Brandy Buskow joins us today as we\'re digging into what to do after you\\u2019ve read - It Starts With The Egg!

Today we\\u2019re the talking about what to do AFTER you\\u2019ve read the book It Starts With The Egg by Rebecca Fett.

It Starts With The Egg has become the bible for egg health and really the infertility community. This well researched book includes actionable steps for diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations.

What if you\\u2019ve made ALL the changes and it still hasn\\u2019t worked? Does IVF seems like your next logical step?

What we know after working with couples that are struggling with infertility is that taking a PERSONALIZED approach is the true path to optimizing health and fertility.

Because even if it worked for someone else \\u2013 it doesn\\u2019t mean the approach is right for YOUR body.

We wanted to give some tips on what to do NEXT after reading the book.

Today I\'m welcoming Brandy Buskow back to the the podcast.

Brandy 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.

She is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Certified Transformational Health Coach and EFT Practitioner.

This episode is for you:

If you have implemented the suggestions in the book and it still hasn\\u2019t worked

If you were so overwhelmed by the book - that you didn\\u2019t know where to start

Your partner isn\\u2019t making any of the suggested changes - just you! Steps to help his preconception health.

You haven\\u2019t read the book \\u2013 but you want to know how to improve egg quality and fertility naturally.

On this episode you\\u2019ll learn:

1) Your Vitamin D levels are low. We know that low levels of Vitamin D can increase risk of miscarriage and fertility. But WHY are your levels low in the first place? We talk about factors the influence your Vitamin D (i.e. infections, autoimmunity etc.). What supplement you should be taking (this is regularly missed).

2) Your TSH is normal (or is it?). We see this ALL the time. Thyroid problems are common with premature ovarian failure/insufficiency, unexplained infertility and ovulatory disorders. Plus subclinical hypothyroidism increased to 15% with ovulatory infertility and 40% with of women with POF. Why looking at your TSH is not enough.

3) Food sensitivity \\u2013 you\\u2019ve eliminated gluten and dairy (okay you still have the odd cheat day). Why digging into diet is KEY for your fertility. What you can do if you\\u2019ve tested negative for celiac (we talk about the frequency of false negatives). And discuss non-celiac gluten sensitivity and what we are seeing with our clients.

4) Environmental Toxins \\u2013 you\\u2019ve tossed out the plastics, eliminated your EMF exposure (or have you \\u2013 we regularly see people getting this wrong), you\\u2019ve changed all your personal care (but have you checked for common allergens), and you switched to non-toxic cleaning products. Right? What you could be missing.

5) You\\u2019re supplementing with melatonin. We see this all the time. It is recommended to supplement if you are going through IVF, but it may impair your ability to produce melatonin. But why is your melatonin low in the first place? Did you have it tested? Higher melatonin is found with those with high AMH counts and higher follicle counts. Do you know how to improve your melatonin?

6) You\\u2019re taking DHEA. It is the go to recommendation for those with diminished ovarian reserve (low AMH) and are preparing for IVF. Plus it helps to decrease miscarriage. But have your levels been tested? Why a blood test does NOT tell us the whole picture. Do you know WHY your levels are low in the first place? It is not about taking a reductionist viewpoint of your fertility. It\\u2019s about looking about at the WHOLE body.

7) We discuss the recommended supplements (ie prenatal, B12, CoQ10, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic, Myo-inositol, L- Carnitine and men\\u2019s supplement recommendations)

Although there is a lot of good research in the book, remember these are generalized guidelines.

It takes a reductionist viewpoint of fertility. We look at the whole body. Not focusing on symptoms.

Next steps:
