Dr. Piper Gibson joins us today as we’re digging into how testing genetics can improve the chances of pregnancy success. As the saying goes, “genetics load the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger”. Unlike our genetic makeup, we do have some measure of control of what we bring into our lives. Such as what we eat, how much we sleep, when we move, our exposure to environmental toxins, mental-emotional stress, and more. Our Fab Fertile Method emphasizes individualized science-based testing. No more guessing. Which fast tracks pregnancy success with your own eggs. One of the tests we have access to and is included in the program is a genetics test. Many of you may have had genetic testing with your physician. This genetic testing is different and provides us with specific gene variants in both a female and male panel. This information is then used to personalize targeted nutrition and lifestyle plan that pinpoints specific areas that conventional medicine may have missed so that you can get pregnant naturally. Today on the podcast I’m excited to welcome Dr. Piper Gibson, Doctor of Advanced Holistic Nutrition and is a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine. She is the Corporate Clinical Educator at GX Sciences. In this episode you'll learn: 1) Why reviewing your genetics can identify specific diet and lifestyle factors that stop wasted time (i.e. what are you predisposed to and how do you minimize your risk) 2) Why the tests from ancestry or 23andme may not give you the simple actionable steps that are needed to fast-track pregnancy success. 3) Why genetics testing can help with adherence (i.e. if you know you have a propensity for insulin resistance or thyroid imbalance for example - how do you prevent disease/illness – which ultimately improves fertility ---- This can feel stressful but is designed to help us get to the root cause of your fertility issues and will help me to give you the best possible action plan at the end of the call.

TABATHA BARBER’S INITIAL RESPONSE  What the uterine line is (and why it matters!) Go to recommendations for improving it "The key is to get the menstrual cycle where it needs to be at." "Your estrogen and progesterone production changes every month." Why do a lot of women have a dysfunctional lining (is there anything you can do?) Try to figure out what is going on. Is it hormonal? Is it physical? Is it an immune infection? Where is this coming from? Dig deeper and find the underlying issue. How recommendations are evolving and previous conventional recommendations were found to be harmful to the uterine lining --- Sponsored by Fab Fertile Store.
