Manage episode 446712482 series 3610537
Ellen is a qualified Naturopath, living on the Sunshine Coast in QLD and running an online clinic offering personalised support to women with hormonal issues and couples wanting to fall pregnant through 1 on 1 consultations and comprehensive online courses.
Ellen's holistic approach to fertility has facilitated numerous success stories worldwide, helping couples who have faced multiple miscarriages, unexplained infertility diagnoses, age-related fertility concerns, and those seeking alternatives before going down the IVF route.
With a special interest in women’s hormonal conditions and fertility, she investigates thoroughly through comprehensive testing, employs the fertility awareness method, herbal medicine, nutrient therapies, and nervous system regulation to help couples overcome various challenges.
Ellen and I had the most informative and honest chat about her work around fertility in what she calls the “middle bit”, the area between trying for a baby without success and heading to the mind field that is IVF. There are SO many areas within the male and female physiology that can be addressed Naturopathically for improvement to sperm and egg quality which can then lead to successful conception. We talk about the difference between the medical mainstream fertility testing vs the vast array of integrative testing Naturopaths can do for a couple who is trying to conceive and the elements of our health that may be contributing to this issue.
We also talked about the notion of not just getting pregnant but how important it is to conceive a healthy baby, hold it to term and have a positive birth experience.
This is a very informative conversation and at times emotional as we talk about the difficulty of getting pregnant and how difficult it can be for some couples.
After listening to this podcast episode, you will have a new insight to your fertility and feel empowered to understand how much you can do to support yourself and your partner to conceive without necessarily going down the path of IVF (or to support the process of IVF).
*TRIGGER WARNING
We discussed baby loss, miscarriage, medical termination and other topics such as secondary infertility and unexplained infertility.
