3 Factors That May Be Holding You Back From Pregnancy and How To Fast

We’re digging into common mistakes we see on the fertility journey.

I started the Get Pregnant Naturally podcast five (5) years ago on January 1, 2018.

In the beginning, I recorded with audio only because the thought of doing video was too intimidating. I like to prepare my episodes beforehand, so I thought it would look weird if I were always referring to my notes.

After recording 383 episodes of the podcast, I’m well past the point of caring what I look like on camera or sound like on audio. The main point is to provide value to you, the listener.

After all, I’m on a mission to spread the word about the power of functional medicine, nutrition, and natural fertility solutions.

I curate each episode with you, the listener, in mind. The topics are endless as the fertility journey impacts all aspects of our lives. I get inspiration from our clients, my followers on social media, and members of the Fab Fertile community.

To date, we have over 760,000 downloads from listeners all over the world.

I am humbled and grateful that you are here and that you spend your precious time listening to each episode. It really does mean the world to me.

So as we begin the New Year, I want you to know that you are not alone. The journey to conceive can take over your life, but can you choose to reframe your experience and trust deep in your heart that your baby's soul is here now.

I want you to have a plan for 2023 to improve your chances of pregnancy success.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How to stop wasting time and fast-track pregnancy success (hint: it's not about consuming the latest fertility superfoods or starting fad diets)
Why focusing on the basics shifts the needle faster
This one theme we see with couples and how it can strain your relationship

Tracking your hormones is essential but getting bloodwork each month can be time consuming and expensive.

I'm excited to introduce you to the Inito fertility monitor, an easy, at-home fertility tracker that gives accurate results, while cutting down on your time and expenses.

Inito not only tells you when you're the most fertile by measuring estrogen and LH but also confirms if you’ve actually ovulated by measuring progesterone.

If you’re ready to start tracking your fertility easily at home, go to Inito.com and use code FABFERTILE15 to save 15% on your fertility tracker.
