Are you stuck on your infertility diagnosis?
Today I’m welcoming Reed Davis to the podcast! We’re digging into metabolic chaos and what it means for fertility. Reed is a Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), Fitness Trainer and Environmental Paralegal. He is an expert in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle medicine and Founder of the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) Certification Course. Reed served as Health Director and Case Manager at The Better Health & Wellness Center in Poway, California for over 10 years and now teaches the FDN Course with over 2500 trainees or graduates in 50 countries. He is a Clinical Advisor at BioHealth Laboratory, helping practitioners interpret lab test results and develop natural protocols to restore function rather than just treating symptoms. Reed is known as one of the most successful and experienced clinicians in the world today, having provided functional lab assessments to over 10,000 clients for hormonal and bone density problems, adrenal and thyroid dysfunction, and digestion, detoxification and immune system issues. He is also an expert in pathogen screening and food sensitivity testing and many related health problems. Reed lives in Southern California, teaching the FDN Certification Course and helping his graduates build robust private practices. Check out his website here. If you were like me when I was diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Failure I focused solely on the diagnosis. It was like I had blinders on...I literally did not see any other path...besides what was written/talked about in blogs/forums...about what my diagnosis meant. I felt very defined by the diagnosis and really quite hopeless. I did not stop to listen to my body.... to those other health symptoms which for me were yeast infections, fungal rash and acne. I barrelled ahead full steam to the fertility clinic. As you know I am one of the fortunate ones who had both my kids with donor eggs....but years later my health took a nose dive...and I later discovered my kids have food sensitivities. (which is linked to preconception health - epigenetics!). This episode is a must listen....if you feel like your infertility diagnosis defines you...or you can't see an alternate pathway. I started the Get Pregnant Naturally Podcast because I wanted anyone touched by infertility to wake up to the power of Functional Medicine. On this podcast you'll learn:
  • How to stop treating the diagnosis and chasing the symptoms.
  • Why taking a break (I know this can sound scary - but stay with me!) to focus on preconception health makes all the difference and how it can impact postpartum health and the health of your child.
  • What exactly is metabolic chaos and why is this important for someone struggling with infertility.
  • How to cultivate patience during the healing process.
