#09 Stress, Burn Out & Bodies in Balance: Understanding Naturopathy

An Aussie meets a Kiwi in this episode of Bumps Along the Way!

Amsterdam-based Francesca Lyon is a naturopath and medical herbalist. After experiencing a severe burnout during the start of her career in advertising, she made a switch to study natural medicine, learning how to live with a body in balance and thankfully reaping the rewards herself!

Together, we explore:

• Francesca’s personal experience with stress and burnout
• Coming off the hormonal birth control pill
• What a body in balance looks like
• What is naturopathy?
• How can naturopathy help with trying to conceive?
• The impact of stress on fertility and conceiving
• Why it's important to look 50/50 at both sperm and egg quality
• The decline of sperm health
• How naturopathy can support unexplained infertility
• How we can improve egg quality
• The importance of follicle health
• And, why it might be time to toss the scented candles and perfumes while we're trying to conceive

As always, there's a lot I took out of this conversation and I hope you will too!
