There can be a lot of contradictory information about the right diet for fertility.
Remember, generalized dietary recommendations such as carnivore, paleo, keto or vegan only waste time.
We need a personalized approach because we’re all unique.
So, where do you start?
I’ve got a simple 10-day plan so you can figure out how food impacts your body.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How to know if your infertility is a symptom of something else going on in your body (Hint – digestive issues, skin/mood problems, joint issues, and autoimmunity are ALL clues)
2) What is a leaky gut, and why this matters if you are TTC
3) Which foods to avoid during the elimination and how to reintroduce them (this part is crucial)
4) Which foods you will eat (it is NOT about starving or drinking green juice)
5) How to commit and actually start the elimination diet (gluten-light/dairy-light do NOT work)
6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you during an elimination diet

Episode 468
Monday, August 26, 2024 • Duration 41:38
We’re digging into the top fertility supplement that you must have to improve pregnancy success this year
Most people who are trying to conceive know that they need to take some supplements.
After all, it’s difficult to get essential nutrients from our food because the soil is so depleted.
You’ve probably scoured the internet trying to determine which supplements will boost egg and sperm health.
But what if you are taking the wrong ones?
Or worse yet, you just have expensive pee. Yup, we see this all the time. More is not always better.
We’re breaking down our must-have fertility supplements, so you don’t waste time and money taking the wrong ones, and you can improve pregnancy success this year.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
1) Foundational supplements to enhance male and female fertility
2) Which supplement helps with egg quality, reduces the risk of early miscarriage and helps with the production of healthy sperm
3) Supplements that help with sperm quality and motility
4) How this supplement can balance estrogen for women and testosterone for men - plus increase libido for both sexes
If You’ve Read It Starts With the Egg, What’s Next?
Episode 459
Monday, June 24, 2024 • Duration 01:04:43
We’re digging into what to do after you’ve read It Starts With The Egg.
Most people on the fertility journey have read It Starts with the Egg by Rebecca Fett.
It has become the bible for egg health and the fertility community. The well-researched book includes actionable steps for diet, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations. However, the advice does skew towards IVF preparation rather than getting pregnant naturally.
What if you’ve already made all the changes in the book, but it still hasn’t worked?
Let’s break down the generalized guidelines in the book and how to personalize the suggestions to improve pregnancy success.
This episode is for you if:
You have implemented the suggestions in the book, and it still hasn’t worked
You were so overwhelmed by the book that you didn’t know where to start
Your partner isn’t making any of the suggested changes - just you! (steps to help his preconception health)
You haven’t read the book but you want to know how to improve egg quality and fertility naturally
In this episode, you'll learn:
1. Why your Vitamin D levels are low
2. Why looking at your TSH is not enough
3. Why digging into the diet is KEY for your fertility
4. What you could be missing when it comes to environmental toxins
5. Hw to improve your melatonin
6. Why a blood test does NOT tell us the whole picture
7. The recommended supplements (i.e. prenatal, B12, CoQ10, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Alpha Lipoic, Myo-inositol, L- Carnitine, and men’s supplement recommendations)

Why Protecting Yourself From EMFs Matters When TTC
Episode 369
Monday, October 3, 2022 • Duration 42:52
We’re digging into why protecting yourself from EMFs matters when you are TTC.
Whether it's our cell phone, computer, WiFi, microwave, house energy smart meters, or TV – we are surrounded by EMFs.
It’s not about living in fear.
It’s about what we can to protect ourselves and our fertility.
“Toxins are everywhere, our air, water, and food are polluted, and electrosmog is present in our everyday life. It has become more important than ever to protect yourself from negative influences, frequencies, and radiation and make sure that your body’s vital powers are active and that you have enough positive energy to feel good each day”.
Many EMF protective brands are on the market, but my favourite is Leela Quantum Tech. They are the real deal, and have the research to back it up.
I love the Leela H.E.A.L. Capsule. It protects me from 3G, 4G, 5G, WiFi and microwaves, plus it helps with my productivity, gives me better sleep and makes me feel quite calm. It actually transmits quantum energy so you can charge your water and food (I know this sounds crazy, but we’re all made of energy, so not so far out there after all).
Today I’m excited to welcome Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling to the podcast. Philipp is a conscious entrepreneur, alternative health ambassador, and energy healer. The conscious businesses he's founded are Leela Labs, manufacturer and distributor of C60, and Leela Quantum Tech, which provides quantum energy and frequency products to support health and well-being.

Are You Well Fed But Malnourished? Why This Matters If You Are TTC
Episode 368
Monday, September 26, 2022 • Duration 38:53
We’re digging into digestion and why this matters when you are TTC.
Many of us are consuming all the right foods. Eating lots of fat, getting our daily veggies and generally eating a healthy diet.
But what if you are well-fed but malnourished?
We see this a lot with couples who are trying to conceive.
It is essential that you actually absorb the nutrients that you eat so that you can have the proper vitamins and minerals, proteins and fat to create a healthy baby.
So how can we make sure all those healthy foods are being properly absorbed?
Caitlin Townsend is part of my team at Fab Fertile. She is 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.
Caitlin is a Functional Nutrition Therapist and Professional Chef.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) Top 5 tips to optimize digestion so that you can improve pregnancy success
2) Why low stomach acid may be impeding your ability to absorb essential nutrients required for pregnancy
3) Why gas, bloating, burping is not normal and how to address these common symptoms so that you can optimize fertility
We’re digging into how to cultivate an abundance mindset when you are TTC.
Getting stuck in a scarcity mindset on the fertility journey is easy. After all, a well-meaning physician may have told you that your AMH is too low, your FSH is too high, IVF is your only chance (and even then, there is a small chance of it working ), or that donor eggs are your only option.
This can leave us feeling:
Stuck in comparison
Easily triggered
Impatient
Panicked
Angry
Frustrated
Sad
All of these emotions are entirely normal. Let that sink in. No judgment is needed.
What if we could look at our journey to conceive in a new light?
There is tons of research that displays the power of having an abundance mindset.
People with an abundance mindset are:
Happy for others
More likely to embrace change
Grateful and appreciative
Not resentful of missed opportunities because they know more are coming
Aware that there is enough to go around and they are worthy
So how do we cultivate an abundance mindset and keep the scarcity mindset at bay?
Samantha Coffin is part of my team at Fab Fertile. She is 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. Samm is a mindset and wellness coach.
How To Optimize Pregnancy Success When You Have Been Diagnosed With Cancer
Episode 366
Monday, September 12, 2022 • Duration 57:51
We’re digging into what to do if you’ve been diagnosed with cancer while on the fertility journey and how to prevent cancer.
I have received many requests to provide information about navigating a cancer diagnosis while trying to conceive.
Many of us have been touched by cancer, perhaps through a personal diagnosis or by a family member, friend, or colleague diagnosed with the disease. A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience and challenges individuals in ways sometimes hard to imagine.
Conventional medicine tells us that chemotherapy, radiation and surgery are the only treatment options.
While those options may be right for some, there are alternatives that we can consider.
It can be incredibly confusing to know where you can start to optimize pregnancy success after or during a cancer diagnosis.
This episode of Get Pregnant Naturally is a call to action.
If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer and are trying to conceive or know someone with cancer, please share this episode.
Today I’m excited to welcome Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy. Dr. Connealy is a prominent leader in the Integrative & Functional Medicine medical field. She is the medical director of two amazing clinics “The Cancer Center for Healing” & “Center for New Medicine”. Her clinics have seen over 47,000 patients and continue to grow. is the author of two books, The Cancer Revolution and Be Perfectly Healthy.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) Recommendations for someone who has been diagnosed with cancer or finished treatment when they are ready to TTC
2) Risks with fertility treatment (IVF) for someone with a history of breast cancer and cancer
3) Thyroid cancer and where to start in preparing for pregnancy success
4) Biomarkers for early cancer detection and prevention
7 Tips To Heal Childhood Trauma When On The Fertility Journey
Episode 365
Monday, September 5, 2022 • Duration 53:32
We’re digging into how childhood trauma can impact the fertility journey.
Our Fab Fertile Method takes a mind, body, and spirit approach to improve pregnancy success.
A theme we see with low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency and diminished ovarian reserve is childhood trauma.
Whether it's experiencing flashbacks, anxiety, depression, anger or issues with trust, childhood trauma can have a lasting impact on our health.
We may consciously or unconsciously use alcohol, overeating/undereating, shopping or zoning out in front of the television and more as coping mechanisms.
That’s why identifying and working through these hard emotions can help to reclaim control and acknowledge and recognize trauma.
Today I’m excited to welcome back Brandy Buskow to the podcast. Brandy is a Board Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Master EFT practitioner, Rapid Transformation Therapy Practitioner, and Certified Hypnotherapist.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn:
1) What constitutes childhood trauma
2) Signs of childhood trauma
3) How childhood trauma affects people later in life
4) Seven (7) top tips for beginning to heal from childhood trauma
Why This Is My Top Suggestion For Anyone On The Fertility Journey
Episode 364
Monday, August 29, 2022 • Duration 43:51
We're digging into how the elimination diet can improve pregnancy success.
The first place we start with the couples in our Fab Fertile Couples Coaching Program is the elimination diet.
It is the gold standard to figure out if you have a food sensitivity, and we have BOTH partners do the elimination diet (it is not just about you changing your diet).
It takes two to have a baby!
While the majority of couples that I speak with tell me they are eating a “clean” diet, most have not done the elimination diet.
Food sensitivity is a stressor on the body and must be addressed (we see so many people get this wrong). If your body is mounting an immune response to your favourite foods, this causes inflammation.
When your body is under attack from seemingly healthy foods (or even not-so-healthy foods), it wants to survive, not to procreate.
Figuring out the diet that is RIGHT for you is essential when you are trying to conceive.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
1) Is your infertility a symptom of something else going on in your body (Hint – digestive issues, skin problems, mood problems, joint issues and autoimmunity are ALL clues).
2) What is a leaky gut, and why this matters if you are TTC.
3) Which foods to avoid during the elimination. How to reintroduce the foods (this part is crucial).
4) Which foods will you eat (it is NOT about starving or drinking green juice).
5) How to commit and actually start the elimination diet. Gluten light/dairy light do NOT work.
6) Supplement recommendations and lifestyle strategies to support you during an elimination diet.

How EMDR Can Help During The Fertility Journey
Episode 363
Monday, August 22, 2022 • Duration 40:51
We’re digging into how EMDR can help improve pregnancy success.
The fertility journey can be filled with triggers, heartbreak and frustration.
A theme we see with couples on the fertility journey is trauma.
We often see childhood trauma (i.e. physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical neglect. emotional neglect. mental illness, divorce and substance abuse).
We especially see the trauma that results from the fertility diagnosis and visualizing a different path to parenthood.
This can result in unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and physical symptoms such as nausea or headaches.
That’s why I’m including a referral partner for EMDR as part of our Fab Fertile Method. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps to heal from emotional distress that stems from painful and traumatic life experiences.
Today I’m excited to welcome Tess Davies to the podcast. Tess is a Licensed Social Worker who provides telehealth therapy specializing in helping individuals heal from trauma. Her approach is humanistic, client-centred and utilizes evidenced-based trauma treatment modalities, including EMDR, Attachment-Focused EMDR, and Cognitive Processing Therapy, in addition to somatic and experiential-focused methods. She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher and often pulls from the practice of Yoga in her therapy practice.
In this episode, you'll learn:
1) How EMDR can be beneficial for someone on the fertility journey
2) The 8 phases of EMDR therapy and how this can help improve pregnancy success
3) What credentials to look for before you hire an EMDR therapist
