Listen Later

Infertility is a heavy subject. In this episode I’m joined by naturopath and midwife Carmen and we explore the topic of infertility and nutrition. Through her work as a naturopath and midwife she helps mothers (to-be) to find root causes of their struggles rather than treating the symptoms. Learn more how you can be proactive when it come to your health!
 

 
I’ve talked about a holistic approach to healing a postpartum depression before. In this episode we take it a step back and explore the time before conception and during pregnancy. Carmen is passionate about sharing her knowledge of midwifery and naturopathy to help mothers find a better balance. We talked about how infertility and nutrition play a role in exploring different options for couples who struggling.
Infertility is a big topic nowadays. More and more couple struggle with conceiving. Once they go into the medical system, about 20 to 30% comes out without an explainable cause. In those cases it’s good to know you have options besides the medical system to help boost your fertility in a natural way. Of course this doesn’t mean that nutrition can fix everything, but a holistic approach to fertility might be the answer for some couples.
Little heads up, we experienced some difficulties with Carmen’s sounds quality but the episode is a gem full of valuable information so I hope you can see (listen) through it.
