We’re digging into how to choose the right Vitamin D as you prepare for your baby. Over 1 billion people are deficient in this essential hormone. It is so important for immune function, bone health, inflammation reduction and much more. Vitamin D also plays a crucial role in fertility for both men and women. When you are low in this hormone, the re…

We’re digging into how to select your omega as you prepare for your baby. What if there was something that could help 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 Also, for the male partner - Incre…

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…

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 all…

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 superpowe…

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. I…

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 …

We’re digging into what you can do to optimize your fertility if you have PCOS. I know firsthand how focusing on your fertility diagnosis can seem all-consuming, and IVF may feel like the only solution. We are not anti-IVF. However, after working with hundreds of clients for the last eight years, we know that optimizing your health dramatically imp…

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, b…

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…

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…

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 o…

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 refe…

We’re digging into why these symptoms matter when you are TTC. Many times we get myopically focused on egg health and miss all the other symptoms that may be contributing to our fertility diagnosis. Our body wants to procreate, but right now, it may be under attack by seemingly healthy foods, gut infections, environmental toxins and more. We can re…

We’re digging into the research on how to manage stress with heart rate variability. We all know that stress matters when we are TTC. But how do we quickly identify and address the stressors in our lives? Right now, you may be meditating, visualizing, practicing breathwork, doing yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, acupuncture and more to reduce s…

We’re digging into identifying and recovering from burnout when you are on the fertility journey. Chronic stress and burnout can sneak up on us, especially when we are in the middle of a struggle. The fertility journey can impact our lives, including social interactions, relationships, careers, joy and intimacy. You may be feeling overwhelmed with …

We’re digging into why eating liver can help when you are TTC. I remember my mom frying up liver on the stove when I was a kid (she would now cringe at this because she’s been a vegan for 35 years!). The smell made me gag, and I would run and hide in the other room so I didn’t have to eat it. I recently tried it again, sautéed with onions and spice…

We’re digging into how to navigate the holiday season when we’re on the fertility journey. The holiday season can be filled with triggers and well-meaning (but clueless people) asking, “When will you start a family?” or “Are you pregnant yet?” How do we handle an invitation we don’t want to attend? Or what about the person that posts a steady strea…

We’re digging into why quitting your job may be your next step when you are TTC. Working on your mental health and reducing stress is a common recommendation when trying to conceive. And sometimes this can be easier said than done. If you could reduce stress by yourself, you already would have done it. A main source of stress can be the job. Whethe…

We’re digging into common mistakes we see on the fertility journey. As we come to the end of the year, I want you to have a plan for 2023 so that you can have your baby. I know you may have made many diet/lifestyle changes already. You may have experienced failed IVF cycles, been labeled a poor responder, or been told that donor eggs are your only …

We’re digging into how to improve liver health and what you need to know when you are TTC. We’ve all heard of a liver cleanse or detox and how important it is to have an optimally functioning liver. Think of cayenne-infused lemon water, consuming apple juice with olive oil and Epsom salts. However, before you start preparing these concoctions, they…

We’re digging into the hyperactive thyroid and Graves’ disease and what this means when TTC. One of the main themes we see with low AMH and or high FSH is thyroid dysfunction. You may have been told your TSH is normal, but no one has run a full thyroid panel. Or you are currently taking thyroid medication, but you had no idea there were targeted li…

We’re digging into at-home semen testing and why this can help when TTC. Although we specialize in complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and premature ovarian insufficiency, more couples are coming to us with both female and male factor infertility. The Fab Fertile Method is effective at addressing both male and femal…

We’re digging into iron panels and what you need to know when you are TTC. So many of us may be experiencing amenorrhea, anovulation (the lack of ovulation), poor egg health, ovulatory disorder, and miscarriage, but has anyone checked the full iron panel? Iron deficiency or anemia can be a sign to dig deeper when trying to conceive. Whether you are…

We’re digging into the energetics of miscarriage and how to begin healing when you are TTC. The fertility journey can leave us feeling anxious, impatient, frustrated, and sad, and it can bring out our inner control freak. It can also bring us to our knees if we’ve experienced miscarriage, pregnancy loss or stillbirth. How do we trust that the unive…
