How To Advocate For A Safer Birth When You Are TTC with Gina Mundy

April 01, 2024 07:00 - 42 minutes - 39.7 MB

We’re digging into safer childbirth and how to prepare for the birth of your baby. Years ago, when I had my children, no one was talking about doulas, midwives or how to advocate for yourself during childbirth. I remember taking a childbirth class and some Lamaze breathing with a coach, which was about it. I didn’t know that if I wasn’t happy with my care in the hospital, I could speak up. Fortunately for me, everything went well during the birth process for both my children (even th...

Weight Loss Hacks To Improve Pregnancy Success with Louise Digby

March 25, 2024 07:00 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MB

We’re digging into how to address weight loss as you prepare for pregnancy success. Losing weight is easier said than done. Like most people, you’ve probably tried A LOT of things to lose weight. Someone may even have told you that weight loss is necessary for you to conceive or move forward with IVF. We may even blame ourselves when nothing works and feel frustrated. But what if there were specific steps you could take now that didn’t involve calorie deprivation or working out all t...

March 18, 2024 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MB

We’re answering the top 5 questions I get about low AMH and/or high FSH. When you’re TTC, there can be a lot of worry and being overwhelmed about what to do next. I regularly get a lot of questions about where to start with low AMH and/or high FSH. After all, the top recommendation from your REI is to rush towards IVF. But what about the couple that experiences cancelled cycles, poor egg quality, abnormally tested embryos or implantation failure? This can be heartbreaking. Today,...

Why Your Preconception Health Is Vital For A Healthy Pregnancy and Postpartum Period with Dr. Labib Ghulmiyyah

March 11, 2024 07:00 - 50 minutes - 47 MB

We’re digging into how to improve preconception health when we are TTC. It feels like we need to rush to medicated cycles, IUI or IVF to fast-track the chances of having our baby. After all, this is what happens when we receive a diagnosis of low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency. At Fab Fertile, we're not anti-IVF; we’re pro-health. When we move prematurely to IVF, we miss crucial steps to work on our health. During the preconception peri...

What Biomarkers Are Needed To Determine When To Start IVF (Especially If You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH)

March 04, 2024 08:00 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MB

We’re digging into how to know if IVF is next step if you have low AMH and/or high FSH. What we see with low AMH/high FSH when a couple selects IVF (without making targeted diet/lifestyle changes) is cancelled cycles, poor response to medications, poor embryo quality, and miscarriages. This is financially and emotionally devastating. So what is the fast track to getting pregnant with low AMH and/or high FSH? The fast track is taking a targeted approach with your health. You’ll eith...

How To Improve Egg Health When You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH

February 26, 2024 08:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

We’re digging into how to improve egg health if you have low AMH and/or high FSH. Maybe you’ve been told you have poor egg quality. You may have experienced irregular menstrual cycles, poor fertilization rates, low AMH, high FSH, low levels of estradiol, chromosomal disorders and pregnancy loss. This may have sent you down a rabbit hole of information overload. After all, there is so much generalized information about how to improve egg quality. But what if there were specific step...

How These Proven Coping Strategies Can Help Navigate Pregnancy Loss

February 19, 2024 08:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MB

We’re digging into how to navigate pregnancy loss with a focus on mental and emotional well-being. Women still experience enormous stigma and shame when they lose a baby, and they are often not encouraged to talk about the loss. This can lead to isolation and disconnection from a partner, family and friends, as well as feeling trapped in grief. What are the signs of negative coping or even avoidance? And how do we cope with pregnancy loss when we are still trying to conceive? Our F...

How To Be Your Own Advocate With Pregnancy Loss

February 12, 2024 08:00 - 40 minutes - 38 MB

We're digging into medical jargon associated with pregnancy loss. Navigating the medical system during pregnancy loss can be overwhelming. That’s why we wanted to break down the medical jargon so you can be your own advocate. Also, you may notice that we use the term pregnancy loss instead of miscarriage. This is because you did nothing to miscarry your pregnancy. Pregnancy loss is not your fault. Let’s learn how to navigate the confusing medical jargon associated with pregnancy ...

How To Select The Right Supplements To Improve Low AMH and High FSH

February 05, 2024 08:00 - 39 minutes - 36.8 MB

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. You may think you’re saving money by getting your supplements on Amazon, but it is essential to prioritize safety and quality over convenience or price. Many supplements can actually harm our fertility. They can have fillers, binders, synthetic ingredients, dyes, preservatives and chemical additives. Also, many supplement...

How This At-Home Practice Can Help With Fertility and Vaginal Health with Luna Hart

January 29, 2024 08:00 - 41 minutes - 38.6 MB

We’re digging into yoni steaming and how this can help on your TTC journey. Vaginal steams, also known as V-steams or yoni steams, can be an essential part of your fertility toolkit. This technique can help with irregular cycles and painful periods. Plus, it can be helpful for painful intercourse and increasing libido. Let’s break down the steps you need to know to prepare the best vaginal steam so you can improve pregnancy success. I’m excited to welcome Luna Hart to the podcast. ...

Why Your Oral Microbiome Matters When You Are TTC with Dr Katie Lee

January 22, 2024 08:00 - 39 minutes - 36.9 MB

We're digging into why your dental health matters when you are TTC. The American Dental Association recommends seeing the dentist every six months or an average of twice annually. But it turns out about 25% of the population goes more than five years without visiting a dentist. A healthy oral microbiome is essential when you are trying to conceive. Periodontal disease can be linked to egg and sperm health and complications during pregnancy. Let’s discover how oral health may be linke...

Top Stressors Impacting Your Fertility

January 15, 2024 08:00 - 40 minutes - 38 MB

We're digging into how to recognize and address top stressors impacting AMH/FSH. We all know that life can be stressful, especially when we are TTC. But how is the stress impacting our ability to conceive? At Fab Fertile, our thesis is “Is it actually menopause, or is it your adrenals?” I know the low AMH and/or high FSH diagnosis can lock into our subconscious. It can make us feel even more stressed and unsure about a path forward. Many of us have negatively hypnotized ourselves...

The Personalized Proven Diet Steps To Improve Pregnancy Success In 2024

January 08, 2024 08:00 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MB

We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success. It’s a New Year; now is the perfect time to make diet changes to improve pregnancy success. A theme we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Gluten is off the charts on our client’s food sensitivity tests. Plus, the body identifies cross reactors with gluten as gluten and mounts an immune response. If your body is under attack (even by a seemingly healthy food), it wants to survive...

How To Be Your Own Advocate With Your Doctor To Improve Pregnancy Success with Jane Gleeson

December 25, 2023 08:00 - 45 minutes - 42.5 MB

We’re digging into what being your own advocate when you are TTC. I know we’re in an era that tells us to trust the doctors, but it’s essential to be your own advocate. Remember, you know your body best. Conventional medicine is very effective in addressing acute illness or injury. But, for chronic illness or disease, the approach is ineffective and falls short. It’s the pill for an ill approach. That has us going down a road of medication that never actually addresses why we can’t...

Spiritual Forecast for 2024 To Cultivate Hope and Pregnancy Success

December 18, 2023 08:00 - 41 minutes - 38.5 MB

We’re digging into how to cultivate hope when you have low AMH/high FSH. As we prepare for 2024, how do we cultivate hope for the New Year? This year may have been the year you planned to have your baby. Maybe you’ve been through failed IVF(s), cancelled cycles, been told you’re a poor responder or suffered pregnancy loss. It can be a difficult journey, and many times, we may even negatively hypnotize ourselves and not be able to see a positive path forward. But what if we could st...

How To Improve Pregnancy Success With Donor Eggs with Adele O'Connor

December 11, 2023 08:00 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MB

We’re digging into donor eggs and what you need to know if you’ve selected this option. As you may know, I had both my kids with donor eggs. I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) over 25 years ago. And 25 years later, in conventional medicine, the recommendation for POI is either to rush to IVF or go straight to donor eggs. What I know for sure is there are targeted steps we can take to improve pregnancy success with your eggs when we address underlying healing oppor...

How To Avoid These Top 10 Mistakes If You Have Low AMH/High FSH

December 04, 2023 08:00 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MB

We’re digging into how to improve pregnancy success in 2024 when you have low AMH and/or high FSH. As we come to the end of the year, I want you to have a plan for 2024 so that you can have your baby. I know firsthand how hard it can be when you receive a diagnosis of low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian reserve. That’s why I developed the Fab Fertile Method. I don’t want you to struggle as I did. I want you to have a proven plan that sets you u...

What Anemia Really Means For Low AMH/High FSH

November 27, 2023 08:00 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MB

We’re digging into iron panels and what you need to know when you are TTC. What we commonly see with low AMH/high FSH is iron deficiency. And it’s more than just taking an iron supplement. Because many people don’t absorb iron properly or have heavy periods and gut issues that negatively impact iron levels. Bottom line if you have amenorrhea, anovulation (the lack of ovulation), poor egg health, ovulatory disorder, and have experienced miscarriage its time to dig deeper into the full...

Beginner’s Guide to Going Toxin-Free When TTC with Anna Rapp

November 20, 2023 08:00 - 57 minutes - 53.4 MB

We are living in a toxic soup filled with chemicals. When we’re TTC, switching to non-toxic products is essential. We don’t recommend throwing everything out because that can cause more stress. As each product expires, you can replace it with a non-toxic option. Except for your feminine hygiene and fragrances  - swap those out immediately - hint: those pumpkin spice candles release harmful PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) associated with reproductive issues. Studies have lin...

Why Your Gut Microbiome Matters for Low AMH and High FSH

November 13, 2023 08:00 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MB

We’re digging into stool testing and what it means for fertility and low AMH/high FSH. When you are dealing with low AMH and or high FSH, the last place your REI will look is the health of your gut. The health of your gut is directly tied to the health of your ovaries. And if you have an infection, no amount of clean eating will matter. The infection needs to be addressed. It may be tempting to use an anti-parasitic or anti-fungal to address an infection, but that will wipe out all...

Why Low AMH/High FSH May Not Be Menopause - It Could Be This Instead

November 06, 2023 08:00 - 35 minutes - 33.3 MB

In this episode, we dig into navigating the holiday season with low AMH/high FSH. The fertility journey can be all-encompassing, and the holiday season can be challenging. Visiting friends and family and seeing coworkers who ask that intrusive and annoying question, “Do you have kids yet?” The pressure of the season may have you feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. So many of us have been on the TTC journey for years. The stress can start to sneak up on you, impacting your biochemistry. ...

How To Know If IVF Is Your Next Step When You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH

October 30, 2023 07:00 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MB

We’re digging into how to know if IVF is the next step if you have low AMH/high FSH. I know you’ve been told that IVF is the only way forward when you have low AMH and/or high FSH. You may have been told that time is of the essence and you need to rush to IVF. We are not anti-IVF. We are pro-health. You can’t skip working on health. I know you’ve already done a lot of work on your health. Most people have already tried naturally and made some generalized diet and lifestyle recomm...

Recovering From Chronic Illness and How To Boost Pregnancy Success with Allison Samon

October 23, 2023 07:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MB

We’re digging into recovering from chronic illness while TTC. The conventional medicine approach for dealing with chronic illness and autoimmune disease is to prescribe medication. This approach has us chasing symptoms and does not address the underlying cause. One of the themes we see with low AMH and high FSH is autoimmunity. One autoimmune disease will predispose you to another autoimmune disease. We see so many people who have a chronic illness or autoimmunity and have been refer...

Biggest Diet Mistakes with Low AMH or High FSH and How To Improve Pregnancy Success

October 16, 2023 07:00 - 32 minutes - 30.4 MB

We’re digging into common mistakes we make with diet for low AMH/high FSH. It can be confusing to know where to start to improve your diet when you have low AMH and/or high FSH. I know you’ve probably asked your OB/GYN or REI about the importance of diet, and they may have told you that diet might help, but it’s not an essential part of the equation. This may have you second-guessing what approach to take. I don’t want you to waste time making the wrong changes or give up on diet cha...

The Problem With Most Fertility Smoothies & How To Know Which Ingredients Matter with Anna Rapp

October 09, 2023 07:00 - 49 minutes - 46 MB

We’re digging into what everyone gets wrong about fertility smoothies. Eating the right foods when you are trying to conceive can be confusing. There is so much contradictory advice. At Fab Fertile, we believe in a personalized approach to nutrition. We have our clients start the elimination diet (it’s the gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity), and then we tweak the diet further with comprehensive food sensitivity testing. We’ve had people intolerant to fertility ...

Why Adrenal Insufficiency Can Be A Factor with Low AMH and High FSH

October 02, 2023 07:00 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MB

We’re digging into why addressing adrenal insufficiency matters when TTC. I can’t tell you how many people I speak with that have low AMH/high FSH that are: - Working more than 50 hours per week and dealing with a toxic workplace and/or demanding boss - Holding down a full-time job and in graduate school - Have experienced a traumatic event such as pregnancy loss or death in the family - Dealing with relationship struggles or estrangement with family members - Have tried unsucces...

How To Reduce The Risk of Miscarriage and Enhance Fertility By Eliminating Toxins with Rachel Varga

September 25, 2023 07:00 - 45 minutes - 42.3 MB

In this episode, we're digging into how to minimize toxin exposure while TTC. We are exposed to over 85,000 chemicals in our environment. Environmental working group scientists have identified dozens of studies published in the past five years that report the presence of PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, in cord blood. “The presence of these chemicals is also a threat to pregnant people, serving as first contacts with PFAS before they can pass from the uterus to t...

The Essential Nutrient Needed For Egg Quality (Especially If You Have DOR)

September 18, 2023 07:00 - 35 minutes - 33.2 MB

We’re digging into how to select your omegas as you prepare for your baby. Most of the population does not meet the recommended daily requirements for this essential nutrient. And it is needed for healthy egg and sperm quality. The nutrient helps with the following: Improve hormone production Assist with cervical mucous production Promote normal ovulation Aid in increasing circulation to the reproductive system Decrease FSH levels Increased pregnancy rates following IVF De...

Why Detoxes and Cleanses May Be Harming Your Fertility

September 11, 2023 07:00 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MB

We’re digging into why fertility cleanses/detoxes can harm fertility and what to do instead if you have low AMH/high FSH. Preparing your body for conception can be overwhelming and confusing. All these generalized recommendations may leave us wondering what to do next. We may think fertility cleanses or detoxes are a good first step. But what if the detox or cleanse caused unwanted side effects that actually harmed our fertility? Let’s learn how to support our detoxification pathwa...

How To Connect With Your Spirit Baby When You Have Low AMH/High FSH with Nancy Mae

September 04, 2023 07:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MB

We’re digging into how to connect with your spirit baby. Many times before couples work with us, they have experienced cancelled IVF cycles due to low follicle count, failed IVFs due to egg or embryo quality, or have been labelled a poor responder. I know firsthand how difficult it is to hear that you have a very small chance of conceiving naturally or that donor eggs are your only option. This information from a well-meaning reproductive endocrinologist can be embedded in your subcons...

Top Fertility Supplements You Need To Get Pregnant This Year

August 28, 2023 07:00 - 39 minutes - 36.8 MB

We’re digging into how to select the correct fertility supplements that can improve pregnancy success. I know you’re probably taking a lot of supplements right now. There are so many supplements on the market. It’s downright confusing to know which ones will help both egg and sperm health. That’s why I’ve compiled the top fertility supplements you need to take to improve pregnancy success this year. This is a comprehensive list that takes out the guesswork and confusion. This top l...

How To Release Generational Trauma As We Prepare For Parenthood Our Way

August 21, 2023 07:00 - 44 minutes - 41.4 MB

We’re digging into how to release generational trauma and prepare for parenting. Let’s face it: no one has experienced a perfect childhood. Whether you vow never to repeat how you were parented or you want to model how you were raised to your children. Getting clear about your intentions as you plan for your family is essential to start immediately. After all, prepping for a baby isn't just about parental leave, nurseries, and registries. These deep conversations often unlock hidde...

Why Optimizing Thyroid Matters For Low AMH, High FSH and Antral Follicle Count

August 14, 2023 07:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MB

We're digging into why thryoid health matters for low AMH/high FSH. Our Fab Fertile Method includes a deep dive into your health utilizing cutting-edge functional tests and addressing biochemical and mental-emotional stressors. A theme we see with primary ovarian insufficiency, diminished ovarian reserve, low AMH, and high FSH is thyroid dysfunction. And looking at the TSH is NOT the answer. I know you may have been told that our thyroid is normal, but something is being missed. Th...

How To Enjoy Fertility-Friendly Foods That Do Not Suck

August 07, 2023 07:00 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MB

We’re digging into tips for eating for fertility in the summer. Making dietary changes can be hard (especially during the summer). You may feel like putting off the changes until September. However, eating foods that nourish your body does not need to suck. And delaying making the changes only delays your chances of pregnancy success. What if we could take advantage of the bounty that summer produce offers us? This is not about eating a bunch of kale or sipping green juice. Fro...

The State of Women's Health Care in the US and Why This Matters For Fertility with Dr. Bill Chun

July 31, 2023 07:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

We’re digging into what to ask an OB/GYN when you are TTC. When we visit a conventional OG/GYN, we typically have a very short time to get our questions answered. It can be intimidating, confusing and emotional when trying to figure out why we struggle to conceive. Plus, medical gaslighting is real. You know your body best, not the person in the white coat. The conventional medical system is broken, and IVF is a big business. As part of our Fab Fertile Team, our medical cases rev...

Why The Health Of Your Gut Impacts Ovarian Function with Jackie Bowker

July 24, 2023 07:00 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MB

We’re digging into gut health and why this matters when you are TTC. Addressing gut health is key for anyone on the fertility journey (especially if you have low AMH and/or high FSH). So often we myopically focus on the AMH and FSH levels and forget about our health. If you are dealing with any digestive issues such as loose stools, constipation, burping, bloating and gas consider this a HUGE clue that there is an imbalance in your body. Even if you don’t have any digestive symptoms,...

Why This One Change Matters For Low AMH/High FSH

July 17, 2023 07:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

We're digging into why gluten matters if you have low AMH/high FSH. Most people with low AMH/high FSH have made some dietary changes. You’ve probably changed your diet. You may even have reduced gluten, and maybe you didn’t notice any difference in your health. If you have digestive symptoms after consuming gluten, consider yourself fortunate because you know for sure there is a correlation. But most of us don’t have digestive problems. Not everyone experiences bloating, burping, gas...

What Mood Swings, Sugar Cravings, Poor Sleep and Feeling Hangry Has To Do With Your Fertility

July 10, 2023 07:00 - 42 minutes - 39.6 MB

We’re digging into how to balance blood sugar when you are TTC. When I ask the question to women with low AMH/high FSH “Have you ever experienced mood swings, sugar cravings, poor sleep and feeling hangry?” It’s usually at least one but more likely all of the above. These symptoms (yes, they are symptoms of a greater imbalance in the body) can be why you may be experiencing irregular or absent periods and ovulation disorders. The good news is there’s a proven strategy to address thes...

What If Depression Was A KEY Factor With Struggling To Conceive

July 03, 2023 07:00 - 50 minutes - 47 MB

We’re digging into depression and the link to a fertility diagnosis. Many people have dealt with depression for years before they were even trying to conceive. Conventional medicine will give you a diagnosis and perhaps even medication, which many people take for years without digging deeper to figure out why it happened in the first place. The conversation around mental health is changing. But what if it’s not depression? The gut-brain connection is well-studied and documented. ...

The Ultimate Diet For Egg And Sperm Health

June 26, 2023 07:00 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MB

We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success. There are so many diets that claim to optimize egg and sperm health. And while one diet might work for someone, is it the right approach for you? Our bodies are all different. That’s why our Fab Fertile Method always starts with an elimination diet. It is the gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity, and we have BOTH partners do the elimination diet (it is not just about you changing your d...

How To Fix YOUR Sleep and Baby's When You Are Experiencing Secondary Fertility

June 19, 2023 07:00 - 50 minutes - 46.6 MB

We’re digging into secondary fertility and getting sleep with young children as you prepare to expand your family. Many couples have no problem conceiving their first child and then struggle to conceive their second. They may deal with low AMH, high FSH, DOR, or POI. We see this all the time (even when the first pregnancy was very easy). I’ve spoken with many women who tell me that they know that they need to sleep to get pregnant, but they are struggling to get their little one to bed...

Why Your Dental Routine Matters For Fertility and Pregnancy Success Outcomes

June 12, 2023 07:00 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MB

We’re digging into how to improve the oral microbiome and why this matters when TTC. We all know that brushing and flossing our teeth is a good daily habit, but what if our dental health was linked to our reproductive health? We talk a lot about how a healthy gut microbiome and vaginal microbiome are essential for anyone on the fertility journey, but what is the oral microbiome? Periodontal disease can be linked to egg and sperm health and complications during pregnancy. Let’s discov...

Proven Sleep Hacks That Optimize Reproductive Health and Banish Poor Sleep For Good

June 05, 2023 07:00 - 45 minutes - 42.5 MB

We’re digging into how to optimize sleep to improve fertility. Good sleep is the cornerstone of optimal fertility. However, so many of us are struggling with sleep. Whether it's falling asleep, waking up at night or feeling tired all day. And sleep aids are a bandaid and do not provide the restorative sleep needed for reproductive health. The good news is there are targeted strategies that help to improve your sleep. Sleep hygiene is imperative, but it’s more than a consistent bedt...

Essential Tests For Repeat Miscarriage and How To Be Your Own Advocate

May 29, 2023 07:00 - 56 minutes - 52.6 MB

We’re digging into repeat miscarriages and trying to conceive after loss. Many women suffer from miscarriages and repeat miscarriages. The devastating emotional toll it takes can be hard to endure. It’s a topic that’s still very taboo, and couples are even hesitant to tell close friends and family members that they are pregnant for fear of losing the baby and then having to explain the loss. When we experience a miscarriage, what we need most is support and understanding. Sometimes a...

How To Know When Or If To Use Bioidentical Hormones When TTC

May 22, 2023 07:00 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MB

We’re digging into bioidenticals and why this matters when you are TTC. When I was diagnosed with POF/POI at 28, I was told that I needed to get hormone replacement therapy right away to protect my bones, prevent osteoporosis, and protect my heart. So I took a synthetic form of hormone replacement therapy for years. Then, I discovered that the root cause of my infertility was food sensitivity, gut infection, and chronic stress. Many of my chronic health issues went away because I com...

How To Select The Right Prenatal When You Are TTC

May 15, 2023 07:00 - 47 minutes - 44.4 MB

We’re digging into how to select the right prenatal as you prepare for your baby. As we prepare for pregnancy success, a prenatal is an essential part of our fertility toolkit. However, not all prenatal supplements are created equal in terms of quality, nutrients, and delivery systems. There can be a lot of confusion, and buying a prenatal on Amazon is never a good idea. Should your prenatal have folic acid or methylfolate? Is iron really a good idea in a prenatal or can it lead to...

How To Address Men's Reproductive Health (It’s a myth sperm doesn't decline with age!)

May 08, 2023 07:00 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MB

We’re digging into male factor fertility diagnosis and how to optimize pregnancy success. Although we specialize in complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency, many couples are coming to us with both female and male factor infertility. The Fab Fertile Method effectively addresses both male and female fertility conditions. That is why we coach couples. It is not only about getting the female healthy for pregnancy – we must inc...

Healing the Womb: The Spiritual Side of Fertility with Carolina Sotomayor

May 01, 2023 07:00 - 44 minutes - 41.5 MB

We’re digging into how the womb holds emotions. Going through the fertility journey can bring up all kinds of emotions – sometimes all at once. Friends and family may not understand how you’re feeling. It’s not their fault. We need to educate those around us and surround ourselves with a support team. That’s why our Fab Fertile Method takes a mind, body and spirit approach to your fertility. Because although balancing the thyroid, optimizing blood sugar, personalizing diet and eradic...
