In today's episode we're talking about the factors you can control to improve your ability to conceive. The best first step in your fertility journey is a consultation with a doctor or fertility specialist. Seek help if within six months of regular periods you have been unable to get pregnant.

If you're trying to successfully conceive, having regular periods is a good sign. It should also last between 3 and 7 days. If you're suffering from severe pain during your periods, you'll want to get this checked out—you could have endometriosis. which affects almost half of couples who are trying to conceive.

Men concerned about their fertility health should get a sperm analysis. There's no way to tell how healthy the sperm is without this analysis. You can also rule out other issues with additional tests, like hormone testing. Lifestyle changes like limiting consumption of alcohol, avoiding hot tubs and saunas, and taking specific vitamins and supplements can support sperm quality.

Women who want to get pregnant should consider taking folate, vitamin D, inositol (vitamin B8), and arginine. Minerals like selenium and magnesium are also fertility supportive. Taking a multivitamin or prenatal vitamin isn't enough if you're already struggling to get pregnant—you need nutrients capable of supporting your body's mitochondrial function.

Just because you take these vitamins, it doesn't guarantee that they will work. Your best option is to use IV vitamin therapy, which is a laser-focused delivery that rejuvenates and revives your mitochondria, at least in the short term.
