Today’s episode is part 2 of How to overcome limiting beliefs that are preventing you from pregnancy.

To quickly review, limiting beliefs are show stoppers.  They stop us in our tracks and prevent us from moving forward.  Just by having these beliefs, we do not think, do or say the things that the beliefs prevent us from thinking, doing or saying and we totally sabotage ourselves.

Limiting beliefs can be “I am not very good at this,” “this is too hard,” “I can never do this,” “I’m never going to get pregnant,” “ I’m that annoying person,” “people are going to laugh at me.”

And the ways we come up with these limiting beliefs is through life experiences, what others have said, our fears, and our assumptions that we know what others will do, think or say .  

So in today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how to actually overcome limiting beliefs whatever they might be.

Let’s dive right in.

Today, I want you to meet Heather, a member of the Practically Fertile Club.  

Heather has gone through three rounds of IUI and is currently taking a break to get healthy before trying again.  Heather’s challenges right now is with the nutrition plan.  She is trying to stick to the plan as closely as possible but is gaining weight instead of losing weight which she needs for optimal hormonal balance.  

The reason I reached out to Heather to offer her the honor coaching call is that I know so many of you are also struggling with the nutrition piece of the puzzle.  You think you’re doing the right thing, but you’re not getting the results you’re looking for.  

So I think you’re going to really enjoy this episode because it helps to know that you’re not alone.  I know some of you when you hear Heather’s story, you’ll be nodding your head “yes, that’s me.”  And even though no two people are alike and what I’m recommending for Heather isn’t necessarily what I would recommend for you, I know you’re still going to walk away with new ideas that might apply to your own situation.

I had Heather send me her food journal for a week prior to our call.  And we were able to uncover three reasons why she is gaining weight instead of losing weight.  

The good news is the last time I checked in with her, the weight had started to come off.

I’m so excited for you to listen to this, let’s jump into my on-air coaching call with Heather.

I touched on the core principle of Chinese medicine in episode #43. In that episode I talked about how the guiding principle of Chinese medicine is to always strive for balance.

But specifically what do we try to balance? You hear me tossing around the terms qi stagnation, qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency, what do these all mean?

In today's episode, we are going to talk about the four substances, Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang.

These four substances power your body by working together. When one of them is out of whack, it will affect the rest.

Let's dive in and find out why they're important and how they affect your balance.

In today’s episode, we are going to talk about the four substances, Qi, Blood, Yin and Yang.

Today, I’m going to talk about a topic that is for sure going to stir up a debate and I’m probably going to get some hate mail.

The topic is animal protein vs. plant-based protein.  I get this questions very often from the women with whom I consult.  “Really, I can have red meat?  I thought that was bad for you?”  Or “Really?  I read this book and it said plant based diets were way better for fertility so I stopped eating animal protein.”

We can have debate on ethics some other time, but if you’re trying to get pregnant and you’re asking for my advice, I’m going to be honest with you and tell you like it is because this is my area of expertise.  

When it comes to hormone balance, and especially trying to get pregnant, animal proteins provide the most complete source of amino acids which are the building blocks for hormones, and plant proteins do not.

Let’s dive in to take a deeper look.

Today, I actually want to revisit an old topic that we've talked about a lot this past year. And that is gut health.

I want to revisit gut health because since episode 3 aired, the responses and questions have been overwhelming because it's a new way of looking at nutrition, and how specifically it affects fertility.

In the US, salads are the go to "health" foods. And most people grew up drinking milk. So cutting out dairy and ditching the smoothies and salads for most people, presents a huge lifestyle change.

Through working with clients and talking to women in our private Facebook group, I see three main obstacles that people are encountering when they make this shift to no raw foods and no dairy.

So let's dive in and talk about how to overcome these obstacles.

1. Her journey to restart her cycle three years after coming off the birth control pill
