Dr. Piper Gibson joins us today as we\\u2019re digging into how testing genetics can improve the chances of pregnancy success.

As the saying goes, \\u201cgenetics load the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger\\u201d. Unlike our genetic makeup, we do have some measure of control of what we bring into our lives. Such as what we eat, how much we sleep, when we move, our exposure to environmental toxins, mental-emotional stress, and more.

Our Fab Fertile Method emphasizes individualized science-based testing. No more guessing. Which fast tracks pregnancy success with your own eggs.

One of the tests we have access to and is included in the program is a genetics test. Many of you may have had genetic testing with your physician. This genetic testing is different and provides us with specific gene variants in both a female and male panel.

This information is then used to personalize targeted nutrition and lifestyle plan that pinpoints specific areas that conventional medicine may have missed so that you can get pregnant naturally.

Today on the podcast I\\u2019m excited to welcome Dr. Piper Gibson, Doctor of Advanced Holistic Nutrition and is a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine.

She is the Corporate Clinical Educator at GX Sciences.

In this episode you\'ll learn:

1) Why reviewing your genetics can identify specific diet and lifestyle factors that stop wasted time (i.e. what are you predisposed to and how do you minimize your risk)

2) Why the tests from ancestry or 23andme may not give you the simple actionable steps that are needed to fast-track pregnancy success.

3) Why genetics testing can help with adherence (i.e. if you know you have a propensity for insulin resistance or thyroid imbalance for example - how do you prevent disease/illness \\u2013 which ultimately improves fertility
