I interviewed Carolina just after she graduated with her Masters Degree in nutrition- but trust me the knowledge from her degree is nothing in comparison to the real life experience she brings us in this episode

Carolina was diagnosed with anovulatory PCOS and after only 4 months on keto she experienced a cycle for the first time in 16 years!!

She has since lost lost 200 pounds on keto, completely rid her PCOS symptoms and gotten pregnant -with TWINS! (talk about enhancing fertility) s

she shares simple substations, snack ideals and her simple and easy to remember formula for each of her meals

she makes KETO look and sound easy

some other topics;:

-liver for fertility: this is a huge one!! its coming up everywhere!! hear about how her naturopath had her eat liver every day for a week and her iron count doubled-sound of eating liver make you queasy? don’t worry! she gives us some other ways to incorporate it !

-Fat and fertility

-how quantity/quality of carbs can effect fertility

she’s done the research, she’s read the literature, and she loves the science!

also – please don’t make any changes to your diet without doing your own research – Carolina acknowledges, and I acknowledge, that everyones body is different and what worked for her may not work for you……..

some updates, personally and podcast-ally

Everyone’s telling me they’re proud of me for sharing my journey

Trust me I love and appreciate it and I’m proud of me too!

No ones telling him they proud of him

So – K- I’m here to tell you that and to tell the world that

It takes a real man to stand up with his wife even when it might make him look vulnerable. You’ve been nothing but supportive and encouraging with this podcast (#Pitta). I couldn’t have continued with this podcast if you weren’t on board. I can’t talk about this journey without talk about you bc you’re 50% of my equation.

And you’ve dealt with me trying the oils and the supplements and the tinctures and the naturopath. AND you’re my number one Guinnea pig- my patient zero. and even when you roll your eyes you’re still willing to try things for me and for the sake of our future family.

let’s be clear though – I’m a freaking awesome wife.

ladies, don’t forget to tell your man how much you love him and appreciate him. He is after all your first baby and even when your babies do come he will proooooobably still require the most attention

Love you so much K. And I can’t wait for babies.

– Wife

For years Julie wasn’t ovulating on her own. After seeking medical attention, Julie was prescribed Clomid (a common fertility drug) and after few cycles got pregnant with twins!

A couple of years later when she was ready to expand her family, Julie decided to go through another Clomid cycle, and got pregnant with her daughter Hope. At a regular 24 week check up, the doctor couldn’t find a heart beat.

Julie talks about this emotional time in her life and opens up about how she handled that grief, and how she now celebrates her daughter

Was there a reason Hope wasn’t born? Julie and I talk about this. Maybe there was a reason for her short time on this planet.

6 weeks after losing her daughter Hope, still filled with grief, Julie found her reason. She was surprised to find herself pregnant – naturally – for the first time ever, with her third son Finn!

She says “if we had Hope, we wouldn’t have had Finn”

ok ladies!! we’ve all been there

you went to CVS (or amazon), bought your #OPK (ovulation predictor kit), and it turned blue!!

now – GAME TIME.

clocks ticking…

but really though how sexy is it call your husband and say “ I’m ovulating, we need to have sex RIGHT NOW”

what did I try? I put it as a calendar event in iCal (LOL )…that was not the sexiest !!

THATS WHY I asked my next guest DR Nazanin Moali to interview on the podcast!!

Dr Moali is a licensed clinical psychologist, consultant, and a published researcher. She is also the host of Sexology, a podcast that untangles the science of sex and pleasure

some things we talk about:

-naked happy hour

enjoy this episode ! its a juicy one

Im excited to bring you Amanda’s episode for so many reasons:

-This is the first story that involves male diagnosis only. this was Such a great perspective for me and so relatable because although our stories are somewhat different – they have many similarities and it brought up a lot of questions for me personally that you’ll be able to hear me ask like: am i delaying the inevitable ? and what if I have this IVF back up plan but it doesn’t actually work?

-This is not an IVF horror story!! This is proof (and hope) that it’s possible to do just one round and be successful on that round 

-We also talk about this very REAL feeling of having to grieve the perfect cute way to surprise your husband with a pregnancy when he already knows it could be coming

-Focusing more on your feelings of hope rather than feelings of fear (if its even possible)

-And my favorite part, she ends it by saying – feel free to reach out to me – if you need a friend or want to talk, please reach out i will always be happy to hear from you . sometimes its easy to feel like yours on an island – no one else that your friends with is going through IVF and feel like you have no one to talk to about it- then start to talk to people about it an realize so many other going through;  one of my favorite parts about this podcast is the  new friends I’m making  

Thank you Amanda for being so brave and sharing your story with us.
