Why we HAVE to use the mind, body, and spirit approach Are you stuck doing tests but have a pattern of not following through? Sometimes we see too many practitioners and no progress is actually being made Another thing we see- using out of date testing It is equally important to focus on the right diet, stress reduction, etc. Supplements- do you know WHY you are taking the ones you are? 21:08- COMMON MISTAKE: GOING TO IVF TOO EARLY There are ALWAYS healing opportunities Many couples get stuck doing many IFVs When it doesn’t work there is a lot of strain- is there another way! “Before you go to IVF, figure out why it isn’t working naturally.” 24:50- COMMON MISTAKE: DOING IT ALL YOURSELF “Self-care is not selfish.” “This journey can pull you apart or pull you together.” 30:40- COMMON MISTAKE: NOT WORKING WITH A FERTILITY EXPERT “There are aspects that are unique to the fertility journey.” --- Sponsored by: BLUBlox (Sleep+ is the world’s most advanced blue and green light blocking glasses addressing the exact frequencies of light required after dark to optimally produce melatonin for restorative sleep and health) Visit BLUBlox website at: http://bit.ly/BLUBlox Use coupon code: getpregnantpodcast to receive 15% discount.

Why These Hidden Stressors Need to Be Addressed Before IVF
Welcome to day #3 of our Holiday Series. We’re digging into different stressors that impact fertility. You may feel like IVF is your next best chance of pregnancy success. But what we know from working with hundreds of couples on the fertility journey is that healing opportunities are always missed. As you may know, we specialize in low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and premature ovarian insufficiency. Often, before couples come to see us and start our Fab Fertile Method they have experienced failed cycles, canceled cycles, poor response during the IVF cycle, and miscarriage. Many times the same IVF protocol is used again and again and the result is heartbreaking. When we work with couples we address healing opportunities that conventional medicine has often missed and these are the key to pregnancy success. This episode is for you if: You don’t feel stressed but maybe you’re missing something that can help you optimize pregnancy success You feel very stressed and you’ve already made so many changes but wondering if there are other missed healing opportunities that can help fast track pregnancy success You’re thinking about IVF but the thought of the process fills you with apprehensive and stress but really want to get pregnant naturally so can optimize your health and have a healthy pregnancy In this episode you'll learn: 1) The different types of hidden stressors and why you need to address them before moving to IVF 2) Why including our partner is essential to your success 3) How to know when IVF is right for you so that you can optimize pregnancy success --- Book your Supercharge Your Fertility Discovery call here with your partner.
