Alexandria is the CEO of Poplin, the first pre-pregnancy wellness company of its kind, and a functional nutritionist specializing in fertility and preconception health.   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) What tests to ask for if you’re planning to get pregnant 2) Our take on AMH testing and which markers are more important to test 3) Which biomarkers you need to ask to be tested (these are regularly missed), and why they are so crucial for preconception health   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Connect with Alexandria DeVito Alexandria DeVito’s Book | 9 Months Is Not Enough: The Ultimate Pre-pregnancy Checklist to Create a Baby-Ready Body and Build Generational Health https://9monthsisnotenough.com/ Poplin: the first pre-pregnancy wellness company for couples - use code GPN10 for 10% off (US residents only) https://getpoplin.com/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   Ultimate Diet for Egg and Sperm Health - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/the-ultimate-diet-for-egg-and-sperm-health   Want to Get Pregnant This Year - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/want-to-get-pregnant-this-year   Top Fertility Supplements You Need To Get Pregnant This Year - Access your free guide here at www.suppguideffl.com   --- Where should I start to optimize pregnancy success?
