Behind every number is a story of hope, loss, and resilience that deserves to be heard. There's so much that often goes unsaid about the emotions, the questions, and the search for answers.Creating space for honest, compassionate dialogue can make all the difference. That's why we're so glad to chat on IG Live with Sarah Bérubé, also known as Sarah the Detox Coach.During this Live, we're going to discuss the role of gut health and hormones in healthy pregnancies, dealing with mental health while experiencing repeated miscarriages, tips to help balance your hormones, and so much more.

Did you know that black women in the United States are three times more likely to die from pregnancy related courses than white women? That's a heartbreaking reality, and it's even more alarming when we consider the role of environmental injustice play in these outcomes. Decades of systematic racism have forced for many black families to live in neighborhoods with more pollution, poor quality housing, and limited access to clean water and healthy food. Black women are therefore exposed to higher level of environmental hazards, all of which increase their risk of pregnancy complications like preterm birth, a low birth weight, and even maternal death. We understand how heavy and personal this topic can feel, especially for those who have lived these experiences were. Know someone who has, and that's why we're so glad to chat with Dr. K, Pregnancy Specialist. Dr. K Pregnancy is a board certified practitioner and OB/GYN, as well as Maternal-Fetal Medicine. During this live we're going to discuss the long standing inequity in black maternal care, the role of environment plays in pregnancy outcomes for people of color, what to ask if you are recommended a C-section and if you think it's unnecessary, and so much more.

They're also environments that significantly impact our health and well-being.Spending so much time indoors makes it important to ensure our homes have as minimal harmful chemicals in the environment as possible.

There are many things that can impact your ability to become pregnant. In today's episode, I'm reviewing the top 10 things to consider if you are TTC.    1. Environmental Toxins. Avoid microwaving food and plastic containers or bottles. Always store food and glass or stainless steel containers. Million Marker offers a test to find out if you have in-body toxicity. 2. Chemicals in food and everyday products. Verify that the products you are using are chemical free. You can do that on https://www.ewg.org/ 3. Being sedentary. The CDC and American College of OBGYN, both recommend exercise in amounts of 150 minutes per week. Avoid over exercising, as low BMI can also cause fertility issues. 4. Food allergies or intolerances. Work with a nutritionist to find out if you have a food allergy or other food intolerance. You may also want to consider working with a specialist if you have PCOS or using Pollie.co to help you manage PCOS if you have it. 5. Blocked Fallopian Tubes. Check with your doctor to find out if this is what may be causing you to have a hard time TTC. 6. THC and Cannabinoids can affect the motility of the fallopian tube and the receptors in the lining of the uterus. This makes embryo implantation harder and it might not happen as quickly as you would want. 7. Nicotine. Nicotine can affect the DNA and the egg in the sperm cells, and it can also affect a woman's fertility such that she could go potentially into menopause earlier. 8. Blaming birth control pills. Many people think that birth control pills "cause" infertility, but the truth is that because they regulate your period they may be masking the indicators of infertility. Make sure you get your hormone levels checked with your doctor every year to confirm your levels.  9. Ignoring biology. Every woman is born with a finite number of eggs, and if you want to wait to have kids until later in life, be sure and freeze your eggs when you are in your 20s.  10. Not getting enough sleep.    Listen on Dr. Aimee's website.   Curious about IVF? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class. The next live class call is on Monday, April 21, 2025 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and egg freezing and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom.   Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America's most well known fertility doctors.

Weight management can be a frustrating journey, even for those who lead active lifestyles. Many people find themselves struggling with unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight despite their best efforts.This challenge often leaves individuals feeling discouraged and questioning their approach to health and fitness.

Our ovaries contain a finite number of eggs, and their quality is paramount. Egg quality refers to having the correct amount of chromosomes that are crucial for a successful pregnancy. Research shows egg quality declines with age, impacting fertility outcomes. By age 35, only about 50-60% of a woman's eggs are chromosomally normal. Egg quality refers to chromosomal normalcy, crucial for successful pregnancies. Therefore, we should take some precautions to optimize our egg quality and improve our chances of conception. That's why we're so glad to chat on IG Live with Pryscilla Ladeira, a Certified Fertility Health Coach. During this Live, we're going to discuss why egg quality is just as, if not more important, than ovulation tracking, nutrition tips for improving egg quality, how environmental factors impact having a viable pregnancy.

Feeling drained, sluggish, or just not quite yourself lately? These might be indicators that your body is in need of mineral balancing. Minerals are the unsung heroes powering every function in your body. They're essential for energy production, hormone balance, and even your mood. When your minerals are out of whack, it's like trying to run a high-performance car with low-quality fuel. Mineral balancing is the key to unlocking your body's full potential. It can boost your energy, improve your sleep, and even enhance your mental clarity. From magnesium calming your nerves to iron keeping your blood strong, each mineral has a vital role. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyles often deplete these precious resources. Stress, processed foods, and environmental toxins can all throw your mineral balance off course. That's why we're so glad to chat on IG Live with Fatima Pagtakhan, a low tox lifestyle mentor and mineral balancing specialist. During this Live, we're going to discuss signs you need to balance your minerals, high-quality dietary sources of key nutrients, hair mineral testing, and so much more.
