Looking to improve sp3rm count and health? 🐳

There are many steps to take, but the first should be to cut out anything that can cause damage.

🌲 Don’t carry cell phones in pockets or put laptops on the lap. EMF’s have been shown to reduce count.

🌲 Ditch the whity tighties. Too much heat can reduce count.

🌲 Eat a diet high in minerals and nutrients needed for healthy production.

Some of the most important nutrients are….

👉 Zinc, selenium, CoQ10, Vi E, Folate, B12, Vi C and L Carnitine.

🌲 Avoid xenohormones - chemicals found in body care and cleaning products that mimic estrogen and cause hormonal imbalance.

🌲 Support healthy hormone balance in men. YES they experience imbalances as well.

🌲 Use herbs and supplements to help support production….

Do you have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)? If so, you have plenty of company. Over 30% of women over age 35 have a thyroid problem. In fact, women are ten times more likely to experience a thyroid challenge than men! Having a thyroid problem affects virtually every area of your health. The menstrual cycle, and truly all of your body’s processes, depends on proper thyroid health and function.

Hypothyroidism is a common, undetected factor for menstrual cycle problems and fertility issues for many women we work with. For these women, restoring thyroid health can be the answer to solving long-standing menstrual cycle problems, and improving chances for conception and a healthy pregnancy (thyroid problems can increase miscarriage risk).

Iron is an important nutrient for regular ovulation. 🥚

Women who do not get sufficient amounts of iron may suffer anovulation (lack of ovulation) and possibly poor egg health, which can inhibit pregnancy at a rate 60% higher than those with sufficient iron stores in their blood.*

➡️ Food sources: Lentils, spinach, sesame seeds, kidney beans, pumpkin seeds (raw), venison, garbanzo beans, navy beans, molasses, beef.

*Study source - 2014 report in the International Journal of Current Research and Academic Review.

Some reasons to avoid plastic and other hormone disruptors….. 👇

They contain chemicals called xenohormones. ❌

These chemicals mimic the actions of estrogen in our bodies by do so in a much stronger way than our bodies’ estrogen. 😵

Getting daily micro exposure can cause hormone imbalances like estrogen dominance.

Plastic water bottles, plastics heated in microwaves and some other chemicals found in body care and household cleaners are the biggest culprits.

👇 To learn more about which chemicals to avoid type ESTROGEN in the comments below and I will send you my Estrogen Dominance Guide. 💛👇

Foods to avoid when trying to get pregnant…. 🍬🍞🥫

1️⃣ Foods with added sugars

Candy, donuts, soda, sugary drinks, sugary foods.

FRUIT IS NOT WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

Fruit has naturally occurring sugars that are totally different from processed foods with added sugars.

2️⃣ Fried foods

Stay away from fried foods which cause inflammation, low nutritional value and can cause inflammation.

3️⃣ Chronic stress

When the body has high levels of cortisone the reproductive system will be the first system that stops getting resources.

Take daily steps to help reduce stress and lower chronic stress.

Some of my favorite stress reducing activities are:

💗 Meditation
💗 Massage
💗 Exercise
💗 EFT
💗 Breathwork
💗 Therapeutic essential oils such as lavender
💗 Therapy
💗 Hot baths
💗 Nature walks
💗 Earthing
💗 Kick boxing
💗 Mediation :)

What is your favorite way to release stress?

🌱 One of my favorite ways to support fertility and hormone health is through herbs.

Over the past 20+ years that I have been an herbalist I have seen what herbs can do to help turn someone’s health around.

When it comes to fertility there are a lot of different herbs that you can use. But they all have different actions. There is no one herb that fits all for fertility.

That is one of the reasons I make herbal blends & formulas.

Three of my favorite herbs are vitex, maca and shatavari, but they each have different effects on the body.

So the key to success with fertility herbs is to first figure out what is going on in your body and then you can pick the right herbal formula for you.

You can do this by charting your fertility (I have a lot of posts about fertility charting on my feed as well as my website) and also paying attention to your period. 🩸

To learn more about my herbal formulas for fertility support type HERBS in the comments below and I’ll share a link to my formulas 👇👇

🥚 In the past, a common belief was that the only factor which determines ovarian and egg health was age.

Based on new studies, we now know that this may not be true. 🤯

There are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

In addition, having healthy fertility is based on many additional aspects to consider, including:
➡️ Proper circulation
➡️ A healthy fertility cycle
➡️ Balanced hormones
➡️ Healthy eggs

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility.

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an egg’s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. ⏳

This journey takes about 90 days.

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 months from now.

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI.

🙂 The good news is that there are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs. There is too much info to put into this tiny caption but….

The answer is YES. The menstruation phase of a monthly fertility cycle is only one stage of the cycle.

There are many other times of the month that are even more important like:

🌸 Follicular phase: When the lining is growing and follicles are maturing

🌸 Ovulation: When the egg is released

🌸 Implantation: When the fertilized egg implants

🌸 Luteal phase: The time period between ovulation and the next cycle needs to be long enough for implantation to occur.

What does success look like on a fertility journey?

Take note of the little things that shift from cycle to cycle: Did your cramps go away? Has your cycle changed for the better? Did the spotting stop? Are you experiencing more energy?

Look for the wins as they come.

Preparing for pregnancy is one of the best steps you can take for a healthy pregnancy and child. Here are some steps to help you get started…. 👇

1️⃣ Eat a diet high in fiber. More fruits and veggies

Fiber helps the body to get rid of excess hormones and fruits and veggies are packed with fiber. They also are very hydrating and have lots of nutrients. All are useful for someone with heavy cycles.

2️⃣ Learn about your fertility cycle through tracking and charting

Fertility charting will help you to understand your current hormonal state, when or if you are ovulating and other information about your cycle that will help to bring clarity to your fertility path.

3️⃣ Fertility Cleanse 1-2x per year

The first phase of the Fertility Cleanse is a great way to help support the liver in it’s natural ability to get rid of excess hormones. The second phase focuses on the uterus and helping the uterus to cleanse and increase circulation.

If you’re dealing with a heavy period, ask yourself, “Is this just one cycle? Or has this been going on for a long time?”

If you’re frequently nonstop bleeding for more than seven days of your cycle, you should go see your doctor. This level of heavy bleeding can become dangerous and could even cause anemia.

This post is geared for more “normal” heavy bleeding – meaning you bleed for five to seven days per cycle. But after that, it stops.
