I am so excited to be talking with Dr. Elizabeth Wade, a Naturopathic Doctor here in Portland, OR. Elizabeth and I both attended the same school, and in this episode, we dive deep into the emotional, physical and spiritual components of fertility. We share personal stories as well as amazing tips whether you are looking to get pregnant now or later on down the line. Or even just to optimize your hormones now! Some topics we cover are: nutrition, glyphosate, wifi, hypnobirthing, male and female infertility, and so how we can optimize ourselves to conceive. 

Jasmine's Recommendations: - Probiotic: SilverFern Brand - Vitamin D: Standard Process - Magnesium: Standard Process - Cold Liver Oil (Standard Process)   For purchasing Standard Process, please email [email protected] and Jasmine will assist you in ordering some! Standard Process provides the highest quality, food-based supplements that our body recognizes, which is why I use them above all other supplements! I find they are superior to most other brands, as our body recognized the ingredients because they are made out of FOOD.    Dr. Elizabeth Wade's Recommendations:    Top 5 supplements that I believe most people would benefit from, regardless of health history include:

1. Magnesium: favorite brands include Integrative Therapeutics Magnesium glycinate, Seroyal/UNDA Magnelevures and Alka Calm by Professional Formulas)
2. Probiotic: MegaSporeBiotic, only sold to practitioners - they can email me if they would like to order some
3. Fish Oil: Integrative Therapeutics Pure Omega Ultra HP Softgels, Omega-genics Cod Liver oil, or Nordic Naturals brand
4. Vitamin D3/K2: NutraBiogenesis 

For prenatal care or fertility support, I add in:    Prenatal - Favorite Prenatal: Full Circle Prenatal one of the only prenatals with choline which is an essential nutrient in pregnancy! - I also like FemOne by Metabolic Maintenance but it does not contain choline so I will use it in combination with Vital Nutrients Choline550 (bitartrate)   CoQ10: I often used Ortho Molecular Products, Bioclinic Naturals or Integrative Therapeutics depending on dose Active B-Complex by Integrative Therapeutics   If you want to purchase any of these, Dr. Wade will be happy to set you up with an account fullscript buy.
