    142: How Intimacy Can Improve Fertility Outcomes

    By the time many couples get to me, the romance out of their relationship is gone…the sex is scheduled, regimented and goal driven (to make a baby). So in this episode I break down what should happen with our hormones and create a deep feeling of connection, euphoria and pleasure. And how increasing those hormones can actually increase our chances of conceiving. Tune in to learn more. ========== STOP wasting time and grasping at straws.

    141: Male Fertility Case - Why Getting Your Partner Onboard is Important

    Many women underestimate the importance of having your male partner involved in the fertility journey.

    140: Dr. Katie Lee - The Importance Of Oral Microbiome For Fertility

    Today, I sat down with Katie Lee - she is a dentist and an author (“Saved by the mouth”). The research supporting oral microbiome and fertility health is astounding. Countless patients who have been able to get pregnant after dealing with oral infections. Not to mention the association between oral care and complications during pregnancy and labor. You can’t have a healthy gut without a healthy mouth. And you can’t have a healthy uterus without a healthy gut. I hope you enjoy the conversion as much as I did. ========== STOP wasting time and grasping at straws.

APPLY TODAY⁠ ========== Key Takeways5:24 Oral microbiome's impact on fertility 16:51 Symptoms of oral infections 35:25 Unexplained infertility and surrogacy 49:21 Essential dental hygiene practices Memorable Quotes"What we know is that the bacteria in the mouth unfortunately doesn't stay in the mouth. The mouth has the second largest microbiome in the body. And when our body is chronically inflamed, the tissues in the mouth start to break down, and the bacteria that are there can leak into the gums, get into the bloodstream. And one of the places they love to go, unfortunately, is the female and male reproductive tracts.""We have five surfaces to our teeth. We have top, the chewing surface, the cheek, tongue, and then in between. In between the teeth is where we have the papillas or the gum tissue. That is where the blood supply is. Your toothbrush does not clean in between the teeth. So if you are only brushing and not flossing, you're cleaning three out of five surfaces and you're missing the two most important.""The most critical to all of this is making sure that you're using chemical free, non harsh, non toxic products. A lot of people are using the Colgate, the Crest, the Oral B, like all that stuff that's full of chemicals. We know that the mouth is really absorbent. If you're putting toothpaste in your mouth that's full of chemicals, sure you're spitting it out, but how much of that is absorbing into your system? Quite a bit."Connect with Dr. Katie LeeWebsite - https://katieleedds.com/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/katieleedds/  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/katieleedds  LinkedIn -  https://www.linkedin.com/in/katieleedds/ Connect With Dr. Jane LevesqueClick Here To Sign Up For Dr. Jane’s Hormones Masterclass Website - https://www.drjanelevesque.com/ Instagram - a...

    139: Approaching Fertility Over 40

    If you are approaching 40 or over 40yo and you want to have a baby, I have a couple of very helpful tips for you as a naturopathic doctor and natural fertility expert. Having a baby in your 40s is not the same as having a baby in your 20s. And since time is not on your side, just trying things out and seeing what happens isn’t a good strategy. We can do better and in this episode I show you how you can set yourself up for success. ========== STOP wasting time and grasping at straws.

You are closer to menopause than you are to puberty, so things are working very differently in your 40s.""When you're over 40 trying to have a baby, don't do any guessing. You don't have time to struggle. I recommend doing thorough testing before even thinking about conceiving.""If you now decided you want to have a baby at 40, the responsible thing is to do some really thorough testing and get your partner involved from day one. Both of you need to have comprehensive testing done to optimize your chances."Connect With Dr. Jane LevesqueClick Here To Sign Up For Dr. Jane’s Hormones Masterclass Website - https://www.drjanelevesque.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drjanelevesque/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DrJaneLevesque/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@dr.janelevesque7319 🎙️ Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast Mentioned in this episode: Click here to sign up for Dr. Jane’s Hormones Masterclass: https://fullcast.co/nf-hormones-masterclass Click here to sign up for Dr. Jane’s Hormones Masterclass: https://fullcast.co/nf-hormones-masterclass

And truthfully, it's a reflection of your mom's health during pregnancy, your mom's and your dad's health, but your mom's health more so because you grew in her womb.""Even though approximately 1 in 10 women are struggling with endometriosis, not a single woman will express that disease in the same way.
