How to use nutrition to reduce excess estrogen...
Estrogen dominance or “too much estrogen” has been linked to many fertility issues.
It can contribute to:
❗ Low progesterone
❗ Uterine fibroids
❗ Thick uterine lining
❗ PMS
❗ Male fertility issues
❗ and so much more...
The causes are multiple, but the good news is there are solutions.... AND nutrition is one of the most effective.
Here are 6 foods that reduce estrogen dominance:
🌱 Broccoli:
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, turnip greens, Bok choy, wasabi, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, greens, and cauliflower, which are high in indole-3-carbinol and diindolylmethane (DIM) that help regulate estrogen metabolism.
🌱 Flax Seed:
Eating foods high in fiber, lignins and omega 3’s are all important for reducing excess estrogens. Flax is a great source of all these nutrients. 1-2 Tablespoons a day, ground is all you need.
🌱 Leafy Greens:
Eat foods high in vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folate and leafy greens are some of the best sources. Think spinach, kale, swiss chart, etc.
🌱 Legumes & beans:
Legumes and beans are both foods high in fiber (and a bunch of other fertility supportive nutrients). Fiber helps the body to get rid of excess estrogen from the body. They also help you to stay regular which is important to prevent estrogen from recirculating.
🌱 Maca:
One of my favorite herbs to help with estrogen balance. It supports the endocrine function and helps with hormone balance.
🌱 Whole grains:
Foods like brown rice, quinoa, millet, etc are all foods that are rich in fiber and b vitamins. Both important for estrogen metabolism - helping to regulate estrogen levels.
Adding these foods to your diet is a great step to begin overcoming estrogen dominance.
What step do I recommend after this? ⤵️
Fertility Cleansing.
Fertility cleansing is a great way to support the liver’s natural ability to get rid of toxins – including xenoestrogens.

It’s not about age...
Are you tired of constantly hearing warnings about your age limiting your chances of getting pregnant?
⏰ The perpetual ticking biological clock?
It’s a narrative almost every woman over 35 faces.
The fear of declining egg quality as you age is not just a scare tactic; it’s a reality many face.
The stark reminder that each year beyond 35 could lessen your chances of conceiving naturally is a heavy burden.
But what if there was something you could do about it by using science and nature to defy the “odds”.

5 ways to promote ovulation...
Ovulation is one of (if not THE) most important event each month when trying to conceive.
BUT if ovulation is not regular OR predictable it can get super frustrating.
Here are 5 Simple Ways to Promote Ovulation:
🥚 Focus on nutrition - eat foods that are nourishing for hormone health and healthy blood sugar levels. Studies show a direct connection to diet and ovulation.
A great place to start is with our Fertility Nutrition Kit. It provides 3 nutrition habits that you can get done first thing in the morning and check foods off your list such as greens wild berries, antioxidant rich foods, omega 3, superfoods like royal jelly and maca, plus so much more.
🥚 Actively manage stress - reducing cortisol levels is important for regular ovulation. If stress is high and a consistent part of your day, one of the first functions of the body that is affected is ovulation.
Walks, yoga, meditation, nervine herbs - whichever works for you. Add it to your day and stay consistent.
🥚 Support ovulation with herbs - several herbs are effective at promoting ovulation by supporting hormonal balance.
Vitex Boost happens to be one of the most effective. This formula provides a popular hormone herb vitex with nutrients necessary for ovulation.
🥚 Acupressure - by practicing regular acupressure the release you are able to support the hormone system “communication”, which regulates ovulation.
Learn how to do self-acupressure at home with our Drop Cycle Method program.
🥚 Castor oil therapy - by increasing circulation to the reproductive system, you are helping to bring fresh nutrients to the ovaries and uterus.
Lack of circulation can result in menstrual cycle irregularities anywhere from having a light period to not having a period at all, including disrupted ovulation. Womb Care Castor Oil packs are our go-to kit for this.

There is no need to “wait and see”...
You can improve your fertility with natural therapies and lifestyle changes.
Here are the top 5 most important things to do.
✨ Clear detoxification pathways - The time while you are preparing for conception is one of the most important times to create a healthy body in preparation for pregnancy. Fertility cleansing is a way to support the body in preparation for conception by cleansing the uterus and liver.
Through the use of herbs, The Fertility Cleanse encourages the liver to cleanse the body of toxins and excess hormones from the body while increasing circulation to the uterus.
✨ Nourish your eggs - As we age and live our lives throughout the years, our eggs are being exposed to the environment within our body.
High oxidative stress, nutritional deficiency, and lack of circulation all impact the health of our egg cells over time.
✨ Increase circulation to your reproductive system - What does this mean exactly? It means lots of benefits for egg health and uterine lining.
Some great ways to increase circulation to the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries is through Self Fertility Massage and Womb Care Castor Oil Packs.
✨ Know your fertile window - knowing WHEN or IF you are ovulating will be very important to getting pregnant sooner than later. There are many tools you can use to confirm this.
I personally like fertility charting because it not only pinpoints ovulation but can also give you feedback on other areas of your fertility such as progesterone or thyroid health.
✨ Reduce stress and create a “receptive” uterine lining - I know, I know, being told to “relax” while ttc can make you grind your teeth, there is major benefits to reducing cortisol levels while ttc.
Consistently high cortisol can prevent ovulation, and that is a no go around here. Exercising, yoga, meditation and tonic herbs (hello Fertility Superfoods) are my favorite ways to nurture my nervous system.

Nourish your progesterone levels with these foods
🍊 Vitamin C: Citrus fruits, strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, kiwi, kale
Vitamin C enhances progesterone levels by supporting adrenal glands and acting as an antioxidant, which helps protect reproductive cells from oxidative stress.
🥔Vitamin B6: Potatoes, bananas, spinach, sunflower seeds
Vitamin B6 helps with estrogen metabolism and supports progesterone production, reducing the risk of irregular menstruation and enhancing overall hormonal balance.
🥬 Magnesium: Dark leafy greens, nuts and seeds, whole grains, fish, dark chocolate
Magnesium regulates hormone levels and aids in progesterone receptor function, reducing symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances and supporting overall reproductive health.

What to eat for fertility...
Nutrition can make a big difference when you are wanting to prepare for pregnancy, support hormonal health or overcome fertility issues.
But it can sometimes be hard to start new habits.
One of my favorite ways to make lasting dietary changes is to focus on what you can add instead of only the things you shouldn’t be eating.
There are 5 specific things I have my clients add to their current diets every day.
🍌What they found after about 21 days of eating this way, they started to not only crave healthier foods, their body was giving them positive feedback through lighter cycles, better digestion, clearer skin and more energy. ⚡
While eating healthy is something you will need to do for the rest of your life, doing a challenge like this helps to give you a great jump start.

You only have 6 days per month...
Did you know only about 13% of women are aware of their most fertile times during their menstrual cycle. This gap in knowledge is not just a statistic; it’s a significant barrier for those trying to conceive or aiming to understand their reproductive health better.
Let’s fix that statistic real quick.
Here is how to know IF and WHEN you are ovulating. ⤵️
Track your basal body temperature everyday and track the number daily.
▶️ Measure your temp. first thing when you wake each morning.
▶️ Use an app, chart printed online or a digital tracking tool.
▶️ Take a look at the pattern created through consistent daily tracking.
What your chart says about your fertility:
✔️ BBT tracking can confirm ovulation. - A sustained rise in temperature typically indicates that ovulation has occurred. This is crucial for timing intercourse for conception.
✔️ BBT can hint at potential hormonal imbalances. - For instance, consistently low temperatures throughout your cycle might suggest an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), as thyroid hormones play a significant role in regulating metabolism and body temperature
Erratic temperature patterns could signal thyroid overactivity (hyperthyroidism) or adrenal issues.
Also, the length and pattern of your BBT chart’s phases—the follicular phase before ovulation and the luteal phase after—can offer clues about your reproductive health.
✔️ A short luteal phase, for example, might indicate low progesterone levels, which can affect your ability to maintain a pregnancy.
✔️ An extended follicular phase could suggest challenges with egg maturation or release, potentially pointing to conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Once you start charting, you’ll notice patterns. Typically, you’ll see lower temperatures before ovulation and higher ones after. The day after your temperature spikes is likely the day after you’ve ovulated.

Skip These Foods for egg health 🚫
Here is the key to supporting egg health:
What you are doing today will impact the health of the eggs you ovulate 3 months from now.
When it comes to nutrition the foods you avoid are just as important as the foods you eat to nourish egg health.
Here are some foods to steer clear of if you are wanting to support egg health:
🥓 Processed & Red Meats: High in unhealthy fats and preservatives, linked to lower fertilization rates and poorer semen quality.
🍩 Baked Goods & Sweets: Contain trans fats and high sugar, leading to poorer fertility outcomes and ovulatory disorders.
🥤 Sugar-Sweetened Beverages: High sugar intake causes insulin spikes, interfering with egg maturation and hormonal balance.
🍟 Trans Fats: Found in margarine, fried foods, and baked goods, disrupt hormonal balance and negatively affect reproductive health.
🍞 Refined Carbs: Low in fiber, causing blood sugar spikes and impacting hormonal balance and fertility.
🍷 Alcohol: Reduces fertility and increases the risk of miscarriage, linked to lower fecundability and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
☕ Caffeine: Excessive intake interferes with nutrient absorption and increases miscarriage risk, reducing fertility.
🍬 High-Sugar Foods: Cause inflammation and aging of reproductive organs, leading to lower egg quality.
Avoiding these foods can help maintain optimal egg health and improve fertility.

LIVER HEALTH = HORMONE HEALTH ⤵️
As an herbalist, I find that cleansing is one of the most effective natural therapies I use.
✨ The body is constantly working to eliminate the old to make space for the new.
By incorporating cleansing herbs to support this natural function, you can accelerate the benefits and enhance overall health.
When it comes to reproductive health, the advantages of cleansing are particularly significant.
This is the recipe for healthy fertility:
📌Liver Health + Uterine Health
Fertility cleansing specifically targets these two crucial aspects, ensuring that your body is in the best possible condition for conception.
Why Cleansing Works:
🌿 Supports Natural Detoxification: Cleansing herbs assist the liver and other detox organs in removing toxins more efficiently.
🌿 Balances Hormones: By eliminating endocrine disruptors and excess hormones, cleansing helps to restore hormonal balance.
🌿Enhances Uterine Health: Cleansing helps to clear out old, stagnant blood and tissue, preparing the uterus for a healthy lining and successful implantation.
Fertility Cleansing focuses on these key areas to provide a comprehensive approach to reproductive health.
By supporting your body’s natural processes, you can create an optimal environment for conception and a healthy pregnancy.
That is why this is one of the first steps of my Natural Fertility Formula.
✨✨If you are ready to start supporting your hormone health and fertility this is a great place to start.

Why I keep talking about womb care packs...
Womb Care castor oil packs have become one of my top recommendations for supporting reproductive health.
Not only are castor oil packs relaxing and easy to use but there are many benefits to using castor oil packs for reproductive health, such as….
➡️ Reducing inflammation
The anti-inflammatory properties of castor oil have been proven to help alleviate inflammation in the area where it is applied. Considering many fertility issues (PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, failed IVF) are linked to high inflammatory markers, reducing inflammation is undoubtedly a priority for those looking to improve reproductive health.
➡️ Increasing circulation
Castor oil has the power to enhance circulation in the reproductive system, or where the pack is placed. This increased blood flow helps bring fresh, oxygen-rich, and nutrient-loaded blood to the region while aiding in detoxification and cleansing.
➡️ Body detoxification
Castor oil promotes lymphatic draining, one of the body’s primary detoxification systems. Castor oil is one of the few external therapies that can stimulate the lymphatic system to drain, which is exceptionally beneficial in reducing inflammation, aiding detoxification, and supporting reproductive health.
➡️ Pain relief
Another impressive feature of castor oil packs is the ability to alleviate discomfort and pain. Castor oil accomplishes this through a compound that reduces pain-causing prostaglandins and increases pain-reducing prostaglandins. This is beneficial, especially for those suffering from endometriosis or painful periods.
How to use Womb Care Castor Oil Packs:
👉 Use 3-4 times a week, all month long.
👉 If you’re trying to conceive, pause use after ovulation.
👉 Apply for at least 30 minutes per session.
