071: Run These Labs to Optimize Your Fertility
Show Notes

If you are thinking about conceiving in the next 3-6 months, you are going to want to grab your pen + paper and listen to this episode. I unpack all of the labs I suggest running in order to ensure both you and baby are setup for success! 

Topics discussed: 

  • What the 'primester' period is and why it is important to give your body 90 days to prepare prior to conception
  • Why not everyone should get pregnant, even if they can
  • What supplements I was taking prior to TTC
  • The exact labs I suggest running with optimal, functional medicine ranges vs. conventional ranges
  • How to make sure you are fully aware of the health of your thyroid, and why the labs conventional doctors run fall short
  • The main reasons for miscarriages before 10 weeks
  • How to ensure your body is prepared for a healthy pregnancy 
  • My protocol that I did after running labs given what I was deficient in

Enjoy the show! xx
