Summary
It's estimated that 1 in 8 couples are struggling with infertility, and it's clear that the mainstream health + wellness approach to infertility is not identifying & addressing the issue at its root. In this episode, we sit down with Ashlee Rowland, who spent 4 years trying ALL the popular "health" diets [fasting, keto, paleo, AIP... you name it - she's tried it]. The end result was further depletion, deeper imbalances, & even a PCOS diagnosis. By God's grace, a friend introduced her to the idea of her minerals & metabolism. After only 2 months of working to restore her metabolism & all that had been depleted from birth control + fad diets, Ashlee healed her infertility & got pregnant with her baby boy! She has since developed an online course called Bare Naked Hormones, which provides her own personal blueprints to turn down the noise of the wellness world & balance hormones holistically.
Join us as we sit down & discuss the following:
- Ashlee’s health story & how she regressed into hormonal imbalance, PCOS, & infertility while doing all the “right” things
- How Ashlee learned that her metabolism was the root of all her health issues
- Ashlee’s infertility journey & why she realized she needed to stop trying to get pregnant while healing
- The failure of mainstream health + wellness to address infertility at its root
- The foundational roots of fertility
- Ashlee’s take on the top 3 contributors to infertility
- When to seek 1-1 support & testing on an fertility journey
- Which tests are actually helpful & which ones aren’t
- The truth about clomid, metformin, & fertility interventions
- Other audience Q&A
