    Your health doesn't have to be perfect to conceive

    In today’s episode I’ll be sharing some insights into the idea that your health doesn't have to be perfect to successfully conceive. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to achieve optimal health before starting your fertility journey, you're not alone. I want to reassure you that conception is possible even when things aren't picture-perfect. Our bodies are remarkably resilient and capable, often working their magic even when we feel we're falling short of ideal health standards. Remember, your journey is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach to fertility.
