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’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 bedtime routine and sleeping in a clutter-free dark room. When we address the biochemical reasons why sleep is disordered in the first place, our sleep comes back online.   In today’s episode, you’ll learn: 1) Why sleep is essential for someone who is TTC 2) The link between adrenal insufficiency and sleep (i.e. if your cortisol is high before bed, you’ll have trouble falling asleep) 3) Blood sugar imbalance and why poor sleep impacts your blood sugar the entire next day (i.e. how to stop the vicious cycle) 4) Hormone imbalance and the impact on sleep 5) Supplement and diet/lifestyle strategies to optimize your sleep   --- 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.

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 simple, I am so sorry for your loss is enough. Please know that our Fab Fertile Method that can help with repeat miscarriage. Here are some factors and testing to consider if you have experienced miscarriage or repeat miscarriage. Today I’m excited to welcome Aimee Raupp, MS, Lac. Aimee is a renowned women’s health and fertility expert, celebrity acupuncturist & coach, and a best-selling author.   In today’s episode, you’ll learn: 1) Steps to take once you’re able to start trying again after a miscarriage 2) Common themes with repeat miscarriage 3) How to address infections, toxins, nutrient imbalance and more (and why this matters for repeat miscarriage) 4) Testing your doctor isn’t telling you about 5) Diet, supplement and emotional support tips   --- 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.

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 committed to diet and lifestyle changes. I stopped taking hormone replacement therapy because of the negative side effects of synthetic hormones. But I know I still needed support with my hormones. Enter bioidentical hormones. You may be wondering, “Can I use bioidenticals if I am TTC?" They can be a good addition to your fertility toolkit...but they need to be used at the right time (lifestyle changes need to be prioritized first before we take the hormones). Because bioidenticals alone are not the answer, but they can be part of the solution. I'm excited to welcome Dr. Daved Rosensweet. Dr. Rosensweet is the founder of The Menopause Method, creator of BRITE, creator of I Wonder, Doctor, and the author of Happy Healthy Hormones.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Why adding bioidentical hormones can be part of the TTC journey 2) The difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones 3) The final word on the controversy surrounding hormone replacement therapy and the increased risk of cancer (We discuss the 2009 study - he breaks it all down) 4) Mistakes we see with hormone replacement therapy and how you can avoid them   --- 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.

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 complications? What about Vitamin A (we discuss the studies) and should your prenatal contain iodine? So how do we know how to select the right prenatal?   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Why it is so important to ensure your prenatal has methylated folate rather than folic acid. (Plus, what you need to know if you have the MTHFR gene variant. Hint 60-80% of the population has it.) 2) How much choline we need when we are TTC 3) The importance of vitamin A during pregnancy (i.e. we discuss testing and why a vegan/vegetarian diet may require supplementation) 4) Does your prenatal contain iodine? Many of us that consume a Western diet and are deficient in iodine (i.e. required for thyroid production, which is essential for pregnancy success) 5) Why we don’t want iron in our prenatal (i.e. supplementing iron in an iron-sufficient or iron-overloaded person can lead to pre-term delivery, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, inflammation, and oxidative stress)   --- 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.

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 include the male partner to increase the chances of getting pregnant naturally. So whether there is poor semen count, low motility, DNA fragmentation or low morphology, there are always specific tips to improve male fertility. Remember, it is a myth that sperm does not decline with age.   In this episode, you'll learn about: 1) Functional reference ranges for the semen analysis to identify healing opportunities to achieve optimal fertility. We discuss count, motility, morphology, DNA fragmentation and more. (i.e. rushing to IVF is not the answer - in 70-80 days with targeted diet/lifestyle changes, we can see an enormous improvement in semen quality) 2) Diet/lifestyle and the impact on male fertility (i.e. the final word on alcohol) 3) Themes we see with male factor fertility 4) Environmental toxins and how to reduce exposure to improve male fertility 5) Supplement recommendations to optimize male fertility - Fab For Life Natural Fertility Collection https://fabfertile.com/collections/supplements --- 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/.    Legacy, the digital fertility clinic for men, allows you to test your sperm from home.

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 eradicating gut infections are essential for reproductive health, it’s equally important to acknowledge the chronic stress and emotional impact this journey has on our life. How can we start to process the grief, frustration, impatience and stuck emotions to see a positive path forward? And what if our womb was holding these stuck emotions? I’m excited to welcome Carolina Sotomayor. Carolina is a Fertility Reiki Womb Healer serving women trying to conceive.   In this episode, you’ll learn: 1) What makes the womb hold on to emotions, and how do we process grief? 2) How do stuck emotions impact us when we are TTC? 3) How Reiki helps to release and heal these stuck emotions --- 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/.    Legacy, the digital fertility clinic for men, allows you to test your sperm from home.

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. After all, the fertility industry pushes us towards aggressive IVFs, treatment after treatment, without considering the couple's health. At Fab Fertile, we are not anti-IVF. But moving towards another IVF or even selecting IVF in the first place without working on your health can backfire. We see many couples that have experienced multiple failed IVFs and are still told to keep going with another retrieval or transfer. But that thinking would be wrong. Because when we’re in fight or flight mode, the body wants to survive, not procreate. When I speak with couples that are TTC, I can see the panic, worry and overwhelm in their eyes. They tell me they feel powerless and hopeless. And the uncertainty can cause so much stress. I know firsthand how this feels. Taking control of your health puts you in the driver’s seat. You reduce the uncertainty and help to visualize a path forward. So how do we show our body that it’s safe to procreate? Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Elliot Berlin. Dr. Elliot is an award-winning prenatal chiropractor, childbirth educator, labour support bodyworker, and co-founder of Berlin Wellness Group in Los Angeles, California.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Which types of bodywork can help to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs 2) How to balance the autonomic nervous system so the body knows it is safe to procreate 3) Why panic and impatience with getting pregnant can hold you back and how to switch your mindset right now to visualize pregnancy success --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Connect with Dr. Elliot Berlin Website | DoctorBerlin.com https://www.doctorberlin.com/ Instagram @DoctorBerlin https://www.instagram.com/doctorberlin/   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.

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 That’s why it’s so important to figure out > How food impacts your reproductive health > Which foods to AVOID to reduce inflammation > Which foods to ADD to prepare for pregnancy success Remember: If your body is under attack, it wants to survive, not procreate. Once you’ve figured out the foods that are right for your body, you can personalize your diet so that you can improve your fertility. One of my favorite ways to do this is by starting an elimination diet: - Take out the TOP allergens for 10 days (gluten, dairy, corn, eggs, soy, peanuts, processed sugar and alcohol) - Systematically reintroduce the foods over the course of 30 days. This is a customized approach and you’ll know for sure how FOOD impacts your body. There’s never a perfect time however, you need to rip off the bandaid and START. ✅Get our free Fertilty Diet Guide (includes 5 day meal plan/grocery shopping list - all free from the TOP allergens).   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Is your infertility a symptom of something else going on in your body? (Hint – digestive issues, skin problems, mood problems, joint issues and autoimmunity are ALL clues) 2) What is leaky gut, and why this matters if you're TTC 3) Which foods to avoid and how to reintroduce them 4) Which foods you will eat (it's NOT about starving or drinking green juice) 5) How to commit and actually start 6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you --- 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/.    Legacy, the digital fertility clinic for men, allows you to test your sperm from home.

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 likely to experience recurrent implantation failure. Some men with fertility problems have low MTHFR function in their sperm. You can’t change your genes, but there is a lot you can do to support your nutrient levels, bypassing the MTHFR enzyme. These include lifestyle changes, dietary habits, and supplementation. Today I’m excited to welcome Ricardo Miranda. Ricardo is the CEO of MTHFRdoctors.com. He is a clinician and one of the top researchers in the field of MTHFR genetic mutation.   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) Why addressing MTHFR is essential when you are on the fertility journey (i.e. which supplement is essential and what so many people are still getting this wrong) 2) What studies tell us about MTHFR and optimal fertility 3) The link between miscarriage and MTHFR gene variant 4) Why testing blood homocysteine is crucial, and it’s still not a standard of care in conventional medicine 5) Specific diet and lifestyle strategies and exactly which markers to test --- 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!
