September 01, 2022Episode 160 - Egg Quality, It's Time For Some Real Talk with Nora DeBora
Let’s welcome back Nora DeBora, a holistic health coach, and talk about improving egg quality. All of us need a little of that, so, we're just gonna dive right in!
Meet NoraHey, I’m Nora, a Holistic Preconception Planning coach helping women like you achieve your best possible health before you get pregnant.
With over 6 years of coaching experience and education in holistic nutrition, movement and mindfulness, I have created a holistic practice around Preconception Planning.
I have found that fertility and pregnancy require a complex interplay of nutrients and hormones, all of which can be affected by your food choices, stress and your environment. Taking the time to prepare and nourish the body prior to starting, or after running into difficulties is a wonderful way to set up the best possible environment for conception to occur.
The research shows that by living an optimal preconception lifestyle, your chances of conceiving naturally and having a healthier baby drastically improves!
Here is what to expect from today’s episode:
The biology of the egg cell and the environment it thrives in; and
How to improve egg and sperm quality (nutrition tips).

It can feel like crap, so, let me share with you a really useful, super simple skill for handling when you are absorbing other people's energy.

How to acknowledge the energy you are feeling
How to decide your next step
