6 Barriers to Optimal Fertility

When we think about fertility, we often think babies! But what if I told you fertility is about more than that!? Don’t get me wrong, creating a tiny human from scratch is a BIG deal. But our fertility or reproductive function is also a window into our overall health.

We often don’t pay attention to our health until something has gone wrong or isn’t working as it “should”.

Fertility is a measure of how our bodies are digesting food, using nutrients, detoxing, and balancing hormones. As women, we can use changes in our monthly cycle as insight into what is happening with our health.

A few things our cycle can reveal about our health:

• Hormone Imbalance (thyroid, adrenal health, androgens, estrogen & progesterone etc.)

• Blood Sugar ImbalanceNutrient deficiencies (from lack of food &/or lack of nutrient-dense food)

• Poor gut health

• Impaired detox pathways (liver function, lung function, sweating, etc.)

Whether you are looking to conceive or not, pay attention to your fifth vital sign, many period problems can be prevented and fixed without medical intervention. The sooner they are caught, the easier it is to reverse them and prevent a cascade of other symptoms.

I work with women that have had symptoms like tummy troubles, absence of CM, annovulation, amenorrhea or very irregular periods for years. The conventional answer is typically BC to “fix our hormones”. Unfortunately, BC doesn’t fix anything, but just covers up the problem & women are often struggling to conceive later in life. The good news is you can learn to work with your body & optimize your fertility with targeted testing, diet & lifestyle!!
