Brandy Buskow joins us today as we\u2019re digging into stool testing and what it means for fertility.
Yep\u2026we\u2019re talking about poop today!
It\u2019s the last place that your conventional doctor will look when you have infertility\u2026while in functional medicine it\u2019s one of the first places.
I\u2019ve shared with you about my food sensitivity\u2026which I discovered years ago\u2026.and when I took out the foods\u2026I gradually started to feel better (I discovered this too late, as I was fully in menopause \u2013 if you are still cycling naturally there are steps we can take!).
And then years later after the food sensitivity, I discovered I had a gut infection too.
I had H.Pylori, streptococcus and a fungal overgrowth and really high sensitivity to gluten (which I already knew \u2013 but the stool test confirmed it \u2013 so I had to watch out for cross reactors).
When I found this out\u2026I gotta tell you\u2026I was upset! Okay I was pissed!!!
Because I thought I was this super healthy person. Eating organic, taking out the inflammatory foods, eliminating the environmental toxins\u2026you name it I was doing it\u2026.but like I\u2019ve shared because my periods were irregular in my early 20\u2019s, I was placed on hormonal birth control.

I\u2019ve talked about post birth control syndrome (this impacts our nutrient levels \u2013 you could be eating a super health diet \u2013 but not absorbing the nutrients, and it negatively impacts gut health (cue \u2013 leaky gut, food sensitivities and gut infections).
That\u2019s why a stool test is always a must if you are struggling with infertility. Especially if you have gone #glutenfree #dairyfree and still aren\u2019t pregnant or able to carry your baby to term.
Remember if your body is under attack it wants to survive not procreate.
And if you have a gut infection\u2026the body is under attack!
Time to dig deeper!
