Why You Need to Know This if You Have POF/POI and Low AMH
2020-07-20
Justine Altman joins us today and we're taking your questions.
As you may know we take a functional approach to fertility. We have access to functional lab testing that allows us to make targeted diet and lifestyle changes that dramatically improve conception.
I know when I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure at 28 I didn’t even get a second opinion.
I had no idea that there were underlying factors that were impacting my fertility.
With the functional approach we don’t focus on the diagnosis.
We look at the whole body in order to address missed healing opportunities.
And if you are struggling with infertility there are underlying causes as to why it’s not working.
Pumping yourself full of medication and going to the fertility clinic is not the answer.
Today we’re answering your questions.
Check out episode #6 for a functional medicine 101 talk plus a look at some of the tools we use to help couples conceive.
Justine is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception.
If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success.
She is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Certified Transformational Health Coach and EFT Practitioner.
Today we are discussing:
1) The functional approach for premature ovarian failure/insufficiency. Our thoughts on supplementing with DHEA and what you could be missing.
2) What to do if you are underweight and what healing opportunities may have been missed. (i.e. celiac, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, gut issues, SIBO, H.Pylori, low Vitamin D, low stomach acid, adrenal dysfunction, hypothyroidism, autoimmunity). Plus we discuss strategies to help with healthy weight gain.
3) What to do if you have Natural Killer cells. We discuss the benefits of the AIP (auto immune protocol) diet.
4) The functional approach for unexplained infertility. The importance of including your partner. (i.e. address stressors - food/gut/environmental/stress/structural) plus reviewing blood chemistry for both partners. Common themes we see are thyroid dysfunction low vitamin D, long term hormonal birth control, blood sugar imbalance.
5) Why metformin may have been recommended (even if there is not any blood sugar issues). We discuss metformin side effects.
6) What to do if you have low AMH. We discuss our proven functional approach to help you get pregnant naturally or improve the success with IVF.
7) We dig into period health and what your cycle is telling you.

It doesn't matter whether you're 28 or 38. You're already READY to have your baby... you just wish your body would catch you up.
You may be feeling impatient, frustrated, which leads to you trying to plan and control EVERY aspect to 'make it work'.
But clinging on tighter to something you want often leads to panic and stress. And we both know that those things don't benefit your fertility journey.
What if there was another way?
One where you just knew that it would work out for you?
Where you could finally relax and stop worrying about timing, planning, and controlling the outcome.
You'd just know that your child was waiting for you. That the SOUL of your baby - was waiting for you.
How would the journey look different if you KNEW that your baby really was waiting?
Would it be easier?
Give you more trust in the process?
Help you feel peaceful?
I’m excited to announce our Step Into Your Power course is OPEN for registration.
Here’s what you can expect during the 6-week course:
Week #1 - How To Use Your Intuition Over Your Inner Critic
We all have an inner critic. The voice inside your head, that unless we train ourselves, can take over our lives and make us feel that nothing will work. You’ll learn how to turn down the volume on the voice in your head so that you can encourage that little voice of wisdom, (otherwise known as your intuition) in order to see a positive outcome.
Week #2 - Tuning Into The Spiritual Nudges
Whether you believe in the universe/God/Higher Power - they really DO have the best in mind for you. And if you really knew and BELIEVED this to be true, how would you approach this journey differently? You’ll learn to listen to the spiritual nudges we all have and to dream big so that you can move from overthinking and worry to trusting the process and knowing that your baby is waiting for you.
Week #3: Reclaiming Yourself
During tough times it can be easy to lose touch who we are or who we used to be. You’ll learn to gather the pieces of yourself to discover who you are becoming so that you can see a positive future and feel whole again.
Week #4: Connecting With Nature and Your Spirit Animal
We live in a world where many of us have lost our connection with nature. Mother nature has great lessons to teach us (if we know how to listen). You’ll learn to connect with your power animal (yes we all have them) so that you can gather a deeper understanding of what this journey means for you. Plus you’ll discover how to add helpers to every room and you’ll begin to listen to your guides who only want the best for you and can help with your fertility journey.
Week #5: Developing a Spiritual Contract
Your baby is waiting just for you. They have been chosen you to be their parent. You’ll learn how to prepare to conceive, how to engage with a spiritual contract so that you can soften into the awareness that divine timing is different from your timing. You’ll finally be able to let go of the despair and need for over control so that you can move from thinking and planning into a quiet state of knowing and feeling confident in your quest to have a baby naturally.
Week #6: Accessing Your Superpower
You’ll discover how to move into an attitude of gratitude and why being grateful is a superpower. Plus with the help of your guides, you’ll raise your vibration so that you can see and feel the signs that are all around you so that you can connect with your future baby.
At the end of the 6 weeks, you’ll be able to approach your fertility journey with a lighter more intentional mindset. You’ll step into that place of knowing, also known as your heart space that is filled with the healing power of love. The control, worry, and frustration will take a backseat as you step into your power so that you can trust that your future baby is waiting for you.
The course will start in early September, however registration closes Tuesday July 21st at midnight PST.
