Ep. 176: The Missing Link In Your Fertility Treatments: Gut Health

Oct 7

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In this episode, I share why gut health is the foundation of every fertility case, even when there are no digestive symptoms. I break down a smarter, more strategic approach to healing the gut: assess first, then clear pathogens and finally, rebuild the terrain with the right tools. It’s not about guessing or just taking a probiotic - gut health is complex, and getting it right can transform your fertility journey.
