When I was dealing with infertility, I had one blo

When I was dealing with infertility, I had one blocked fallopian tube and subpar hormones. I knew very little about nutrition, though I thought I did because I was a vegetarian and loved to eat veggies!

I tried several IUI’s with no success and figured it was mainly due to my blocked tube - which I didn’t know was able to be fixed. I was pretty clueless and my doctor offered no good suggestions besides IUI/IVF.

I was eventually lead to a nutritionist who recommended an anti-inflammatory diet and a handful of supportive nutrients that my body needed.
A year later – still no baby – I decided to get another test (HSG) to see if my tube had opened up and it had! My chances had just doubled!
I ended up getting pregnant naturally and had a natural childbirth at 44. After all I had been through and learned, I decided to go to nutrition school when my son was two years old. Learning about fertility optimization has lead me to study gut health, hormones, detoxification, nervous system and the mitochondria.

If you have a blocked tube
1) My first recommendation is a nutrient dense diet – removing inflammatory foods such as gluten, dairy, sugar, seed oils, and all processed foods from their diet.

2) Next, I run a food sensitivity test to determine which foods create inflammation in their body specifically. I even create meal plans excluding the offending foods.

3) Lastly, I recommend a supplement called Serraxym, a potent proteolytic enzyme formula which includes serratiopeptidase, an enzyme famous for its anti-inflammatory properties. Serratiopeptidase has the ability to break down scar tissue that may be creating a blockage, and it will also lower any inflammation that may be causing the tube to be constricted.

If you have a blocked fallopian tube(s) and would like to give this a try, you can order a bottle from US Enzymes. This company makes the best quality and most potent enzymes on the market.

We need to support our fertility (and our overall health and aging) by supporting the energy powerhouses of all of our cells. In addition to diet (see previous post), there are other things we can do to upregulate or optimize our mitochondrial function

☠️ Clear toxins
🪱 Clear chronic infection
💧Drink distilled water
☀️ Sunlight daily 10 to 20 minutes per day
🏋️‍♀️ Strength training
🌱 Supplement support:

✅ BC-ATP - most powerful supplement for supporting and optimizing mitochondrial function 
✅ CT-Minerals - supports cellular repair and immunity, nourishes tissues, promotes energy production, and enhances mental clarity
 ✅ HydrOxygen - promotes several natural processes and functions, including ATP production, cellular respiration, and detoxification. 
✅ Advanced TUDCA - a strong inhibitor of mitochondrial apoptosis

Mitochondrial health is essential for optimizing fertility. If you feel tired and sluggish, chances are you don’t have optimal mitochondrial function and your fertility may be suffering.

The female egg cell (oocyte) is the most mitochondria-rich cell in existence, containing 100,000 mitochondria! (in contrast, sperm only have fewer than one hundred!) It takes about three months for our eggs to mature and during that time they need to be nourished.

If you are trying to conceive, it is so important to eat the right foods to optimize your mitochondrial function aka ATP/energy production. Here are the top nutrients that support mitochondrial function and the foods that are most rich in each.
Eat a variety!
