Everybody in Austin calls you the baby whisperer.

Oh, I didn't know that. If you were having any sort of issue with getting pregnant, everybody says, oh my gosh, Ann Shippey is the woman to go to. I am a conventional doctor. I am an MD. I'm an internist. But because of my own health problems, I had to search outside the box and figure out what's going on. What is the biggest mistake people make when they're

trying to detox from mold? So I think about detoxing as a series of dams. And if you open the

upstream dam too fast, you're going to flood. And so instead of actually helping the toxins

to leave your body, they might just be recirculating.

Anne, thank you so much for coming on.

I'm so excited to have this conversation with you.

I know, me too.

I've been looking forward to this so much.

So I'd actually been hearing your name for a long time. And then our mutual friend, Jason Karp, invited me to your book party

for your book launch. And I was like, oh my gosh, everybody's been telling me about Ann Shippey

that I needed to get her on the podcast and to check out her book because everybody in Austin calls

you the baby whisperer. Oh, I didn't know that. That's so good to hear. Really? Oh, yeah. Everybody

talks about you as the baby whisperer where if you were having any sort of issue with getting pregnant, everybody says, oh my gosh, Ann Shippey is the woman to go to. So I actually had you on the back burner because when my husband and I moved to Austin, I'm 41. We didn't know how I was going to go, obviously. And we took about six months before, and we can talk about this too, but my husband and I took about six months before we tried just to really clean ourselves up. Like we were doing sauna every day. We did protocols based on our blood work because we were working with a doctor and we were living in Denver and we did a whole detox protocol and

really just got ourselves healthy and ready before we tried to conceive. But you know in the back of my mind. I love it that you knew to do that because that's what the book is all about. Like how to get ready for pregnancy at any age. Yes, which is why I want to get. Yay. So it works, right? Yes. I mean. It really does. of that. And actually, this was when we first met, this is the first thing I said to you,

and I came up to you. Well, I'm living proof of that.

And actually, this was when we first met, this is the first thing I said to you and

I came up to you is like, I am dying to talk to you because I did a whole protocol.

I'm 41 and we got pregnant literally on the first try, which is wild because all the

statistics were working against me.

And I love it that you're living proof to what I'm teaching about because I really so want

to give people hope that they don't need to rush into IVF and other alternative message
