Ep 072: Fertility, IVF, and the Foundations of Health

The Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast

For some couples, conception looks quick and effortless. For others, it's a long, humbling journey that asks you to rethink everything you thought you knew about your body, your faith, and your timeline. In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz talks with Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) and fertility mentor Calista (Callie) Chammas, founder of Nourish with Calista, to explore a raw, hopeful, deeply bio-individual look at growing a family in an increasingly infertile world.  After graduating from the Nutritional Therapy Association in 2019, Calista found her calling in fertility through the fires of her own journey - 13 years on the pill, post-birth-control chaos, "unexplained infertility," medicated cycles, IUI, IVF, and a 42-week home birth. She and her husband now await the arrival of their second child.  Calista works with women and families navigating both simple and complex fertility challenges, using ancestral nutrition, targeted lifestyle shifts, nervous-system regulation, precise Functional Blood Chemistry analysis, and the Foundations of Health as taught through the Nutritional Therapy Association, to help restore ovulation and optimize the environment for conception. She is also co-creating a powerful upcoming program, Nourish Your Radiant Fertility - bridging functional nutrition and Traditional Chinese Medicine for truly holistic preconception support. Together, Jamie and Callie dig into the realities behind falling fertility rates, the aftermath of long-term birth control use, why ovulation is the real monthly vital sign, how labels like "infertile" can quietly shape outcomes, and why safety, mindset, and nervous-system regulation may matter as much as lab work. They share accessible, affordable Foundations of Health: nutrient-dense ancestral foods, blood-sugar balance, mineral-rich hydration, stress regulation, sleep, nature exposure, circadian rhythm, and community support - and speak to the financially and ethically complicated aspects of IVF. Bio-individuality refuses the false choice between "all conventional" and "all holistic." This episode is especially for couples navigating the gray zone—those who want to understand why their body is struggling, who don't want to be reduced to a diagnosis, and who want a real pathway forward, whether they use natural methods, IVF, or both. Topics Discussed: Hypothalamus–Pituitary–Ovarian (HPO) axis Post-birth-control syndrome Ovulation as a vital sign "Unexplained infertility" and medical labeling Nervous system regulation/parasympathetic activation Fertility & safety signaling Ancestral nutrient-dense foods Blood sugar regulation & Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) (insulin resistance of the ovaries) Mineral-rich hydration/electrolytes Circadian rhythm & morning sunlight Nature exposure for nervous system balance Stress perception Natural-cycle embryo transfer Ethical Considerations in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) Medical gaslighting & advocating for yourself Male factor infertility & sperm DNA fragmentation Community support during fertility journeys Boundaries with family/pressure dynamics Identity vs. diagnosis reframing Fortifying the Foundations of Health: Nutrient-dense diet, hydration, digestion, blood sugar regulation, sleep, stress, joyful movement Related and Complementary Podcast Episodes: Episode 71: A Fertility Journey to Natural Pregnancy Through Foundational Healing Episode 61: PCOS Root Cause  Episode 28: Blood Sugar 101 - Hope for Reversing Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes Episode 29: Quick Tips for Blood Sugar Episode 62: MORE Quick Tips for Blood Sugar Episode 9: Food For Fertility Episode 66: SIBO Symptoms and Solutions Episode 6: The Dr. Francis M Pottenger Episode  Episode 69: The Dr. Weston A Price Episode Episode 46: Wellness 101 Episode 60: Super Foods, Super Kids Episode 4: Bio-Individuality Episode 11: Digestive Hell (Learn DIGESTION from the NTA's founder, Gray Graham) Episode 10: Optimal Wellness Starts Here (How DIGESTION is supposed to work!)

What is a  Moral Injury - and How does it take a toll? One of the most striking aspects of Matthew's story is his emphasis on moral injury, a concept that's often overlooked in traditional PTSD treatment. As Dr. Dave, our resident psychiatrist, explained, moral injury occurs when someone witnesses or participates in actions that violate their deeply held moral beliefs. This can leave lasting scars that are difficult to heal without proper support and understanding.

Send us a textIf your practice keeps losing great people, it's probably not the pay—it's your managers.In this Quick Tip episode, we break down why so many managers “suck” in private practice and what to do about it. From promoting your best clinician into a job they were never trained for, to rewarding people who don't even like managing, we unpack the real reasons leadership fails—and how that failure is costing you talent, culture, and revenue.Using the story of “Ralph,” the star salesperson turned disastrous sales director, Brandon shows why top performers don't automatically make great managers, and why putting them in leadership without a plan can tank both their performance and your team's. We share his favorite analogy: great managers are like horror-movie lovers—they're wired to handle tough conversations, conflict, and constant pressure without running away.You'll learn how to:Spot the difference between talent in a role and talent for managementAvoid the trap of promoting high performers who don't actually want to leadFix the #1 reason employees leave: poor management and misaligned prioritiesIdentify the traits of managers who love the hard stuff—conflict, accountability, tough loveDesign hiring, training, and culture so you attract true leaders, not title-chasersIf you're a practice owner, leader, or aspiring manager, this episode will help you stop “hoping” someone can lead just because they're good at their job—and start building a management layer that actually drives retention, performance, and practice growth.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

If I only had you for five minutes, what would I want you to know?  That is the very premise behind our QUICK TIPS episodes.  Chrissy's story starts with a familiar tune - the pressure to be the "good girl" in a strict religious household. Sound familiar? Many of us grow up thinking we need to fit into a specific mold to be worthy of love and acceptance. But here's the kicker: I grew up with a specific theology called Calvinist theology, where they teach you that you are bad, you are sinful, you are wicked and evil, and that you can't trust yourself, that the only good thing in you is Jesus. This belief system left Chrissy feeling disconnected from her true self, constantly striving for approval and battling with the fear of being "bad." It's a struggle many of us can relate to, whether we grew up in a religious household or not.

Price was and what his groundbreaking research revealed about the connection between diet, physical health, and human flourishing. Dr. Price's global studies in the early 1900s showed that traditional, nutrient-dense, properly prepared foods produced strong, joyful, disease-resistant people — while modern, processed diets led to degeneration within a single generation. Host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC explains how the Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) continues Dr. Price's mission today by helping people live healthier, more holistic lives. Through education, community, and advocacy, WAPF promotes ancestral wisdom — from properly prepared, nutrient-dense foods to lifestyle practices that support balance, vitality, and lifelong wellness. Then, Jamie welcomes fellow FNTP, Allison Mädl, who recently returned from the WAPF's Wise Traditions Conference in Salt Lake City. Together, they unpack the insights, research, and reflections she brought back — from nourishing, gourmet meals to saturated fat science, circadian rhythm optimization, fermentation, regenerative farming, and the revival of real-food education in schools.      Key Takeaways The Legacy of Dr. Weston A. Price and how ancestral diets rich in fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and enzymes built the foundation for strong bodies and resilient minds. Food Quality Determines Health Quality Properly prepared, nutrient-dense, locally sourced, whole foods — raw dairy, pastured meats, fermented vegetables, soaked grains, and healthy animal fats — remain the cornerstone of wellness. Nutrient density naturally balances appetite, stabilizes blood sugar, and sustains energy. Saturated Fats vs. Seed Oils: A Paradigm Shift Modern science is re-evaluating decades of misguided advice. Evidence now shows that natural saturated fats support longevity and hormone health, while industrial seed oils are unstable, oxidizing fats that accelerate inflammation and cellular damage. Cholesterol is Not the Enemy Dietary cholesterol doesn't raise blood cholesterol levels — high carbohydrate intake and metabolic dysfunction do. Cholesterol is essential for hormone production, cell membrane integrity, vitamin D synthesis, and more!. Light, Sleep, and Longevity Circadian rhythm is a biological foundation of health. Morning sunlight exposure, reduced nighttime blue light, and true darkness during sleep optimize melatonin production and activity, support mitochondrial function, and slow aging at the cellular level. Fermentation and the Microbiome Traditional ferments like kefir, kombucha, and natto restore microbial diversity and digestive resilience. Start small, vary your sources, and pay attention to how your body responds — real food is the most affordable and effective  probiotic. From Soil to Sovereignty Regenerative agriculture proves that nutrient-dense food starts with healthy soil. Farmers using organic and rotational methods see higher yields, stronger crops, and better economics without chemical dependency — improving both land and lives. Real-Food Education Changes Generations Teaching knife skills, broth-making, and gardening in schools reconnects children with the source of their food. These skills build confidence, reduce dependence on processed food, and restore a sense of value and purpose in young people. Community Nourishes as Much as Food The Wise Traditions Conference exemplifies what happens when like-minded people gather around shared values of health, freedom, and stewardship. The table becomes a place of healing — for body, mind, and spirit.     About Our Guest — Allison Mädl, FNTP Allison graduated as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner in 2014 and has served the NTA in various roles ever since. She is currently a Lead Instructor and Senior On-Demand Program Developer for the Nutritional Therapy Association and runs a private practice in North Idaho, where she works with clients both in the U.S. and abroad.

In this hard-hitting episode of Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon Siegel demolishes the “4–6 week” implementation myth and lays out a battle-tested roadmap: a realistic 3–6 month (often 9–12 month end-to-end) plan, a 90-day parallel run, airtight data migration (HL7/FHIR/CCD/CCDA), and surgical timing for EDI/ERA so revenue doesn't evaporate mid-switch. You'll learn how to map workflows, choose features that matter (not “massaging seats”), set KPIs, avoid AI-driven compliance traps, stage go-lives during low-volume windows, and build a true stakeholder taskforce (project lead, super users, vendor coordination) with downtime contingencies and HIPAA-grade security.

  Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Machu Picchu Are there any tips to help me avoid being cheated or robbed while traveling? Yes, you can take precautions like removing your expensive jewelry before traveling and not carrying expensive purses or shoes. Don't look like a target. Look like you belong, and try not to stand out from the usual crowd. Check reviews of any Airbnb or turo car rentals you book. Be careful not to walk alone in the dark at night, as much as possible. Think of the odds whenever you go out. Please put them in your favor, not a criminal. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series dives deeper into safety and security while traveling solo—link in description""  See Book A for addressing this challenge. You can find it on our website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon; it's a several-part series. Today's special destination is: Machu Picchu, Peru. I finally got there, after so many years of wanting to visit. And I had a great time. I hope the same goes for you. Peru is a wonderful place, but you do need to be prepared, and I was. I t'ss almost always a good time to book your ticket to Machu Picchu. So book it now if you are planning it. There is a daily cap of 5600 people. Once you get there, it will be too late to reserve a ticket. You could get lucky, so if you're in an emergency, you may be able to obtain one from a broker, but that will incur an additional cost. I was delaying the purchase for a few weeks, and I'm glad I booked my tour three months in advance. The tickets are not expensive, but it may be a challenge to afford them. I found a travel agency, but they wouldn't accept my credit card over the phone, and when I tried to set up a Western Union money transfer, it was a terrible experience. I'll share that in my mistakes later on. https://www.ticketmachupicchu.com/ticket-machu-picchu-2019/ Machu Picchu tips and insights on the travel for you. Step What to do Tips & costs 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on Tuboleto.c ultura .pe – choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. Cost 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,600, so June slots sell out early. Peru RailEl País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views. Peru Rail 3. Bus up Buy a Consettur round-trip ticket (US$24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, with a 25-minute ride. Ticket to Machu Picchu   4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport, ticket & small day pack only. My ticket was in the afternoon, and for that it was great. It was hazy that morning, I was told.         6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu. Ticket to Machu Picchu   7. Lunch & return Picnic outside the gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30), or stay one more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace.   Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (for cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to avoid lines and secure cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small bills; ATMs are plentiful in Cusco. Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu—then you'll be perfectly primed for Brazil's beaches a few days later. ¡Buen viaje! Hard to use Western Union for a payment to my travel expert. Very challenging. It didn't happen; I brought it in person to Cusco. Paid by CC in person, but not to the travel agent. She had to find someone willing to accept the credit card payment in another shop. It was both a great deal and a great pain. The total cost was only $275.Here's a breakdown of my trip to Machu Picchu Machu Picchu: My One-Day Experience (start/finish in Cusco) Timeline & logistics 03:00 woke up; 03:30 ready; 04:00 pickup. Bus from Cusco → Ollantaytambo, then train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo)—you even shared the carriage with a few actors. Reached town around 08:30 in the rain; explored, then rented a bathing suit and towel and relaxed at the hot springs (20 soles entry; 5 soles suit; 5 soles towel). Met Eduardo, my English-speaking guide from Cusco (now living locally). I treated him to tea before we got started. Noon: lined up for Machu Picchu entry; private tour from ~12:00–16:30. You tipped 50 soles—he was excellent. The weather shifted from rain to cloudy to sunny, perfect for walking among the ruins. Stats: ~48 flights of stairs and 6.4 miles walked; lots of steps. Afterward, enjoy a massage (~$20), a chocolate bar, and plenty of water before heading back to Cusco at around 11 pm. It was a long, but so valued day. What I saw & felt The town is small: church (Virgen del Carmen, where I said prayers), district offices, train stations, and police clustered together. Wildlife moments: five llamas, including a 3-day-old nursing and another 3-month-old—adorable. The scenery felt grand and expansive—it reminded you of Yosemite for its scale, but with open, terraced mountains rather than dense trees. Photos turned out great. You loved the entire experience and happily checked off another of the Seven Wonders of the World. Language tidbit from your guide:"'ach'= old, 'icch'= mountain. You noticed so many other peaks around the citadel. What I learned….. The tour weaved together the Incas' worship, daily life, food, farming practices (especially corn/maize), and burial customs—you noted that mostly women's skeletons were found in the areas you discussed with your guide. Inca history (brief context): The Inca civilization flourished in the 15th–early 16th centuries across the Andes, constructing extraordinary stone architecture and terraced agriculture without the use of iron or the wheel. Machu Picchu itself sat hidden in the mountains for centuries, its location contributing to its preservation until its 20th-century reintroduction to global attention. The expansive mountain range around the site made it feel concealed and sacred, "hidden for centuries," much like the aura people describe with Angkor Wat (your comparison). Small moments that mattered Tea with Eduardo (my treat) set a relaxed rhythm for the afternoon, and since it was raining, it gave me a chance to dry out. Hot springs soak before the ruins helped counter the early start and altitude. I loved that I could rent a bathing suit for the morning. That was a first. The hot springs were soothing and an unexpected pleasure. Bring your suit if you remember. Private guiding made the history feel personal and clear. I thought I would be in a group, but this was a private tour. One-line takeaway A long, early start bloomed into a perfectly paced day—rain to sun, hot springs to high terraces—guided insight, baby llamas, countless stairs, and a deep, peaceful sense of awe among the Incas'""old mountain" Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

Kristin is the founder of Energetically Efficient and co-owner of Discover Strength Nashville, where she helps clients align their physiology and frequency to live with power, clarity, and purpose. Together, Jamie and Kristin take an unfiltered look at alcohol, health, and consciousness—from the cultural normalization of drinking to the biological, emotional, and spiritual toll it quietly takes. They explore: How alcohol impacts each of the Foundations of Health—digestion, blood sugar regulation, nutrient density, sleep, stress, movement, and hydration.. Why your liver halts everything to process alcohol first—and what that means for fat metabolism, detoxification, and hormonal balance. How alcohol damages gut integrity and microbiome diversity, disrupts circadian rhythm, and amplifies inflammation in the brain and body. The truth about how alcohol interacts with stress chemistry, depletes key nutrients like B vitamins and zinc, and sabotages recovery and muscle repair. The emotional and energetic dimension—how alcohol lowers vibration, clouds intuition, and distances us from spiritual clarity and self-trust. Why the "Sober Curious Movement" isn't about restriction or perfection—it's about awareness, agency, and living more fully alive. Spoiler alert: Both Jamie and Kristin have come to the same realization—alcohol no longer serves them. This isn't an episode about how to cure hangovers or find a cleaner cocktail. It's an invitation to step back, get curious, and truly see what alcohol might be doing to your body, your foundations of health, and your life.

Send us a textThis Quick Tip breaks down Automation vs. Artificial Intelligence for private practices—what they are, where they overlap, and how to deploy each for maximum ROI. You'll learn how rule-based automation (think: EHR billing runs, appointment confirmations, Calendly/Acuity reminders, Zapier workflows, Keap/Infusionsoft logic trees) eliminates repetitive tasks, while AI (machine learning–driven tools like HIPAA-ready note-takers, smart chatbots, and content generators such as ChatGPT/Jasper/Scribe PT) adapts to data, drafts documentation, analyzes client trends, and improves over time. We cover real clinic use cases—scheduling, reminders, billing, compliance alerts, HR/licensure tracking—and a critical caution on data quality and HIPAA compliance when using AI for clinical or revenue-cycle decisions. Bottom line: Automate the predictable, add AI where nuance and analysis drive outcomes. If you want fewer no-shows, faster documentation, tighter cash flow, and better patient communication, this episode gives you a practical roadmap to implement both—safely, ethically, and profitably.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!
