Today I'm welcoming Dr. Aumatma Shah to the podcast.
We're into miscarriage and trying to conceive after loss.
Dr. Aumatma is a double board-certified Naturopathic Doctor & Endocrinologist, in practice for close to 15 years. She specializes in fertility and is the best-selling author of "Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You About Baby-Making.”
Many women suffer from miscarriage and repeat miscarriage. The devastating emotional toll it takes can be hard to endure.
It’s a topic that is still very taboo and couples are even hesitant to tell close friends and family members that they are pregnant for fear of losing the baby and then having to explain the loss.
When we do experience a miscarriage, what we need most is support and understanding.
Sometimes a simple, I am so sorry for your loss is enough.
If you have experienced miscarriage my heart goes out to you.
Please know that our Fab Fertile Method that can help with repeat miscarriage.
In this episode you'll learn:
1) What to do after a miscarriage to optimize your chances of a successful pregnancy
2) Why including your partner is essential to optimize your chances (i.e. which tests are essential to ensure his fertility is optimal)
3) How to ensure this hormone has been checked (i.e. oftentimes conventional medicine misses healing opportunities).
