Our bodies are so interconnected! The health of one area will often affect the healthy function of another area, especially when it comes to fertility. Chiara Estes (no relation), a registered dietitian who specializes in women's hormone health, shares with us today about the role of gut health in our fertility. Does it really matter? How much of a difference can it make? And what can we do about it now? It was an eye opening episode for me, as she shared some fascinating studies -- AND how quickly we can see change when we implement small steps. 

NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.

Let's face it: the Doctor's office can feel like an intimidating place. Knowing what to expect, and how to advocate for your knowledge and experience, can make an incredible difference in caring for your physical and mental wellbeing. Today's episode continues our Advocating in the Dr.'s Office Series by explaining what a transvaginal ultrasound is, what you can expect from the procedure, and practical tips to advocate for your comfort during the ultrasound. You never know when your doctor may want this ultrasound for diagnostic reasons, so listening now will help you feel prepared for whenever that time comes!

NOTE: This episode makes frequent use of the words vaginal, transvaginal, and vaginal canal.

I love sharing client stories! Today we talk with Lauren, who shares how her and her husband's openness to life benefitted their marriage. While some may assume their large family could not have been planned, Lauren lets us in on a secret: it was actually the opposite. Listen as she shares honestly about how they discerned each conception and how this journey has deepened their intimacy.

NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all ages. Each client's story is unique: Lauren shares openly about their fertility and ability to easily conceive and carry children. This may be a sensitive topic for those struggling to conceive or carry a pregnancy.

If you have painful periods or infertility, it's likely that you've wondered about endometriosis. A few years ago, it was announced that a test was now on the market that could tell you, through an endometrial biopsy, if endometriosis was your issue. Today's episode looks at the Receptiva test and how it may or may not help you get to the root cause of your health & fertility concerns with the guidance of Dr. Nicholas Kongoasa, Chief Surgeon at The Center for Restorative Reproductive Surgery and Chief Medical Officer of Reproductive Health Medicine & Gynecology, both based in Atlanta, GA.

NOTE: This episode does include anatomical terms like cervix, uterus, and vagina.
