    What Hair Loss Has To Do With Preconception Health and How To Restore Your Hair and Fertility with Julie Olson

    What Hair Loss Has To Do With Preconception Health and How To Restore Your Hair and Fertility with Julie Olson

    We’re digging into what thinning/shedding hair means for reproductive health.
    Being told that hair shedding or thinning is normal is frustrating, especially when trying to conceive.
    If you notice a noticeable change in your hair, this is a clue to examine your health more closely.
    It’s not about selecting the right shampoo or serum (although this can help). It’s about determining why your hair is shedding or thinning in the first place.
    Medical gaslighting is real, and being told changes in your hair are normal (nothing to worry about) is not helpful.
    If you are TTC and your hair is experiencing changes, it’s time to figure out why so you can improve your hair and your fertility.
    I’m excited to welcome Julie Olson to the podcast. Julie is a triple-certified nutritionist and functional medicine expert, named a “Top 23 Expert to Watch in the Health & Wellness Space” by the Los Angeles Tribune Magazine, host of the “Healthy Body, Healthy Hair: The Truth About Hair Loss” summit.
     
    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    1) What is normal hair shedding, and what type of hair loss needs to be investigated further
    2) Reasons for hair loss and solutions to help (once addressed, this improves pregnancy success, too).
    3) Biomarkers to ensure are optimal to prevent hair loss and restore hair growth
    4) Nutrition, supplements, serums and shampoo to help with hair loss

    Why Getting To The Bottom of Your Anxiety Can Optimize Fertility and Improve Pregnancy Success with Dr. Traci Potterf

    Why Getting To The Bottom of Your Anxiety Can Optimize Fertility and Improve Pregnancy Success with Dr. Traci Potterf

    We’re digging into anxiety and how this impacts reproductive health.
    A theme we see with low AMH and high FSH is mood problems such as anxiety.
    There can be situational anxiety from being on the fertility journey, such as feeling worried, overwhelmed or impatient.
    And there can also be anxiety that we may have dealt with our whole lives.
    We get hyper-focused on our mental health diagnosis, and this may be a clue as to why we are struggling to conceive.
    When we rebalance the nervous system, our reproductive health comes back into balance.
    Today, I’m excited to welcome Dr. Traci Potterf to the podcast. Dr Traci is a Functional Health anxiety detective. She helps growth-minded professionals overwhelmed by anxiety to find and fix the hidden causes with natural solutions so they can live a limitless life at peace in their own skin.
     
    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    1) Why the gut-brain connection matters for someone on the fertility journey, and why the gut is referred to as the second brain
    2) The most common causes of anxiety (we discuss factors that influence brain health, such as digestion, microbiome imbalances/infections, blood sugar imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, thyroid problems, hormone imbalance and nutrient deficiencies) and why this matters if you are trying to get pregnant naturally
    3) The conventional approach to treat anxiety and how the functional approach can begin to regulate the nervous system and balance your mood (which helps with reproductive health)

    Why Addressing Psoriasis, Acne, Rashes & Eczema Can Improve Pregnancy Success with Sururat Coulibaly

    Why Addressing Psoriasis, Acne, Rashes & Eczema Can Improve Pregnancy Success with Sururat Coulibaly

    We’re digging into how skin conditions impact your ability to conceive.
    If you’re struggling with skin issues such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, rashes or hives, this is a clue for you when you're TTC.
    The body does not work in silos even though conventional medicine has us believe that we need to see a different specialist (i.e. dermatologist, REI, gastroenterologist etc.) for every ailment, and no one stops to think it’s all connected.
    Skin conditions are a HUGE clue as to why you may struggle to conceive.
    It is time to look at your whole body and not just treat the skin condition with topical creams and medication that does not address the underlying reason (hence, the skin issue just comes back).
    The skin is a reflection of the gut microbiome, and the gut is highly tied to the health of the ovaries.
    Today, I’m excited to welcome Sururat Coulibaly. Sururat is a mother, enthusiastic traveller, and functional wellness practitioner and coach who specializes in skin wellness. She founded The Holistic Skin Coach and Celebrate Wellness and developed the "Clear Skin Reset Program."
     
    In this episode, you'll learn:
    1) What skin conditions mean for fertility and how to address them (which ultimately improves reproductive health)
    2) How food sensitivities impact skin health and why nutrient deficiencies are commonly missed
    3) Some hidden root causes of chronic skin rashes such as psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and hives. 
    4) What biomarkers you need to know about that can shift the needle that your dermatologist will not tell you about

    Why Genomic Testing Can Help With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Birth Outcomes and Preconception Health with Helen Gautschi

    Why Genomic Testing Can Help With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Birth Outcomes and Preconception Health with Helen Gautschi

    We’re digging into genetic testing to improve pregnancy success and prevent or decrease the risk of pregnancy loss.
    At Fab Fertile, we’ve been offering genetic/genomic testing as part of our method for years.
    This genetic testing is very different from the testing you would receive from your conventional doctor.
    Our genetic testing looks at specific gene variants and makes specific diet/lifestyle recommendations and supplements that can support your genes. Your genes are not your destiny, and there are targeted steps you can take to optimize your fertility and pregnancy success.
    I’m excited to announce that we have an even better genetic test that helps improve pregnancy outcomes.
    Designed to improve preconception health, birth outcomes, recurrent miscarriage, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, the GrowBaby test identifies pathways that need support and helps us determine a customized plan based on your DNA.
    I'm excited to welcome Helen Gautschi to the podcast. Helen is a registered dietician (SA) and holds a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics (Honours) degree from Stellenbosch University in South Africa. She is also the Head of Research and Development and Education at DNAlife, which offers the GrowBaby genetic test.
     
    In this episode, you'll learn:
    1) How the GrowBaby test can improve birth outcomes and decrease the risk for preeclampsia and gestational hypertension and diabetes and miscarriage or pregnancy loss
    2) How to support each pathway with specific diet/lifestyle and supplement recommendations
    3) Why the preconception period is critical and specific steps you can take to improve healthy birth outcomes

    Why A Healthy Liver Matters For Fertility

    Why A Healthy Liver Matters For Fertility

    We’re digging into how to improve liver health and what you need to know when you are TTC.
    One of the themes we see with low AMH and/or high FSH is a sluggish liver.
    If your liver is not functioning properly, it may not be able to remove estrogen from your body. This leads to estrogen reabsorption, which results in hormone imbalance.
    Some signs of a sluggish liver include fatigue, headaches, poor digestion, cravings, weight gain around the middle and more.
    So how do we get our liver in tip-top shape to balance hormones and get pregnant naturally?
    Katy Bradbury is a registered nurse and nutritional therapist and part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is our clinical advisor and an integral part of our Couples Coaching program, which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility, your body is desperately trying to tell you something. Focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or, if you do need to go to the fertility clinic, it will improve your chances of success.
     
    In this episode, you'll learn:
    1) Why a healthy liver is important when you are TTC
    2) Which genetic variants are tied to the liver (and how to support them so you can optimize liver function)
    3) Symptoms of poor liver function and specific blood markers to review to ensure they are in the optimal range
    4) Diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations for a healthy liver
