KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Hormonal balance is crucial for fertility and overall health. The body's hormones play a significant role in fertility, and imbalances can lead to difficulties in conceiving. It is important to address hormonal imbalances through proper nutrition, stress management, and lifestyle changes.

• Naturopathic medicine takes a holistic approach to fertility. Unlike traditional allopathic medicine, which focuses on specific diseases or symptoms, naturopathic medicine considers the whole person and aims to optimize overall health and well-being. Naturopathic doctors use a combination of nutrition, herbs, acupuncture, and other natural therapies to support fertility.

• Traditional Asian medicine emphasizes balance and natural remedies. Traditional Asian medicine, such as Chinese medicine, focuses on restoring balance in the body and using natural remedies to promote health. This includes practices like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary adjustments. These principles can be applied to support fertility and overall health.
  
  

BEST MOMENTS
"Your hormones see, oh, there's a tiger. Do I hit it on the head or run away? And so over time, that high-performance lifestyle, if you're not fueling your body properly and getting the counterbalance, it's going to show up."

"So, you know, definitely with respect to talking about fertility and hormone balance, you know, I love working with high performers, with women who have a go, go, go lifestyle." 

"For women, we can do the same thing. We can kind of say, OK, what are some of your hormone levels doing? Not just estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, but what about cortisol? What about DHEA? What about melatonin? What are all of these things doing?"

"So, I'm there and I'm so excited and I'm talking to the owner and she's this beautiful woman who is Indigenous and she actually wants to help the other Indigenous women and empower them."
