Get Pregnant Naturally - If You’ve Read It Starts With the Egg, What’s Next?
play

06/24/24 • 64 min

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. The recommended supplements (i.e. prenatal, B12, CoQ10, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic, Myo-inositol, L- Carnitine, and men’s supplement recommendations)

Get Pregnant Naturally - What Steps to Take When You Want to Get Pregnant
play

03/30/20 • 27 min

Today I’m digging into specific steps you can take to get pregnant - right now!

If you are here right now – you want to get pregnant and have your baby.

You may be feeling overwhelmed or not sure what to do next during these uncertain times.

Know that NOW is the best time to prepare your body for a baby.

This time will pass, but we don’t know when and we want to spend this time wisely.

  • So you can consume more content.
  • Read more blogs.
  • Read more books.
  • Consult Dr. Google.
  • Or you can take ACTION.

Until you start – nothing changes. Otherwise in 6 months – you’ll be in the same place.

Or you can take advantage of this time. After all the universe/higher power/God has given it to you.

That’s why - if you haven’t committed to a functional approach to your fertility – you are missing healing opportunities – that can help you get pregnant and have your baby.

And waiting for the fertility clinics to open – is not your answer.

In this podcast episode you’ll learn:

  • If you feel like you don’t have enough time to prepare your body for a baby (i.e. you’re overdoing, feeling anxious about the world, and putting yourself last)
  • You’ve already tried everything and you don’t know what to do next. I talk about the top top mistakes we see and how you can avoid them.
  • You feel like IVF is your only option (i.e. you feel stuck during this time and have no idea what to do). I break down the exact steps you and your partner can take right now.

Get Pregnant Naturally - How to Cook Easy Recipes that are Good for Fertility
play

11/09/20 • 60 min

Caitlin Townsend joins us today as we're digging into how to cook foods that are good for your fertility.

Let’s face it changing our diet can be challenging. Our regular go-to snacks and food items may no longer match our new lifestyle.

We may feel that eating healthy for our fertility means chopping all day in the kitchen – but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Before you embark on a change – it’s important to establish your WHY.

If you are here right now – it’s to prepare your body for a baby with your partner.

Yep, we’re in this together.

And does it suck giving up your favorite foods – yes it does (I’ve been there). But after eating the standard western diet for years and literally seeing my health crash, what I know for sure is what we place on our fork every day is critical for our health...especially our preconception health.

So if you are looking for easy options that don’t have you spending all day in the kitchen, I’m excited to welcome Caitlin Townsend to the podcast. Caitlin is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner as well as a Chef trained at The Culinary Institute of America.

This episode is for you if:

You are ready to start the elimination diet and/or the AIP (autoimmune protocol diet) but you have no idea what you’ll eat (hint it’s not about starvation)

You want to eat delicious food that doesn’t take hours to make (who doesn’t – and yes it’s possible).

You’re stuck in a rut and sick of making the same old “fertility-friendly” foods – that don’t satisfy your cravings.

In this episode you’ll learn:

1) How to make eating the right foods for fertility actually taste good and satisfies your cravings.

2) How do we save time so that we don’t spend all day in the kitchen.

3) Easy options for the elimination diet (check out episode – How and Why To Do The Elimination Diet) and AIP diet.

4) Fast breakfast/lunch/dinner ideas and snack options that will keep you satiated.

5) Keeping your blood sugar stable is KEY for fertility our top foods to keep you from getting “hangry”.

Get Pregnant Naturally - Traditional Chinese Medicine and How It Can Improve Fertility
play

07/01/19 • 53 min

Michelle Oravitz joins us today as we're digging into how TCM works to help fertility.

Michelle Oravitz is a fertility acupuncturist who decided to change her career from architecture to natural medicine in the early 2000s. It was not until her life was transformed by acupuncture, that she thought of changing her career from architecture to natural medicine. Michelle suffered from missed periods from the time she was thirteen.

After years of being prescribed the birth control pill by Western medicine doctors and then coming off the pill to continued missed periods, she decided to go to an acupuncturist named Dr. Li who immediately regulated her cycle. Michelle also noticed that the acupuncture created a sense of wellbeing and that her energy increased.

It was this transforming event that inspired her to learn Ayurveda and later Traditional Chinese Medicine. She also realized that had it not been for Dr. Li, she would have struggled for many years to get pregnant. This realization and a natural fascination to learn about fertility drew her to specialize in fertility wellness.

She is passionate about empowering women and couples to take ownership of their health and wellness. Her method of treatment encompasses not only herbs and acupuncture, but also incorporates diet, supplements, essential oils, and most importantly the mind and how it influences conception.

Michelle is the host of ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’ where she features leading professionals from the fertility world along with her own fertility wellness tips to her listeners. Website: www.thewholesomelotus.com

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

Get Pregnant Naturally - Top Stressors Impacting Your Fertility
play

01/15/24 • 40 min

We're digging into how to recognize and address top stressors impacting AMH/FSH.

We all know that life can be stressful, especially when we are TTC.

But how is the stress impacting our ability to conceive?

At Fab Fertile, our thesis is “Is it actually menopause, or is it your adrenals?”

I know the low AMH and/or high FSH diagnosis can lock into our subconscious.

It can make us feel even more stressed and unsure about a path forward.

Many of us have negatively hypnotized ourselves.

Which only leads to more worry and uncertainty about the future.

What if there were specific steps you could take right now to address overwhelm, worry, panic, plus hidden stressors that our doctor hasn’t told us about (but when addressed, can be the clue that shifts the needle toward pregnancy success)?

In this episode, you'll learn:

1) How to address mental/emotional stress (we discuss how to manage setting work boundaries, toxic workplace, long hours (anything over 50 hrs/week), toxic relationships and how to strengthen the relationship with your partner

2) How to know if we're in burnout (hint: how you begin your morning will give you a clue, plus one of our favourite tests)

3) Why your conventional doctor will miss physiological stress and how to address this once and for all (and this matters for AMH, FSH and antral follicle count)

Dr. Anna Cabeca joins us today as we’re digging into how to heal naturally if you have premature ovarian insufficiency.

When I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure/insufficiency (POF/POI) at 28 I was told my only options were donor eggs.

I had no idea that underlying stressors both physical and mental/emotional were contributing to my infertility.

Fortunately, I was able to have both my children with donor eggs – but years later my health really began to suffer.

What I now know for sure is that crucial healing opportunities were missed for me. I see this all the time when we work with clients in our Fab Fertile Coaching program.

It is not about focusing on the POF/POI diagnosis.

Conventional medicine offers very few solutions for POF/POI. It’s either IVF (we’re given a very low chance of success) or donor eggs.

The functional approach addresses the healing opportunities (they are different for everyone and very individualized) and restores balance to the body. Because if your body is under attack it wants to survive not to procreate.

I’m excited to welcome Dr. Anna Cabeca, Emory University-trained and triple board-certified in gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Cabeca was diagnosed with POI and was able to reverse the condition and get pregnant naturally with her daughter.

On this podcast you’ll learn:

1) Why POF/POI is not early menopause. Even if you have not had a period for more than 12 months we discuss if it is possible to restart the period again.

2) A POF/POI diagnosis is emotionally devastating – how to how to stay optimistic (especially when well-meaning doctors are telling you that you'll never conceive with your own eggs.)

3) Common issues we see with POF/POI (i.e. food sensitivities, gut infections, mineral imbalance, long term birth control use, autoimmunity, and thyroiditis).

4) We discuss the autoimmune disease and POF/POI and we break down the studies.

5) Why insulin, cortisol, and oxytocin matter and why balancing these is essential for hormone health and POF/POI.

6) When to supplement with bioidenticals. What to do about hot flashes (what do they mean?) Plus help for painful sex/urinary leakage and dryness.

TIMESTAMPS: 06:08- INTRO AND DR. ANNA CABECA'S BIO 07:26- DR. ANNA CABECA'S STORY WITH INFERTILITY 09:38- WHY POI (POF) ISN'T EARLY MENOPAUSE
  • Menopause is said to have started when there is not a period for 12 months, why is this not the case for POI?
  • Is it possible to regain your period?
  • Dr. Cabeca regaining her cycle at 54
  • "There are so many things that can affect our hormones"
15:16- HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO STAY POSITIVE AFTER A DEVASTATING DIAGNOSIS?
  • "Part of my healing was keeping the earth moving below my feet."
  • Focusing on success stories
  • Understanding the importance of healing cell to cell communication
  • How trauma and grief can affect your nervous system, "Physiology drives behavior."
  • Finding hope and not allowing despair to take hold of us, "We can never give up hope."
  • "If you see it you can experience it."
  • The hormonal disruption caused by trauma
  • Why you should establish a "cheer word"
28:25- WHAT ARE SOME COMMON ISSUES YOU ARE SEEING WITH POI?
  • Hormonal deficiencies and the feeling that your body is "betraying you"
  • Healing the gut, increasing heart rate variability, and other functional approaches to healing
  • "When we support the adrenals we support the ovaries."
32:05- WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE AND POI?
  • "You cannot separate your mental atmosphere from our physiological atmosphere."
  • The tie of autoimmune disease and emotions, "Organs hold emotions."
  • How improving one area improves another
  • Understanding the toxins in not only our foods but in our lifestyle
37:50- DETOX RECOMMENDATIONS
  • Focusing on healthy greens, removing grains, etc
  • Common food sensitivities and why to eliminate them on a detox
  • Considering the source and how we eat "what we ate, ate"
39:45- HOT FLASHES AND POI
  • Supporting our hormones from the bottom up
  • Insulin resistance and the harm of snacking
41:55- THOUGHTS ON POI BEING AN AUTOIMMUNE ISSUE, TO BEGIN WITH
  • How much we have to learn about the issue and how complex it is
42:45- WHEN WOULD YOU USE BIOIDENTICAL?
  • How we cannot rely on bioidenticals alone and the importance of addressing the root cause
  • Recommendations for DHEA and why she believes to "start low, go slow"

Get Pregnant Naturally - The Right Time to use Bioidentical Hormones When You Are TTC
play

09/14/20 • 42 min

Justine Altman joins Sarah Clark as we’re digging into bioidentical hormones and when/if you need to use them during the fertility journey.

When I was diagnosed with POF/POI at 28 I was told that I needed to get on hormone replacement therapy right away to protect my bones, prevent osteoporosis, and protect my heart. So I took a synthetic form of hormone replacement therapy for years. And then I discovered that the root cause of my infertility was a food sensitivity, gut infection, and chronic stress. Many of my chronic health issues went away because I committed to the diet and lifestyle changes. I stopped taking hormone replacement therapy because of the negative side effects of synthetic hormones. But I know I still needed support with my hormones. Enter bioidentical hormones. You may be wondering "can I use bioidenticals if I am TTC?" They can be a good addition to your fertility toolkit...but they need to be used at the right time (Lifestyle changes need to be prioritized first before we take the hormones).

Because bioidenticals alone are not the answer, but they can be part of the solution.
