Feeling overwhelmed by all the chemicals in your products?

You’re not alone! 🌟 Let’s take the first steps together! πŸ‘‡

1️⃣ Step 1: Check the labels of your top 5 most-used products for β€˜fragrance’ or β€˜parfum’. These sneaky phthalates are endocrine disruptors that mess with your hormones. Find alternatives for products with these ingredients!

2️⃣ Need help? Download the EWG Skin Deep app to check product ratings. Aim for products rated 1 or 2.

3️⃣ Assess your plastic use! Plastic water bottles, food storage, and canned foods expose you to BPA, BPS, and BPF.

4️⃣ Switch to glass or stainless steel, avoid microwaving in plastic, and limit canned foods.

I want nothing more than for every woman to feel empowered in their healthcare.πŸ’₯

To know how best they can care for their bodies, improve their health + love their most expansive + authentic lives.

And too often I see ongoing symptoms hold women back from fully showing up or FEELING their best.

Hormone imbalances can lead to so many common symptoms + conditions that don't need to just be accepted and dealt with.

You don't need to accept -
β†’ feeling tired all the time
β†’ having irregular periods
β†’ struggling with your fertility
β†’ hair loss
β†’ acne
β†’ mood swings
β†’ low motivation
β†’ anxiety
β†’ constipation or diarrhea
β†’ gas or bloating
β†’ brain fog

These (and usually so many other things) can ACTUALLY improve.

These 5 tips are very EFFECTIVE starting places WHILE identifying the root cause of imbalance to support longer + more sustainable healing.

If you’re navigating thyroid imbalances and are curious to learn more about supporting your hormones DM me FUTURE + let's chat!

I used to run a fertility program titled, The Fertility Success System.

This name was chosen in large part based on a strategy or naming online courses I read about online.

I thought I was doing what I "should" for the dream I had in bringing this business baby to life.

My ultimate goal has always been to provide more accessible reproductive healthcare to the world.🌎

But over the last year, I have changed... a lot.

My business has changed and my skills have continued to evolve + grow.

The Fertility Success System, in it's direct, masculine, solution-driven nature does not fully encompass the essence of all that my program holds.

So, what IS this program?

It is constantly growing and evolving. But what feels most alive right now in this stage of development is, it is..
t r a n s f o r m a t i o n.

It is tending to all the spaces of what the transformation to motherhood is.

It is blending care from my decade of clinical experience supporting women with menstrual symptoms + couples growing healthy families WITH the deep mental/emotional/spiritual transformations that take place when we become parents.

It is a whole new framework on how to really put into practice the ACTUAL things that can help improve fertility health without continually guessing about what will work.πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

It is root cause medicine in the full sense of the phrase β€” getting to the root of imbalances and supporting there for lasting changes.πŸ‘πŸΌ

Making deep transformations + nourishing the transition that is ... becoming a mother.🀱🏼

I am elated to welcome my newest business baby to the world β†’

Fertile Future: Nurture Your Transformation to Motherhood.

This 6 or 12 week program weaves together group coaching, 1:1 support, online learning, community support, some medical detective work and so, SO much more.

It is ALL of the things I have used and seen effectively restore healthy periods, optimize ovulation, improve s***m + egg health + help couples conceive with CONFIDENCE over the last 10 years.

If you're curious to learn more, comment or DM me FUTURE and I will send you more information.πŸ’–

Things I see cause a lot of confusion and discouragement for women:
> Getting off birth control
> Being diagnosed with PCOS
> Experiencing unpredictable cycles
> for months without getting pregnant
> Recovering from pregnancy loss

What is the common thread with the things above?

The art of restoring your period.πŸ–ŒοΈ

Having a healthy menstrual cycle is like having a clear window into the vibrant health of the whole body.πŸͺŸ

It's equivalent to living a healthy life, a fertile life and feeling in steady balance with one's health.🀩

When cycles are irregular or otherwise impacted, that can be a sign that there is more to support in really optimizing health. Yes, perhaps for a healthy pregnancy but also for a healthy YOU. πŸ‘πŸΌ

Here are 4 ways to help restore your period:

πŸ”ΈIdentify the root cause of imbalances.
Is it related to gut health? Poor nutrient absorption? Stress? Imbalance of fuel in vs. fuel out (over exercising)?
>>> Nourish your body, mind + spirit with activities you LOVE + consider getting support from your doctor at exploring the ROOT CAUSE of your symptoms.
〰️TRUTH β€” just getting a PCOS diagnosis and being sent on your way is NOT the answers you deserve for comprehensive healthcare.

πŸ”ΈBalance blood sugarΒ β€” this plays a big role in the metabolic stability for the body and our hormones. Focus on FAT + FIBER + PROTEIN at every meal + snack.

πŸ”ΈSupport hormone levels + metabolism β€” avoid things that disrupt hormones, chemicals like BPA or phthalates. Love on your liver. Support healthy detoxification + elimination.

πŸ”ΈReplete nutrient deficiencies β€” this is a big one for coming off hormonal birth control, but ALSO very important if there is any sign of gut inflammation or issues.

If getting your cycle back on track is feeling overwhelming + confusing, you're not alone! 🫢🏼

If you're ready to get some answers and direct support in optimizing your cycle, your health + your fertility.. comment below or DM me READY and I will share what my first step would be to restoring your period.

Are you tired of trying to decode your own digestion, figure out the root cause of your symptoms AND optimize your health for fertility? πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

Do you have a hunch there are multiple things connected to your health, your symptoms + your fertility? πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Well, I think you're onto somethingπŸ’‘

When it comes to optimizing hormones, egg quality + fertility, that conversation HAS TO include digestive health. πŸ’©

Why?

Our GI tract is solely responsible for taking all the good nutrients we eat during the day and turning it into fuel for our bodies, cells and hormones.
β€¨πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Fuel for cellular division, egg quality, immune stability.
β€¨πŸ‘‰πŸΌ Fuel for hormone production, hormone metabolism and so much more.

One of the biggest aspects to fertility care I see missing is assessing + supporting optimal gut function.❣️

And I am SO excited to offer specific educational + transformational content all about this connection starting tomorrow!

Take the leap and join us! I promise you will walk away with actual, tangible ways you can improve your gut health AND your hormones.

It's simple! All you have to do is sign up + show up!

If you want to optimize your hormones, your health + fertility, a restrictive diet is NOT the way to go. πŸ™€

People restrict foods for many reasons. I absolutely relate to the pattern of restricting because of *fear* something will be harmful or not in line with optimizing something I'm working on for my health.

This is especially true when in the very special place preparing for a pregnancy.🐣

Many of my patients are limiting their diets because they have a lot of reactions to foods.

β†’ dairy gives them gas
β†’ gluten makes them bloated
β†’ peanuts give them fatigue
β†’ egg makes them get a migraine

These are real reactions, yes. But they don't have to be there forever. πŸ™…πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

🌸 A healthy diet is a diverse diet.

We want to be able to
β€’ eat delicious foods
β€’ travel and not feel restricted
β€’ trust + believe that our bodies are being well fueled by the nutrients we eat
β€’ absorb a variety of nutrients for optimal health
β€’ nourish our bodies for healthy hormones
β€’ get rid of bloat, gas and other GI symptoms

But if there are issues related to the GI system, those things can be harder to experience.

Gut health is SO important for pre-pregnancy preparation + is a common missing link I see in couples who are for some time without success.

That is why I've created the Healthy Gut, Fertile Future masterclass and it's happening live NEXT week!

If you're dreaming of growing your family, don't miss this opportunity to learn specific strategies to optimize your health + create a fertile future.

Tending to our digestive health is essential for optimal health, longevity + vitality. πŸ”‘

These 4 tips are relatively easy when reading an instragram post, but working with patients over the last 10 years I know how HARD it can be to put them into practice.

It's like knowing we "should" exercise, but making the time, remembering and staying motivated just doesn't happen everyday. πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

If you're wanting to make a change to your self-care habits or patterns, it really does take focus, strategy + accountability. It takes committment, ritual + inspiration. πŸ’–

4 direct ways to support your gut health include:
β€’ Slow down at meal time
β€’ Choose organic foods, when possible
β€’ Diversify plant-based foods
β€’ Increase fiber intake

I hear something from patients often that I am REALLY ready to change.

"If I had only worked with you years ago, I probably could have prevented so much money spent and confusion on this fertility journey."

Now, there is no way to go back and change choices or decisions we make. There really is no wrong decision either, it's all contributed to the whole of our experience in some way. πŸ’«

But I have been reflecting on the transitions women go through when becoming mothers and how challenging that road to pregnancy can be for some.πŸ’”

πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈHow can I best support couples wanting to grow their families?

I feel like my work is evolving, as all living things do.🌸

My deepest passion has always been and always will be in caring for healthy & vibrantly growing families.

And after many, many years working with couples, helping hundreds of patients improve their health for pregnancy, I see so clearly ...

the importance of optimizing health BEFORE trying to conceive.🀯

We invest in our futures in many ways.
β†’ We go to college to invest in our career.
β†’ We invest our finances for future financial stability.
β†’ We spend time with loved ones to invest in community and relationships.
β†’ We invest in our vehicles with routine oil changes.

And we can equally invest in our whole body health, wellness AND vitality in the months or years leading up to motherhood. πŸ’―

What comes from this? πŸ‘€

🌼Confidence in conception. Nourished pregnancies. Beautiful births. Smooth postpartum transitions. Healthy kids. Blossoming families.🌼

Sure, nothing is perfect or always preventable. But given the opportunity to prepare, nourish and invest in optimizing an experience, would you? πŸ€”

M came to see me confused & overwhelmed. She had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism following an early pregnancy loss. πŸ’”

Blood work after the miscarriage showed her TSH was 4.8 and her provider suggested she start medication, wait 3 months, then start trying again.

But M wanted to know more. She wanted to know WHY her thyroid was out of balance and beyond taking a medication for the rest of her life, WHAT she could do to support her health, hormones + fertility. πŸ•΅πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

We started with a comprehensive thyroid panel including:
β€£ TSH
β€£ Free T4
β€£ Free T3
β€£ Reverse T3
β€£ Thyroglobulin antibodies
β€£ Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO)

These are in addition to a comprehensive whole health panel I run on nearly all my fertility patients.

Results revealed her T4 (the precursor hormone to the active T3) was normal.

Her T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone) was low and her reverse T3 was slightly elevated.

AND .. she had a slight elevation in her TPO antibodies.

She was SO relieved to get more insight and information as to what was going on in her body.

And the best part?❕

We got crystal clear on ways to support her thyroid health beyond just taking thyroid medication forever. 🀩

We optimized her nutrients, hormones, sleep + nutrition with specific support.

Her thyroid antibodies are now close to normal range & all of her thyroid hormone levels are healthfully within range. πŸ‘πŸΌ

She feels SO ready for pregnancy, so healthy and balanced in her body. She's no longer constipated, hair loss has improved + her fertile signs are clear every month. 😻

Doing some deeper investigation with testing was such an important part of this case, as if often the situation with thyroid issues. πŸ₯°
