I'm a Naturopathic Doctor who became an accidental expert in the foundational things that support fertility after my own experiences of trying to conceive, pregnancy loss and infertility.
I wanted to do whatever I could to get pregnant (and stay pregnant), but I also didn’t want to waste my time with things that were not actually helpful or evidence based (because let’s face it, anyone can post on Instagram about what they did to help them get pregnant.... #nothelpful).
And as it turns out, there are researched-based ways to prevent infertility. There are easy things you can do to improve your chances of getting pregnant. And these things also help you to have a healthy pregnancy! Win win.
