Get Pregnant Naturally

We're digging into how acupuncture can help with diminished ovarian reserve. As you may know, we work to support couples with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency to get pregnant naturally or improve their chances of pregnancy success with their own eggs. When we address the stressors that impact fertility the body comes back into balance, which optimizes fertility. Acupuncture can support the body as we prepare for pregnancy success if we have diminished ovarian reserve.   Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Susan Fox to the podcast. Susan combines traditional Chinese Medicine with functional medicine.   In today’s episode you’ll learn: 1) Specific acupuncture points to help improve egg quality 2) How acupuncture supports follicle health 3) Diet and lifestyle recommendations for diminished ovarian reserve --- Resources Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/ Dr. Susan Fox’s Website https://DrSusanFox.com Email Dr. Susan Fox at susan@drsusanfox.com Get Pregnant Naturally | Related Episodes: 1) Episode 193: How To Get Pregnant Naturally With Low AMH/High FSH https://www.fabfertile.com/blog/how-to-get-pregnant-naturally-with-low-amh-high-fsh/ 2) Episode 330: Strategies To Help You For The New Year When You Have Low AMH/High FSH https://www.fabfertile.com/blog/strategies-to-help-you-for-the-new-year-when-you-have-low-amh-high-fsh/ --- Book your Supercharge Your Fertility Discovery call here with your partner (https://bit.ly/getpregnantpodcast) During our call, we’ll be discussing what you have tried so far and where you’ve faced challenges.

We're digging into how acupuncture can help improve fertility. Studies (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11937123) prove that using acupuncture pre and post-transfer increases the success of IVF.  We love acupuncture and recommend it to our clients. However, it is very important to select a practitioner who is experienced with infertility. Check out our blog here for more details about TCM and acupuncture: https://www.fabfertile.com/blog/traditional-chinese-medicine-and-acupunture-a-proven-method-for-improving-fertility/.   Today I'm excited to welcome Tsao-Lin Moy to the podcast. Tsao is the founder of Integrative Healing Arts which utilizes Chinese medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine and energy healing to treat patients.   In today's episode you'll learn: 1) How acupuncture helps with infertility. Specifically, we discuss egg quality, irregular periods, short luteal phase, PMS, male factor infertility (low motility, DNA fragmentation). 2) Qualifications to look for in a practitioner. Recommended frequency of treatment. How long treatment is recommended to prevent miscarriage. 3) How acupuncture helps reduce stress. --- Resources Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/ Tsao-Lin Moy’s Website https://www.integrativehealingarts.com/ Tsao-Lin Moy’s Book | Will I Ever Get Pregnant?: The Smart Woman's Guide to Get Pregnant Naturally Over 40 https://www.integrativehealingarts.com/book Tsao-Lin Moy on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/integrativehealingartsnyc/ Find Tsao-Lin Moy on Clubhouse @fertilityexpert --- Book your Supercharge Your Fertility Discovery call here with your partner (https://bit.ly/getpregnantpodcast) During our call, we’ll be discussing what you have tried so far and where you’ve faced challenges.

We’re digging into the AIP diet and what you need to know if you are TTC. We get a lot of questions about the AIP (autoimmune protocol) diet and if it is right for fertility. As you may know, we specialize with complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency. Most people who come to me are eating a “clean” diet. They’ve made the generalized recommendations for fertility but it’s still not working. We always suggest that both you and your partner start the elimination diet and then further tweak the diet with food sensitivity testing and then potentially an AIP diet if necessary. But what if you have an autoimmune disease should you consider the AIP diet? Some studies have found that 1/5 of the time premature ovarian insufficiency is actually tied to autoimmunity. We break down the exact steps to consider so that you don’t waste time on strategies that leave you further away from pregnancy success.   I'm excited to welcome Justine Altman back to the podcast. Justine is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success. Justine is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She was diagnosed with PCOS and struggled with infertility but after taking a functional approach was able to have both her children naturally.   In this episode you'll learn: 1) What is the AIP diet and when is it best used for someone with low AMH, high FSH and/or on the fertility journey 2) What the studies say about the AIP diet and autoimmune disease 3) The difference between paleo and AIP diet 4) What is the best duration for the AIP diet 5) How to reduce potential overwhelm with the AIP diet 6) What exactly do we eat and not eat on the AIP diet --- Resources Excited that our LIVE Fertility Diet Challenge is launching on January 24th.

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 problem for my health until years later. Looking back the symptoms were there – bloating, dark circles under my eyes (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. As you may know, we work with complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency/failure. We see a theme of non-celiac gluten sensitivity with food sensitivity tests coming back with gluten off the charts.   I'm excited to welcome Brandy Buskow back to the podcast. Brandy is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success. She is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Board Certified Functional Wellness Coach and Master EFT Practitioner. She loves supporting women so they can learn how functional medicine addresses the underlying cause of disease or illness.   In this episode you'll learn: 1) Why it is important to go gluten free when we are TTC. 2) Consuming gluten during pregnancy and the potential risks for the child 3) Difference between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity 4) 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 – visit https://www.fabfertilestore.com/ --- Resources Excited that our LIVE Fertility Diet Challenge is launching on January 24th.

We’re digging into how to move from the Standard American/Western Diet to a healthy diet for your fertility. Let’s face it, eating a diet that is right for our fertility is confusing. Whether it’s fertility superfoods, generalized recommendations about what to eat or avoid for optimized fertility… we may not know where to start. However, we all know that eating packaged processed foods is not healthy for anyone – especially if we are trying to conceive. Changing to a healthy preconception diet is not about deprivation or eating food that tastes like cardboard. It’s about finding the most nutrient-dense foods that actually taste good so that you can prepare for a successful pregnancy. And it's not a “diet” – it’s a lifestyle change that literally is life-changing – our clients tell us so! You have your WHY, so let’s get started.   I'm excited to welcome Justine Altman back to the podcast. Justine is part of my team here at Fab Fertile.

Justine is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She was diagnosed with PCOS and struggled with infertility but after taking a functional approach was able to have both her children naturally.   In this episode you'll learn: 1) How to make the change from the standard western diet to the healthy fertility diet/lifestyle 2) How to set your intention so you stay committed. These changes may be simple but they are not easy. 3) How to keep it simple without spending hours in the kitchen cooking. 4) What to look for on labels so you don’t eat the wrong foods. 5) What to do about emotional eating. How to deal with excuses or lack of motivation 6) Why it’s important to include your partner in the changes - Resources Excited that our LIVE Fertility Diet Challenge is launching on January 24th.

We’re digging into New Year’s resolutions and an action plan for 2022. Happy New Year! If you’re like me you probably set some resolutions or I prefer the term intentions. Here’s mine (I’m already doing many of these but I like to restate them because they are so important to me): - Yoga 2-3x/week - Meditate daily and/or visualization - Wear my castor oil pack to bed (hello best sleep ever!) - Try one new recipe per week. Love me some soup! (Real Plans app is my favourite) - Grant myself grace and compassion (daily)   Many of us set a resolution that is not realistic or is even in alignment with our highest self. The average person gives up their new year’s resolution by January 19th. I know you’re thinking “I’m a type-A, action taker and a doer by nature – I’ll push through”. But what if you’re doing things that actually set you back – instead of optimizing your fertility. I want to make sure that you don’t waste time in 2022 doing the wrong things that don’t get you closer to your goal of having your baby.   In this episode you’ll learn: 1) How to stop wasting time and fast track pregnancy success (hint: it’s not about consuming the latest fertility superfoods or starting fad diets) 2) Why focusing on the basics shifts the needle faster 3) This one theme we see with couples and how it can strain your relationship --- Resources Fab Fertile Method - https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/ Get Pregnant Naturally | Episode 153: What You Need To Know About The Elimination Diet If You Are TTC - https://www.fabfertile.com/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-elimination-diet-if-you-are-ttc/ --- Book your Supercharge Your Fertility Discovery call here with your partner (https://bit.ly/getpregnantpodcast) During our call, we’ll be discussing what you have tried so far and where you’ve faced challenges.
