The gut-fertility connection is a topic I’m commonly asked about.

Perhaps it’s because A Gutsy Girl was born out of the conversation topics regarding infertility and digestive disease or perhaps it’s because it’s a common connection.

Either way, I brought a guest on the show today to talk through it all.
