Why A Mineral Deficiency Matters When You Are Trying To Conceive with Terra Vitiello
06/10/24 • 52 min
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

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 That’s outdated advice that only keeps you stuck.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

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.
I’m excited to welcome Betty Murray to the podcast. Betty Murray, MS, CN, IFMCP is a Certified Nutritionist and Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner (IFMCP). She possesses a Master of Science in Human Nutrition Science and Integrative & Functional Nutrition and is currently completing her Ph.D. dissertation at Saybrook University.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How Ozempic and GLP-1 agonists impact hormones and fertility
2) Risks and side effects of Ozempic (what the studies tell us)
3) Why having sufficient information before making decisions about healthcare or starting any drug is critical and what informed consent means
4) Dosing (consider compounding pharmacy) and how to prevent all the weight from coming back
