We welcome naturopath Dr. Cynthia Hall to the show! Today we talk about to talk about improving fertility the importance of boundaries, tracking your cycle and so much more!

Join as we discuss:

• How tracking your cycle improves your overall health
• Markers for inflammation
• Prenatal Vitamins
• Trauma from an energetic standpoint
• The ways nutrition helps improve fertility

NOTE* We discussed with Dr. Hall after the show that beef liver is safe to take during conception and pregnancy. The concern is too much vitamin A but the studies have shown it's only with Vitamin A supplementation not in food.  Take in smaller doses and work with a practitioner of doula educated in nutrition. Beef liver has a lot of important vitamins and minerals for pregnancy especially copper. Check out this article on the subject!
