Let's Talk IVF

There are so many myths surrounding the whole foods plant based (WFPB) lifestyle, so I thought that I would chat with dietitian Nicole Bathurst to get some clarity.   She busts those big myths and gives us the facts and truths about this way of living and fueling.   Nic helps women, step off the dieting roller coaster and transition to a plant-based lifestyle, while they achieve a healthy body weight. She has been a passionate plant advocate since she got breast cancer in 2013 and discovered the health and weight loss benefits of a diet powered by plants.   You can contact Nic using the links below and her recipes are delicious ...    https://naturallynic.com.au/   https://naturallynic.com.au/newsletter-plant-based-sign-up/   https://www.facebook.com/NaturallyNicWA   https://www.instagram.com/nicole.naturallynic/   https://www.linkedin.com/in/naturallynic/   http://bit.ly/NaturallyNicYouTube

I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Dr Charlie Ward today 🌟 We had a great discussion about all things fertility and what is going on in the world currently! Charlie has been moving money around the world for various agencies and private companies/individuals for many years and was warned of the pandemic and financial collapse well before it happened. When he started talking about world events at the beginning of 2020 he had 30 or so people following his channel, now he has over 18 million! Charlie is a regular voice in our home for the last 2 years, so it was wonderful to finally meet and share information 🙏 This interview is a raw and unedited copy of our conversation.

Stacy Hayes is a MMA, Boxer and High End Security Professional. In March 2021 she had her first AZ shot and things have never been the same since. Stacy tells her story of how she is coping with her ongoing health issues and how long it took to get some answers from the different doctors and hospitals over the last 9 months. If you know any women who have been injured and would like to share their story, we would love to speak with them, men too, as this is impacting male fertility as well.

For the last 18 months, I have watched the world as I know it turn upside down. Civil rights and liberties have been stripped from the people, as quickly and effortlessly as this ‘novel coronavirus’ appeared on our doorsteps in January 2020. Let me start by giving you a pre-frame here, what I am about to discuss with you today is based on my own research, I encourage you to do the same, research, research and then do some more research. I will provide you with the links from mine, including patent numbers, videos discussing money transactions, research paper articles of both published and those confidential in nature articles. Ultimately at the end of the day, please consider this as information that I would give to my own children, anyone that I love and my clients. With that pre-frame, I invite you to sit back and enjoy the story that I am about to tell you. This represents approximately 0.03% of my research, there is so much more to this world wide event, I encourage you to remain open and stay curious. http://ivfcoachingclinic.com.au/podcast/do-your-own-research/

When you think about your progress so far trying to have a baby, there are a lot of setbacks. It starts when you first realise that things are not working as you had planned. Having a baby is supposed to be the most natural thing in the world, until it isn’t! The months of disappointment soon become years for some women and at some point, the whole process becomes a blur of let downs, setbacks and bad news. Each time your period arrives, it is another reminder of your body’s rebellion against you. Every pregnancy test stick with that one line instead of two, is another failure.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Lorne Brown who is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine at the Acubalance Wellness Centre in Vancouver Canada. We talked about Laser Acupuncture which is used for fertility clients and also those who are trying to conceive naturally. Older patients, PCOS, Endometriosis and Sperm Motility are just some of the treatments options available at the centre. Laser Acupuncture is officially called low level laser therapy (LLLT). The scientific community now refers to it as photobiomodulation because both lasers and LED lights are used.  Technically, Laser Acupuncture is the process of emitting photons of light, usually red or infrared, into acupuncture points.

Time is our most precious resource and yet, we are slaves to the masters of the clock and the calendar. However, have you ever noticed that it is the busiest people who are also the most productive? What is their secret? How do they seem to have it all together? And how on earth can they manage this whilst trying to get pregnant? Much of your journey to parenthood involves this concept – timing. From recording period dates, to stopping contraception, to calculating ovulation dates, to working out optimal days for abstinence – it all boils down to timing.

Jasmine Katatikarn was in her doctors office when she was given the news that she had a 1% chance of having a baby using her own eggs! The doctor said her only way forward was to use donor oocytes and that she would not be offered any other fertility treatment option. Shocked and in disbelief, Jasmine left her doctors office and went straight to back to work. It was through her work as an Artist that Jasmine suddenly saw her fertility challenge through new eyes and then things began to change for her.

I get asked a great deal, just what is it that you do? Well, when I am not podcasting and interviewing for the show, I help clients who want to have a baby, some are just starting their fertility treatment, others have already had fertility treatment without success. We have all heard of Life Coaching and Wellness programs in the corporate world and coaching when it comes to athletes and sport. Coaching is a method of learning and for having a baby, we are focussed on the much the needed support for the emotional side of this process. Clinics will advise that they have a counsellor or psychologist who talk to their patients, which is fantastic for the patients who want to talk about their problems. Coaching is not that at all, it is a completely different concept. If you would like to work with me, you can also book a free introduction call with me to discuss how I can help you and see if we are a good fit ... the link to book this call is below ... www.ivfcoachingclinic.as.me The study that I mention in this podcast is below ... https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.3594.epdf?sharing_token=GGP1tUEJ4-Y-uOZ0XXcu1tRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0PNRKbL1XKfDUHrLnX87GGppyj-gR9-bCs9xsAkAVaTleWhOvip9wXVZwtAiBRii081MCNbqbV2SVv-KZVa8DBLWiT7hE0kAK4fuLnB8bkUKr861-dpm98iaBcUz3cx71FIC6MpPcQYBfsVbLmnuBXV3VSEP9FgTIkC05BcWxjQGNxH8j84H1wtyLy67BHyZPz1xC_C4YzrZ4tpoFFY-JfRLERQ2tHiDfk9jOoFYHRsjQ%3D%3D&tracking_referrer=www.scientificamerican.com  

Wow, what a crazy world that we are living at the moment, I wake up every morning alternating between the feeling of Ground Hog Day and the Twilight Zone. In this time of uncertainty, we have seen elective surgeries close, private hospital and clinics shut their doors, essentially stopping many people on their pathway to parenthood. Whether your treatment has been delayed, your surrogate is overseas and you cannot get into the country or your age is making the delay unbearable – no matter what your individual circumstances are currently - stress, uncertainty and financial impact are major worries touching everyone worldwide. So, what can you do to increase your wellbeing? It is important that these 3 top hacks are – universal, affordable and have ease of access. If these hacks are free and simple, anyone can do them, right?

I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing the incredible Katia Foy, who is a Youth Case Worker at Bernardos. At the age of 11 years, Katia had a knee injury and after a series of appointments with various doctors, discovered that she had Turners Syndrome. Katia's story is inspirational, she is absolutely fearless and we discussed her fertility options, dating and friendships.

In this episode of Let's Talk IVF we are discussing embryo grading the basics, when does it start, how often is this done and what are those scores at the end of cycle at embryo transfer? This episode was requested by the wonderful Mary Vietzke who is a Registered Nurse, thank you for your input and idea.  

In this podcast we are discussing the practical aspects of AI technology and how this is currently being used in the laboratory. Dr Kaylen Silverberg discusses using FET (frozen embryo transfer) only in his clinics, which is giving greater pregnancy rates. Kaylen is the Medical Director of Texas Fertility Center, a large network of fertility clinics located in Central Texas and also the Co-Founder of Ovation Fertility, a national network of IVF labs, genetics labs and partner physician practices. Artificial intelligence in fertility treatment is the future    

In my Webinar, I discuss the key aspects to having a successful cycle and it is something that I also discuss in my Strategy Calls with clients, so, I thought it would be good to share some of this with you in the podcast. When you undertake fertility treatment, no-one imagines just how much it will consume your entire life and impact every other relationship that you have currently. In fact, for many clients ttc it has already taken up a great deal of the lives up until this point. I speak to many clients about different clinics, costs and options in our calls, it is a very common theme after having your first couple of cycles without success. If you would like to connect with me to talk about your fertility journey, you can book your initial call through the website at www.ivfcoachingclinic.com.au or the calendar link www.ivfcoachingclinic.as.me
