She's like catching routes over her shoulder, hit me in stride, and we have like a 30 minute catch festival and truly visualizing being a boy mom while on this psychedelic. I always joke. I'm like, isn't this everyone's foreplay? Isn't this what you do? You stop and you play football on your way to have sex. What's up, babe? Welcome back to the FitBiss podcast here with my lovely co-host, Aaron Diamond. Hi. Happy to do this with this with you today. It's been a while. Yeah, it has. I'm excited about what we're going to talk about today. So we're talking about our own fertility journey. We have two beautiful kids. And it didn't come without much struggle. And this is something that, you know, we want to share because we just, we just enjoy sharing anything that we've done throughout our lives that we can use to help other people.

But this is especially prevalent in the fitness industry.

So many fitness people were just really rough on our bodies.

And so fertility is a thing.

And I, I don't know how to say this without pissing some people off.

It's going to piss some people off.

Trigger warning. Yeah. And I don't mean how to say this without pissing some people off. It's going to piss some people trigger warning. And I don't mean to be insensitive, but I really do think that so many people

jump very, very quickly to IVF because it's what the medical system pushes. I mean, I could really

go down a rabbit hole here of just like, you know, the money behind it and all the things.

Jordan and I were able to get successfully pregnant twice

without IVF. And every time I mentioned this, talk about it, every time you talk about it,

people were like peptides or this or that or, you know, you especially have really, you have a lot

of knowledge now on male factor fertility. And so I want to record this podcast to just bring

awareness to other things outside of IVF and just that it was successful for us. Yeah. And look, we would have done IVF. That was like our next resort. And IVF has been a miracle practice for people to be able to have children, right? It's, yeah. It truly is one of the most modern medical miracles that I think exist. But with any great medical advent, it ends up,

I think, getting overused for profit. Yeah, 100%. So that's what we're going to jump into. And this is not just our personal story. But if you're listening to this, there's some ways that you can apply this into your business, right? Because as a fitness coach, I bet you didn't know that one in six couples will deal with fertility issues. One and six. It's wild. Yeah. So if you have six clients, one of them at some point will most likely come to you and say,

how I want to get pregnant? And. Yeah. So if you have six clients, one of them at some

point will most likely come to you and say, hey, I want to get pregnant. And it'd be nice if you're like, okay, cool, I have some skill sets to be able to apply. Not saying you have to become the fertility expert, but man, in any way that you can help by just awareness. Yeah. So we're going to take you back, okay, to the very beginning, where I did not want children.

I was pretty much, not even pretty much.

I was like fully decided on that to the extent that I'll share this part with you. I went on TRT testosterone replacement therapy, which is not conducive if you go on it, like I did it 23 years old, if you expect to have children. But to take you back in the beginning, you know, I never wanted children, grew up up in a very small town, messy divorce that I went through as a kid, witnessed like my parents hate each other and the stress that it put on our siblings. So I just told myself from a young age, I know I would probably replicate that because I was also kind of a fuck boy. She did on most girls when I was young. And that was my dating pattern, right? Like I would got in one serious relationship when I was young who I thought I was going to have children with. I was 19, started dating her. She was 25 or 26. She was the hottest girl in our hometown. It's, it was like my greatest accomplishment at 19 years old, but she wanted children in a family. And I was 19. I'm like, man, I don't know if I want to do this. So long story short, I ended up cheating on her and she cheated on me, got out of it. And so at that point between like that was 20 years old until I met Aaron at 27, my longest relationship was like two months, three months. I would break up with them right when feelings started to creep in. In fact, my way of breaking up with them was to take them to Panera bread. and this is like probably six or seven times. I would take him to Panera bread.

I'd say, hey, you know. In fact, my way of breaking up with them was to take them to Panera Bread.

And this is like probably six or seven times. I would take them to Panera Bread. I'd say, hey, you know, I don't really want to be in a long-term relationship. This isn't working out. Panera bread was really great because it was like busy enough and loud enough to where it wouldn't be a scene. You already pay for your food and everything right when you walk in. So if they storm up and leave, it's not awkward.

And it was perfect because there's multiple exits too.
