Nikki Gratrix is our second guest on Mental Health Month and we're talking about the effect of childhood trauma on women's health. This is a great under-talked about epidemic that affects many people for years. And these childhood traumas could go from the very severe to the much less severe. But the good thing is that we can reverse them with interventions we can employ today. So this is a very interesting talk packed with facts and suggestions.

Nikki is an amazing speaker who has done a lot of research into the connection between childhood trauma and illness. She studied and was working in banking, economics & finance before moving to the health industry. She wanted to do something with more meaning and to help people directly.

Nikki trained and worked as a Clinical Nutritionist in the UK, and during this time she became more of a mind-body expert rather than just looking at nutrition and functional nutrition.

WELCOME TO DAY 2 OF FERTILITY WEEK!

Sarah Clark is a certified life coach with accreditation from the International Coaches Federation and a health coach with training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. At 28 years old, she was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure and accepted the diagnosis and had both of her kids through IVF. Years later she realized the root cause of her infertility was food intolerance.

Later, while working in HR, she took life and health coaching courses because she was bringing coaching to the corporate environment and found out how food affects the body. She learnt that she had food sensitivity and changed her diet and lifestyle, and in a few months her health began to improve.

Sarah Clark is the author of Fabulously Fertile: Supercharge Your Fertility Naturally, a fertility cookbook for couples struggling with infertility.

In this episode, we talk about:

1. What happens to our body when we eat food we are intolerant to?
2. Tests for food sensitivity/intolerance e.g. Ige test, Igg test, MRT test, ALCAT test
3. Involvement of male partners in fertility
4. Restoring/healing a damaged system after eating some foods for years
5. Gut healing foods and her recommendation for probiotics
6. Some tips for home cooking
7. Which kind of fish to eat for fertility
8. The connection between gluten and premature ovarian failure

Sarah Clark’s Resources:

1. Free 3-Day Fertility Diet Challenge
2. Fab Fertilie Support Group on Facebook
3. A recently launched Free Guided fertility Visualization download

We put all of Sarah Clark's information together in a handy sheet, print-able for you. You can get a copy by using the button below:
