Through addressing the ROOT CAUSES of infertility...
Blood Sugar Dysregulation
We start here because blood sugar is one of the biggest drivers of messing with your hormones downstream. When we can learn to eat with balance and get our blood sugars under control; we'll feel more energy, have less cravings, increased mental clarity and fuel our body with the macronutrients it needs to thrive.
Gut + Digestive Health
Everything starts in our gut...including our hormones. Many of our hormones, such as estrogen, are eliminated through our bowels, so with poor bowel health we don't eliminate and can have excess buildup of certain hormones. The smooth creation + elimination of our hormones relies on proper digestive and gut health. When we improve the integrity of our gut lining we also maximize the nutrients we can absorb from food which leads us to...
Poor Nutrient + Mineral Status
Our nutrient + mineral status is essential to the proper functioning of all the chemical reactions that happen inside of our bodies. Think of these as the spark plugs for your metabolism. Nutrients + minerals serve as co-factors that allow things to run smoothly. Without them it's like running a car without enough oil in it. Through a food centered approach we can maximize the nutrient and mineral intake allowing our hormonal cascades to run smoother.
Toxic burden + hormone disrupting chemicals
We are surrounded by toxic chemicals in our air, water, food, clothing, personal care products, furniture, cleaning products, homes and soil more than ever. Our liver is responsible for processing these chemicals. Many chemicals can mimick hormones in our body, tricking it into thinking everything is in harmony. I'll teach you how to avoid the riskiest chemicals that are known to affect fertility, and support your livers natural ability to detox from the every day exposures. Through strategic lifestyle changes and choosing conception safe products we will address this infertility root cause.
stress + nervous system dysregulation
Our body MUST feel safe in order to conceive. In order for us to feel safe we have to regulate our nervous systems. In a world where we get too little sleep, work high stress jobs, don't exercise enough, and are constantly exposed to screens and a never ending stream of information via technology, it's no wonder our nervous systems are out of whack. Through practical lifestyle guidance and implementing daily habits to calm our nervous system and become resilient to stressors we can overcome this root cause.
