Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. In this Win Wednesday episode host Caitlin Johnson and Sophia Pavia speak with Sara on working with Sophia not once but twice in her trying to conceive journey. Sara worked with Sophia in two different ways. She first reached out to Sophia after she was told by her reproductive endocrinologist that she would need to try IUI and letrozole to conceive. Sara described wanting to look deeper into her fertility which led her to Sophia's podcast, instagram account and later her course.  After completing Sophia's course Sara incorporated different eating habits, different exercise habits and all around lifestyle changes like swapping out cleaning products, changing the type of pots and pans used in the kitchen and more. Sara said she was ready to reach back out to her reproductive endocrinologist once her cycle arrived but it never did. Meaning, Sara got pregnant in the wild after taking Sophia's course!  Sara talks about working with Sophia again after her son was born and instead choosing to do the group coaching course Sophia offers. This episode is full of helpful tips, information and insight on what worked for Sara to get pregnant, stay pregnant and deliver a healthy baby!

Welcome to the last episode of season 3 of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Hosts Caitlin Johnson and Sophia Pavia speak with Ryann Kipping about prenatal nutrition!  Ryann has helped hundreds of women escape confusing and outdated nutrition information to find a happy, feel-good pregnancy. She believes the old advice to "take a prenatal vitamin" is not enough and if there is any time in your life to make nutrition a priority, it’s now. Eating for two people is different than eating for one. Appetite changes, intense cravings, morning sickness, and heartburn come in waves and you’re forced to lean into your bodies cues like never before. During pregnancy, you have to eat intentionally and Ryann is here to make it easy for you. She has done all the research, so you don’t have to spend another minute debating your every bite. Having the “pregnancy glow” is great and all, but feeling that glow (confidence, nourishment, and energy) on the inside is what matters the most. This episode has useful information on trying to conceive, working with Ryann, debunking outdated nutrition information and more! Thank you to our Season 3 Sponsors.

Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson speaks with Michelle Oravitz on acupuncture and infertility care. Michelle Oravitz, began her career as an architect upon graduating from Philadelphia University. After many years of experiencing missed periods and enduring stress at her high demand job in NYC, she decided to go to an acupuncturist named Dr. Li who immediately regulated her cycle. What she didn’t realize was that her life would take a drastic turn in ways that she couldn’t imagine. Not only did her symptoms resolve, but she also felt a renewed sense of well being and clarity. She was unable to recognize just how disharmonious she felt until she experienced a new sense of well being that arose from her treatments. After many years working as an architect, Michelle dreamed of going back to school to learn alternative medicine. When moving to South Florida, she enrolled in an Ayurvedic school which gave her tremendous knowledge about this ancient and rich healing approach. After starting a family, she began researching acupuncture schools in order to expand her healing education with the hope that when her kids began school, she would enroll. She worked from home as a professional artist during her children's early years and when the time was right, she enrolled into school to get her master’s degree in Oriental Medicine. She infused her passion into her studies and graduated Summa Cum Laude and valedictorian of her class. Michelle has a profound desire to heal. She views healing as an immensely sacred act that is a honor and a privilege. Her mission is to bring wellness into the world one being at a time. To aid in the healing process with a hope of not only resolving symptoms, but also returning individuals to their natural state of wellbeing. Michelle believes that if she had not gone to a TCM doctor, she probably would have had a hard time getting pregnant with her two children. This has influenced her to develop a special interest in treating gynecological disorders and infertility. Michelle hosts ‘The Wholesome Fertility Podcast’ where she provides fertility tips and interviews leading fertility professionals. This episode has useful information on trying to conceive, working with Michelle, finding the root cause of your infertility and more! Thank you to our Season 3 Sponsors.
