Get Pregnant Naturally

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...

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 diseas...

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...

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'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...

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...

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. Becau...

We're digging into bodywork and why this matters when you are TTC. I know you may feel panicked about getting pregnant and having your baby.

But moving towards another IVF or even selecting IVF in the first place without worki...

We're digging into how to know which diet is right for your fertility. POP QUIZ: What exactly makes a great diet to optimize fertility? - Keto? - Carnivore? - Paleo? - AIP? Truth is, it's none of the above. The most important factor is consuming the diet that is right for YOU ✅Because those diets may have worked for someone else, but ✅We're all DIFFERENT and that diet might not be right for YOU...

We're digging into the MTHFR gene variant and why this matters when you are TTC. You may have heard about the importance of getting tested for the MTHFR gene variant if you are trying to conceive. MTHFR variants are associated with difficult conception and early pregnancy loss due to problems with the endometrium and implantation. IVF studies have shown that women with MTHFR mutations are more lik...

We're digging into how to select the right probiotic to improve fertility. Probiotics seem to be everywhere.

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 imbalance...

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. Many supplements can actually harm our fertility. They can have fillers, binders, synthetic ingredients, dyes, preservatives and chemical additives. Also, many supplements contain top allergens like gluten, soy and dairy that can impede...

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...

We're digging into improving pregnancy success (even when you've been told donor eggs are your only hope). I know you want to have your baby this year. You've probably already done so much. It may feel like IVF is your only next step but pumping your body full of hormones without addressing preconception health for both partners only WASTES TIME. If you're not familiar with our Fab Fertile Method,...

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...

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...

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're digging into why focusing on mitochondrial health is essential for fertility. I know you may be taking supplements to improve your fertility. After all, diet and lifestyle changes alone are not enough to optimize reproductive health. Our Fab Fertile Method includes testing, and we develop a targeted protocol including foundational supplements and more. This is for a specific time, so you kno...

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...

We're digging into common mistakes we see on the fertility journey. I started the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast five (5) years ago on January 1, 2018. In the beginning, I recorded with audio only because the thought of doing video was too intimidating. I like to prepare my episodes beforehand, so I thought it would look weird if I were always referring to my notes. After recording 383 episodes of...
