In this episode, I sit down with Tina, a Functional Diagnostic Practitioner, a previous team member, to talk about a topic that’s often overlooked - secondary infertility. If you’ve had one child and are now struggling to conceive again, you’re not alone. We unpack why secondary infertility happens, what testing to consider, and how to shift your mindset through this emotional journey. Each pregnancy is a gift and not a guarantee. Our goal is to help you build the family of your dreams by uncovering the root cause of what’s getting in the way. Tune in to learn more.
