I'm Sarah Clark, Founder of Fab Fertile Inc. and your host. Today a member of the Fab Fertile team joins me - Dr. Tabatha Barber. Dr. Tabatha is triple board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, menopause, and functional medicine.

Today we're digging into what to do next if you’ve made diet and lifestyle changes and it's still not working. Let’s talk about how to fast-track pregnancy success when you have already made diet and lifestyle changes. So many times we doubt that these changes are even helping us – because if they were we’d already be pregnant. But what if you were on the right track but there were a few targeted changes that would make all the difference with your fertility journey. It can be tough trying to figure this out on your own. That’s why I want to give you an action plan so you can get pregnant naturally or improve pregnancy success with your own eggs. This episode is for you if you: Want a proven plan to improve your chances of pregnancy success Want to fast track your chances so you don’t waste time on strategies that don’t work Want to work on your health and get pregnant naturally or improve pregnancy success with your own eggs. In this episode you'll learn: 1) How to improve pregnancy success with low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian reserve 2) How a personalized approach prevents wasted time so you can follow a proven plan and optimize your fertility. 3) Why comparison can be a slippery slope and how to focus on a PLAN that is right for you and your partner so you can get pregnant naturally or improve pregnancy success with your own eggs ---- TIMESTAMPS: 05:50- INTRO TO TODAY'S EPISODE AND WHO IT IS FOR 06:22- WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU HAVE MADE THE CHANGES AND IT DOESN'T WORK? Preparing for the holidays and the grief that accompanies it Acknowledge the strain and stress of what you have gone through Chronic stress, being disconnected from your body, and burnout “Honor where you are and all the things you have already done.” Getting caught in the comparison game and answering the question “are you pregnant yet?” 11:00- A PROVEN PLAN AS WE ENTER INTO THE HOLIDAY SEASON Getting caught in too much research and the pressure we put on ourselves Getting ready to receive, asking for help, and knowing when you need help 12:50- APPLYING FOR A STRATEGY SESSION AND WHAT TO EXPECT How to know if you are a fit for one of our calls What to expect on the call, benefits of call, etc Following a plan, while still being in a receiving mode “There are always things you can do to optimize your health.” Our method: All eyes on a case to optimize your chances “There are always things your partner can do to optimize pregnancy success.” --- Book your Supercharge Your Fertility Discovery call here with your partner.

Today Sarah Clark and Brandy Buskow are 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 donors' eggs. Years later I discovered food sensitivities, gut infections, and chronic stress 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. 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 fabfertilestore.com - https://www.fabfertilestore.com/ Gluten and Intestinal Permeability - Study - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4377866/ Excited that our LIVE Fertility Diet Challenge is launching on Nov 8th.
