On today's Deep Dive Friday episode, Cody visits with Brittney Motzkus, a Certified Personal Trainer that specialized in Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) Recovery. Hypothalamic Amenorrhea is a condition in which menstruation stops for several months due to a problem involving the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is in the center of the brain that controls reproduction.

Brittany shares her personal story of infertility, and how her intense focus on health and fitness was actually the root cause of her infertility. Today she shares with us how she discovered the connection, how she went about getting a diagnosis and most importantly how she went about healing her body with specific nutrition and lifestyle strategies.

Here are the links to the resources that were mentioned on today's episode:

If you know someone who is struggling to conceive, consider how you could walk alongside this person. What would this friend or family member need? Maybe it's time and space to process, maybe it's a listening ear, or maybe it's a funny cat video on a depressing day.

On today's episode Cody and Jess welcome their dear friend, Jen Perez. You may know her! She is one of Mixher's Customer Service gurus. Chances are she has answered your questions or has responded to your comments.  Jen shares with us her own personal infertility story, and shares some loving advise for all of us that know and love someone who is experiencing infertility, and want to know how to show we care, what should say, and how we can support in the best ways.

We love Jen, and appreciate all of the wisdom and positivity she shares with us today.

Infertility can be a lonely road, but you don’t need to walk it alone.

There’s no denying the fact that infertility can take a major toll on your mental and physical health.

The hormones, the disappointment, the needles and tests all impact your well-being. There is no way to describe the overwhelming pain associated with trying — and failing — to build a new life and new family with your bundle of joy.

But what is less often talked about is the impact infertility can have on the current relationships in your life.

Infertility is often a very lonely experience, a fact that is only made worse by the drastic shifts it causes in existing relationships. Shame, embarrassment, and stigma all have effects. Financial strain, lack of communication, and contradictory coping strategies can all amount to major rifts between loved ones.

You may remember today’s guest Mandi Bishop from Hope For Fertility, an organization that offers grants to couples all across the United States who are struggling with infertility. They offer financial assistance towards infertility treatments, surrogacy or adoption. Mandi and her business partner McCall Weekes shared their own personal stories of infertility on episode 47. 

On today’s episode Cody and Jess welcome Mandi back along with Mandi’s husband, Dave Bishop. Together they share what infertility was like for each of them, and how it impacted their relationship. We appreciate how open and honest they both are. Tune in, you’ll definitely be inspired by their story.

For more information about Hope For Fertility you can visit their website at www.hopeforfertility.org  or follow them on Instagram @hopeforfertility.

When a woman is referred for pelvic floor physical therapy, what’s involved? Is there evidence behind the treatments, and what exactly does pelvic floor therapy look like? 

Who should see a pelvic floor therapist? If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should look into it:

• Pain during urination or when the bladder is full
• Urine leakage when coughing, sneezing or laughing
• A strong urge to urinate yet feeling unable to empty the bladder
• Painful bowel movements and/or constipation
• Pain during or after sex
• Pain during vaginal exams or when using a tampon
• Prolapse, i.e. the sensation that the pelvic organs are dropping
• Lower abdominal pain
• Chronic pain linked to endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome or fibromyalgia

On today's episode, Jess and Cody visit with their guest Whitney Laycock. Whitney shares her story on how she discovered pelvic floor therapy after she was suffering with many debilitating symptoms following the birth of her first child.

Are you struggling with infertility, PMS, mood swings, weight gain, or low libido? If so, you could be dealing with a hormone imbalance such as estrogen dominance. Having high estrogen levels — known as estrogen dominance — is not only linked to a set of frustrating and uncomfortable symptoms, it also puts you at risk for a whole host of chronic issues.

From fatigue and irritability to autoimmune conditions and cancer, estrogen can wreak havoc on your body if it’s not in proper balance with your other reproductive hormones, such as progesterone.

And here’s the hard truth: Estrogen dominance is at an all-time high. We’re seeing high estrogen rates increase dramatically across the board, in both women and men, across all age ranges. And the rates of cancers and chronic illnesses linked with estrogen dominance are on the rise right along with it.

Because of all this, Cody wanted to do another Deep Dive Friday episode, because there is so much to talk about on this subject! On today's episode Cody walks you through what estrogen dominance is and how you’re exposed to xenoestrogens. And she shares simple nutrition and lifestyle changes you can make to minimize your risk of estrogen dominance. She also covers how you can naturally clear estrogen from your system and maintain an optimal hormonal balance. We always love to getting effective action steps from Cody that we can start implementing right away.
