What I Wish I Knew When I Was TTC
Julie Davey and Kari Koody joined us today we’re digging into what we wish we knew when we were TTC. Julie is a Christian, wife, and mom of twins. She is also a nurse practitioner and natural health educator with over 20 years of experience in healthcare. She received her undergraduate degree from the Medical College of Georgia and graduate degree from Emory University. She has been caring for patients in the area of cardiovascular medicine for over 20 years. Julie also holds a faculty position at Emory University educating future nurse practitioners. Kari just knew she loved to serve others, especially in healthcare, so she went to pharmacy school. With the best intentions, she set out in the working world. She soon realized, this system was really broken! And she wanted to be part of the solution, not the problem. She had her first child, a little girl, and that really set a fire in her to do things a little different than the norm. Her searching lead to bringing essential oils into their lives.

How to Deal with Infertility and Depression
Dr. Rebecca Hern joins us today as we're digging into depression and the link to infertility. Dr. Hern is a licensed, clinical psychologist who works in private practice in St. Paul, Minnesota. She completed her doctorate in clinical psychology in 2014 at the Minnesota School of Professional Psychology, after having completed a 2,000-hour APA-accredited internship at Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. She went on to complete her Postdoctoral Residency at Hazelden Betty Ford and has continued to work in the field of addiction since that time. Given the high rates of co-occurring disorders with addiction and the relational impact of addictive disorders, Dr. Hern has gained expertise in treating and educating others about a wide spectrum of experiences. In particular, the high correlation between addiction and trauma has led her to become specially trained in EMDR therapy, which has been demonstrated to effectively and rapidly address trauma, depression, anxiety, and numerous other mental health concerns. She has come to appreciate the importance of understanding presenting concerns from a functional perspective, and not just treating symptoms, but understanding and addressing the underlying roots. This often involves assisting people with compassionately looking at the evolution of their symptoms over time, and the role of cultural, relational, trauma, medical, nutritional, and spiritual factors. Clients often share that they appreciate being able to dig deeper in understanding themselves in their work with Dr. Hern. You can connect with Dr. Hern on Instagram at @dr.rebeccalynn, where she shares some of her key insights and knowledge acquired through her work as a clinical psychologist.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and How It Can Improve Fertility
Michelle Oravitz joins us today as we're digging into how TCM works to help fertility. Michelle Oravitz is a fertility acupuncturist who decided to change her career from architecture to natural medicine in the early 2000s. It was not until her life was transformed by acupuncture, that she thought of changing her career from architecture to natural medicine. Michelle suffered from missed periods from the time she was thirteen. After years of being prescribed the birth control pill by Western medicine doctors and then coming off the pill to continued missed periods, she decided to go to an acupuncturist named Dr. Li who immediately regulated her cycle. Michelle also noticed that the acupuncture created a sense of wellbeing and that her energy increased. It was this transforming event that inspired her to learn Ayurveda and later Traditional Chinese Medicine. She also realized that had it not been for Dr. Li, she would have struggled for many years to get pregnant. This realization and a natural fascination to learn about fertility drew her to specialize in fertility wellness. She is passionate about empowering women and couples to take ownership of their health and wellness. Her method of treatment encompasses not only herbs and acupuncture, but also incorporates diet, supplements, essential oils, and most importantly the mind and how it influences conception. Michelle is the host of ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’ where she features leading professionals from the fertility world along with her own fertility wellness tips to her listeners.
