Before we jump in, I want you to know that I understand the nuanced layers—emotional, physical, and mental—of approaching fertility.
Before pregnancy was even on my radar, I struggled with GI issues, hormone imbalances, anxiety, and undiagnosed PCOS for years. Optimizing my health for conception was a long road filled with twists and turns.
After what my body had been through, I knew I needed time to restore health from a foundational level. So that’s what I did: I spent three years preparing my body for my first pregnancy.
Even after conception, my road through pregnancy wasn’t perfect either. After giving myself some time to sulk, it sunk in: This wasn’t happening to me, this was happening for me.
Leaning on the experience I had gained and taking the time to optimize nutrition, movement, and mindset, allowed me to conceive when I was ready and helped me navigate pregnancy. I successfully managed the hurdles of each stage and had a natural and unmedicated birth of a healthy 6 lbs 12 oz baby boy.
I’m telling you this to show that no matter where you are starting from now, you can feel empowered and in control of your own fertility destiny … because you are.
Now, onto your results:
Your Fertility Analysis Score is: Fundamentally Fertile.
You’ve been purposefully preparing your body for conception for a while, and this isn’t the first time you’ve sought information into how you can enhance your fertility! By making this your primary focus and promoting your whole-body health, you’ve improved your overall fertility already. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t additional measures at your disposal.
​
You’re mostly Fundamentally Fertile (yay!), but there is room to focus on amping up those seven key areas to take your fertility to the next level.
Here’s your plan for how you can move forward in those specific areas:
one
MINDSET
At this stage, you have a close relationship with your body. But that said, it might be time to zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Are you still supporting the foundational building blocks of fertility? How can you create a more aligned relationship with your body? Reflecting on questions like these can help you reset as needed, if needed.
two
NUTRITION + NERVOUS SYSTEM
Your nutrition may be on point, but your nervous system is another story. A hyperfocus on fertility has led to elevated levels of stress—which in turn produces the opposite result of what you want. Of course, you can’t just "turn off" fertility stress, but you can support your body and nervous system in becoming more resilient under stressful circumstances. Right now, it might help to make activities like breathing exercises and meditation your BFF.
three
CIRCADIAN RHYTHM
At this stage, you’re ready to fully optimize your circadian rhythm and perfect your sleep and wake cycles. You may already have a great sleep and wake routine, but one final element you should include is daily sun exposure at 3 peak times of the day, first thing in the morning, midday, and as the sun is setting—or light therapy if daily sun isn’t always in the cards for you.
four
CYCLE HEALTH
By now you’re well acquainted with your cycle, but have you gotten curious about your hormone metabolism and how your hormones fluctuate during your cycle? Get down to the nitty-gritty with a DUTCH Test—a complete hormone test designed to help you get the full picture of your hormones.
five
DETOX SYSTEMS
Let’s talk lymph. Your lymph is a crucial part of your detox system and plays an important role in keeping your whole body healthy, including your fertility. You can support lymph health through activities like rebounding, dry brushing, and castor oil packs.
six
MOVEMENT
Yes, movement is great for fertility, but there is such a thing as too much. Focus on restorative exercises rather than pushing it to the limit every time, and make sure you leave ample time for recovery.
YOUR NEXT STEPS
Now it’s time to embrace an expansive fertility journey.
Everything you’ve done up to this point has helped you reach the elevated level of fertility you’re at today. Bravo, my friend! You’re clearly willing to put in the work. But here’s the thing: You don’t know what you don’t know, so tapping into further expertise is going to bring you those expansive next-level wins you’ve been looking for. There are more opportunities waiting to be embraced by you, and you’re in the driver’s seat. Go get ‘em!
