We are big fans of NaProTechnology at Woven Well, because this unique approach investigates the root causes of reproductive health concerns like PCOS, PMS, Luteal Phase defect, and endometriosis. For many women, this restorative approach is all they need to finally get some answers and individualized care. But there are some who still have a "missing piece." This was how Dr. Melissa Weidert felt as she served a NaProTechnology OBGYN and surgeon. She loved NaPro, but knew she needed a complementary education to provide to some of her patients who still struggled. Now, she's opened her integrative health clinic and provides holistic reproductive care and fertility treatments to men and women. Utilizing hormonal panels, HTMA, bio resonance testing, mold and parasite investigation, and more, she seeks the root causes of reproductive health concerns and addresses them at their core. She joins us today to talk about this approach and how it serves men and women with reproductive health issues.
NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.
GUEST BIO:

We've all heard things about our fertility that we're shocked to later find out are FALSE! This seems to be especially true when it comes to trying to conceive myths or how to get pregnant myths. But how do we know they're not true? When you hear something over and over again, you tend to believe it... That's why we're doing a Fertility "Myth Buster" episode today to bust some of the most common myths about trying to get pregnant. Enjoy!
NOTE: This episode includes terminology like intercourse, sperm, seminal fluid, and related talk and may not be appropriate for all audiences.
Clarification: A statistic was given related to couples who successfully conceive using the Creighton System within the first 6 months. This specific statistic is related to those without any fertility or reproductive health issues. The other statistic, related to 80% of couples conceiving within the first year, is related to those with diagnosed fertility issues. Thanks!

In June 2024, a new bill was proposed called the RESTORE Act (or The Reproductive Empowerment and Support through Optimal Restoration Act). Politics aside, what does this bill say and could it be helpful for the real women facing reproductive health challenges in the United States? This episode reviews the goals of the bill and whether or not it could be helpful to women and couples. It wants to redefine the definition of infertility, change education for medical professionals, and study the impact of direct-to-women education. Are these helpful or hurtful? Let's explore together.
Here's a link to read the bill for yourself.
