                Hey there friend! Today I’m interviewing our very first guest expert on the show, Michelle Oravitz. Michelle L.Ac, FABORM, is an acupuncturist, specializing in Fertility Health. She found her love in Chinese medicine after it helped her through her own menstrual cycle challenges and this inspired her to change her career from architecture to acupuncture.

She recently authored a new book, The Way of Fertility, which dives deep into the energetics of fertility through the lens of ancient wisdom. Michelle believes that our bodies are hardwired to procreate and by connecting to our inherent wisdom, we can awaken our natural reproductive vitality. 

                 

                During our conversation, Michelle and I discuss:

                                              • 15. What I Really Think About Fertility Over 35

                                                Hey Friend! I’m celebrating my birthday and am officially 35 years old, so of course I wanted to share some of my beliefs about fertility over 35. If you’ve ever thought that getting pregnant later in life isn’t possible, or that it would be challenging, or if you’ve ever been told that your chances are slim, or near impossible, then be sure to tune in, because this message is for you.
