HELLO BEAUTIFUL! Welcome back to another episode of Finding Fertility. We're back with another Talk Show - The Fertility Connection discussing What is the Best Diet to do to improve your chances of getting pregnant?

What is the Best Diet to do to Improve your Chances of Getting Pregnant? | The Fertility Connection Talk Show - Finding Fertility Podcast

 

“Unhealthy people get pregnant all the time... It's their level of their fertility being disconnected and for some of us, we have to go way deeper with it.” -Monica

 

Getting pregnant is hard enough without having to give up sugar, but could changes to your diet improve your fertility? Or should you think twice before giving up that sweet tooth?

 

Today on The Fertility Connection Talk Show, we take a deep dive into all things food and diet-related. Devon, Sarah, Robyn and I share tidbits from our experiences with food and trying to conceive. Turns out our views on the effects of diet on fertility are as different as our respective journeys to motherhood.

 

“Most people coming to me are not a sick population, same as you guys, they're like 'I just wanna have my baby, I don't feel sick.' But sometimes you don't know how poorly you're feeling until you feel friggin awesome.”

 

Listen in as we talk about everything from food sensitivities to fertility trends. Hear our thoughts on trying to conceive on a variety of diets including paleo and vegan—learn if switching up your plate could be an option for you and your partner.

“We're all so different and it's super frustrating that, I think, what we do is we compare ourselves.” -Monica

Is gut health important for fertility? with Caitlin Townsend

Are you taking the right food for your body to help support your fertility? Did you know that your gut is almost completely responsible for your fertility issues? Is gut health important for fertility?

In this episode, Caitlin and I go into detail about our infertility journeys and how gut health contributed to our experiences. Your gut and environmental stressors play a huge part in healing your infertility. 

Caitlin is the founder of Nourish by Caitlin. She uses food as medicine and a whole living lifestyle approach to get to the root cause and create optimal health to improve her fertility. Caitlin is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner as well as a Chef trained at The Culinary Institute of America. Through her own fertility journey, she has been able to utilize her passion for food and knowledge of functional health to help others on their journey. 

We explain why eating highly intolerant food will prolong your ability to heal and become pregnant & why IVF is not a recipe for success. 

Topics Discussed:

• Finding your food intolerance to heal.
• Effects of gut health on fertility health. 
• Overcoming life’s stressors to heal infertility. 
• Being consistent and keep to what is right for your body.
• Address your thyroid issues to heal and stay healthy.

Episode Highlights:

• [1:36] How Monica’s personal infertility journey inspired her to understand it deeply.
• [11:29] Learn to explore with food to find what works for your body.
• [17:25] Figuring out how to work around your stress and distress to stay healthy.
• [26:14] Caitlin shares her infertility journey and experience with failed IVF. 
• [38:33] Understanding natural killer cells and how that relates to your gut health. 

Standout Quotes: 

• “If you’re still eating food you’re highly intolerant to; it’ll take you a lot longer to heal.”
• “What goes into your gut is going to affect everything else throughout your entire body.”
• “There’s a lot of complications that come with not trying your best to maintain your health.”

Q&A Top Tips for increasing egg quality & the facts about supplements. 

Hello Beautiful People! This is one of the top questions we get all the time. HELL! I asked it a few times myself to my journey, especially after my shambles of an IVF where I was left to believe I couldn’t make healthy eggs. So how do you increase the quality of your egg and sperm health & what supplement should I take to do it? 

If you can follow me for a while now, you know supplements can’t be all and end all to your fertility health. To the increase your age and sperm quality you need to figure out what's causing the inflammation in your body & minimise the exposure to these things which in truth which include diet lifestyle and environmental toxins. 

SHOW NOTES:

How did you determine what supplements to take?

What are your top tips to increase the quality of my eggs?

How to Increase Your Fertility by Being Your Own Advocate IN & OUT of the IVF Clinic

💚 On Tuesdays, I'm bringing back some of the first podcast I recorded. They are raw and not newly edited, so you will hear the podcast being called Infertile Diagnosis. But don't worry, you're still getting top quality content and the support you need 💚

How to Increase Your Fertility by Being Your Own Advocate IN & OUT of the IVF Clinic

Welcome to the FIRST episode of The Fertility Connection Talk Show!

I've brought together a few inspiring women from around the world to talk about all things linked to fertility & inspire you to take control of your fertility journey. We're meeting once a month here on the Infertile Diagnosis. 

A month or so ago, I posted on IG: "We'll Wait Until You Have Three Miscarriages." Should say no Doctor ever. The more I talk with you all, the more I hear this, and it's messed up. I know miscarriages are apart of life & they will happen to the best of us, but to tell a couple that they'll have to wait to have three miscarriages before they test for ___________ (fill in the blank)! Duck this 🦆. I want to to start empowering yourself and stand up to anyone who tells you this. Remember- it's your body, it's your money, it's your heartache, it's your life!

There’s probably not many of us out there who haven’t dealt with infertility & walked out of the doctor's office and thought “WTF just happened.” I know there’s been far too many times during my infertility journey that I became a deer in the headlights and just listened to the doctor or “fertility specialist” and did what they thought was best for me. Maybe that’s why I had a nine-year infertility journey. But I know I’m not alone & that’s why I wanted this subject to be our first topic of conversation on The Fertility Reconnect Talk Show.

Getting Pregnant Naturally Over 35 with Stephanie Roth

When you start late trying to conceive or it's taking time for things to happen, the weight of getting older may have an effect on your mental clarity. Getting pregnant over 30 - over 35 - over 40 is doable!! There are many steps to getting there, but worth it. Some will need the support of modern medicine, but everyone can improve their chances of getting pregnant by finding the right diet & lifestyle that their body is seeking.

Getting pregnant naturally or with no major medical intervention is possible. Stephanie shares her story to show that it can happen. She got pregnant with her own eggs over the age of 40, without having to do round after round of IVF.

Stephanie Roth can help you create the family of your dreams and a life you love. A certified fertility counsellor and integrative nutrition health coach, Stephanie offers seasonal cleanse programs, online tools, custom meditations and fertility coaching programs to help you thrive on your fertility journey.

Stephanie is a yoga junkie (practising for 20+ years), wellness enthusiast, marathon runner, and a 48-year-old first-time mom of a 5-year-old. Faced with a diagnosis of severe Diminished Ovarian Reserve at age 42, and a prediction of less than 2% that she’d conceive with her own eggs, she took her fertility into her own hands, supplementing modern medicine with an integrative healthcare program that she designed herself. As a result, she conceived her son after just a year of trying and with no major medical intervention. She steadfastly believes in the power of clean living and intention setting to help us achieve our dreams. 

Connect with Stephanie at Your Fertile Self, on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest, and join her private Facebook group, Path to Your Fertile Self. You can also follow her blogs Your Fertile Self, and B Fit, B Fertile for Conceive Fertility Hospital in Dubai.

What I Wish I Knew About Unexplained Infertility & Autoimmune Issues.

Hello Beautiful People!

Explaining, Unexplained Infertility. This was my mission for almost six years. During this time I didn’t see one BFP & I had two failed IVF's. But I was fine! I had no big issues- not even thyroid issues!

So WTF. There are so many things I wish I knew about during my journey, but I mainly wished I knew that when it comes down to unexplained infertility, there are many places through the whole body I should have been looking at to solve the unexplained.

The doctors and I were hyper-focused on my lady bits. We should have moved on when the 4th invasive procedure yet again showed all was fine & the second IVF failed. I feel extremely lucky that I stumbled open all the necessary links to figure out my unexplained infertility & I’m horned to be sharing them with you.

Anything written or said about health and diet are my opinions, that I have formed over the years, through trial and error, study, reading, listening and observing. What worked for me may not work for you. I am not a doctor, nutritionist or dietician and all medical advice should be gotten from a qualified professional. Product recommendations are based on what I used during my infertility journey or wish I had.
