If you’ve suffered from recurring pregnancy loss I’m sorry for the pain you’re going through. It’s harsh. There’s no way to sugar coat it.

🤷🏻‍♀️So what to do next?

Unfortunately there is no magic supplement & most likely IUI or IVF won’t be the fix you’re looking for either, since your issue is not getting pregnant, but staying pregnant. So please don’t waste your money on expensive fertility treatments without first addressing the root cause.

RPLs are usually a cause of one or more of the following :

(👋🏼Before we dive in, have you downloaded my Free Fertility Checklist? Comment LIST below & I’ll send it to you!)

1. EndomeTRITIS or endometriosis. Have you had a hysteroscopy &/or endometrial biopsy yet?
2. Reproductive immunology issues (have you had an autoimmune blood planet yet?
3. Structural issues- have you had a saline ultrasound yet?
4. Low thyroid &/or progesterone . Have you had both tested? And not just TSH you need the whole panel . TSH, Free T3, Free T4
& antibodies & a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA)to make sure you aren’t thyroid cell resistant!

Please don’t give up. You’ve got this 🙏🏼

Did you know that females are prone to a hyper alert social nervous system due to our abundance of estrogen?

Our first perception of safety comes from what is called the social nervous system. This is actually the newest branch of the nervous system to be discovered. The social nervous system was designed to let us know if our environment is safe!! It starts when scanning peoples faces to perceive if we are safe or not safe.

As females, due to a more abundant amount of estrogen than males, we have a hyper alert social nervous system. This allows us to bond better (especially with our children which is the primary purpose) We are literally physiologically hardwired to care more about connection and bonding than men!

But because of this it also puts us at more risk to fit in, people please, or fawn! Saying yes to baking 100 cupcakes for the school event even though your schedule is fully loaded? Saying yes to the doctor when they make advice that doesn’t align with your beliefs? Freezing like a deer in headlights instead of saying no to advances that you’d rather not have.

This is why with any hormone healing plan, nervous system work is imperative. It can’t be ignored .

For a truly integrative approach, nervous system work is key. The body will never heal if it doesn’t feel safe. Nervous system work also allows us to establish stronger boundaries and advocate for ourselves.

Something you can start doing daily to nurture your nervous system? Get outside and put your feet on the grass, sand, or dirt! Look out and scan your horizon. With connection to the earth we receive negative ions that calm us. Bonus if you take some deep mindful breaths in the process.

So many of my clients come to me after recurrent pregnancyloss, &/or spending $20K–$30K on multiple failed IVF or IUI rounds-feeling defeated. 💔

And every time, I see the same issue: major gaps in fertility testing.

❌ No full thyroid panel
❌ No inflammatory markers
❌ No uterine microbiome testing
❌ No iron panel

Yet, clinics are quick to recommend another round… and another. 😩

Before you spend thousands again, ask yourself:

👉 Have I optimized my fertility first?

Check for:
✔️ Autoimmunity
✔️ Infections
✔️ Thyroid + gut imbalances
✔️ Male factor issues
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies

I don’t believe in “unexplained infertility.” It just means no one’s looked deep enough.

The communication between the top down process from the Hypothalamus to the ovaries (HPO Axis) to ovulate is a delicate one, and takes a few years to regulate.⁠
⁠
This is why it's common (and normal!!) for teenagers to experience menstrual cycle irregularities the first few years they are ovulating.⁠
⁠
❌The absolute worst thing one can do for their daughter if they are experiencing PCOS like symptoms, heavy periods, painful periods, irregular periods, PMS, acne, etc is to STOP the process or ovulation regulation with hormonal birth control.⁠
⁠
🔊Hormonal birth control will not FIX the problem, it will just SILENCE the symptoms.⁠
⁠
Furthermore, it will rob your daughter of crucial nutrients, minerals, and hormones needed for optimal health. It will also wreak havoc on her microbiome most likely resulting in digestive issues and later on even autoimmune disease. It could also impact her future fertility.⁠
⁠
Plain and simple, the pill puts us at more risk for depression and autoimmune disorders.⁠

Over the years, I’ve had countless clients come to me feeling defeated after multiple failed IVFs and IUIs, each one costing $20K–$30K (or more). And every time, I see the same problem: glaring gaps in their fertility testing.⁠
⁠
❌ No full thyroid panel⁠
❌ No inflammatory markers⁠
❌ No iron panel⁠
⁠
Yet, clinics are more than happy to take your money for another round. Again. And again. And again. 😩⁠
⁠
By the time couples find me, I’ve become their “last resort”—the fertility nutritionist they stumbled upon before giving up. But I don’t want to be your last resort.⁠
⁠
Before you drop thousands on another cycle, ask yourself: Have I optimized my fertility first?⁠
⁠
🔎 Have you checked for:⁠
✔️ Autoimmunity?⁠
✔️ Low-lying infections?⁠
✔️ Thyroid imbalances?⁠
✔️ Male factor issues?⁠
✔️ Gut health + nutrient deficiencies?⁠
⁠
Here’s the truth: I don’t believe in unexplained infertility. That diagnosis often just means no one has looked deeper. And when it comes to egg reserve, quality matters more than quantity.⁠
⁠
In 2024 alone, all of my fertility clients (all over 35!) conceived healthy pregnancies, many after failed IVF, multiple miscarriages, and being told they’d never conceive naturally.⁠
⁠
🙏🏼I’d love to help you achieve your dream of parenthood, too. Comment YES if you’d like to be added to the waitlist to work with me in The Pregnancy Package. Enrollment opens in the next few weeks & only taking 10 couples in this cohort. Those on the waitlist get priority.⁠
⁠
Your body is capable of incredible things with the right support. If you’re ready to optimize your fertility, I’m here to help. 💛

Your period tells an important story-especially when it comes to getting pregnant and staying pregnant naturally. Understanding its signals can empower you on your fertility journey.⁠
⁠
As a nutritionist specializing in fertile health, here are five key period qualities I look for:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ A regular cycle length between 25–36 days, ideally staying consistent each month (give or take a day). Consistency is a great sign!⁠
⁠
2️⃣ 2–3 days of fertile cervical mucus (clear, stretchy, and similar to raw egg whites) leading up to ovulation, indicating strong ovulatory function.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ A luteal phase lasting at least 11 days, which suggests healthy progesterone and thyroid levels-both essential for sustaining pregnancy.⁠
⁠
4️⃣ A bleed lasting 3–6 days, with no spotting beforehand, signaling a smooth transition between hormonal phases.⁠
⁠
5️⃣ Bright cranberry-red blood with a maple syrup consistency, and little to no clotting-this reflects good uterine health.⁠
⁠
✨ Bonus: Your period should be pain-free! While mild cramping on the first or second day can be normal, severe pain may indicate inflammation or other underlying conditions, which can affect egg quality and implantation.⁠
⁠
If you’re ready to get pregnant & stay pregnant naturally in 2025, I’d love to support you through The Pregnancy Package.⁠

You’ve done everything they said might help.

🔬 The blood tests.
🖥️ The ultrasounds.
📆 The ovulation tracking.
💊 The supplements.
💔 Maybe even the grief of a loss no one can explain.

And yet…
You keep hearing the same empty reassurances:
“Everything looks normal.”
“Just keep trying.”
“Let’s wait a bit longer…”
Or the one that cuts deepest: “Come back after your third miscarriage.”

No. Just no.
You deserve better…so much better.

🤍You deserve to be taken seriously the first time.
🤍You deserve support that sees the whole picture — not just lab numbers.
🤍You deserve answers without having to suffer more first.

Here’s the truth:
✨ Your symptoms matter.
✨ “Normal” doesn’t mean your body is functioning at its best.
✨ There is a path forward — and it starts with real answers.

🔥Inside The Pregnancy Package, we go where standard protocols stop.

We dig deeper. Ask smarter questions. Look for the patterns others miss.

Because when you finally understand what your body is trying to tell you, you shift from guessing to knowing. From surviving to hopeful.

💫 If you’re tired of being dismissed, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep doing this on your own.

👋🏼Drop a YES in the comments and I’ll send you all the details to book a free Discovery Call.

Let’s uncover what’s been missing-together.

Fertility clinics use AMH as the holy grail of egg quantity and pregnancy success.⁠
⁠
But there is a huge flaw in this method.⁠
⁠
AMH doesn’t predict the success of natrual pregnancy. It only predicts the success for IVF.⁠
⁠
I do not care about your AMH number. What I care about is the quality of your eggs, not quantity.⁠
⁠
And babe, it is completely possible to improve your egg quality! Not only can your AMH improve (but as I said earlier you shouldn’t stress about that number), but your egg quality can improve dramatically after diet, lifestyle, and supplement changes. I’ve seen it in hundreds of my clients over the past decade.⁠
⁠
And myself! At 37 I got pregnant naturally with PCOS even though I was told it would be highly unlikely!⁠
⁠
👋🏼Comment LIST below to get my FREE Fertility Checklist to see what myself & my clients did to improve our egg quality.⁠
⁠
SO unless you’re going the IVF route, don’t worry about your AMH. Instead, work on improving your egg quality and your partners s***m quality by following the 9 steps I’ve outlined in my FREE Fertility Checklist.⁠
