54. How do I boost my fertility in between children? with Kim Perez, FNTP
Michelle talks to Kim Perez about recovering from childbirth with the plan to prepare for another baby. We talk about how pregnancy, labor & delivery, and breastfeeding can leave you depleted, and what you can do to make sure your body is ready to carry another child. Rebuilding nutrient stores and regaining mental health are so important for both mom and baby during pregnancy. Kim talks through general considerations for making sure your cycle is healthy, but goes into specific questions like ideal spacing between kids and trying to conceive while breastfeeding. Then we go into the conflicting messages we get about dieting postpartum and how than can impact your fertility and ability to replete nutrients.

55. What is an endocrine disruptor and how can I avoid them? with Victoria Richards, FNTP
Michelle talks to Victoria Richards about the endocrine system - which includes all of our female hormones. We talk about xenoestrogens, substances that imatate estrogen in the body, and how they can disrupt normal hormone balance in the body. We also go through how they can effect your cycle and your fertility. Then we talk about where you can find them in your foods, personal care products and in your home - then swaps you can make to reduce your exposure to endocrine disruptors. We also talk about how these harmful substances are not regulated by the FDA and are hard to identify on product packaging.
