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

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. 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 help you get pregnant with your eggs.

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

6) Pros and cons of ovulation predictor kits

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.

We’re digging into energy and how to trust that you can get pregnant and have your baby.

The fertility journey can feel like a roller coaster filled with uncertainty, comparison, anger, jealousy and grief.

You can be swept up by overwhelming emotions that leave you feeling powerless and hopeless.

Or you can meet your miracle part way.

That is why our Fab Fertile Method includes the mind, body, and spirit approach.

Because if you don’t truly believe it is possible you’ll be easily distracted and you may fall back into old patterns that no longer serve you.

Are you seeing pregnant bellies everywhere and feeling triggered?

Are you surrounded by pregnancy announcements that leave you feeling happy for them but sad for you?

How can you begin to shift your experience?

What if these are signs showing what is possible for you.

What if you can let go of the plan of how you will have your baby, and instead shift to a deep knowing that the soul of your baby is here now?

Today I’m welcoming back Nichole Causey to the podcast. Nichole is part of the Fab Fertile team and she is a reiki master who specializes in manifestation, self-love, confidence, trusting your intuition, and fulfilling desires.

 

In this episode you'll learn:

1) How the energy of the world right now is impacting your fertility journey.

2) How to deepen communication with your partner so that you can lean on each other as you navigate this journey on your own terms.

3) If someone else has what we want, it is being shown to use for a reason. How to shift our mindset from comparison or jealousy to knowing it can happen for us too.

4) How to let go of the plan of how it will happen for you. Noticing if you are negatively hypnotizing yourself with thought patterns that no longer serve you.

5) How to surrender to divine timing knowing everything will be in perfect order.

We’re digging into autism and why this matters when you are TTC.

Focusing on preconception health is important for your health, postpartum period and the health of your children.

I didn’t focus on my health prior to having my children and my postpartum period was rough. Both my kids have food sensitivities, asthma, ear infections, ADHD and more.

It may feel like we need to rush to the fertility clinic to get pregnant ASAP. After all, the fertility industry tells us that we’re too old, our eggs are too old and that the only option for pregnancy success is IVF.

I believe that knowledge is power.

You are in a very powerful place right now to really focus on your health and address missed healing opportunities that conventional medicine may tell you are normal.

We’re discussing the rising rates of autism in children and what may be causing this increase.

Today I'm excited to welcome Luminara Serdar. Luminara is is an autism recovery expert. She’s trained as a scientist in genetics, cell biology and biochemistry, as a functional nutritionist and holistic healer.

 

In this episode you’ll learn:

1) Why would someone who is trying to conceive be concerned about autism? How to increase our chances of having a healthy baby.

2) The reasons for the increase in autism.

3) The factors that impact autism.

4) The role of food sensitivities, gut infections, heavy metals and nutrient deficiencies.

5) How genetics impact autism.

5) Diet and lifestyle changes to help with autism recovery.

We’re digging into why including your partner on the fertility journey sets you up for success.

Both the male and female partner needs to focus on preconception health to improve pregnancy success.

It’s not about the woman changing everything in her life and no one has even completed a semen analysis.

What we find is that most male partners are very supportive. However, they may not know how to optimize pregnancy success.

Or we see women making all the changes and nagging their partner to take their supplements or change their diet. This leads to frustration for both parties.

How do we join together to create a solid foundation so that we can strengthen our relationship as we prepare for our baby?

 

This episode is for you if your partner is:

1) Ready to make the changes to improve pregnancy health but not sure about next steps

2) Supportive and says he will change his diet/lifestyle but you feel like you're nagging him

3) Dealing with male factor infertility and you have fertility issues too and you don’t know where to start

 

In this episode you'll learn:

1) Specific steps the male partner can take right now

2) How to get your partner on board without cajoling

3) Themes we see with both male and female factor fertility and how to fast track your chances of pregnancy success

We’re digging into how the thyroid impact fertility.

For years I was told my thyroid was “normal”… but my hair was falling out in chunks, my skin looked like a lizard and I had cold feet and hands.

Not until I pushed my doctor to look beyond the TSH did my symptoms begin to improve.

Looking only at the TSH does not give us the whole picture.

If you are struggling to conceive or if you have an ovulation disorder, irregular menstrual cycle, recurrent miscarriage optimizing your thyroid is key.

And yes thyroid medication can be part of the solution but when used alone it is simply a band-aid solution and may not lead to pregnancy success.

I’m here to tell you that medical gaslighting is real. You know your body. Be your own advocate. Get a second opinion. Dig deeper.

Today I’m excited to welcome leading Functional Medicine expert Dr. Amie Hornaman, The Thyroid Fixer.

In this episode you’ll learn:

1) Why thyroid health is important for someone who is struggling with infertility and miscarriage.

2) The factors that inhibit thyroid health and what you can do to minimize your risk.

3) Why we need to look at the full thyroid panel. Why doctors often only look at TSH and claim it is “normal”.

4) The thyroid numbers and levels that are important to look at when you are TTC.

5) What thyroid antibodies really mean for your health and fertility.

6) Which medications can be helpful for thyroid dysfunction and how we can optimize thyroid health so we can improve pregnancy success.

1) How to improve pregnancy success when IVF seems to be your only option. You’ve already tried everything! What conventional medicine regularly misses and how you can address missed healing opportunities.

We’re digging into how the biology of trauma impacts the fertility journey.

If you are like me you can probably take on a lot. I’m a doer. If you want it done call me.

But at what cost to my health?

When I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency at 28 I went straight into action.

I didn’t take any time to grieve.

I didn’t stop to listen to what my body was desperately trying to tell me.

I went straight to donor eggs.

And getting stuff done is my superpower. But what I’ve learned after A LOT of inner reflection is that staying busy to avoid the hard emotions doesn’t work.

They will creep back up at the most inopportune times. Mine turns to anger, irritability, impatience and frustration. I used to visualize a brick wall in front of me and me banging my head against it. I know not the most calming vision.

So how do we reframe the fertility journey and release the trauma so that we can rewire our imbalanced nervous system?

Today I'm welcoming Dr. Aimie Apigian to the podcast and we're digging into how the biology of trauma impacts the fertility journey.

 

In this episode you'll learn:

1) Being on the fertility journey can be traumatic how do we reframe and make a shift so we can improve pregnancy success

2) How do we rewire an imbalanced nervous system (how do we know it's imbalanced, to begin with).

3) The three types of biochemical imbalances and how to know if these are a factor in your specific situation

4) Nutrition deficiencies that you may not know about and why they matter for fertility

5) A somatic exercise that can help to reduce the stress response so you can lean into self-compassion and peace as you optimize your fertility.

We’re digging into pelvic floor health and why this matters if you are TTC.

Our Fab Fertile Method takes a personalized approach to fertility so that we can address missed healing opportunities that uncover the reason why you may be struggling to conceive.

There are many types of stressors that could impact your body, from mental/emotional stress to food sensitivities, gut infections, environmental toxins and structural stress.

Structural stress could be a pinched nerve or back pain, but it also may include pelvic floor dysfunction.

If you are dealing with endometriosis, PCOS, Interstitial cystitis, incontinence, frequent urination, painful sex, constipation, c-section scar tissue and more, addressing your pelvic floor could be a great next step.

Today I’m welcoming Dr. Carolyn Messere. Dr. Messere is a board-certified pelvic floor specialist who now practices functional medicine.

 

In this episode you'll learn:

We’re digging into how emotional eating impacts the fertility journey.

As you may know, optimizing the diet is one of the first steps in our Fab Fertile Method.

But what if you are ready to upgrade your diet and optimize your fertility but you’re an emotional eater?

You may find yourself with a healthy eating plan but then life intervenes and you drown your feelings in a bag of chips or a pint of ice cream.

It can be a vicious cycle filled with guilt and shame that only keeps us stuck and unable to make the diet changes we need to improve preconception health.

 

Today I’m excited to welcome Tricia Nelson to the podcast. Tricia is an internationally acclaimed author, transformational speaker, and Emotional Eating Expert. She lost fifty pounds by identifying and healing the underlying causes of her emotional eating.

 

In this episode you'll learn:

1) Why 98% of diets fail and how to keep to your healthy eating plan that optimizes fertility

2) How to spot the difference between an emotional eater and a food addict

3) How to differentiate between emotional and physical hunger (ie. do you have obsessive food thoughts).

4) How to manage stress without using food as a coping mechanism

We’re digging into the basic supplements you need to know about if you are TTC.

There's a lot of information about which supplements are right for fertility.

And like most women that I speak with you are probably taking A LOT of supplements.

But are these supplements optimizing or harming your fertility?

And taking supplements for years and not really knowing WHY or if they are helpful... doesn’t make sense either!

As you may know, we take a functional approach to fertility and while supplements are included in our customized protocols (which are based on testing) they are only a part of the equation.

There's no magic pill you can take that will out-supplement the basics - such as diet, sleep, movement and stress.

That’s why we wanted to talk about the BASIC supplements that we DO recommend for both men and women so that you don't waste time and money taking the wrong ones.

 

Today I'm welcoming Justine Altman back to the podcast.

Justine is part of my team here at Fab Fertile and a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. 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) How to watch out for dyes, fillers and top allergens in your supplements

2) Our take on generalized fertility supplement recommendations (are they worth your money?) i.e. chaste tree, maca, royal jelly, bee pollen, zinc, iron

3) Our basic supplement recommendations (these are the supplements you need to be taking if you are TTC) - your partner is included too!

4) Our approach with supplements and why they are only part of the equation. We discuss the importance of diet, sleep, exercise and stress so that you can prepare your body in the best way for pregnancy success.

We’re digging into the vaginal microbiome and why this matters when you are TTC.

For years I struggled with yeast infections, urinary tract infections, recurrent bacterial vaginosis (yep, that’s no fun!) and general dysbiosis in my vagina.

I remember one practitioner told me to put some garlic up my vagina (because of its antimicrobial properties). She said to tie a string around the garlic and up it goes. Except (as my handy husband told me later – I should have used a grommet hole in the garlic so I wouldn’t lose the string), because I placed it in my vagina and out came the string and I couldn’t reach the garlic.

I envisioned going to the emergency room having to explain my predicament. Eventually, as I relaxed the garlic came out.

Why do I tell you these stories? Because I want you to know you are not alone! Having a healthy vagina is key to optimizing your fertility.

Infections and imbalance are signals from your body that something is not right! And taking another antibiotic or anti-fungal medication cream is not the solution - it is a band-aid approach.

That’s why if you have experienced endometriosis, miscarriage, thrush, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis and urinary tract infections and more we suggest a vaginal microbiome test.

We like Juno Bio. Use this link (https://www.juno.bio?via=sarah&v=YrXmn4) to save $20 on your test.

 

Today I’m excited to welcome Katy Bradbury to the podcast. Katy is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team at Fab Fertile.

 

In this episode you'll learn:

1) How to know if the vaginal microbiome test is right for you

2) Why optimizing the vaginal microbiome is essential when you are TTC

3) What to do if you experience yeast, UTIs or bacterial vaginosis?

3) Impact of hormones on the vaginal microbiome

4) Passing infections back and forth to your partner and which lubricant is best for your vaginal microbiome.

We’re digging into multiple sclerosis and autoimmune disease while on the fertility journey.

One of the themes we see with our clients is an autoimmune disease. Studies show that over 1/5 of premature ovarian insufficiency cases also have an autoimmune disease. We commonly see women with low AMH/high FSH also presenting with autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s, Celiac, Rheumatoid Arthritis or Multiple Sclerosis. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6885484/)

The conventional approach with autoimmune disease is to prescribe medication without addressing the underlying healing opportunities.

This approach leaves many of us feeling frustrated and without a clear action plan.

What we know after working with our clients is that there are specific strategies that can address autoimmunity and improve the chances of pregnancy success.

 

Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Teri Jaklin to the podcast. Dr. Teri is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, certified in functional medicine, and also holds a certificate in Mind-Body Medicine from Harvard.

 

In this episode you'll learn:

1) What is multiple sclerosis (MS) and why is it important to address when you are TTC

2) The connection with food sensitivities, gut infections and heavy metals with autoimmune disease and MS

3) How exercise therapy can be helpful for MS

4) The belief that we can recover and heal and ultimately conceive

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 we can take a targeted approach and determine what is right for our body.

With a targeted approach, you can get pregnant naturally or increase your chances of pregnancy success with your own eggs.

 

This episode is for you if:

- 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)

- You want to get pregnant naturally but you are being told that IVF is your only option and it has you second-guessing your decision

- You are moving to IVF in the next 3-6 months and want to improve your chances of it actually 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 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”.

We’re digging into toxin-free feminine hygiene products when you are TTC.

One of the quickest changes you can make to reduce toxins in your life is to swap out your menstrual products. Why? Because many of the mainstream conventional disposable products contain harmful ingredients such as plastics, artificial fragrances, adhesives, and chemical gels.

Some of these are inserted directly into your body via your tampon, while all of them are cozying up to one of the most sensitive areas on your entire body!

 

Today I’m excited to welcome Eliana Martel to the podcast. Eliana is the customer support and outreach representative for GladRags. GladRags offers reusable and eco-friendly menstrual products.

 

In this episode you'll learn:

1) The toxins that are found in pads and tampons and why this matters for your fertility

2) Options for disposable tampons and reusables that are toxin-free

3) The difference between menstrual cups and discs and how to know if this is the right option for you

We’re digging into how to trust you are on the right path during the fertility journey.

If you are like me you probably set some New Year's intentions. And then January came along and many of those intentions may have gone out the window.

Let’s face it we place a lot of pressure on ourselves. And all of this pressure can feel heavy and may have you throwing your hands in the air in defeat.

The fertility journey can be difficult. It can impact all areas of our life. We may be filled with uncertainty that can lead to indecision and feeling stuck.

I want you to know there is hope.

I want you to trust that you know your body best.

 

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 that was present for January and what to expect for February

2) How to manifest our desires for 2022. Top tips to start manifesting right now.

3) How to stay grounded. (i.e. this is for you if you feel anxious, impatient or frustrated).

4) Journal prompts to help heal emotional pain/trauma so that you can see a clear path forward towards pregnancy success

5) We pull 3 cards for February – excited to share this with you so you can navigate this journey with peace and confidence.

We’re digging into how to optimize male fertility.

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 for 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 is not only about getting the female healthy for pregnancy – the male partner must be included to increase the chances of getting pregnant naturally.

Excited for you to learn about how the Fab Fertile Method can improve male fertility.

 

I'm excited to welcome Justine Altman back to the podcast.

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.

We're digging into how acupuncture can help with diminished ovarian reserve.

As you may know, we work to support couples with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve and premature ovarian insufficiency to get pregnant naturally or improve their chances of pregnancy success with their own eggs.

When we address the stressors that impact fertility the body comes back into balance, which optimizes fertility.

Acupuncture can support the body as we prepare for pregnancy success if we have diminished ovarian reserve.

 

Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Susan Fox to the podcast. Susan combines traditional Chinese Medicine with functional medicine.

 

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

1) Specific acupuncture points to help improve egg quality

2) How acupuncture supports follicle health

3) Diet and lifestyle recommendations for diminished ovarian reserve
