Justine Altman joins us today as we\\u2019re digging into how to optimize pregnancy success after miscarriage.

Experiencing a miscarriage opens you up to a tremendous range of emotions, including anger, depression, isolation, and shame.

If you\\u2019ve had a miscarriage, it\\u2019s vital not to judge yourself or your feelings. Pregnancy loss is physical and emotional trauma, and you should take the time you need to work through it.

When you\\u2019re ready to try to conceive again, we review some of the most common reasons someone can have a miscarriage and options to investigate.

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) Why looking at this gene variant is important to consider if you\\u2019ve experienced miscarriage

2) Why reviewing these blood markers can give us healing opportunities that may be missed by conventional medicine.

3) What role diet/lifestyle plays with miscarriage and how to know which suggestions are right for you

4) Why taking time to allow the body to heal after a miscarriage is essential and how to optimize your chances of a successful pregnancy

Excited that our LIVE Summer Fertility Challenge is launching on July 19th. You\'ll receive newly designed chef-prepared recipes (perfect for summer and curated to optimize fertility). There will be daily motivation, guidance, and support from the Fab Fertile Team. Join the Fertility Diet Challenge here>>>>http://fertilitydietfreebie.com/
