  • Episode 6 - What is Methylation, and Settling the Score Between Folate and Folic Acid

    Send us Fan Mail

    There is a lot of confusion around folate versus folic acid.  You might have read that folate is better, but your doctor might have recommended folic acid.  To understand which is truly better, we have to understand a process called methylation.  In this episode, we explore:

    • What methylation and DNA methylation is
    • How it affects your body
    • The essential nutrients for methylation
    • Folate vs. folic acid: which is better

    I'm curious to hear about your thoughts on this.  Please do not hesitate to contact me.

  • Episode 2 - What TCM Tells You About Hormone Balance Without Bloodwork

    Send us Fan Mail

    Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been around for thousands of years.  Have you ever wondered how doctors were able to help women get pregnant without actually knowing anything about blood chemistry or how hormones work as we understand it in the present day?  

    In this episode, you'll learn the perspective of Chinese medicine on fertility.  We uncover how the four vital substances—Qi, blood, yin, and yang—interact through the menstrual cycle and impact hormonal balance, and ultimately, fertility.

    • Explanation of the four vital substances and their roles in the body
    • Overview of the four phases of the menstrual cycle in TCM
    • Introduction of the 10 Parameters of a Fertile Cycle
    • Key insights into why a regular cycle isn't always a fertile cycle

  • Episode 1 - Fertility Basics: All the Major Hormones and a Few That You Didn't Know About

    Send us Fan Mail

    Whether you've been trying to conceive for a while or you're just starting the process, chances are, you've heard of the common female hormones such as FSH, estrogen, and progesterone. But hormone interactions are nuanced and complex.  It's not as straightforward as "normal estrogen levels equal fertility."  In fact, normal rarely means optimal.  There are other hormones that make conception possible behind the scenes as well.  

    In this episode, we explore the complex interplay of several well-known hormones and a few not-so-well-known ones and their critical roles in conception. Here is what to expect:
     
    • An overview of the major fertility hormones 
    • The importance of hormones acting in conjunction and what happens when they don't
    • Hormones in supporting roles that are critical for fertility  
    • Common misconceptions about how hormones work
