Boosting Fertility with Holistic Methods with Monica Cox (HHR EP034)
I trust you’re all doing well, possibly sipping on your favorite tea and soaking in the precious moments of your day. Today, I want to dive into something incredibly close to many hearts—fertility. This podcast episode features the wonderful Monica Cox, a top holistic, functional fertility coach and an infertility warrior. Monica brings a wealth of knowledge to a topic that’s both sensitive and incredibly important, and I am beyond excited to share some insights and actionable advice with you!
Understanding Fertility Challenges
Did you know that 1 in 8 women struggle with fertility issues? That number has been steadfast for a while, but given the complexities of today's world, it might actually be a bit higher. Fertility challenges are rising, starting younger in women, and they come with an array of complications. However, there's a silver lining—by adopting holistic and functional practices, you can immensely improve your fertility journey.
Why Holistic Approaches Matter
Monica passionately shared that over 90% of fertility issues could see significant improvements through holistic means, barring structural and severe genetic issues. Think of it: our bodies are interconnected ecosystems. Your hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenals, liver, and gut are all pieces of the fertility puzzle. When one area is under stress, it trickles down, affecting your ability to conceive.
Here are my top takeaways from our conversation:
- Get to the Root: Whether it's a thyroid imbalance, gut health issues, or hidden inflammation—you should aim to find and tackle the root cause. It isn't just about putting a Band-Aid on the symptoms.
- Trust Your Intuition: Don't let medical professionals dismiss your concerns. You know your body best. Advocate for yourself. If your doctor isn’t listening, find one who will. You’re paying them, after all!
- Mind Your Mind: This journey is as much mental and emotional as it is physical. Focus on the present, let go of rigid timelines, and remember that your mental health is pivotal. Fertility issues can sometimes be rooted in subconscious beliefs and past traumas, so addressing these can make a world of difference.
- It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint: Implementing holistic methods won’t fix things overnight, but with consistency and dedication, the changes can be profound. You’re in this for the long haul, so be patient with yourself and embrace the small victories.
Actionable Advice: Start Today
If you're dealing with fertility concerns or even thinking about starting a family down the road, now is the time to take action:
- Holistic Health Check: Look at your diet, lifestyle, and stress levels. Start with your gut and work your way through detoxifying your environment and healing emotionally.
- Gather Your Support Tribe: Surround yourself with people who support your journey, be it friends, family, or a fertility coach like Monica.
- Small Steps Lead to Big Changes: Small lifestyle changes, like a cleaner diet or mindful practices, can set the stage for big shifts in your overall health.
