In this episode, I am breaking down using the Fertility Awareness Method(FAM) for conception. It is essential that BOTH partners are taking good care of themselves to optimize both sperm and egg quality. It is equally important that you understand when you are and when you are not fertile during your cycle so you are timing sex correctly! Tune in to learn more about optimizing your chances of conception using FAM!

In this episode I share about tracking and charting your fertility using the fertility awareness method (FAM) for preventing pregnancy. Many women (and men) are intimidated by using this method for birth control. I get it. I was also taught that women could get pregnant every single day of the cycle as well. It can be really tough to accept that we have been misled for SO LONG! Most women are only fertile for 6 days of the month. When we can identify when we are and are not fertile, we are empowered to make decisions about how we will or will not engage sexually based on our intentions for pregnancy.

In this episode, I am breaking down what you need to know to use FAM to prevent pregnancy as well as some other considerations to keep in mind along the way.

In this episode, I share about my experience of finding out I was pregnant - using the Fertility Awareness Method. Discovering homebirth and the limited, but pretty negative experience with the Western medical model. 

I thought today would be a fun day to share this episode because tomorrow is my daughter's 3rd birthday!

Another solo episode for you today. In this episode, I am sharing with you some considerations before you decide to stop taking hormonal birth control (if you want to). My aim is not to convince you to stop taking it, but instead to empower you to make an informed choice to take it or not. I also share some ways to ensure a smoother transition off - things like; replete nutrients, supporting your gut, facilitating liver detoxification and working with holistic treatment providers to alleviate symptoms that may have motivated you to start taking birth control in the first place.

In this episode I chat with Claudia Petrilli. She is a women's functional health coach that helps women 35+ to improve their cycle, energy and mood with her program "The Hormone Rescue". 

From Claudia:

"I’ve been on the other side: debilitating PMS, unpredictable periods, mood swings, digestive issues, low libido, headaches, weight gain, and a prolactinoma…all before I turned 30.

I know exactly what it’s like to visit multiple doctors, get dismissed, shamed and sent home with medication (I took hormonal birth control for 13 years!) as the only solution.

When I sunk into a depression and my period went M-I-A, my gynecologist said “it’s fine – women don’t need to get their period – enjoy it!”. I knew right then and there that I had to advocate for my own health. No one else was going to do it for me and I was tired of spending YEARS searching for answers.

I knew something was wrong, so I quickly got another opinion, demanded more testing and was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. Had I not advocated for myself, I’m not sure how things would’ve turned out. I was able to get the care I needed and that’s when I set out to learn everything I could about women’s health and hormones – because no one should have to struggle like I did. And there’s a much better way.

I was so empowered and fired up, that I decided to go back to school to become a health coach. I became well-educated in functional health and women’s hormones, learning how food, lifestyle, nutrient deficiencies, stress, toxicity and gut health affect a woman’s monthly cycle."
