I sat down with Susan Portz, who is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and IVF sister. Susan is passionate about helping women navigate their fertility journey with compassion & without guilt or unnecessary diet restrictions. Susan is incredibly open and vulnerable about her journey with infertility and I think this will be so helpful for other women going through it, or for those looking to support loved ones on a fertility journey.

What we cover: 

• Susan’s personal fertility journey and what she has learned along the way 
• A look into the process of IVF as well as the cost
• Things to consider throughout your fertility journey - things to check for, specialists to see, etc.
• How and why to advocate for yourself 
• The mental & emotional toll of a fertility journey 
• How to navigate the IVF process with your partner
• How she and her husband have coped differently & together 
• How to support loved ones going through IVF/fertility treatments 
• How to stay positive while going through a fertility journey 
• And more!
