Natural Fertility with Dr. Jane

Today I interviewed my husband…most people assume that my husband is a health nut and he is always onboard with what I am trying to get him to do. Nothing could be further from the truth. So if you are struggling to get your partner on board, wish he would care more - you need to listen to this episode (and send it to your partner).

I had to share some of the wins from my perimenopausal patient - this is part of the case study. So if you didn’t catch the first one, check out episode 115. For the last 6 months, we have been working HARD to turn the ovaries back on - get the FSH down to a more reasonable level (so she can qualify for PRP) and essentially get her cycle back. This case is truly inspiring and I want to make sure I capture the details of what we are doing in hopes that it will help you reverse perimenopause symptoms and bring a baby into this world. We still have a long way to go, but seeing the progress in the last 2 months has been incredibly rewarding. Tune in to learn more.

So in nine days, every single one of those samples will be different.""When I see the abnormal heads, I'm thinking DNA fragmentation, I'm thinking oxidative stress. And when we're talking about oxidative stress, we're thinking the amount of damage that's going on in the body is not being caught up by the repair for, aka, antioxidants. And so diet, lifestyle, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, exercise, too little or too much smoking, drinking, lack of sleep, all of these things are going to be impacted."Connect With Dr. Jane Levesque

If you have inflammation in the body, which I promise you, all of us does, even if we're carrying an extra two kilos or so, five to ten pounds, that's inflammation. If we have brain fog, if we have skin issues, if we are tired and our energy is all over the place, our hormones are all over the place, that's inflammation.""It's not enough just to take the CoQ10 and to take the right form. We need to understand the supplement company, how it's actually produced and how it's protected.""I never prescribe just one supplement to you guys because let's face it, there's never just one problem."Connect With Dr. Jane Levesque

In this episode of the Natural Fertility Podcast with Dr. Jane, I sat down with Mike Feldstein, an air quality expert and the founder of Jaspr, for part 2 of a very compelling conversation on air quality.  This time we discussed frequently asked questions from my listeners on how to improve air quality in your homes and your work environments.  I love Mike and what he has built.  I have 5 Jaspr in my home and the air quality difference is palpable.  I love connecting with like minded people who have their own health/fertility journey.  And because Mike is so generous, from October 8th to October 15th, 2024 my code DRJANE will give you an extra 20% off your Jaspr purchases (yes that will stack on top of the discounts you get when you purchase multiple units).  This is a great time to become a Jaspr owner and take your air quality to the next level.

As a clinician I am dedicated to staying on top of the latest research. Over the past 3 months I have had the pleasure of learning from Dr. Leah Hetchman - a globally respected naturopathic clinician specializing in fertility, pregnancy and comprehensive reproductive health. Today, I want to share some things that I have learned from her around lab testing. Believe it or not, you need to do more testing. If it’s unexplained infertility, you need to test. If you’re stuck, you need to test.  If you feel like something is missing, you need to test. So in this episode I share the lab testing that you should be doing to get to the root cause of your fertility struggles and create a personalized treatment plan based on your findings.
