Ep. 58 - Could Functional Medicine Help Unlock the Block Between You and Your Baby?
Description
On today’s episode of the Badass Fertility Podcast we sit down with functional fertility expert and nutritionist, Olivia Mitchell. Olivia brings a wealth of wisdom and critical insights on how to get and stay pregnant even if you've been given an infertility diagnosis.
In fact, she challenges that term arguing it’s medically inaccurate and prefers the term “sub-fertility” because it indicates the truth: your fertility can be improved.
Olivia looks at fertility from a “whole body system” perspective. She teaches her clients how to get into what she calls “welcome baby mode” Olivia does this
by looking for the roots causes of sub-fertility of which she says there are three main ones:
- overlooked thyroid issues (even if you’ve had the panel
tested), - nervous system dysregulation,
- gut inflammation.
From there, we dive deep into topics like:
1. Why does the standard approach to fertility fail to help every couple?
2. What's the most powerful thing a TTC couple can do to support fertility?
3. Is TTC for a year before asking for support still good advice?
4. What's the deal with all the supplements out there for fertility?
5. What testing should someone get when starting to search for better answers?
If you’ve been trying all. the. things to get pregnant: done the standard testing, tried the standard approach (clomid, IUI, IVF, etc) and you’re still not pregnant or suffering
miscarriages, this show will provide enlightening info, in a non-scary way, for you.
