EPISODE OVERVIEW: In today’s episode, I am sharing my fertility story and the learnings from the experience.
In this episode I discuss:

- The overwhelm of the new diagnosis and how it led me to a path of discovery about my reproductive and endocrine systems
- My traumatic miscarriage the night before our babymoon to Aruba
- Fibroid removal surgery and the subsequent steps taken to maximize my wellness for the purpose of improved fertility
- The role of integrative health and/or functional medicine in my successful pregnancy
