Struggling with fertility? The answer might be hiding in an unexpected place: your gut! 🤯 In this deep dive, we uncover how your digestive health is intimately connected to your ability to conceive and carry a healthy pregnancy.

Join me as I'm joined with Margaret Floyd Barry. The author of Eat Naked and The Naked Foods Cookbook, she successfully reversed her own autoimmune condition using the same therapeutic strategies she now applies with clients. A passionate marathon runner, she celebrated her 50th birthday by running 50 miles. Originally from Canada, she now lives just outside of Boston with her husband James, their two daughters, Sia and Sasha, as well as a dog and a cat. She also serves as the Executive Director of Restorative Wellness Solutions, an organization with over 1,300 alumni.

So often overlooked, gut health can be a critical piece of the fertility puzzle for both men and women. We'll explore:

✅ The 5 Key Connections: Discover exactly how nutrient absorption, hormone balance, inflammation, hidden infections (like H. pylori!), and overall gut ecology impact your reproductive health.

✅ Why Stool Testing is CRUCIAL: Learn about a specific stool test (like the GI Map) that can reveal vital clues your body is trying to give you – even if you have NO digestive symptoms!

✅ Beyond Probiotics: Understand why just taking a probiotic isn't enough and what a comprehensive gut-healing approach for fertility truly entails.

✅ Specific Pathogens & Markers: We discuss H. pylori's surprising link to male fertility (low testosterone, poor sperm motility) and how certain bacteria can disrupt your hormones (hello, estrogen dominance!).

✅ Actionable Insights: Learn about key dietary triggers (like gluten) and supportive strategies to address digestive dysfunction and reduce inflammation.

If you're looking for answers and ready to explore a powerful, often-missed avenue for boosting your fertility, this video is a must-watch! We'll explain why healing your gut isn't just a preliminary step—it's an INTEGRAL part of your fertility journey.
