- 450 - Why Getting To The Bottom of Your Anxiety Can Optimize Fertility and Improve Pregnancy Success with Dr. Traci Potterf
We’re digging into anxiety and how this impacts reproductive health.
A theme we see with low AMH and high FSH is mood problems such as anxiety.
There can be situational anxiety from being on the fertility journey, such as feeling worried, overwhelmed or impatient.
And there can also be anxiety that we may have dealt with our whole lives.
We get hyper-focused on our mental health diagnosis, and this may be a clue as to why we are struggling to conceive.
When we rebalance the nervous system, our reproductive health comes back into balance.
Today, I’m excited to welcome Dr. Traci Potterf to the podcast. Dr Traci is a Functional Health anxiety detective. She helps growth-minded professionals overwhelmed by anxiety to find and fix the hidden causes with natural solutions so they can live a limitless life at peace in their own skin.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) Why the gut-brain connection matters for someone on the fertility journey, and why the gut is referred to as the second brain
2) The most common causes of anxiety (we discuss factors that influence brain health, such as digestion, microbiome imbalances/infections, blood sugar imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid problems, hormone imbalance and nutrient deficiencies) and why this matters if you are trying to get pregnant naturally
3) The conventional approach to treat anxiety and how the functional approach can begin to regulate the nervous system and balance your mood (which helps with reproductive health)

Mon, 06 May 2024 - 48min - 449 - Why Addressing Psoriasis, Acne, Rashes & Eczema Can Improve Pregnancy Success with Sururat Coulibaly
We’re digging into how skin conditions impact your ability to conceive.
If you’re struggling with skin issues such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, rashes or hives, this is a clue for you when you're TTC.
The body does not work in silos even though conventional medicine has us believe that we need to see a different specialist (i.e. dermatologist, REI, gastroenterologist etc.) for every ailment, and no one stops to think it’s all connected.
Skin conditions are a HUGE clue as to why you may struggle to conceive.
It is time to look at your whole body and not just treat the skin condition with topical creams and medication that does not address the underlying reason (hence, the skin issue just comes back).
The skin is a reflection of the gut microbiome, and the gut is highly tied to the health of the ovaries.
Today, I’m excited to welcome Sururat Coulibaly. Sururat is a mother, enthusiastic traveller, and functional wellness practitioner and coach who specializes in skin wellness. She founded The Holistic Skin Coach and Celebrate Wellness and developed the "Clear Skin Reset Program."
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What skin conditions mean for fertility and how to address them (which ultimately improves reproductive health)
2) How food sensitivities impact skin health and why nutrient deficiencies are commonly missed
3) Some hidden root causes of chronic skin rashes such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and hives.
4) What biomarkers you need to know about that can shift the needle that your dermatologist will not tell you about

Mon, 29 Apr 2024 - 45min - 448 - Why Genomic Testing Can Help With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Birth Outcomes and Preconception Health with Helen Gautschi
We’re digging into genetic testing to improve pregnancy success and prevent or decrease the risk of pregnancy loss.
At Fab Fertile, we’ve been offering genetic/genomic testing as part of our method for years.
This genetic testing is very different from the testing you would receive from your conventional doctor.
Our genetic testing looks at specific gene variants and makes specific diet/lifestyle recommendations and supplements that can support your genes. Your genes are not your destiny, and there are targeted steps you can take to optimize your fertility and pregnancy success.
I’m excited to announce that we have an even better genetic test that helps improve pregnancy outcomes.
Designed to improve preconception health, birth outcomes, recurrent miscarriage, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, the GrowBaby test identifies pathways that need support and helps us determine a customized plan based on your DNA.
I'm excited to welcome Helen Gautschi to the podcast. Helen is a registered dietician (SA) and holds a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics (Honours) degree from Stellenbosch University in South Africa. She is also the Head of Research and Development and Education at DNAlife, which offers the GrowBaby genetic test.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How the GrowBaby test can improve birth outcomes and decrease the risk for preeclampsia and gestational hypertension and diabetes and miscarriage or pregnancy loss
2) How to support each pathway with specific diet/lifestyle and supplement recommendations
3) Why the preconception period is critical and specific steps you can take to improve healthy birth outcomes

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 - 55min - 447 - Why A Healthy Liver Matters For Fertility
We’re digging into how to improve liver health and what you need to know when you are TTC.
One of the themes we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is a sluggish liver.
If your liver is not functioning properly, it may not be able to remove estrogen from your body. This leads to estrogen reabsorption, which results in hormone imbalance.
Some signs of a sluggish liver include fatigue, headaches, poor digestion, cravings, weight gain around the middle and more.
So how do we get our liver in tip-top shape to balance hormones and get pregnant naturally?
Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is our clinical advisor and 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.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why a healthy liver is important when you are TTC
2) Which genetic variants are tied to the liver (and how to support them so you can optimize liver function)
3) Symptoms of poor liver function and specific blood markers to review to ensure they are in the optimal range
4) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations for a healthy liver

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 - 39min - 445 - How To Advocate For A Safer Birth When You Are TTC with Gina Mundy
We’re digging into safer childbirth and how to prepare for the birth of your baby.
Years ago, when I had my children, no one was talking about doulas, midwives or how to advocate for yourself during childbirth.
I remember taking a childbirth class and some Lamaze breathing with a coach, which was about it.
I didn’t know that if I wasn’t happy with my care in the hospital, I could speak up.
Fortunately for me, everything went well during the birth process for both my children (even though they were both born via c-section and labour was very long).
Did you know that more than 250,000 people in the United States die every year due to medical mistakes?
We are in charge of our health, and we have to advocate for what we need.
Today, I’m excited to welcome Gina Mundy to the podcast. Gina Mundy is an attorney who specializes in childbirth cases. For over two decades, she has analyzed the mistakes made during labour and delivery. Drawing on this knowledge, she has authored the book A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The most common problems that occur during childbirth and how YOU can help prevent them
2) Labour and delivery lingo you NEED to know to communicate with your delivery team
3) The RIGHT way to pick your doctor and hospital for a less stressful delivery
4) Tips for when your delivery team is NOT at your bedside
5) The EASY way to determine how your baby is doing at any point during labour
6) How to create the ULTIMATE birth plan for keeping both you and your baby safe

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 - 42min - 444 - Weight Loss Hacks To Improve Pregnancy Success with Louise Digby
We’re digging into how to address weight loss as you prepare for pregnancy success.
Losing weight is easier said than done. Like most people, you’ve probably tried A LOT of things to lose weight.
Someone may even have told you that weight loss is necessary for you to conceive or move forward with IVF.
We may even blame ourselves when nothing works and feel frustrated.
But what if there were specific steps you could take now that didn’t involve calorie deprivation or working out all the time?
After all, fueling your body with the right foods can reduce inflammation, which can help you lose weight.
Today, we’re breaking down the top steps to improve pregnancy success (especially if you need to lose weight to conceive).
I’m excited to welcome Louise Digby to the podcast. Louise is a registered nutritional therapist, women’s weight loss expert and founder of The Nourish Method to Lasting Fat Loss.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
1) BMI’s biggest flaw and why it can waste time
2) Food sensitivities and the link to fertility and weight loss
3) How to balance blood sugar (and why this matters for pregnancy success and weight loss)
4) Gut microbiome health and its role in weight loss (plus the impact of the gut on the ovaries).
5) Being told your thyroid (TSH) is normal, but you still can’t shift the weight or get pregnant (what tests to ask your doctor to run)
6) The link between sleep and weight loss and quick tips to improve sleep

We’re digging into how to improve preconception health when we are TTC.
It feels like we need to rush to medicated cycles, IUI or IVF to fast-track the chances of having our baby.
After all, this is what happens when we receive a diagnosis of low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency.
At Fab Fertile, we're not anti-IVF; we’re pro-health.
When we move prematurely to IVF, we miss crucial steps to work on our health.
During the preconception period, we are in a very powerful position to make targeted changes that positively impact our fertility and our child's health.
But what are the exact steps we need to take right now?
Dr. Labib Ghulmiyyah is Board-certified in OBGYN/Maternal Fetal Medicine and Functional Medicine and is part of Fab Fertile as our medical advisor. He's an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why the preconception period is so crucial for postpartum health and the health of your child
2) Complications during pregnancy and how to be your own health advocate
3) Postpartum symptoms and understanding baby blues vs true postpartum depression
4) Functional lab tests that can help improve preconception and postpartum health
5) Factors that influence low milk supply and what you can do
6) How to minimize toxin exposure and supplements to help with detoxification

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 - 50min - 441 - What Biomarkers Are Needed To Determine When To Start IVF (Especially If You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH)
We’re digging into how to know if IVF is next step if you have low AMH and/or high FSH.
What we see with low AMH/high FSH when a couple selects IVF (without making targeted diet/lifestyle changes) is cancelled cycles, poor response to medications, poor embryo quality, and miscarriages.
This is financially and emotionally devastating.
So what is the fast track to getting pregnant with low AMH and/or high FSH?
The fast track is taking a targeted approach with your health.
You’ll either get pregnant naturally or improve the chances of IVF success.
Sometimes IVF is necessary. So how do we know when/if IVF is the right next step?
What biomarkers do we need to know to be able to make an informed decision about whether IVF is our next step?
This episode is for you if:
1) You’ve tried diet/lifestyle changes, and you feel like IVF is the next step
2) You’re not sure how to optimize for successful IVF
3) You feel like something is being missed, but your REI keeps telling you that you’re running out of time
4) You’ve already experienced failed IVF, and they want to rush you to another retrieval and/or transfer (sometimes with the same protocol)
5) You feel hesitant to rush back in again without making targeted changes to your health

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 - 38min - 440 - How To Improve Egg Health When You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH
We’re digging into how to improve egg health if you have low AMH and/or high FSH.
Maybe you’ve been told you have poor egg quality.
You may have experienced irregular menstrual cycles, poor fertilization rates, low AMH, high FSH, low levels of estradiol, chromosomal disorders and pregnancy loss.
This may have sent you down a rabbit hole of information overload.
After all, there is so much generalized information about how to improve egg quality.
But what if there were specific steps you could take right now to improve your egg quality?
It’s not about following another egg-quality diet; it’s about uncovering the factors that negatively influence your egg health to improve pregnancy success.
Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is our clinical advisor. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to improve conception dramatically. 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.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why your doctor is testing the wrong biomarkers for egg quality
2) The specific diet that helps egg quality
3) How to know if this hormone is impacting egg quality (especially if you have low AMH and/or high FSH)
4) The supplements for egg health (and how not to waste money on supplements)

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 - 45min - 439 - How These Proven Coping Strategies Can Help Navigate Pregnancy Loss
We’re digging into how to navigate pregnancy loss with a focus on mental and emotional well-being.
Women still experience enormous stigma and shame when they lose a baby, and they are often not encouraged to talk about the loss.
This can lead to isolation and disconnection from a partner, family and friends, as well as feeling trapped in grief.
What are the signs of negative coping or even avoidance?
And how do we cope with pregnancy loss when we are still trying to conceive?
Our Fab Fertile Mindset Coaches, Samantha and Fatima, join me today! They are an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to improve conception dramatically. 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.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Signs of avoidance and negative coping after pregnancy loss
2) Understanding grief as it relates to pregnancy loss
3) Coping strategies to help navigate the mental and emotional rollercoaster
4) Book recommendations that touch on grief, isolation, the importance of community and recovery after miscarriage

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 - 54min - 438 - How To Be Your Own Advocate With Pregnancy Loss
We're digging into medical jargon associated with pregnancy loss.
Navigating the medical system during pregnancy loss can be overwhelming.
That’s why we wanted to break down the medical jargon so you can be your own advocate.
Also, you may notice that we use the term pregnancy loss instead of miscarriage.
This is because you did nothing to miscarry your pregnancy.
Pregnancy loss is not your fault.
Let’s learn how to navigate the confusing medical jargon associated with pregnancy loss so you can ask for the care that is right for you.
Our Fab Fertile Mindset coaches, Samantha and Fatima, join me today! They are an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to improve conception dramatically. 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.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
1) How we define the different types of pregnancy loss
2) What goes into diagnosing a pregnancy loss
3) Medication for 1st and 2nd trimester loss
4) Understanding D&C and D&E
5) Mental and emotional strategies for coping

Mon, 12 Feb 2024 - 40min - 437 - How To Select The Right Supplements To Improve Low AMH and High FSH
We’re digging into how to select the correct fertility supplements.
Figuring out which supplements to take to optimize fertility may have you feeling overwhelmed.
You may think you’re saving money by getting your supplements on Amazon, but it is essential to prioritize safety and quality over convenience or price.
Many supplements can actually harm our fertility.
They can have fillers, binders, synthetic ingredients, dyes, preservatives and chemical additives.
Also, many supplements contain top allergens like gluten, soy and dairy that can impede the chances of pregnancy success.
So, what are the foundational supplements for fertility, and how do we select the right product for us?
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
1) Foundational supplements to enhance both male and female fertility
2) Which supplement helps with egg quality, reduces the risk of early miscarriage and helps with the production of healthy sperm
3) Supplements that help with sperm quality and motility
4) How this supplement can balance estrogen for women and testosterone for men - plus increase libido for both sexes

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 - 41min - 435 - Why Your Oral Microbiome Matters When You Are TTC with Dr Katie Lee
We're digging into why your dental health matters when you are TTC.
The American Dental Association recommends seeing the dentist every six months or an average of twice annually. But it turns out about 25% of the population goes more than five years without visiting a dentist.
A healthy oral microbiome is essential when you are trying to conceive.
Periodontal disease can be linked to egg and sperm health and complications during pregnancy.
Let’s discover how oral health may be linked to fertility and what you can do to improve pregnancy success.
I’m excited to welcome Dr. Katie Lee to the podcast. Dr. Katie is a dentist, speaker, author and coach. Dr. Lee authored a book entitled Saved By the Mouth to educate patients and clinicians on the importance of oral health.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What the studies tell us about oral health and pregnancy success outcomes
2) How periodontal disease may be linked to ovulation and lengthen the time for conception
3) The link between pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, preeclampsia, preterm labour and more
4) When to use mouth taping, favourite toothbrush and why, the final word on mouthwash, plus the right diet for optimal oral health

Follow Dr. Katie on Instagram @KatieLeeDDS and send her a message with code “saliva23” to get a salivary test at cost, a free teledentistry consultation with Dr. Katie to go over your results, and a personalized care plan to improve your oral health https://www.instagram.com/katieleedds/

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 - 39min - 434 - Top Stressors Impacting Your Fertility
We're digging into how to recognize and address top stressors impacting AMH/FSH.
We all know that life can be stressful, especially when we are TTC.
But how is the stress impacting our ability to conceive?
At Fab Fertile, our thesis is “Is it actually menopause, or is it your adrenals?”
I know the low AMH and/or high FSH diagnosis can lock into our subconscious.
It can make us feel even more stressed and unsure about a path forward.
Many of us have negatively hypnotized ourselves.
Which only leads to more worry and uncertainty about the future.
What if there were specific steps you could take right now to address overwhelm, worry, panic, plus hidden stressors that our doctor hasn’t told us about (but when addressed, can be the clue that shifts the needle toward pregnancy success)?
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How to address mental/emotional stress (we discuss how to manage setting work boundaries, toxic workplace, long hours (anything over 50 hrs/week), toxic relationships and how to strengthen the relationship with your partner
2) How to know if we're in burnout (hint: how you begin your morning will give you a clue, plus one of our favourite tests)
3) Why your conventional doctor will miss physiological stress and how to address this once and for all (and this matters for AMH, FSH and antral follicle count)

Mon, 15 Jan 2024 - 40min - 433 - The Personalized Proven Diet Steps To Improve Pregnancy Success In 2024
We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success.
It’s a New Year; now is the perfect time to make diet changes to improve pregnancy success.
A theme we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Gluten is off the charts on our client’s food sensitivity tests.
Plus, the body identifies cross reactors with gluten as gluten and mounts an immune response.
If your body is under attack (even by a seemingly healthy food), it wants to survive, not procreate.
An elimination diet is the gold standard to determine if you have a food sensitivity.
We’ve had people only make diet changes, and they’ve successfully conceived (even after going through failed IVFs).
But you have to rip off the bandaid and start.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How to know if your infertility is a symptom of something else going on in your body (Hint – digestive issues, skin problems, mood problems, joint issues and autoimmunity are ALL clues)
2) What is a leaky gut, and why this matters if you are TTC
3) Which foods to avoid during the elimination and how to reintroduce the foods (this part is crucial)
4) Which foods will you eat (it is NOT about starving or drinking green juice)
5) How to commit and actually start the elimination diet (Gluten-light/dairy-light do NOT work)
6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you during an elimination diet

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 - 46min - 432 - The Best Episodes of 2023 So You Can Get Pregnant In 2024 (Especially If You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH)
We're digging into the best episodes of 2023 so you can improve pregnancy success in 2024.
Happy New Year!
Here's to a fresh start in 2024. I can't wait to see what it brings for you.
As we welcome in the New Year, I want you to have a plan for pregnancy success in 2024.
That’s why I’ve recorded a wrap-up of the best episodes of 2023 from the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast.
I know you may feel pressure from your doctor to start IVF in the New Year.
After all, with low AMH and/or high FSH, you’re usually rushed to medicated cycles, IUI, IVF or donor eggs. We’re told this is the fast track to having our baby.
But what about the couples that complete 1,2,3,4, or more IVFs and it doesn’t work? I speak with couples that, before working with us, have experienced failed IVF and the emotional and financial heartbreak is real.
What I know for sure is that taking a targeted approach to your health is the fast track. You’ll either get pregnant naturally or if you do need IVF, you’ll improve your chances of it actually working.
This episode is for you if you:
If you want the top tips to help you get pregnant naturally in 2024
Need a roadmap to figure out what should be next for YOU!
You want to learn the latest from the field of functional medicine and how it can help you have your baby
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The final word on diet when you have low AMH and/or High FSH
2) What you need to know about your microbiome and ovarian health.
3) Why it may not be peri(menopause) but your adrenals instead
4) How to know when/if IVF is your next best step

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 - 43min - 431 - How To Be Your Own Advocate With Your Doctor To Improve Pregnancy Success with Jane Gleeson
We’re digging into what being your own advocate when you are TTC.
I know we’re in an era that tells us to trust the doctors, but it’s essential to be your own advocate.
Remember, you know your body best.
Conventional medicine is very effective in addressing acute illness or injury.
But, for chronic illness or disease, the approach is ineffective and falls short.
It’s the pill for an ill approach. That has us going down a road of medication that never actually addresses why we can’t conceive in the first place.
That’s why we need to assemble a team around us when we’re on the fertility journey.
And we are in the center.
We are the conductor of our own healing.
This is a very powerful position. But it can also make us second guess our intuition.
After all, medical gaslighting is real.
So how do we understand our blood markers, know what the tests really mean for our fertility and be our own advocate?
I’m excited to welcome Jane Gleeson to the podcast. Jane is an RN, Acupuncturist, and fertility expert. Jane has cared for hundreds of women at all stages of trying to conceive and build their families.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) How to navigate the fertility journey on your terms and be your own advocate
2) What role does stress have in your fertility journey
3) What are some strategies to use to track our cycle, when to start IVF and should we consider acupuncture

Mon, 25 Dec 2023 - 45min - 430 - Spiritual Forecast for 2024 To Cultivate Hope and Pregnancy Success
We’re digging into how to cultivate hope when you have low AMH/high FSH.
As we prepare for 2024, how do we cultivate hope for the New Year?
This year may have been the year you planned to have your baby.
Maybe you’ve been through failed IVF(s), cancelled cycles, been told you’re a poor responder or suffered pregnancy loss.
It can be a difficult journey, and many times, we may even negatively hypnotize ourselves and not be able to see a positive path forward.
But what if we could start to exercise that spiritual muscle?
The voice inside that tells us not to give up.
We can start to ignite hope.
So, what steps can we take right now to lean into trust, calmness and peace?
We’re connecting to the wisdom and magic of a favourite card deck and giving you the 2024 spiritual forecast.
I’m excited to welcome Nichole Causey back to the podcast. Nichole is a Reiki Master specializing in manifestation, self-love, confidence, trusting intuition, and fulfilling desires.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) How to move from catastrophizing, anxiety and worry to cultivating hope
2) What to do if you feel you’ve negatively hypnotized yourself
3) How to trust your intuition and stop asking everyone else what you should do next
4) The spiritual forecast for 2024 so that you can manifest pregnancy success

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 - 41min - 429 - How To Improve Pregnancy Success With Donor Eggs with Adele O'Connor
We’re digging into donor eggs and what you need to know if you’ve selected this option.
As you may know, I had both my kids with donor eggs. I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) over 25 years ago. And 25 years later, in conventional medicine, the recommendation for POI is either to rush to IVF or go straight to donor eggs.
What I know for sure is there are targeted steps we can take to improve pregnancy success with your eggs when we address underlying healing opportunities using functional medicine and functional nutrition.
However, we may decide that donor eggs are the best option.
We’ve helped many couples get pregnant using donor eggs (after they’ve made targeted changes to their health). After all, donor eggs are not a guarantee of pregnancy success. A healthy foundation for both partners must be established first.
But what about the emotional aspect of selecting donor eggs to grow your family?
How do we navigate the journey to pregnancy success when we’ve selected donor eggs as our next step?
I’m excited to welcome Adele O’Connor to the podcast. Adele is a fertility coach and podcast host of Donor Egg Mama. She supports intended parents considering a donor egg pathway to break free from overwhelm and guide them to a place of calm confidence to move forward and build their families.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The biggest mindset hurdles for women who select donor eggs (i.e. will I bond with my baby?)
2) Advice to couples beginning their donor egg journey
3) How to improve pregnancy success with donor eggs

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 - 43min - 428 - How To Avoid These Top 10 Mistakes If You Have Low AMH/High FSH
We’re digging into how to improve pregnancy success in 2024 when you have low AMH and/or high FSH.
As we come to the end of the year, I want you to have a plan for 2024 so that you can have your baby.
I know firsthand how hard it can be when you receive a diagnosis of low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, or diminished ovarian reserve.
That’s why I developed the Fab Fertile Method.
I don’t want you to struggle as I did.
I want you to have a proven plan that sets you up for pregnancy success.
So before you head to IVF or muddle through this by yourself, I want to share the ten common mistakes we see when someone has low AMH and/or high FSH so you can get pregnant and have your baby in 2024.
This episode is for you if:
- You’ve tried everything, and nothing has worked to improve AMH or FSH.
- You’re not sure what to do for 2024 to optimize your fertility, but you know your doctor is missing something.
- You feel like IVF may be your next step, but you want to get pregnant naturally.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The top 10 mistakes we see with low AMH/high FSH so you can avoid them and fast-track your chances of pregnancy success
2) Why AMH is a poor predictor of pregnancy success and what you need to focus on instead to shift the needle and optimize your fertility

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 - 41min - 427 - What Anemia Really Means For Low AMH/High FSH
We’re digging into iron panels and what you need to know when you are TTC.
What we commonly see with low AMH/high FSH is iron deficiency.
And it’s more than just taking an iron supplement.
Because many people don’t absorb iron properly or have heavy periods and gut issues that negatively impact iron levels.
Bottom line if you have amenorrhea, anovulation (the lack of ovulation), poor egg health, ovulatory disorder, and have experienced miscarriage its time to dig deeper into the full iron panel.
So how do we address iron deficiency to improve our chances of pregnancy success?
In this episode you'll learn: - Symptoms of low iron and why this matters for fertility - Functional reference ranges for the iron panel (hint: a conventional physician may have told you that your iron ranges are “normal” – but has a healing opportunity been missed?) - Reasons WHY your iron markers are out of balance (i.e. gut infections, autoimmunity, low stomach acid and more) - Medications and foods that interfere with iron absorption - Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to improve iron markers

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 - 45min - 426 - Beginner’s Guide to Going Toxin-Free When TTC with Anna Rapp
We are living in a toxic soup filled with chemicals.
When we’re TTC, switching to non-toxic products is essential.
We don’t recommend throwing everything out because that can cause more stress.
As each product expires, you can replace it with a non-toxic option.
Except for your feminine hygiene and fragrances - swap those out immediately - hint: those pumpkin spice candles release harmful PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) associated with reproductive issues.
Studies have linked PAH exposure to reduced sperm count, lower concentration, abnormal shape, and decreased mobility.
Additionally, various chemicals such as phthalates, SVOCs, BHT, and parabens have the potential to disrupt hormones, which is particularly concerning for individuals trying to conceive or those who are pregnant.
So, where do we start?
We’re excited to share a beginner’s guide to going toxin-free as you prepare for pregnancy success.
I’m excited to welcome Anna Rapp to the podcast. Anna is the chief blogger at the popular fertility site To Make A Mommy.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The difference between non-toxic, low-tox, green living, clean living
2) Advise on how to swap out your personal care products
3) How to know which cookware is best
4) Our favourite air purifier, water filter, mattress and cleaning products

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 - 57min - 425 - Why Your Gut Microbiome Matters for Low AMH and High FSH
We’re digging into stool testing and what it means for fertility and low AMH/high FSH.
When you are dealing with low AMH and or high FSH, the last place your REI will look is the health of your gut.
The health of your gut is directly tied to the health of your ovaries.
And if you have an infection, no amount of clean eating will matter.
The infection needs to be addressed.
It may be tempting to use an anti-parasitic or anti-fungal to address an infection, but that will wipe out all the good and bad bacteria, making a longer road to repairing the gut.
We are not against medication (sometimes it is needed); however, a targeted supplement protocol will address the infections while maintaining the health of the gut.
So, how do we identify and address the infection to improve pregnancy success?
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The conventional medicine approach to gut infections and what is regularly missed (plus, we discuss our favourite stool test in detail)
2) Top infections we see with low AMH and/or high FSH
3) How to know if you have a leaky gut and why this matters for fertility
4) Why DIY wastes time with addressing infections and how to fast-track pregnancy success

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 - 51min - 424 - Why Low AMH/High FSH May Not Be Menopause - It Could Be This Instead
In this episode, we dig into navigating the holiday season with low AMH/high FSH.
The fertility journey can be all-encompassing, and the holiday season can be challenging.
Visiting friends and family and seeing coworkers who ask that intrusive and annoying question, “Do you have kids yet?”
The pressure of the season may have you feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. So many of us have been on the TTC journey for years. The stress can start to sneak up on you, impacting your biochemistry.
As I’ve shared before, maybe the low AMH/high FSH is not a sign of menopause; it's that your adrenals are struggling.
So what can we do about it?
This episode is for you:
1) You’re constantly getting asked by family and friends - when will you have your baby
2) Not sure what to do for 2024 to optimize your fertility
3) You need an action plan so that you can tell people to mind their own business
4) You wonder if low AMH/high FSH is menopause or maybe your doctor is missing an underlying healing opportunity

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 - 35min - 423 - How To Know If IVF Is Your Next Step When You Have Low AMH and/or High FSH
We’re digging into how to know if IVF is the next step if you have low AMH/high FSH.
I know you’ve been told that IVF is the only way forward when you have low AMH and/or high FSH.
You may have been told that time is of the essence and you need to rush to IVF.
We are not anti-IVF.
We are pro-health.
You can’t skip working on health.
I know you’ve already done a lot of work on your health. Most people have already tried naturally and made some generalized diet and lifestyle recommendations before IVF.
What we see with low AMH/high FSH when a couple selects IVF (without making targeted diet/lifestyle changes) is cancelled cycles, poor response to medications, poor embryo quality, and miscarriages.
Couples share these stories with me daily.
I don’t want you to get through the emotional and financial heartache of failed IVF.
What if there was a way to know when IVF is right for you?
A way to improve your chances of it working.

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 - 38min - 422 - Recovering From Chronic Illness and How To Boost Pregnancy Success with Allison Samon
We’re digging into recovering from chronic illness while TTC.
The conventional medicine approach for dealing with chronic illness and autoimmune disease is to prescribe medication.
This approach has us chasing symptoms and does not address the underlying cause.
One of the themes we see with low AMH and high FSH is autoimmunity. One autoimmune disease will predispose you to another autoimmune disease.
We see so many people who have a chronic illness or autoimmunity and have been referred to IVF or donor eggs, and the retrieval or transfer has failed.
It is not about pushing your body and doing another IVF.
We’ve been led to believe that IVF is the fast track.
The real fast track addresses your health, so a functional approach is uniquely positioned to optimize pregnancy success.
Today, I’m excited to welcome Allison Samon to the podcast. Allison is a Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner who works virtually with people to get out of chronic illness, escape from mystery symptoms, and help re-design their lifestyle so they can be fit, energized, and pain-free in easy, fun, and sustainable ways.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The conventional medicine approach for chronic illness and autoimmunity
2) How working on food sensitivities, gut infections, and stressors can begin the healing process back to health and optimal fertility
3) How to be your own advocate so that you can improve pregnancy success

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 - 48min - 421 - Biggest Diet Mistakes with Low AMH or High FSH and How To Improve Pregnancy Success
We’re digging into common mistakes we make with diet for low AMH/high FSH.
It can be confusing to know where to start to improve your diet when you have low AMH and/or high FSH.
I know you’ve probably asked your OB/GYN or REI about the importance of diet, and they may have told you that diet might help, but it’s not an essential part of the equation.
This may have you second-guessing what approach to take.
I don’t want you to waste time making the wrong changes or give up on diet changes because you’re unsure if it’s even worth the effort.
I’m breaking down the top 3 mistakes we see when someone makes diet changes and what you can do right now to improve pregnancy success.
This episode is for you:
- You’ve tried diet changes, and nothing has worked
- You’re not sure what to do to optimize your fertility
- You feel like IVF may be your next step, but you really want to get pregnant naturally
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What health symptoms to look out for when you have low AMH/high FSH - hint: it’s not about focusing on your AMH/FSH numbers
2) What to do if you're already gluten-free but it's still not working
3) How to know what is being missed and what is a diet plan that can help improve pregnancy success

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 - 32min - 420 - The Problem With Most Fertility Smoothies & How To Know Which Ingredients Matter with Anna Rapp
We’re digging into what everyone gets wrong about fertility smoothies.
Eating the right foods when you are trying to conceive can be confusing. There is so much contradictory advice.
At Fab Fertile, we believe in a personalized approach to nutrition. We have our clients start the elimination diet (it’s the gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity), and then we tweak the diet further with comprehensive food sensitivity testing.
We’ve had people intolerant to fertility super foods like avocado, eggs, almonds and yes, even leafy greens.
So, while we’re figuring out our personalized diet choices, I wanted to give some inspiration for your breakfast.
It’s one of the biggest questions we get from people. But what will I eat for breakfast when I change my diet?
Enter the morning smoothie. But the problem with many smoothies is they are doing more harm than good (with blood sugar-spiking ingredients that only impair your fertility).
So what ingredients should your fertility smoothie contain, and how can you maximize your nutrition in each glass?
I’m excited to welcome Anna Rapp to the podcast. Anna is the chief blogger at the popular fertility site To Make A Mommy (https://www.tomakeamommy.com/).
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) The problems with most fertility smoothies
2) The right way to include greens in smoothies (this tip is crucial for your fertility, especially if you have thyroid dysfunction – which we see regularly with low AMH/high FSH)
3) How much protein to add, which protein powders to avoid, and which ones are our favourite
4) The importance of healthy fats and how to add them to your smoothie (hint: we need healthy fats for hormone production).
5) How to include seed cycling into your smoothie

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 - 49min - 419 - Why Adrenal Insufficiency Can Be A Factor with Low AMH and High FSH
We’re digging into why addressing adrenal insufficiency matters when TTC.
I can’t tell you how many people I speak with that have low AMH/high FSH that are:
- Working more than 50 hours per week and dealing with a toxic workplace and/or demanding boss
- Holding down a full-time job and in graduate school
- Have experienced a traumatic event such as pregnancy loss or death in the family
- Dealing with relationship struggles or estrangement with family members
- Have tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant for years with multiple rounds of IVF
- Have been told donor eggs are their only hope
Chronic stress is real. We see it all the time with low AMH/high FSH. The good thing is there are targeted strategies to address the stress, heal your adrenals, optimize your egg health and restore your fertility.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What the adrenals have to do with fertility (differences between adrenal fatigue and HPA dysfunction)
2) Signs of adrenal dysfunction and some potential causes
3) The impact of the adrenals on the thyroid
4) MTHFR and the adrenals (how to support methylation)
5) Diet/lifestyle and supplement recommendations to support the adrenals and improve egg health and fertility

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 - 47min - 418 - How To Reduce The Risk of Miscarriage and Enhance Fertility By Eliminating Toxins with Rachel Varga
In this episode, we're digging into how to minimize toxin exposure while TTC.
We are exposed to over 85,000 chemicals in our environment.
Environmental working group scientists have identified dozens of studies published in the past five years that report the presence of PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, in cord blood.
“The presence of these chemicals is also a threat to pregnant people, serving as first contacts with PFAS before they can pass from the uterus to the developing fetus by way of the umbilical cord.”
We’re exposed to chemicals in our food, personal care products, water, consumer goods and cleaning products.
Turns out these chemicals are linked to endocrine disruptors that impact both male and female fertility.
Women with a history of miscarriage may have up to 300% more of a chemical used in perfumes and cosmetics in their bloodstream than women who have never miscarried. (Human Reproduction Journal).
So, how do you protect yourself and your future children?
I'm excited to welcome Rachel Varga (https://www.theschoolofradiance.com/) to the podcast. Rachel Varga, BScN, RN, CANS, is a Double Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist.
In this episode, you'll learn:

Mon, 18 Sep 2023 - 35min - 416 - Why Detoxes and Cleanses May Be Harming Your Fertility
We’re digging into why fertility cleanses/detoxes can harm fertility and what to do instead if you have low AMH/high FSH.
Preparing your body for conception can be overwhelming and confusing.
All these generalized recommendations may leave us wondering what to do next.
We may think fertility cleanses or detoxes are a good first step.
But what if the detox or cleanse caused unwanted side effects that actually harmed our fertility?
Let’s learn how to support our detoxification pathways safely so that our body is in the best condition for our future baby.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why fertility detoxes and cleanses may produce short-term effects but don’t address underlying biochemical imbalances (also, is a heavy metal detox a good idea?)
2) How to support your detox pathways (simple yet powerful steps that help prepare your body for a baby)
3) Nutrition and supplements that support detoxification (don’t waste time and money on supplements that don’t give you the results)

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 - 45min - 415 - How To Connect With Your Spirit Baby When You Have Low AMH/High FSH with Nancy Mae
We’re digging into how to connect with your spirit baby.
Many times before couples work with us, they have experienced cancelled IVF cycles due to low follicle count, failed IVFs due to egg or embryo quality, or have been labelled a poor responder.
I know firsthand how difficult it is to hear that you have a very small chance of conceiving naturally or that donor eggs are your only option.
This information from a well-meaning reproductive endocrinologist can be embedded in your subconscious, making it challenging to see a positive outcome.
We may even begin to hypnotize ourselves negatively.
So, how can we shift our mindset to see a positive outcome?
Connecting to our spirit baby can give us comfort when we’re in the middle of a struggle.
Let’s learn how to access this powerful spiritual medicine.
Today, I’m welcoming Nancy Mae to the podcast. Nancy is an Intuitive Fertility Educator and Spirit Baby Expert.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How to connect with your spirit baby
2) The benefit of tapping into your spirit baby when you are TTC
3) The best way to start connecting with a spirit baby. And how do you know it's not just your mind playing tricks on you

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 - 39min - 413 - How To Release Generational Trauma As We Prepare For Parenthood Our Way
We’re digging into how to release generational trauma and prepare for parenting.
Let’s face it: no one has experienced a perfect childhood.
Whether you vow never to repeat how you were parented or you want to model how you were raised to your children.
Getting clear about your intentions as you plan for your family is essential to start immediately.
After all, prepping for a baby isn't just about parental leave, nurseries, and registries.
These deep conversations often unlock hidden fears and blocks you may not have even noticed your subconscious was holding on to.
So, how do we have an honest conversation with our partner about how we want to parent?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) How to start a conversation about how you want to parent.
2) Questions to consider include: How will you handle discipline? How do you want to raise this child? Do you have any triggers from your one childhood you DON'T want to bring forward?
3) Tools to help with the hard conversations and strategies to assist (i.e. journaling, therapy, EMDR, etc.).

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 - 44min - 412 - Why Optimizing Thyroid Matters For Low AMH, High FSH and Antral Follicle Count
We're digging into why thryoid health matters for low AMH/high FSH.
Our Fab Fertile Method includes a deep dive into your health utilizing cutting-edge functional tests and addressing biochemical and mental-emotional stressors.
A theme we see with primary ovarian insufficiency, diminished ovarian reserve, low AMH, and high FSH is thyroid dysfunction.
And looking at the TSH is NOT the answer.
I know you may have been told that our thyroid is normal, but something is being missed.
Thyroid dysfunction can result in:
· Anovulatory cycles
· Menstrual irregularities or heavy bleeding
· Low libido
· Luteal phase defects
· High prolactin
· Sex hormone imbalances
· Reduced DHEA, which may cause hormone imbalances and low sex hormone levels
· Failure to sustain a fertilized egg
· Low antral follicle count (AFC)
· Low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a measure of ovarian reserve
· High follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Mon, 14 Aug 2023 - 44min - 411 - How To Enjoy Fertility-Friendly Foods That Do Not Suck
We’re digging into tips for eating for fertility in the summer.
Making dietary changes can be hard (especially during the summer).
You may feel like putting off the changes until September.
However, eating foods that nourish your body does not need to suck.
And delaying making the changes only delays your chances of pregnancy success.
What if we could take advantage of the bounty that summer produce offers us?
This is not about eating a bunch of kale or sipping green juice.
From quick dips/pestos to protein-rich smoothies and barbeque-ready meats/fish, we discuss how you can nourish your body now without feeling deprived or hungry.
Caitlin Townsend is part of my team at Fab Fertile. She is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner as well as a Chef trained at The Culinary Institute of America.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
1) A smoothie recipe that’s packed with fertility-friendly protein/fats
2) Eating based on the season and how to incorporate more variety
3) How to select foods that are good for your digestion
4) Quick 3-4 ingredient recipe ideas for dips/pestos
5) How to use herbs to make your summer BBQ meat/fish more flavourful
6) An easy mocktail recipe that improves digestive health (i.e. gut health is key for ovarian function)

Mon, 07 Aug 2023 - 44min - 410 - The State of Women's Health Care in the US and Why This Matters For Fertility with Dr. Bill Chun
We’re digging into what to ask an OB/GYN when you are TTC.
When we visit a conventional OG/GYN, we typically have a very short time to get our questions answered.
It can be intimidating, confusing and emotional when trying to figure out why we struggle to conceive.
Plus, medical gaslighting is real.
You know your body best, not the person in the white coat.
The conventional medical system is broken, and IVF is a big business.
As part of our Fab Fertile Team, our medical cases reviewer is an OB/GYN with training in functional medicine. Conventional OB/GYNs are trained to perform surgeries, not look for the root cause.
Functional medicine allows us to look at the different systems in the body and see where there is an imbalance.
When this imbalance is addressed, the reproductive system comes back online.
Let’s see some steps you can take right now to be your own advocate.
Today, I’m welcoming Byungyol Chun to the podcasts. Dr. Chun is an experienced OB/GYN talking about what's wrong with women's healthcare in the US.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What is regularly missed in the OB/GYN’s office (i.e. the question that is not asked that makes the biggest difference about your reproductive health)
2) The business of IVF and how to be your own advocate (i.e. how to avoid medical gaslighting)
3) The business of birth and how to reduce C-sections, epidurals, and improve Apgar scores for baby
4) What every couple should have access to as they prepare for their baby

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 - 45min - 409 - Why The Health Of Your Gut Impacts Ovarian Function with Jackie Bowker
We’re digging into gut health and why this matters when you are TTC.
Addressing gut health is key for anyone on the fertility journey (especially if you have low AMH and/or high FSH).
So often we myopically focus on the AMH and FSH levels and forget about our health.
If you are dealing with any digestive issues such as loose stools, constipation, burping, bloating and gas consider this a HUGE clue that there is an imbalance in your body.
Even if you don’t have any digestive symptoms, you could still have gut issues (we see this all the time). You may have perfect digestion, but perhaps you are dealing with joint pain, mood imbalances, skin issues, or autoimmunity.
As part of our Fab Fertile Method, we always recommend a stool test. For women with low AMH and/or high FSH, we see a theme of parasites, bacterial infections, and fungal infections.
These nasty critters are wreaking havoc on the body. When the body is under attack, it wants to survive, not procreate.
So, how do we optimize gut health so that you can improve pregnancy success?
Today, I'm welcoming Jackie Bowker to the podcast. Jackie is an award-winning functional nutritionist, gut expert, speaker, and podcaster.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why gut health matters for fertility (especially for low AMH/high FSH)
2) The correction between gut health and thyroid dysfunction
3) Signs of leaky gut and potential gut infections
4) Diet and lifestyle strategies to improve gut health to improve pregnancy outcomes

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 - 40min - 408 - Why This One Change Matters For Low AMH/High FSH
We're digging into why gluten matters if you have low AMH/high FSH.
Most people with low AMH/high FSH have made some dietary changes.
You’ve probably changed your diet. You may even have reduced gluten, and maybe you didn’t notice any difference in your health.
If you have digestive symptoms after consuming gluten, consider yourself fortunate because you know for sure there is a correlation.
But most of us don’t have digestive problems. Not everyone experiences bloating, burping, gas, constipation and/or diarrhea with gluten.
There are other health complaints that we may experience that are common but definitely not normal.
As you may know, I was diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency at 28 and had both my kids with donors' eggs. Much later, I discovered food sensitivities, gut infections, and chronic stress were 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.
We specialize in low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and primary ovarian insufficiency.
A customized diet is essential, and determining if gluten needs to go is one of the first places we start.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why it is important to go gluten-free when we are TTC
2) The problem with consuming gluten during pregnancy and the potential risks for the child
3) The difference between celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity
4) The 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

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 - 45min - 407 - What Mood Swings, Sugar Cravings, Poor Sleep and Feeling Hangry Has To Do With Your Fertility
We’re digging into how to balance blood sugar when you are TTC.
When I ask the question to women with low AMH/high FSH “Have you ever experienced mood swings, sugar cravings, poor sleep and feeling hangry?”
It’s usually at least one but more likely all of the above.
These symptoms (yes, they are symptoms of a greater imbalance in the body) can be why you may be experiencing irregular or absent periods and ovulation disorders.
The good news is there’s a proven strategy to address these symptoms so that you can improve pregnancy success.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What insulin resistance is and why it matters if we are trying to conceive
2) How to test blood sugar and when to test
3) What it means for our fertility when we experience sugar cravings, mood swings, poor sleep and that "hangry" feeling
4) How stress and sleep impact blood sugar
5) What high and low blood sugar means for fertility and health
6) How to balance blood sugar and the best diet to regulate our blood sugar

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 - 42min - 406 - What If Depression Was A KEY Factor With Struggling To Conceive
We’re digging into depression and the link to a fertility diagnosis.
Many people have dealt with depression for years before they were even trying to conceive.
Conventional medicine will give you a diagnosis and perhaps even medication, which many people take for years without digging deeper to figure out why it happened in the first place.
The conversation around mental health is changing.
But what if it’s not depression?
The gut-brain connection is well-studied and documented.
This is a red flag and a missed healing opportunity if you have low AMH/high FSH, DOR/POI or are on the fertility journey.
If you are dealing with depression and/or anxiety, let’s get to the root cause to improve pregnancy success.
Today I'm welcoming Dr. Achina Stein. Dr. Stein is an Amazon international bestselling author of "What If It's NOT Depression? Your Guide to Finding Answers and Solutions", a certified practitioner of the Institute for Functional Medicine and a board-certified psychiatrist.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The difference between situation and clinical depression
2) Antidepressants and if and why it is appropriate to taper off medication
3) The mind-gut connection. Which testing can help identify healing opportunities

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 - 50min - 405 - The Ultimate Diet For Egg And Sperm Health
We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success.
There are so many diets that claim to optimize egg and sperm health.
And while one diet might work for someone, is it the right approach for you?
Our bodies are all different.
That’s why our Fab Fertile Method always starts with an elimination diet.
It is the gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity, and we have BOTH partners do the elimination diet (it is not just about you changing your diet).
It takes two to have a baby!
While the majority of couples that I speak with tell me they are eating a “clean” diet, most have not done the elimination diet.
Food sensitivity is a stressor on the body and must be addressed (we see so many people get this wrong). If your body is mounting an immune response to your favourite foods, this causes inflammation.
When your body is under attack from seemingly healthy foods (or even not-so-healthy foods), it wants to survive, not to procreate.
Figuring out the diet that is RIGHT for you is essential when you are trying to conceive.
And yes, we see AMH improve, FSH decrease, and sperm parameters get better after making targeted diet changes.
But we have to rip off the bandaid, pick a date and start.

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 - 47min - 404 - How To Fix YOUR Sleep and Baby's When You Are Experiencing Secondary Fertility
We’re digging into secondary fertility and getting sleep with young children as you prepare to expand your family.
Many couples have no problem conceiving their first child and then struggle to conceive their second.
They may deal with low AMH, high FSH, DOR, or POI. We see this all the time (even when the first pregnancy was very easy).
I’ve spoken with many women who tell me that they know that they need to sleep to get pregnant, but they are struggling to get their little one to bed.
We could be doing all the right things for our sleep, but our little one is not sleeping through the night or we are caught in a co-sleep situation that no longer serves us.
This episode has a trigger alert as we are digging into the exact steps to help your baby/toddler get a restful night's sleep so that you can sleep too.
Optimal sleep is key for our reproductive health.
Today I’m welcoming Kim West to the podcast. Kim is a Clinical Social Worker (which is a child and family therapist) for over 25 years. Known as The Sleep Lady® by her clients, she has personally helped over 20,000 tired parents all over the world get a good night’s sleep without letting their children cry it out alone.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Unique sleep issues for 5-12 months and 12- 2.5 years
2) The best sleep schedule for baby and toddler (ie, how many naps do they really need – the answer may surprise you)
3) Final word on co-sleeping and how to know if its right for your family
4) Sleep regression (ie, sleeping through the night and now having a hard time falling asleep or up very early)

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 - 50min - 403 - Why Your Dental Routine Matters For Fertility and Pregnancy Success Outcomes
We’re digging into how to improve the oral microbiome and why this matters when TTC.
We all know that brushing and flossing our teeth is a good daily habit, but what if our dental health was linked to our reproductive health?
We talk a lot about how a healthy gut microbiome and vaginal microbiome are essential for anyone on the fertility journey, but what is the oral microbiome?
Periodontal disease can be linked to egg and sperm health and complications during pregnancy.
Let’s discover how oral health may be linked to fertility and what you can do to improve pregnancy success.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What is the oral microbiome, and why it matters for fertility
2) How periodontal disease may be linked to ovulation and lengthen the time for conception
3) The link between pregnancy complications such as miscarriage, preeclampsia, preterm labour and more
4) The connection between the oral microbiome and male fertility (i.e. sperm health) and even erectile dysfunction
5) Specific strategies to improve your oral health

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 - 43min - 402 - Proven Sleep Hacks That Optimize Reproductive Health and Banish Poor Sleep For Good
We’re digging into how to optimize sleep to improve fertility.
Good sleep is the cornerstone of optimal fertility. However, so many of us are struggling with sleep.
Whether it's falling asleep, waking up at night or feeling tired all day.
And sleep aids are a bandaid and do not provide the restorative sleep needed for reproductive health.
The good news is there are targeted strategies that help to improve your sleep.
Sleep hygiene is imperative, but it’s more than a consistent bedtime routine and sleeping in a clutter-free dark room.
When we address the biochemical reasons why sleep is disordered in the first place, our sleep comes back online.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
1) Why sleep is essential for someone who is TTC
2) The link between adrenal insufficiency and sleep (i.e. if your cortisol is high before bed, you’ll have trouble falling asleep)
3) Blood sugar imbalance and why poor sleep impacts your blood sugar the entire next day (i.e. how to stop the vicious cycle)
4) Hormone imbalance and the impact on sleep
5) Supplement and diet/lifestyle strategies to optimize your sleep

We’re digging into repeat miscarriages and trying to conceive after loss.
Many women suffer from miscarriages and repeat miscarriages. The devastating emotional toll it takes can be hard to endure.

Mon, 29 May 2023 - 56min - 400 - How To Know When Or If To Use Bioidentical Hormones When TTC
We’re digging into bioidenticals and why this matters when you are TTC.
When I was diagnosed with POF/POI at 28, I was told that I needed to get hormone replacement therapy right away to protect my bones, prevent osteoporosis, and protect my heart.
So I took a synthetic form of hormone replacement therapy for years.
Then, I discovered that the root cause of my infertility was food sensitivity, gut infection, and chronic stress.
Many of my chronic health issues went away because I committed to diet and lifestyle changes.
I stopped taking hormone replacement therapy because of the negative side effects of synthetic hormones.
But I know I still needed support with my hormones.
Enter bioidentical hormones.
You may be wondering, “Can I use bioidenticals if I am TTC?"
They can be a good addition to your fertility toolkit...but they need to be used at the right time (lifestyle changes need to be prioritized first before we take the hormones).
Because bioidenticals alone are not the answer, but they can be part of the solution.
I'm excited to welcome Dr. Daved Rosensweet. Dr. Rosensweet is the founder of The Menopause Method, creator of BRITE, creator of I Wonder, Doctor, and the author of Happy Healthy Hormones.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why adding bioidentical hormones can be part of the TTC journey
2) The difference between bioidentical and synthetic hormones
3) The final word on the controversy surrounding hormone replacement therapy and the increased risk of cancer (We discuss the 2009 study - he breaks it all down)
4) Mistakes we see with hormone replacement therapy and how you can avoid them

Mon, 22 May 2023 - 46min - 399 - How To Select The Right Prenatal When You Are TTC
We’re digging into how to select the right prenatal as you prepare for your baby.
As we prepare for pregnancy success, a prenatal is an essential part of our fertility toolkit.
However, not all prenatal supplements are created equal in terms of quality, nutrients, and delivery systems.
There can be a lot of confusion, and buying a prenatal on Amazon is never a good idea.
Should your prenatal have folic acid or methylfolate?
Is iron really a good idea in a prenatal or can it lead to complications?
What about Vitamin A (we discuss the studies) and should your prenatal contain iodine?
So how do we know how to select the right prenatal?
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why it is so important to ensure your prenatal has methylated folate rather than folic acid. (Plus, what you need to know if you have the MTHFR gene variant. Hint 60-80% of the population has it.)
2) How much choline we need when we are TTC
3) The importance of vitamin A during pregnancy (i.e. we discuss testing and why a vegan/vegetarian diet may require supplementation)
4) Does your prenatal contain iodine? Many of us that consume a Western diet and are deficient in iodine (i.e. required for thyroid production, which is essential for pregnancy success)
5) Why we don’t want iron in our prenatal (i.e. supplementing iron in an iron-sufficient or iron-overloaded person can lead to pre-term delivery, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, inflammation, and oxidative stress)

Mon, 15 May 2023 - 47min - 398 - How To Address Men's Reproductive Health (It’s a myth sperm doesn't decline with age!)
We’re digging into male factor fertility diagnosis and how to optimize pregnancy success.
Although we specialize in complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency, many couples are coming to us with both female and male factor infertility.
The Fab Fertile Method effectively addresses both male and female fertility conditions.
That is why we coach couples. It is not only about getting the female healthy for pregnancy – we must include the male partner to increase the chances of getting pregnant naturally.
So whether there is poor semen count, low motility, DNA fragmentation or low morphology, there are always specific tips to improve male fertility.
Remember, it is a myth that sperm does not decline with age.
In this episode, you'll learn about:
1) Functional reference ranges for the semen analysis to identify healing opportunities to achieve optimal fertility. We discuss count, motility, morphology, DNA fragmentation and more. (i.e. rushing to IVF is not the answer - in 70-80 days with targeted diet/lifestyle changes, we can see an enormous improvement in semen quality)
2) Diet/lifestyle and the impact on male fertility (i.e. the final word on alcohol)
3) Themes we see with male factor fertility
4) Environmental toxins and how to reduce exposure to improve male fertility
5) Supplement recommendations to optimize male fertility - Fab For Life Natural Fertility Collection https://fabfertile.com/collections/supplements

Mon, 08 May 2023 - 43min - 397 - Healing the Womb: The Spiritual Side of Fertility with Carolina Sotomayor
We’re digging into how the womb holds emotions.
Going through the fertility journey can bring up all kinds of emotions – sometimes all at once.
Friends and family may not understand how you’re feeling. It’s not their fault. We need to educate those around us and surround ourselves with a support team.
That’s why our Fab Fertile Method takes a mind, body and spirit approach to your fertility.
Because although balancing the thyroid, optimizing blood sugar, personalizing diet and eradicating gut infections are essential for reproductive health, it’s equally important to acknowledge the chronic stress and emotional impact this journey has on our life.
How can we start to process the grief, frustration, impatience and stuck emotions to see a positive path forward?
And what if our womb was holding these stuck emotions?
I’m excited to welcome Carolina Sotomayor. Carolina is a Fertility Reiki Womb Healer serving women trying to conceive.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) What makes the womb hold on to emotions, and how do we process grief?
2) How do stuck emotions impact us when we are TTC?
3) How Reiki helps to release and heal these stuck emotions

Mon, 01 May 2023 - 44min - 396 - How To Stop Stressing So You Can Get Pregnant This Year
We’re digging into bodywork and why this matters when you are TTC.
I know you may feel panicked about getting pregnant and having your baby.
After all, the fertility industry pushes us towards aggressive IVFs, treatment after treatment, without considering the couple's health.
At Fab Fertile, we are not anti-IVF.
But moving towards another IVF or even selecting IVF in the first place without working on your health can backfire.
We see many couples that have experienced multiple failed IVFs and are still told to keep going with another retrieval or transfer.
But that thinking would be wrong.
Because when we’re in fight or flight mode, the body wants to survive, not procreate.
When I speak with couples that are TTC, I can see the panic, worry and overwhelm in their eyes. They tell me they feel powerless and hopeless. And the uncertainty can cause so much stress.
I know firsthand how this feels.
Taking control of your health puts you in the driver’s seat. You reduce the uncertainty and help to visualize a path forward.
So how do we show our body that it’s safe to procreate?
Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Elliot Berlin. Dr. Elliot is an award-winning prenatal chiropractor, childbirth educator, labour support bodyworker, and co-founder of Berlin Wellness Group in Los Angeles, California.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Which types of bodywork can help to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs
2) How to balance the autonomic nervous system so the body knows it is safe to procreate
3) Why panic and impatience with getting pregnant can hold you back and how to switch your mindset right now to visualize pregnancy success

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 - 55min - 395 - What exactly makes a great fertility diet? Keto? Paleo? Carnivore? Vegan?
We're digging into how to know which diet is right for your fertility.
POP QUIZ: What exactly makes a great diet to optimize fertility? - Keto? - Carnivore? - Paleo? - AIP?
Truth is, it’s none of the above.
The most important factor is consuming the diet that is right for YOU
✅Because those diets may have worked for someone else, but
✅We’re all DIFFERENT and that diet might not be right for YOU
That’s why it’s so important to figure out
> How food impacts your reproductive health
> Which foods to AVOID to reduce inflammation
> Which foods to ADD to prepare for pregnancy success
Remember:
If your body is under attack, it wants to survive, not procreate.
Once you’ve figured out the foods that are right for your body, you can personalize your diet so that you can improve your fertility.
One of my favorite ways to do this is by starting an elimination diet:
- Take out the TOP allergens for 10 days (gluten, dairy, corn, eggs, soy, peanuts, processed sugar and alcohol)
- Systematically reintroduce the foods over the course of 30 days.
This is a customized approach and you’ll know for sure how FOOD impacts your body.
There’s never a perfect time however, you need to rip off the bandaid and START.
✅Get our free Fertilty Diet Guide (includes 5 day meal plan/grocery shopping list - all free from the TOP allergens).
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Is your infertility a symptom of something else going on in your body? (Hint – digestive issues, skin problems, mood problems, joint issues and autoimmunity are ALL clues)
2) What is leaky gut, and why this matters if you're TTC

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 - 46min - 394 - What The MTHFR Gene Variant Means For Your Fertility
We’re digging into the MTHFR gene variant and why this matters when you are TTC.
You may have heard about the importance of getting tested for the MTHFR gene variant if you are trying to conceive.
MTHFR variants are associated with difficult conception and early pregnancy loss due to problems with the endometrium and implantation.
IVF studies have shown that women with MTHFR mutations are more likely to experience recurrent implantation failure.
Some men with fertility problems have low MTHFR function in their sperm.
You can’t change your genes, but there is a lot you can do to support your nutrient levels, bypassing the MTHFR enzyme. These include lifestyle changes, dietary habits, and supplementation.
Today I’m excited to welcome Ricardo Miranda. Ricardo is the CEO of MTHFRdoctors.com. He is a clinician and one of the top researchers in the field of MTHFR genetic mutation.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why addressing MTHFR is essential when you are on the fertility journey (i.e. which supplement is essential and what so many people are still getting this wrong)
2) What studies tell us about MTHFR and optimal fertility
3) The link between miscarriage and MTHFR gene variant
4) Why testing blood homocysteine is crucial, and it’s still not a standard of care in conventional medicine
5) Specific diet and lifestyle strategies and exactly which markers to test

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 - 42min - 393 - Why A Healthy Microbiome Matters For Egg and Sperm Health
We’re digging into how to select the right probiotic to improve fertility.
Probiotics seem to be everywhere. Products such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha and shots of apple cider vinegar all tout a beneficial impact on your gut.
The oral, gut and vaginal microbiome all play an important role in optimal fertility.
As part of our Fab Fertile Method, we utilize cutting-edge functional testing that helps to identify infections and replenish beneficial bacteria in the gut and vaginal microbiome.
Optimizing the health of the vagina and womb is essential to guard against infection to ensure a conducive environment for fertilization and implantation.
Plus, when we reduce inflammation, this helps both egg and sperm health.
So how do we optimize our microbiome as we prepare for pregnancy success?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) What the studies are telling us about gut health for both male and female fertility
2) Why this blood marker is key to addressing inflammation, and why this matters for anyone on the fertility journey
3) Nutrition and supplement recommendations to improve the gut microbiome

Mon, 03 Apr 2023 - 48min - 392 - Why This Deficiency Can Negatively Impact Egg Health and Sperm Health
We’re digging into how to choose the right Vitamin D as you prepare for your baby.
Over 1 billion people are deficient in this essential hormone. It is so important for immune function, bone health, inflammation reduction and much more.
Vitamin D also plays a crucial role in fertility for both men and women.
When you are low in this hormone, the research supports that it is a marker for reduced fertility.
We see levels in the single digits and teens for couples on the fertility journey.
Supplementing is essential (with regular testing), and addressing why it’s low in the first place will help to optimize the levels.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) Why Vitamin D is essential for egg and sperm health
2) What the research is telling us about pregnancy rates with vitamin D levels
3) Functional levels for Vitamin D and how to know if your current level is optimal
4) Reasons for low Vitamin D (i.e. thyroid, autoimmunity, high cortisol, gut infections etc.)
5) How much Vitamin D we need for optimal fertility, and what type of vitamin D (i.e. common mistakes with type and dosing)

Mon, 27 Mar 2023 - 41min - 391 - How To Regulate The Menstrual Cycle, Improve Cervical Mucus, Promote Ovulation and Optimize Sperm Health

What if there was something that could help with the following:
- Improve hormone production
- Assist with cervical mucous production

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 - 35min - 390 - How to Improve Egg Quality, Sperm Quality and Pregnancy Rates
We’re digging into CoQ10 and how it can help with fertility.
Before discovering the power of nutrition and targeted supplements, the only vitamins I had taken were Flintstone vitamins (yep, the ones filled with dyes and sugar).
I thought I only needed daily vitamins if I was deficient in something.
Turns out, there are vitamins and minerals that we simply can’t get from food.
Nutritional imbalances can cause many symptoms that we don’t recognize as being from a vitamin or mineral deficiency.
Optimizing your health prior to conception is essential.
What if there was something you could do to support egg quality, sperm health and pregnancy rates?
CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant that helps decrease inflammation, which is essential for pregnancy.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) What studies say about this antioxidant and how it can improve embryo quality with diminished ovarian reserve
2) Egg and sperm health improvements and fertilization rates
3) The difference between ubiquinone and ubiquinol and what the studies tell us for someone who is TTC
4) Diet sources for this CoQ10

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 - 35min - 389 - Stop Wasting Time and Money Taking The Wrong Fertility Supplements
We’re digging into how to select the correct fertility supplements.
Figuring out which supplements to take to optimize fertility may have you feeling overwhelmed.
Many supplements can actually harm our fertility.
They can have fillers, binders, synthetic ingredients, dyes, preservatives and chemical additives.
Also, many supplements contain top allergens like gluten, soy and dairy that can impede the chances of pregnancy success.
So what are the foundational supplements for fertility, and how do we select a product that is right for us?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) Foundational supplements to enhance both male and female fertility
2) Which supplement helps with egg quality, reduces the risk of early miscarriage and helps with the production of healthy sperm
3) Supplements that help with sperm quality and motility
4) How this supplement can balance estrogen for women and testosterone for men - plus increase libido for both sexes.

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 - 38min - 388 - Why Addressing These Little Glands Matters for Egg Health and Even POI
We’re digging into why addressing adrenal dysfunction matters when TTC.
As I write this late in the evening, making sure I don’t miss my podcast deadline, I’m reminded that I used to push myself to the limits ALL the time.
I consider myself dependable, loyal, honest and someone who gets stuff done.
But getting stuff done (although it’s my superpower) has also compromised my health. I pushed myself too much and didn’t listen to my body.
I was diagnosed with POI over 25 years ago, and the conventional medicine approach still tells us donor eggs are our only option and to get hormone replacement therapy ASAP.
I had no idea until years later that the chronic stress (mental, emotional and biochemical) was destroying my fertility.
What I know for sure is there are specific changes you can take right now to address your health and kick-start your fertility.
Let’s learn how to optimize two little glands that influence your egg health, mood, energy, immunity and POI.
Katy Bradbury is our clinical advisor 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.
Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist from the UK.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What the adrenals have to do with fertility (there are differences between adrenal fatigue and HPA dysfunction)
2) Signs of adrenal dysfunction and some potential causes
3) The impact of the adrenals on the thyroid
4) MTHFR and the adrenals (how to support methylation)
5) Diet/lifestyle and supplement recommendations to support the adrenals and improve egg health and fertility

We’re digging into improving pregnancy success (even when you’ve been told donor eggs are your only hope).
I know you want to have your baby this year.
You’ve probably already done so much.
It may feel like IVF is your only next step but pumping your body full of hormones without addressing preconception health for both partners only WASTES TIME.

Avoid spending money on fad diets, fertility teas, fertility herbs, and supplements (without knowing if these will truly help your fertility) Get access to cutting-edge testing, so you know the exact steps to improve your fertility Get our proven nutrition plan and lifestyle strategy (which keeps you and your partner on track to optimize preconception health) Get mindset strategies that help visualize a positive outcome (even when your doctor says your chances are low), etc.Not only will I give you the plan to help you optimize pregnancy success…
But I’ll also give you the exact method our clients use to get pregnant with their own eggs when they have diminished ovarian reserve or premature ovarian insufficiency/failure.
Sound good?
If so, email me at hello@fabfertile.ca with - ‘FERTILE’ in the subject.
I’ll give you some information on what I have and probably ask you questions to ensure we’re a fit.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) The exact diet plan our clients follow to improve pregnancy success
2) Why focusing on egg health wastes time and healing opportunities doctors miss

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 - 35min - 386 - How To Improve IVF Success with Low AMH/High FSH
We’re digging into how to know if IVF is your next best step to improve your chances of pregnancy success.
I know firsthand what it’s like to be told that IVF is your only option to have children. In my case, I was diagnosed with POI/POF at 28 and told that I could only have children with donor eggs.
I know that IVF can feel like your next logical step.
You probably feel like you’ve already tried everything. I know that when I dreamed of having my family – it certainly wasn’t with IVF.
And although IVF can be successful – with an average 30% success rate – what about the couple that has 1,2,3,4 or more failed cycles? I see this quite regularly and it is heartbreaking and financially devastating.
So before you commit emotionally and financially to another IVF cycle I want you to know the exact steps you can take to improve your chances of pregnancy success.
This episode is for you if:
You want to prepare your body naturally for pregnancy but you have no idea how to fast-track your chances of pregnancy success. You are ready to get pregnant and have your baby and think IVF is your next best option but you want to know how to increase your chances of a successful transfer. You have low AMH/high FSH and you’ve already experienced failed IVF, cancelled cycles or been told you are a poor responder, but you’ve been told IVF is your only option to conceive.In this episode you'll learn:
- How to improve pregnancy success when IVF seems to be your only option. You’ve already tried everything! I discuss what we see conventional medicine regularly misses so that you can address missed healing opportunities. How to stop wasting time! I know you may already feel like you are panicking about getting pregnant. Top time wasters that I see when you are on the fertility journey. How to know if it is time to start IVF. How to get your partner on board with the changes and optimize your chances of a successful IVF.

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 - 29min - 384 - How Eczema & Other Skin Conditions Can Impact Pregnancy Success
We’re digging into eczema and why this matters when you are TTC.
I had eczema when I was a baby, and then it flared up in my teens. I remember having itchy eyelids, my lips were allergic to every type of lip balm (they were always cracked and dry), and the skin folds of my arms were red and raw from all my scratching.
I tried every type of cream, but nothing helped. I used hydrocortisone cream for years and saw many dermatologists, but no one could figure out why I had eczema.
As you may know, I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency at 28.
Fast forward to working on my health. My eczema disappeared when I addressed food sensitivities, gut infections, and chronic stress. No creams required.
The health of the skin is a direct reflection of the health of the gut.
If you have acne, skin rashes, dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis and are TTC, this is a clue to dig deeper.
Rushing to IVF without addressing your health doesn’t make sense. You’ll waste time and money. However, if you work on your health, you’ll either get pregnant naturally, or if you choose IVF, you’ll increase your chances of implantation and successful pregnancy.
Today I’m welcoming Dr. Ana-Maria Temple. Dr. Temple is a pediatrician specializing in children’s wellness. Her mission is to change kids' and families' lives through clinical work and education. Check out her book: Ending the Eczema Epidemic: Surprising Solutions to Transforming Your Skin from Within.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why eczema in babies can be linked to the health of the mother, and what can be done to prevent it
2) Why chronic disease begins in the womb and how to optimize preconception health before conception eczema, asthma, seasonal allergies, ear infections, ADHD and anxiety in children
3) The hidden root cause of chronic eczema (i.e. leaky skin)
4) How do food sensitivities trigger skin rashes (i.e. foods to avoid and foods to add)

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 - 54min - 383 - Why Working On Your Stress Really Matters For Pregnancy Success
We’re digging into how and why addressing stress with the HeartMath methodology can help when TTC.
Like many of you, I stopped setting new year’s resolutions and instead focus on intentions.
Daily practices are so foundational for my sanity. Such as having a good sleep, getting outside once a day, eating food that makes me feel great and talking to friends or family members.
But what happens when we still feel stressed? Because life is busy and stress IS part of the equation.
I know I’m stressed when I get too serious, am easily angered or feel super impatient.
I know you want to have your baby in 2023. That’s why you’re reading this right now.
What if all that stress you were dealing with was impacting your chances? And no, I’m not going to tell you just to relax.
But what if there was a quick and easy method you could use each day that helps to move you from producing cortisol to producing DHEA?
Samantha Coffin and Fatima Shaikh are part of my team at Fab Fertile. They are 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. Samm and Fatima are fertility coaches.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How HeartMath can improve your stress response, which directly impacts cortisol and improves DHEA
2) Case studies with HeartMath at fertility clinics (i.e. how the HeartMath method helped participants feel more centered and calm)
3) Depletion to Renewal Plan - how emotions impact cortisol/DHEA and quick techniques that can help you move from frustration and impatience to calm, peaceful and happy

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 - 47min - 382 - Why This Antioxidant Can Support Reproductive Health For Men And Women
We’re digging into why focusing on mitochondrial health is essential for fertility.
I know you may be taking supplements to improve your fertility. After all, diet and lifestyle changes alone are not enough to optimize reproductive health.
Our Fab Fertile Method includes testing, and we develop a targeted protocol including foundational supplements and more. This is for a specific time, so you know why you’re taking the supplement and what area of the body we are targeting.
I want to introduce you to an antioxidant that can help protect your mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the cell's powerhouses, making them essential for successful fertilization, proper embryo implantation and development.
This antioxidant is essential for reproductive health and supports immunity, energy, stamina, mental focus, and skin and hair health.
Today I’m welcoming Ken Swartz. Ken is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Purple Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
1) What is C60? What are the studies telling us? Why does this matter for someone who is TTC?
2) How C60 supports mitochondria health, thyroid, gut health, adrenal insufficiency and way more
3) How to source quality C60
4) Why taking C60 daily can support fertility and a new product called C60 Sexy that can be used for couples massage and improving libido.

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 - 54min - 381 - How To Know For Certain If You Need To Eliminate Gluten When You Are TTC
We’re 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 donor eggs. Years later I discovered food sensitivities, gut infections and chronic stress were 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 (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 https://www.fabfertilestore.com/

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 - 43min - 380 - 3 Factors That May Be Holding You Back From Pregnancy and How To Fast Track Success
We’re digging into common mistakes we see on the fertility journey.
I started the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast five (5) years ago on January 1, 2018.
In the beginning, I recorded with audio only because the thought of doing video was too intimidating. I like to prepare my episodes beforehand, so I thought it would look weird if I were always referring to my notes.
After recording 383 episodes of the podcast, I’m well past the point of caring what I look like on camera or sound like on audio. The main point is to provide value to you, the listener.
After all, I’m on a mission to spread the word about the power of functional medicine, nutrition, and natural fertility solutions.
I curate each episode with you, the listener, in mind. The topics are endless as the fertility journey impacts all aspects of our lives. I get inspiration from our clients, my followers on social media, and members of the Fab Fertile community.
To date, we have over 760,000 downloads from listeners all over the world.
I am humbled and grateful that you are here and that you spend your precious time listening to each episode. It really does mean the world to me.
So as we begin the New Year, I want you to know that you are not alone. The journey to conceive can take over your life, but can you choose to reframe your experience and trust deep in your heart that your baby's soul is here now.
I want you to have a plan for 2023 to improve your chances of pregnancy success.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How to stop wasting time and fast-track pregnancy success (hint: it's not about consuming the latest fertility superfoods or starting fad diets)
2) Why focusing on the basics shifts the needle faster
3) This one theme we see with couples and how it can strain your relationship

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 - 44min - 379 - Fertility Factors Beyond Egg Health: What You Need to Know
We’re digging into why these symptoms matter when you are TTC.
Many times we get myopically focused on egg health and miss all the other symptoms that may be contributing to our fertility diagnosis.
Our body wants to procreate, but right now, it may be under attack by seemingly healthy foods, gut infections, environmental toxins and more.
We can research and figure out what worked for someone else or take a targeted approach and determine what is right for our bodies.
With a targeted approach, you can get pregnant naturally or increase your chances of pregnancy success with your eggs.
This episode is for you:
1. You know there is a reason why it’s not working, but no one has run the tests to figure out why (hint, it’s not about focusing on egg quality)
2. You want to get pregnant naturally, but you were told that IVF is your only option, and it has you second-guessing your decision
3. You are moving to IVF in the next 3-6 months and want to improve your chances of it working.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) The top symptoms and themes we see with low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency and diminished ovarian reserve so that you can improve pregnancy success
2) Why IVF may not be your next best step and how to know when it is right for you
3) How to optimize your chances of a successful IVF after failed, cancelled or being told you are a “poor responder”

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 - 32min - 378 - HeartMath: A Simple Technique for Managing Stress When TTC
We’re digging into the research on how to manage stress with heart rate variability.
We all know that stress matters when we are TTC.
But how do we quickly identify and address the stressors in our lives?
Right now, you may be meditating, visualizing, practicing breathwork, doing yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, acupuncture and more to reduce stress.
And while we like all of those modalities, and we can use them to move us from the sympathetic (fight or flight) to the parasympathetic (rest and digest), many of these techniques may not be truly effective.
You can meditate and still experience an incoherent heart rate because you may be dealing with frustration, impatience, anger, and sadness that keeps you stuck in a pattern that drives cortisol production.
That’s why we love this simple technique that uses heart-focused breathing that moves us from stressed to calm in only a few minutes. And when done consistently, we can see improvements in energy, sleep, focus, calmness, anxiety and depression.
Today I’m excited to welcome Sheva Carr to the podcast. Sheva is the Founding CEO of Fyera! / Heart Ambassadors, the Fyera Foundation, and a Co-Director of HeartMath Healthcare and HeartMath’s Heart Mastery program.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) Why heart rate variability is crucial for hormonal balance
2) How to move from a stress response to a relaxation response using a simple yet powerful technique
3) What research tells us about this technique and why it is so effective for overall health (i.e. 25 years of research and over 400 peer-reviewed studies)
4) How we can move from impatience to trusting our intuition that everything is working for us

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 - 50min - 377 - How To Know If Burnout Is Impacting Your Ability To Get Pregnant with Dr. Rajka Milanovic Galbraith
We’re digging into identifying and recovering from burnout when you are on the fertility journey.
Chronic stress and burnout can sneak up on us, especially when we are in the middle of a struggle.
The fertility journey can impact our lives, including social interactions, relationships, careers, joy and intimacy.
You may be feeling overwhelmed with all the expectations and obligations.
When women were asked, “What is burnout?” as research for the book, Burnout by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski, not one person said, “I don’t know what that is!” Everyone said, “Burnout, yes, I’ve experienced that before.”
You may struggle with constant sickness (i.e. colds and flu), irregular menstrual cycles, insomnia, headaches and more.
Because when you are chronically stressed, your digestion slows, your immune function shifts, and ultimately your reproductive health suffers.
So how do we identify and recover from burnout to prepare for pregnancy success?
Today I’m welcoming Dr. Rajka Milanovic Galbraith back to the podcast. Dr. Rajka has successfully led families to optimal health for over two decades as a board-certified Family Medicine doctor. She is now exclusively a leading Functional Medicine Consultant certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) The themes we see with women who have burnout and are TTC
2) How burnout impacts our reproductive health
3) How to regulate your thoughts, behaviours and daily actions
4) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to reverse burnout

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 - 46min - 376 - Did your mom know best? Is liver really good for your health and fertility? with Nora DeBora
We’re digging into why eating liver can help when you are TTC.
I remember my mom frying up liver on the stove when I was a kid (she would now cringe at this because she’s been a vegan for 35 years!). The smell made me gag, and I would run and hide in the other room so I didn’t have to eat it.
I recently tried it again, sautéed with onions and spices. I ate the liver by itself – nope still hate it! But then we made liver pate. Definitely tasted better, but still an acquired taste.
Organ meats and liver in particular, are making a comeback. Liver is among the most nourishing foods on the planet, especially if it’s sourced from a grass-fed, well-treated animal.
How do we know if consuming liver is right for us as we prepare for pregnancy? And what can we do if we hate the taste?
Today I’m excited to welcome Nora DeBora to the podcast. Nora is a Preconception Health Coach, Holistic Nutritionist and Fertility Awareness Practitioner.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What we need to know about liver when we are TTC
2) But isn’t the liver toxic? That’s where all the toxins go. How do we know if organ meat is right for us?
3) What type of liver to consume
4) If you hate the taste of liver, check out our go-to supplement here

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 - 36min - 375 - How To Successfully Navigate The Holiday Season While TTC
We’re digging into how to navigate the holiday season when we’re on the fertility journey.
The holiday season can be filled with triggers and well-meaning (but clueless people) asking, “When will you start a family?” or “Are you pregnant yet?”
How do we handle an invitation we don’t want to attend? Or what about the person that posts a steady stream of holiday pictures of their kids? Can we really unfollow them?
As we may know, stress is a sneaky thing. Sometimes it sneaks up on us. And next thing you know, you’re breaking down at the holiday party or telling the cashier your whole fertility journey.
So how do we navigate the season on our terms? With a plan that feels right for us.
Plus, what if hidden stressors were contributing to your hormonal imbalance that, once rectified, could increase your chances of pregnancy success?
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What to do about triggers, holiday party invitations, and feeling stuck in comparison. How to get honest about our stress so we can see a clear path forward to expanding our family.
2) How to get out of flight or flight mode and move to rest and digest. Plus, how to know if you’re in burnout.
3) Recognize your biochemical stressors (i.e. blood sugar, thyroid imbalance, food sensitivities, gut infections, etc.) that impact your neurotransmitters. When your hormones are out of balance, it can affect your mood, leading to anxiety/depression and less resilience. Strategies to help identify triggers so that you can begin to thrive.
4) Pregnancy success stories to motivate you to know having a healthy baby is possible for you when you take a targeted approach.

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 - 37min - 374 - Would quitting your job help you to get pregnant faster?
We’re digging into why quitting your job may be your next step when you are TTC.
Working on your mental health and reducing stress is a common recommendation when trying to conceive.
And sometimes this can be easier said than done. If you could reduce stress by yourself, you already would have done it.
A main source of stress can be the job. Whether it’s the high pressure, demanding schedule, long work hours, or constantly feeling on call.
Often we can stay in a job that we’ve outgrown because looking for a new job when we are TTC doesn’t make sense.
So how can our job better serve us while preparing for our baby? And how do we know when to hand in our resignation?
Samantha Coffin is part of my team 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. Samm is a mindset and wellness coach.
Samm is a wellness and mindset coach supporting people's transitions from a life full of surviving to THRIVING! Samm herself lives with celiac, Lyme, endometriosis, and PCOS.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Patterns we see with couples that are TTC concerning work/life balance
2) How would a baby fit into your life right now? We discuss tips to have you consider where you need to pull back
3) How to visualize your life with your baby and make the necessary changes BEFORE they arrive, letting the universe know you are ready

We’re digging into common mistakes we see on the fertility journey.
As we come to the end of the year, I want you to have a plan for 2023 so that you can have your baby.
I know you may have made many diet/lifestyle changes already. You may have experienced failed IVF cycles, been labeled a poor responder, or been told that donor eggs are your only option.

That’s why I developed the Fab Fertile Method. I don’t want you to struggle as I did.

This episode is for you:
You’ve tried everything, and nothing has worked
You’re not sure what to do for 2023 to optimize your fertility
You feel like IVF may be your next step, but you really want to get pregnant naturally
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The top 8 mistakes we see with low AMH/high FSH so you can fast track your pregnancy success
2) Why AMH is a poor predictor of pregnancy success and what you need to focus on instead
3) Why this strategy to help your hormones is often prescribed, but what it misses
4) Why going to IVF too early can set you back and how to know when it is time for IVF

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 - 35min - 372 - Could a sluggish liver be holding you back from getting pregnant?
We’re digging into how to improve liver health and what you need to know when you are TTC.
We’ve all heard of a liver cleanse or detox and how important it is to have an optimally functioning liver. Think of cayenne-infused lemon water, consuming apple juice with olive oil and Epsom salts. However, before you start preparing these concoctions, they may not be right for you.
It’s more about supporting your liver rather than cleansing or detoxing it.
If your liver is not functioning properly, it may be unable to remove estrogen from your body. This leads to estrogen reabsorption, which results in hormone imbalance.
Some signs of a sluggish liver include fatigue, headaches, poor digestion, cravings, weight gain around the middle and more.
So how do we get our liver in tip-top shape to balance hormones and get pregnant naturally?
Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team 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.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why a healthy liver is important when you are TTC
2) Which genetic variants are tied to the liver (and how to support those gene variants so you can optimize liver function)
3) Symptoms of poor liver function and specific blood markers to review to ensure they are in the optimal range
4) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations for a healthy liver

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 - 51min - 371 - How to Address Hyperthyroidism or Graves' to Improve Pregnancy Outcomes with Dr. Eric Osansky
We’re digging into the hyperactive thyroid and Graves’ disease and what this means when TTC.
One of the main themes we see with low AMH and or high FSH is thyroid dysfunction.
You may have been told your TSH is normal, but no one has run a full thyroid panel.
Or you are currently taking thyroid medication, but you had no idea there were targeted lifestyle changes you need to make alongside the medication to improve its efficacy.
An optimal thyroid is essential for a successful pregnancy.
And both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can impact ovulation.
We commonly see Hashimoto’s with low AMH/high FSH and now we are seeing Graves’ too.
Before you are dismissed and told that everything is normal, don’t take no for an answer.
Medical gaslighting is real and we see this ALL the time with thyroid health.
Let’s learn more about hyperthyroidism and Graves’ and their impact on fertility.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why it is important to balance the thyroid when you are TTC
2) The difference between hyperthyroid and hypothyroid and how they impact fertility - What is Graves disease?
3) Role of reverse T3 and why you don’t want this marker to be too high
4) Adrenal function and the link between stress and thyroid health
5) The link between mineral imbalance and thyroid health (i.e. iron, zinc, copper)
6) Diet and lifestyle recommendations to improve thyroid function

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 - 55min - 370 - How This Easy At-Home Test Can Improve Pregnancy Success with Khaled Kteily
We’re digging into at-home semen testing and why this can help when TTC.
Although we specialize in complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve, and premature ovarian insufficiency, more couples are coming to us with both female and male factor infertility.
The Fab Fertile Method is effective at addressing both male and female fertility conditions.
Even if the male partner tells us his semen analysis is fine, we always include a blood chemistry review and a review of his semen analysis using functional reference ranges (these are or optimal levels – so it flags it earlier before it goes to disease) to ensure no healing opportunities have been missed.
So many women are making all the diet and lifestyle changes and the male partner may be supportive and willing to change – but he may not know what can be done to optimize his fertility.
That is why we coach couples. It’s not only about getting the female healthy for pregnancy – the male partner must be included to increase the chances of getting pregnant naturally.
But let's face it: what male relishes the process of getting a semen analysis?
Imagine if there was a way he could avoid the uncomfortable and often expensive experience of leaving a sample at the doctor's office or fertility clinic and reliably test his fertility without leaving your home.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Differences between an in-office semen analysis and an at-home test kit
2) The markers that could be missed in the doctor’s kit and what matters when you are TTC
3) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to improve semen quality

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 - 35min - 369 - Why An Iron Deficiency Matters When TTC and How To Improve Pregnancy Success with Katy Bradbury
We’re digging into iron panels and what you need to know when you are TTC.
So many of us may be experiencing amenorrhea, anovulation (the lack of ovulation), poor egg health, ovulatory disorder, and miscarriage, but has anyone checked the full iron panel?
Iron deficiency or anemia can be a sign to dig deeper when trying to conceive.
Whether you are feeling exhausted or experiencing weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, or cold hands or feet – it may be a sign of iron deficiency.
So how do we address iron deficiency to improve our chances of pregnancy success?
Katy Bradbury is part of my team 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.
Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist whose mission is to improve women’s chances of having healthy babies and raising happy children. Having experienced her struggles with fertility, a traumatic birth, and bonding issues, Katy knows just how important this support is.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Symptoms of low iron and why this matters for fertility
2) Functional reference ranges for the iron panel (hint: a conventional physician may have told you that your iron ranges are “normal” – but has a healing opportunity been missed?)
3) Reasons WHY your iron markers are out of balance (i.e. gut infections, autoimmunity, low stomach acid and more)
4) Medications and foods that interfere with iron absorption
5) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to improve iron markers

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 - 46min - 368 - How To Honor Your Miscarriage As You Prepare To Try Again To Conceive with Nichole Causey
We’re digging into the energetics of miscarriage and how to begin healing when you are TTC.
The fertility journey can leave us feeling anxious, impatient, frustrated, and sad, and it can bring out our inner control freak.
It can also bring us to our knees if we’ve experienced miscarriage, pregnancy loss or stillbirth.
How do we trust that the universe, God or higher power was working for us the moment we started trying for our baby?
How do we honor our fertility journey through a spiritual lens?
I’m excited to welcome back Nichole Causey to the podcast. Nichole is a Reiki Master who specializes in manifestation, self-love, confidence, trusting your intuition, and fulfilling desires.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The energy you may be feeling right now and how it may be digging up things we have swept under the rug or failed to address the first time.
2) How to deal with anxiety during the fertility journey. Either before pregnancy and during early pregnancy
3) Our timeline versus spiritual timeline
4) How do we view miscarriage from a spiritual perspective
5) We take you through a ceremony to honor miscarriage, pregnancy loss and stillbirth and commemorate your child.

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 - 47min - 367 - Why Protecting Yourself From EMFs Matters When TTC
We’re digging into why protecting yourself from EMFs matters when you are TTC.
Whether it's our cell phone, computer, WiFi, microwave, house energy smart meters, or TV – we are surrounded by EMFs.
It’s not about living in fear.
It’s about what we can to protect ourselves and our fertility.
“Toxins are everywhere, our air, water, and food are polluted, and electrosmog is present in our everyday life. It has become more important than ever to protect yourself from negative influences, frequencies, and radiation and make sure that your body’s vital powers are active and that you have enough positive energy to feel good each day”.
Many EMF protective brands are on the market, but my favourite is Leela Quantum Tech. They are the real deal, and have the research to back it up.
I love the Leela H.E.A.L. Capsule. It protects me from 3G, 4G, 5G, WiFi and microwaves, plus it helps with my productivity, gives me better sleep and makes me feel quite calm. It actually transmits quantum energy so you can charge your water and food (I know this sounds crazy, but we’re all made of energy, so not so far out there after all).
Today I’m excited to welcome Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling to the podcast. Philipp is a conscious entrepreneur, alternative health ambassador, and energy healer. The conscious businesses he's founded are Leela Labs, manufacturer and distributor of C60, and Leela Quantum Tech, which provides quantum energy and frequency products to support health and well-being.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How to protect ourselves from EMF when we are on the fertility journey
2) Symptoms we might experience from EMF exposure
3) Common sources of EMFs and different options to protect ourselves
4) How EMF protection impacts heart rate variability

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 - 42min - 366 - Are You Well Fed But Malnourished? Why This Matters If You Are TTC
We’re digging into digestion and why this matters when you are TTC.
Many of us are consuming all the right foods. Eating lots of fat, getting our daily veggies and generally eating a healthy diet.
But what if you are well-fed but malnourished?
We see this a lot with couples who are trying to conceive.
It is essential that you actually absorb the nutrients that you eat so that you can have the proper vitamins and minerals, proteins and fat to create a healthy baby.
So how can we make sure all those healthy foods are being properly absorbed?
Caitlin Townsend is part of my team 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.

1) Top 5 tips to optimize digestion so that you can improve pregnancy success
2) Why low stomach acid may be impeding your ability to absorb essential nutrients required for pregnancy
3) Why gas, bloating, burping is not normal and how to address these common symptoms so that you can optimize fertility

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 - 38min - 365 - Why An Abundance Mindset Matters When You Are TTC
We’re digging into how to cultivate an abundance mindset when you are TTC.
Getting stuck in a scarcity mindset on the fertility journey is easy. After all, a well-meaning physician may have told you that your AMH is too low, your FSH is too high, IVF is your only chance (and even then, there is a small chance of it working ), or that donor eggs are your only option.
This can leave us feeling:
Stuck in comparison
Easily triggered
Impatient
Panicked
Angry
Frustrated
Sad
All of these emotions are entirely normal. Let that sink in. No judgment is needed.
What if we could look at our journey to conceive in a new light?
There is tons of research that displays the power of having an abundance mindset.
People with an abundance mindset are:
Happy for others
More likely to embrace change
Grateful and appreciative
Not resentful of missed opportunities because they know more are coming
Aware that there is enough to go around and they are worthy
So how do we cultivate an abundance mindset and keep the scarcity mindset at bay?
Samantha Coffin is part of my team 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. Samm is a mindset and wellness coach.
Samm is a wellness and mindset coach supporting people's transitions from a life full of surviving to THRIVING! Samm herself lives with celiac, Lyme, endometriosis, and PCOS.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why cultivating an abundance mindset matters when you are TTC.
2) How to finally leave behind the scarcity mindset and visualize pregnancy success
3) Five (5) practices to incorporate into your daily routine that can rewire your neurological pathways so you can tap into peace and joy during the TTC journey.
4) How to let go of the panic, go with the flow (yes, releasing the PLAN can be scary, but the pathway to abundance) and understand your body wants to procreate

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 - 49min - 364 - How To Optimize Pregnancy Success When You Have Been Diagnosed With Cancer
We’re digging into what to do if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer while on the fertility journey and how to prevent cancer.
I have received many requests to provide information about navigating a cancer diagnosis while trying to conceive.
Many of us have been touched by cancer, perhaps through a personal diagnosis or by a family member, friend, or colleague diagnosed with the disease. A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience and challenges individuals in ways sometimes hard to imagine.
Conventional medicine tells us that chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are the only treatment options.
While those options may be right for some, there are alternatives that we can consider.
It can be incredibly confusing to know where you can start to optimize pregnancy success after or during a cancer diagnosis.
This episode of Get Pregnant Naturally is a call to action.
If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer and are trying to conceive or know someone with cancer, please share this episode.
Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy. Dr. Connealy is a prominent leader in the Integrative & Functional Medicine medical field. She is the medical director of two amazing clinics “The Cancer Center for Healing” & “Center for New Medicine”. Her clinics have seen over 47,000 patients and continue to grow. is the author of two books, The Cancer Revolution and Be Perfectly Healthy.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) Recommendations for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer or finished treatment when they are ready to TTC
2) Risks with fertility treatment (IVF) for someone with a history of breast cancer and cancer
3) Thyroid cancer and where to start in preparing for pregnancy success
4) Biomarkers for early cancer detection and prevention
5) Top suggestions for cancer prevention and the final word on thermography vs. mammography

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 - 57min - 363 - 7 Tips To Heal Childhood Trauma When On The Fertility Journey
We’re digging into how childhood trauma can impact the fertility journey.
Our Fab Fertile Method takes a mind, body, and spirit approach to improve pregnancy success.
A theme we see with low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency and diminished ovarian reserve is childhood trauma.
Whether it's experiencing flashbacks, anxiety, depression, anger or issues with trust, childhood trauma can have a lasting impact on our health.
We may consciously or unconsciously use alcohol, overeating/undereating, shopping or zoning out in front of the television and more as coping mechanisms.
That’s why identifying and working through these hard emotions can help to reclaim control and acknowledge and recognize trauma.

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 - 53min - 362 - Why This Is My Top Suggestion For Anyone On The Fertility Journey
We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success.
The first place we start with the couples in our Fab Fertile Couples Coaching Program is the elimination diet.
It is the gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity, and we have BOTH partners do the elimination diet (it is not just about you changing your diet).
It takes two to have a baby!
While the majority of couples that I speak with tell me they are eating a “clean” diet, most have not done the elimination diet.
Food sensitivity is a stressor on the body and must be addressed (we see so many people get this wrong). If your body is mounting an immune response to your favourite foods, this causes inflammation.
When your body is under attack from seemingly healthy foods (or even not-so-healthy foods), it wants to survive, not to procreate.
Figuring out the diet that is RIGHT for you is essential when you are trying to conceive.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) Is your infertility a symptom of something else going on in your body (Hint – digestive issues, skin problems, mood problems, joint issues and autoimmunity are ALL clues).
2) What is a leaky gut, and why this matters if you are TTC.
3) Which foods to avoid during the elimination. How to reintroduce the foods (this part is crucial).
4) Which foods will you eat (it is NOT about starving or drinking green juice).
5) How to commit and actually start the elimination diet. Gluten light/dairy light do NOT work.
6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you during an elimination diet.

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 - 43min - 361 - How EMDR Can Help During The Fertility Journey
We’re digging into how EMDR can help improve pregnancy success.
The fertility journey can be filled with triggers, heartbreak and frustration.
A theme we see with couples on the fertility journey is trauma.
We often see childhood trauma (i.e. physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical neglect. emotional neglect. mental illness, divorce and substance abuse).
We especially see the trauma that results from the fertility diagnosis and visualizing a different path to parenthood.
This can result in unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and physical symptoms such as nausea or headaches.
That’s why I’m including a referral partner for EMDR as part of our Fab Fertile Method. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps to heal from emotional distress that stems from painful and traumatic life experiences.
Today I’m excited to welcome Tess Davies to the podcast. Tess is a Licensed Social Worker who provides telehealth therapy specializing in helping individuals heal from trauma. Her approach is humanistic, client-centred and utilizes evidenced-based trauma treatment modalities, including EMDR, Attachment-Focused EMDR, and Cognitive Processing Therapy, in addition to somatic and experiential-focused methods. She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher and often pulls from the practice of Yoga in her therapy practice.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How EMDR can be beneficial for someone on the fertility journey
2) The 8 phases of EMDR therapy and how this can help improve pregnancy success
3) What credentials to look for before you hire an EMDR therapist

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 - 40min - 360 - How To Easily Track Hormones At Home So You Can Improve Pregnancy Success
We’re digging into how tracking our hormones can help improve pregnancy success.
Tracking our hormones can be confusing, triggering and frustrating (sometimes all at once).

How do we really know our hormone status without spending time getting blood drawn every month?
How can knowing our hormone numbers empower us rather than causing additional stress?

In this episode, you'll learn:

2) There are a lot of fertility monitors on the market how is Inito different?
3) How Inito works to accurately predict our peak fertile days

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 - 53min - 358 - Why Your Blood Chemistry Matters and How To Improve Your Markers When You Are TTC
We’re digging into what your blood chemistry results mean for your fertility.
You may have been told that your blood work is “normal.” Or you may have been told that some markers are out of balance.
Sometimes medication can be given to bring these markers into balance, but typically there is no strategy to address WHY there is an imbalance in the first place.
This can lead to frustration and confusion. You may even feel like IVF is your only hope.
However, moving ahead to IVF without addressing these critical healing opportunities can lead to failed cycles, cancelled cycles due to poor response, and an increased risk of miscarriage.
As part of our Fab Fertile Method, we include a blood chemistry review. This review is to educate, not to diagnose and helps us develop a targeted ACTION plan so that you can improve your chances of pregnancy success with your own eggs.
Justine 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 need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) The difference between conventional and functional reference ranges and why this matters as you are preparing for pregnancy success
2) We take you through the blood chemistry review and highlight themes we see with the couples we work with so that you can improve your preconception health (i.e. glucose, potassium, vitamin D, thyroid, magnesium, B12, and more)
3) How inflammation impacts low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, and diminished ovarian reserve (i.e. High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)
4) MTHFR and how to know if folic acid or methylfolate is right for you

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 - 31min - 357 - 3 Reasons Why Making ALL The Changes While TTC Can Waste Time
We’re digging into what to do next if you’ve already tried all the diet/lifestyle strategies, but they’re not working.
When you're trying to solve a problem - it's tempting to try ALL the things. We naturally assume that doing everything will be better than focusing on one at a time - or get us quicker results.
But doing everything just puts you and your partner in a state of overwhelm and makes it even MORE difficult to identify and solve the real issue.
Then we get frustrated that things aren't working and throw our hands up in despair, assuming that we're just not 'helpable!'
But what have I found, after working with couples in my 1:1 Fab Fertile Coaching Program, to be the number one reason couples aren't getting pregnant naturally?
They're not doing the foundational work needed to identify the problem.
(And spoiler alert - the number 2 issue? Because they don't know the real problem, they're not getting the actual support they need to fix the problem.)
That’s right. So right now, you might feel like you're trying EVERYTHING... and that nothing's working. But you're missing key steps that could help you right now.
And the number one thing that so many of us get wrong is diet.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why fertility trends may be setting you back (i.e. is eating fries after an IVF transfer good for you (final word on this), plus how to know if pineapples, pomegranates and more are suitable for you)
2) Which fertility superfoods you should start eating and what if these superfoods are harming your fertility
3) How to know for sure if the top allergens are a concern for you. Steps you can take right now to optimize pregnancy success, especially if you’ve already tried going gluten and dairy-free.

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 - 27min - 356 - How To Make Sex More Pleasurable When You Are TTC
We’re digging into sexual health and how we can increase intimacy while TTC.
Ultimately what we all want is connection. During the fertility journey, the connection with our partner may be strained, and intimacy can be less about pleasure and more about babymaking.
What if we could reconnect and deepen our connection with our partner? What if truly being present, vulnerable, and sharing was the road to deeper intimacy and better sex life?
We can learn how to create a safe space so we can ask for what we really want in the bedroom. We can move away from the thinking mind and really feel into our body. Being present for what feels good. This can help reduce the stress hormones, which will get us in the perfect space for making our future baby.
But it doesn't have to be all so serious. We’re talking erotica, sex toys, fantasies and everything you need to know to make it fun and steamy between the sheets when you are TTC.
Today I'm excited to welcome Trish Wright to the podcast. Trish is a certified sex and relationship coach.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) What a session with a sex educator looks like so that you can take your sex life to the next level while TTC
2) How to increase sensuality and spirituality in your relationship
3) How to have an agreement on how much you will share with your friends about your sex life
4) Benefits of orgasm for male and female
5) How to normalize self-pleasure (We discuss how to introduce sex toys, erotica and talking to your partner about fantasies)

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 - 52min - 355 - The Dangers of Low-Fat Diets and Why An Optimal Lipid Panel Matters When TTC
We’re digging into lipid panels and what you need to know when you are TTC.
So many of us are afraid of fat. The low-fat craze was a bait and switch tactic to get us addicted to sugar.
We need healthy fats when we are trying to conceive. We’re doing a deep dive into the lipid panel so that you can understand what these markers mean for your fertility.
Even if you’ve been told your cholesterol is perfect or that your triglycerides are in range, we regularly see missed healing opportunities for couples on the fertility journey.
It’s not about myopically focusing on the fertility diagnosis without looking at the body as a whole.
Katy Bradbury is part of my team 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.
Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist whose mission is to improve women’s chances of having healthy babies and raising happy children. Having experienced her own struggles with fertility, a traumatic birth, and bonding issues, Katy knows just how vital this support is.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why optimal lipid markers are so important for pregnancy success
2) The conventional versus the functional approach when cholesterol/triglycerides are out of balance
3) The functional reference ranges for the lipid markers so that you can address missed healing opportunities and improve pregnancy success
4) Potential reasons for the markers being out of balance (i.e. infections, poor thyroid function, toxin exposure, blood sugar, genetic predisposition and more)
5) The markers that matter for elevated risk of heart attack and stroke
6) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations to support a healthy lipid panel

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 - 48min - 354 - How To Look Beyond Your Fertility Diagnosis So You Can Improve Pregnancy Success
We’re digging into why these symptoms matter when you are TTC.
Many times we get myopically focused on egg health and miss all the other symptoms that may be contributing to our fertility diagnosis.
Our body wants to procreate, but right now, it may be under attack by seemingly healthy foods, gut infections, environmental toxins and more.
We can research and figure out what worked for someone else or take a targeted approach and determine what is right for our bodies.
With a targeted approach, you can get pregnant naturally or increase your chances of pregnancy success with your eggs.
This episode is for you:
1. You know there is a reason why it’s not working, but no one has run the tests to figure out why (hint, it’s not about focusing on egg quality)
2. You want to get pregnant naturally, but you were told that IVF is your only option, and it has you second-guessing your decision
3. You are moving to IVF in the next 3-6 months and want to improve your chances of it working.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) The top symptoms and themes we see with low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency and diminished ovarian reserve so that you can improve pregnancy success
2) Why IVF may not be your next best step and how to know when it is right for you
3) How to optimize your chances of a successful IVF after failed, cancelled or being told you are a “poor responder”

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 - 32min - 353 - How This Method Can Help Better Predict Your Fertile Window
We’re digging into the fertility awareness method and how this can help us more accurately track our fertile days.
Many women we work with have irregular cycles, absent cycles, absent cervical mucus, anovulation, excessive or light bleeding with periods, irregular basal body temperature and more.
This can be very frustrating because our menstrual cycle gives us vital clues that tell us a lot about our fertility. And if you’re relying on ovulation predictor kits, you may be missing essential information that can help optimize your preconception health.
The good news is that our clients see dramatic positive changes in their cycle when they implement targeted diet and lifestyle changes outlined in our Fab Fertile Method.
In sexual health class, they certainly never taught us to check our cervical mucus or what our basal body temperature can mean for our health.
Let’s learn how to track our cycle to optimize our chances of pregnancy success.
Luna Hart is an integral part of our Fab Fertile Couples Coaching program which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception.

Luna is a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and fertility awareness method educator.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) The difference between peak and non-peak cervical mucus
2) How to check for cervical mucus
3) How to start tracking your basal body temperature
4) How to accurately track your cycle using our favourite free app
5) What to do if your period is absent or irregular

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 - 50min - 352 - The Benefits of Joy and the Impact on Pregnancy Success
We’re digging into how to be joyful now when you are TTC.
Have you ever thought, “I’ll be happy when I have my baby”?
Chasing happiness can make us feel stuck and take us out of the present moment.
So many of us on the fertility journey have put joy on hold.
We spend our time researching fertility, feeling stuck in comparison and triggered by baby announcements or figuring out how to avoid going to a baby shower.
Setting boundaries is essential (no, you don’t need to attend every baby shower).
However, thinking about a place where you are happy in the future helps you avoid the pain you may be experiencing. It’s a coping mechanism.
But how is this serving you? What if you could release the control? What if you could experience both the good and the bad emotions? You can laugh and cry.
What if you could choose joy now?
Samantha Coffin is part of my team 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 go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Why many of us on the fertility journey have stopped experiencing joy
2) Tips to bring joy into our lives so that we release impatience and cultivate inner peace
3) Why bringing a playful attitude to our can help reduce stress and bring us back to the present moment

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 - 55min - 351 - Why The Connection Between Food and Mood Matters When You Are TTC
We’re digging into the connection between food and mood and why this matters when you are TTC.
We all know that we are what we eat.
But do we really know how food impacts our mood?
For years I was eating food that did not support my body or fertility.
Before I figured out the food/mood connection, I thought I was irritable, cranky and anxious.
As I began understanding exactly how what I place on my fork daily dramatically impacts my state of mind, I no longer feel like I’m on a rollercoaster of emotions.
It’s not about perfection. I’m human, so I still get triggered. Working on my mindset is a daily practice. But now, I can identify that the cane sugar in my gluten-free treat made me feel anxious. That subtle yet powerful shift can mean everything.
Caitlin Townsend is part of my team 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.
In this episode:
1) Why you may not eat enough protein, how it impacts your neurotransmitters and fertility and quick ideas to add protein to every meal.
2) The final word on carbs. Which carbs are right for you?
3) The impact of your gut on your mood and why this is important for fertility.
4) The importance of breakfast (and which foods should you choose to stabilize your blood sugar?). Deregulated blood sugar is a theme that we see with low AMH/high FSH.
5) How to know which fats to eat. Inflammatory fats can hide everywhere & healthy fats are crucial to building hormones.
6) How to eat enough greens and consume foods from the rainbow. Why chocolate may relieve anxiety.
