How To Identify The Stressors That Impact Your Fertility

Today I’m welcoming Justine Altman back to the podcast!

We’re digging into how the different types of stressors impact fertility.

Justine is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception.

If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success.

Justine is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She was diagnosed with POCS and struggled with infertility but after taking a functional approach was able to have both her children naturally.

It's day #3 of our fertility series.

I know you are here right now because you want to have your baby.

You may be feeling heartbroken, frustrated, angry, and sad.

You’ve probably tried “all the things” read the books/blogs, listened to podcasts, and implemented strategies – but nothing has worked.

And although it may feel like your next logical step is IVF.

I’m here to tell you that it’s not your fault.

Conventional medicine doesn’t seek to address the root cause of infertility. We get an infertility diagnosis and then are told that we need an expensive/invasive procedure to push our body to procreate.

IVF takes an average of 3 cycles and a cost of $ 60,000 for a successful pregnancy.

What I know for sure is that focusing on your health BEFORE you commit to IVF is NEVER a bad decision. You’ll either get pregnant naturally or improve the success of IVF.

Your body is desperately trying to tell you something – let’s figure out what healing opportunities have been missed so that you can improve your chances of pregnancy success.

On this podcast you'll learn:

1) The top stressors that impact fertility and what you can do to minimize your risk

2) How to address the stressors so that you can prepare for a successful pregnancy

3) Clues to look out for so that you can take simple steps to optimize your fertility
