How To Identify The Stressors That Impact Your Fertility

Published: Dec. 2, 2020, 8 a.m.

Justine Altman joins us this week as we're digging into how the different types of stressors impact fertility.

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

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

You\u2019ve probably tried \u201call the things\u201d read the books/blogs, listened to podcasts, and implemented strategies \u2013 but nothing has worked.

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

I\u2019m here to tell you that it\u2019s not your fault.

Conventional medicine doesn\u2019t 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\u2019ll either get pregnant naturally or improve the success of IVF.

Your body is desperately trying to tell you something \u2013 let\u2019s figure out what healing opportunities have been missed so that you can improve your chances of pregnancy success.

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.

In this episode 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
