Get Pregnant Naturally

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 hidden fears and blocks you may not have even noticed your subconscious was holding on to. So, how do we have an honest conversation with our partner about how we want to parent?   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) How to start a conversation about how you want to parent. 2) Questions to consider include: How will you handle discipline? How do you want to raise this child? Do you have any triggers from your one childhood you DON'T want to bring forward? 3) Tools to help with the hard conversations and strategies to assist (i.e. journaling, therapy, EMDR, etc.). --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   Top Fertility Supplements You Need To Get Pregnant This Year - send an email to hello@fabfertile.ca to get your free guide   Get professional-grade supplements designed to support reproductive health for men and women.

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. Thyroid dysfunction can result in: · Anovulatory cycles · Menstrual irregularities or heavy bleeding · Low libido · Luteal phase defects · High prolactin · Sex hormone imbalances · Reduced DHEA, which may cause hormone imbalances and low sex hormone levels · Failure to sustain a fertilized egg · Low antral follicle count (AFC) · Low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a measure of ovarian reserve · High follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) · Early pregnancy loss (

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. From quick dips/pestos to protein-rich smoothies and barbeque-ready meats/fish, we discuss how you can nourish your body now without feeling deprived or hungry. Caitlin Townsend is part of my team at Fab Fertile. She is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner as well as a Chef trained at The Culinary Institute of America.   In this episode, you'll learn about: 1) A smoothie recipe that’s packed with fertility-friendly protein/fats 2) Eating based on the season and how to incorporate more variety 3) How to select foods that are good for your digestion 4) Quick 3-4 ingredient recipe ideas for dips/pestos 5) How to use herbs to make your summer BBQ meat/fish more flavourful 6) An easy mocktail recipe that improves digestive health (i.e. gut health is key for ovarian function) --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   I'm excited to announce the launch of our Fab For Life Naturals Fertility Collection!

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 reviewer is an OB/GYN with training in functional medicine. Conventional OB/GYNs are trained to perform surgeries, not look for the root cause. Functional medicine allows us to look at the different systems in the body and see where there is an imbalance. When this imbalance is addressed, the reproductive system comes back online. Let’s see some steps you can take right now to be your own advocate. Today, I’m welcoming Byungyol Chun to the podcasts. Dr. Chun is an experienced OB/GYN talking about what's wrong with women's healthcare in the US. In this episode, you'll learn: 1) What is regularly missed in the OB/GYN’s office (i.e. the question that is not asked that makes the biggest difference about your reproductive health) 2) The business of IVF and how to be your own advocate (i.e. how to avoid medical gaslighting) 3) The business of birth and how to reduce C-sections, epidurals, and improve Apgar scores for baby 4) What every couple should have access to as they prepare for their baby   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Connect with Dr. Bill Chun Dr. Bill Chun’s Website | BillChunMD.com https://www.billchunmd.com/ Dr. Bill Chun on Instagram @BillChunMD https://www.instagram.com/billchunmd/     I'm excited to announce the launch of our Fab For Life Naturals Fertility Collection!

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, you could still have gut issues (we see this all the time). You may have perfect digestion, but perhaps you are dealing with joint pain, mood imbalances, skin issues, or autoimmunity. As part of our Fab Fertile Method, we always recommend a stool test. For women with low AMH and/or high FSH, we see a theme of parasites, bacterial infections, and fungal infections. These nasty critters are wreaking havoc on the body. When the body is under attack, it wants to survive, not procreate. So, how do we optimize gut health so that you can improve pregnancy success? Today, I'm welcoming Jackie Bowker to the podcast. Jackie is an award-winning functional nutritionist, gut expert, speaker, and podcaster.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Why gut health matters for fertility (especially for low AMH/high FSH) 2) The correction between gut health and thyroid dysfunction 3) Signs of leaky gut and potential gut infections 4) Diet and lifestyle strategies to improve gut health to improve pregnancy outcomes   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Connect with Jackie Bowker Jackie Bowker’s Free Recipe eBook https://feelbetterinstitute.com/freebie Jackie Bowker’s Website | FeelBetterInstitute.com https://feelbetterinstitute.com/ Jackie Bowker on Instagram @JackieBowker https://www.instagram.com/jackiebowker/   I'm excited to announce the launch of our Fab For Life Naturals Fertility Collection!

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, constipation and/or diarrhea with gluten. There are other health complaints that we may experience that are common but definitely not normal. As you may know, I was diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency at 28 and had both my kids with donors' eggs. Much 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 (an indicator of food sensitivity), acne, dizziness, mood swings, keratosis pilaris (also known as chicken skin on the back of my arms – exfoliation didn’t help), and of course infertility. We specialize in low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and primary ovarian insufficiency. A customized diet is essential, and determining if gluten needs to go is one of the first places we start.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Why it is important to go gluten-free when we are TTC 2) The problem with consuming gluten during pregnancy and the potential risks for the child 3) The difference between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity 4) The connection between autoimmune diseases and gluten i.e. Hashimoto’s and irritable bowel disease 5) Best test for gluten sensitivity 6) Supplements to help with gluten exposure --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   I'm excited to announce the launch of our Fab For Life Naturals Fertility Collection!

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 these symptoms so that you can improve pregnancy success.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) What insulin resistance is and why it matters if we are trying to conceive 2) How to test blood sugar and when to test 3) What it means for our fertility when we experience sugar cravings, mood swings, poor sleep and that "hangry" feeling 4) How stress and sleep impact blood sugar 5) What high and low blood sugar means for fertility and health 6) How to balance blood sugar and the best diet to regulate our blood sugar --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Get your free copy of our Summer Fertility Recipe Guide (includes 5-day meal plan/grocery shopping list, all free from the TOP allergens) at https://www.fertilitydietfreebie.com/.    I'm excited to introduce you to the Inito fertility monitor, an easy, at-home fertility tracker that tells you when you're the most fertile by measuring estrogen and LH and confirms if you’ve actually ovulated by measuring progesterone.

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. This is a red flag and a missed healing opportunity if you have low AMH/high FSH, DOR/POI or are on the fertility journey. If you are dealing with depression and/or anxiety, let’s get to the root cause to improve pregnancy success. Today I'm welcoming Dr. Achina Stein. Dr. Stein is an Amazon international bestselling author of "What If It's NOT Depression? Your Guide to Finding Answers and Solutions", a certified practitioner of the Institute for Functional Medicine and a board-certified psychiatrist.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) The difference between situation and clinical depression 2) Antidepressants and if and why it is appropriate to taper off medication 3) The mind-gut connection.

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 diet). It takes two to have a baby! While the majority of couples that I speak with tell me they are eating a “clean” diet, most have not done the elimination diet. Food sensitivity is a stressor on the body and must be addressed (we see so many people get this wrong). If your body is mounting an immune response to your favourite foods, this causes inflammation. When your body is under attack from seemingly healthy foods (or even not-so-healthy foods), it wants to survive, not to procreate. Figuring out the diet that is RIGHT for you is essential when you are trying to conceive. And yes, we see AMH improve, FSH decrease, and sperm parameters get better after making targeted diet changes. But we have to rip off the bandaid, pick a date and start. --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Get your free copy of our Summer Fertility Recipe Guide (includes 5-day meal plan/grocery shopping list, all free from the TOP allergens) at https://www.fertilitydietfreebie.com/.    I'm excited to introduce you to the Inito fertility monitor, an easy, at-home fertility tracker that tells you when you're the most fertile by measuring estrogen and LH and confirms if you’ve actually ovulated by measuring progesterone.

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. We could be doing all the right things for our sleep, but our little one is not sleeping through the night or we are caught in a co-sleep situation that no longer serves us. This episode has a trigger alert as we are digging into the exact steps to help your baby/toddler get a restful night's sleep so that you can sleep too. Optimal sleep is key for our reproductive health. Today I’m welcoming Kim West to the podcast. Kim is a Clinical Social Worker (which is a child and family therapist) for over 25 years. Known as The Sleep Lady® by her clients, she has personally helped over 20,000 tired parents all over the world get a good night’s sleep without letting their children cry it out alone.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Unique sleep issues for 5-12 months and 12- 2.5 years 2) The best sleep schedule for baby and toddler (ie, how many naps do they really need – the answer may surprise you) 3) Final word on co-sleeping and how to know if its right for your family 4) Sleep regression (ie, sleeping through the night and now having a hard time falling asleep or up very early)   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Get your free copy of our Spring Fertility Recipe Guide (includes 5-day meal plan/grocery shopping list, all free from the TOP allergens) at https://www.fertilitydietfreebie.com/.    I'm excited to introduce you to the Inito fertility monitor, an easy, at-home fertility tracker that tells you when you're the most fertile by measuring estrogen and LH and confirms if you’ve actually ovulated by measuring progesterone.
