Have you ever asked your fertility physician if you should eliminate gluten and/or dairy? Have you wondered if your diet and gut health are optimal enough for a successful outcome? Have you done all of the elimination diets and then beat yourself up after having a pastry or something similar?

You are not alone. The majority of people in your situation have these recurrent thoughts, and the question is--how do we sort what is evidence-based and what is not? How do we live our lives with some enjoyment of food instead of strict rules and shame?

In this mind-blowing episode, Dr. Vivian walks us through the following:

• the 3 components of gut health
• the most common ways gut issues and fertility issues show up together
• evidence-based, foundational nutrition strategies for optimal health 
• integrative tools for improving outcomes, including intuitive eating
• the gut brain axis and working through trauma 
• elimination diets and what everyone should avoid 

You will not regret listening. May we each take with us something which will improve our health and our outcomes.
