Dr. Amy Day joins us today as we\'re digging into how to get pregnant naturally with endometriosis.

Endometriosis affects approximately 175 million women in the world and 1 in 10 women in their reproductive years.

It can take anywhere from 6-10 years to get an endometriosis diagnosis \\u2013 so many women struggle and are simply told, \\u201cthat it\\u2019s just a bad period\\u201d.

March is endometriosis awareness month.

As you may know, we specialize in complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, and diminished ovarian reserve. Many women with endometriosis have low AMH and they are told that IVF is their only option.

This conventional medicine approach leaves couples that are trying to conceive frustrated and unsure of their next steps \\u2013 especially if they have experienced IUI/IVF failures.

What we know from working with clients with endometriosis is that healing opportunities are regularly missed\\u2026it\\u2019s not about focusing on the endo diagnosis it\\u2019s looking at the WHOLE body.

What if there was a proven method to reduce endometriosis symptoms and get pregnant naturally?

I\\u2019m excited to welcome Dr. Amy Day to the podcast. Dr. Day is a hormone expert, an author, and a speaker. She has been at the forefront of the natural women\\u2019s health movement since 2004 after receiving the 4th ND license in the state of California.

In this episode you\'ll learn:

1) The conventional approach to endo versus the functional approach.. (i.e. surgery, birth control, and more).

2) The biggest mistakes around diet and endo

3) Why regulating blood sugar can be helpful for endo symptoms

4) How to minimize environmental toxin exposure and why this matters if you have endo.

5) Is endo always estrogen dominance?
