Welcome to day #3 of Mini-Series on how to optimize egg health so you can improve the chances of pregnancy success.

We see this all the time. Couples being told that their thyroid is normal and they are still not able to conceive.

If you\u2019ve only looked at the TSH there are potential missed healing opportunities.

I was told my thyroid was normal and my hair was falling out, my skin was dry as a lizard and my hands and feet were always cold.

Don\u2019t take no for an answer. You know your body best. Let\u2019s see how the thyroid impacts egg health and what you can do to optimize yours (hint it is not all about the medication).

This episode is for you:

You have been told your thyroid is normal but you are experiencing a miscarriage and still unable to conceive.

You are taking thyroid medication because there is thyroid dysfunction and you\u2019re not sure what to do next to optimize your chances of pregnancy success.

You have thyroid symptoms but you don\u2019t know how to address the thyroid so you can get pregnant naturally.

In this episode you'll learn:

1) How thyroid dysfunction impacts ovulation, menstrual cycle, increases miscarriage and more.

2) Functional reference ranges for optimal thyroid function. Why looking at the TSH is not enough.

3) How to optimize the thyroid (i.e. reduce toxic burden and biochemical stressors)

4) What low iron could mean and how it may be tied to thyroid health.
