Autoimmune Thyroid from Fertility to Post-Partum

I had a great conversation on the podcast with Dr. Jolene Brighten, ND about thyroid conditions, and how they effect our fertility, our baby's health and our own post-partum health.

One thing I think is important to understand deeply is that our reproductive stages are linked, and minding this continuum is critical to our health as we try to conceive, carry a child, and then support a new baby.

Fertility Success through the Four Pillars with Angela Tisci, LAc

It's easy to get caught in our 'critter brain' when we are trying to conceive.  Patients and practitioners alike can be so busy chasing symptoms and the latest trends, that the fundamental needs of whole health are ignored.

Today acupuncturist, health coach and holistic fertility expert Angela Tisci teaches us about:

  • The four pillars of health, including financial health and how this plays into the fertility path
  • How the right career and a clean house can support your fertility!

PCOS, Ammenorhea and More on the Podcast this month

Ammenorhea can be caused by post-birth control use, overtraining, under-eating, extreme diets and stress.  There is a good chance you'll experience a bout of ammenorhea in your lifetime.
