We’re digging into CoQ10 and how it can help with fertility. Before discovering the power of nutrition and targeted supplements, the only vitamins I had taken were Flintstone vitamins (yep, the ones filled with dyes and sugar). I thought I only needed daily vitamins if I was deficient in something. Turns out, there are vitamins and minerals that we simply can’t get from food. Nutritional imbalances can cause many symptoms that we don’t recognize as being from a vitamin or mineral deficiency. Optimizing your health prior to conception is essential. What if there was something you could do to su ..read more

We’re digging into how to select the correct fertility supplements. Figuring out which supplements to take to optimize fertility may have you feeling overwhelmed.

Also, many supplements contain top allergens like gluten, soy and dairy that can impede the chances of pregnancy success. So what are the foundational supplements for fertility, and how do we select a product that is right for us?   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) Foundational sup ..read more

We’re digging into why addressing adrenal dysfunction matters when TTC. As I write this late in the evening, making sure I don’t miss my podcast deadline, I’m reminded that I used to push myself to the limits ALL the time. I consider myself dependable, loyal, honest and someone who gets stuff done. But getting stuff done (although it’s my superpower) has also compromised my health. I pushed myself too much and didn’t listen to my body. I was diagnosed with POI over 25 years ago, and the conventional medicine approach still tells us donor eggs are our only option and to get hormone replacement ..read more

We’re digging into how to know if IVF is your next best step to improve your chances of pregnancy success. I know firsthand what it’s like to be told that IVF is your only option to have children. In my case, I was diagnosed with POI/POF at 28 and told that I could only have children with donor eggs. I know that IVF can feel like your next logical step. You probably feel like you’ve already tried everything. I know that when I dreamed of having my family – it certainly wasn’t with IVF. And although IVF can be successful – with an average 30% success rate – what about the couple that has 1,2,3 ..read more

We’re digging into eczema and why this matters when you are TTC. I had eczema when I was a baby, and then it flared up in my teens. I remember having itchy eyelids, my lips were allergic to every type of lip balm (they were always cracked and dry), and the skin folds of my arms were red and raw from all my scratching. I tried every type of cream, but nothing helped. I used hydrocortisone cream for years and saw many dermatologists, but no one could figure out why I had eczema. As you may know, I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency at 28. Fast forward to working on my health. My ..read more

We’re digging into how and why addressing stress with the HeartMath methodology can help when TTC. Like many of you, I stopped setting new year’s resolutions and instead focus on intentions. Daily practices are so foundational for my sanity. Such as having a good sleep, getting outside once a day, eating food that makes me feel great and talking to friends or family members. But what happens when we still feel stressed? Because life is busy and stress IS part of the equation. I know I’m stressed when I get too serious, am easily angered or feel super impatient. I know you want to have your bab ..read more

We’re digging into why gluten matters if you are TTC. I get this question all the time, “Should I go gluten free if I’m trying to conceive?” As you may know, I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency at 28 and had both my kids with donor eggs. Years later I discovered food sensitivities, gut infections and chronic stress were the cause of my infertility. I had no idea that gluten was a problem for my health until years later. Looking back the symptoms were there – bloating, dark circles under my eyes (indicator of food sensitivity), acne, dizziness, mood swings, keratosis pilaris (a ..read more
