Infertility is a struggle so many women deal with privately, and even though medical protocols can help, they aren’t the solution for everyone. Modern medicine has made us forget that our bodies are made to heal themselves. We’re taught to normalize dis-regulation in our bodies and then use Band-Aid solutions instead of getting to the root cause.   How do we tune into our bodies and advocate for ourselves? How did our guest heal her body and go from a 1% chance of getting pregnant to a mom of 4 kids?   In this episode, Infertility Coach, Author and Publisher, Erica Hoke shares her journey to motherhood, and why the medical route isn’t always the best way to solve infertility.   You have to tune into not just pushing through what you’re feeling. -Erica Hoke   3 Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   -Your body is made to mend itself  Modern medicine’s approach to infertility is manipulating your body to get you pregnant. Why is it critical to get to the root cause of infertility?   -Advocate for yourself  How do we confidently take charge of what’s in our control and what we’re responsible for when it comes to our health?    -Learning to listen to your pain, discomfort and dis-regulation How has Erica built a movement of doing what works for our own health according to what our bodies are telling us?   Guest Bio Erica Hoke is an Author, Publisher, Infertility Mentor & Empowerment Coach who's on a mission to empower infertility patients and disrupt the reproductive medical system. At 35, Erica was told she had less than a 1% chance of ever conceiving naturally after struggling for years with endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR - so she refused to participate in traditional IVF or IUI methods and instead committed to getting to the bottom of her infertility issues via diet, lifestyle changes and traditional Chinese medicine. Today this fierce mom of four shares her inspiring story as a means to give hope to those still seeking a family through alternate paths. Through her free support group, group coaching opportunities and one-on-one sessions Erica mentors’ others through their own journeys while teaching them how to collaborate with their doctors in order to systematically address their obstacles before pursuing invasive and expensive treatments. For those who have battled and overcome infertility, Erica offers an opportunity to heal through book collaborations and the sharing of their stories - all in the hopes of helping others on their journeys.
