My sister recommended that I get outside and pick some nettles, they are everywhere at the moment.
I often find that people are low in iron in clinic and this is a great way to top up your levels.
They are so tasty and can be added to omelettes or used as a veg, or in a tea.
They are full of iron, vitamin C, K, B’s, calcium and magnesium to name a few. And they were so tasty too.
Yay the sun is out in early April!
But make sure you stay hydrated, it’s honestly one of the things that a lot of my clients forget, even when they are doing everything else.
I carry a water bottle and fill it a few times a day so I know how much I have had.
We feel rubbish when we are dehydrated, and it can really affect health, hormones and fertility.
So drink it up! It’s good for you.
It was so wonderful to meet Marysia’s little ones yesterday. It’s truly the best part of my job.
So I thought I would share her story with you. Marysia came to me a few years ago. She had been through a lot at that point. A few rounds of ivf which sadly ended in miscarriage each time.
When she came to see us we did a review on all her tests to see that everything was at optimal levels.
We checked her NK cell testing that her clinic had done and I found that her results showed that her NK cells were much improved with intralipids, so told her to ask if she could add this protocol to her ivf at her clinic. Long story short they said let’s give it a try and this resulted in pregnancy and her beautiful little girl Polly.
We then had to repeat NK testing when she was ready to try again for her second child. Again it showed that the NK cells were much improved with intralipids so we went for that protocol again and she fell pregnant with her wonderful little boy.
We worked together closely at this point and I was there for anything that cropped up during this time.
This is why moments like these are so special, we have lived this journey together and I’ve got your back all the way. I feel truly blessed to be part of these precious times with this lovely family. ❤️
How do you know if you have ovulated?
They are lots of things we can look out for.
Temperature that rises and stays up for at least 3 days, if you track your BBT this can be a good indicator of ovulation.
Cervical mucus, when mucus goes to egg white consistency it’s around the time of ovulation. It’s the sperm’s super highway remember!
Sometimes pain, but not for everyone. It affects around 40% of people. It’s normally felt on one side of the pelvic region. This is called mittelschmerz.
Increased sex drive, some people find that at this time they have more energy and libido, it makes sense really in terms of the propagation of the species!
Do you get any of these signs of ovulation? It may be helpful to jot down your signs to start with, so that you can check what is happening every month.

Fertility struggles can feel like a long road ahead.
Where do you go for trusted information along the way.
What worked for one person doesn’t necessarily work for you. We are all different people with different issues. You need to be treated like an individual.
For trusted protocols by fully trained experts make sure you have the right people on your team.
Optimal health is so important before trying to convince or starting IVF.
Let us take you down the right path, we work with the best fertility experts in the business and can refer you to them if needed. We guide you on your journey. So you don’t have to guess or rush into ivf without any preparation time or investigations into why this is happening and what the root cause is.

As we step into a new year we reflect on the past, present and the future.
Looking at our clinics stats last year, we had our most successful year for making you fertile and healthy. This is because we have got our protocols bang on. We dig deep to get to the bottom of why things aren’t happening, and refer to the best in the business if needed.
We have a Points plan for supplements, diet and lifestyle. Sometimes it’s just little tweaks here and there can make all the difference.
So looking to the future do you want to find some answers to why it’s not happening for you? Do you need a wing woman in your corner to guide you through the whole process?
I do a free 15 minute discovery call, where we can have a chat and see if you are the right candidate for our clinic.
You don’t have to do this alone or getting more confused with ChatGPT come and see a real person/expert who can help you on this journey. With real protocols for real people.

The monthly hormonal dance.
This is an optional hormone pattern, but of course it doesn’t always happen like this.
If your hormones are off, you can see more PMT, mood changes bloating, pain and headaches, and of course it can affect your fertility.
We can help hormones become more balanced when we use acupuncture.
How does it work?
It brings more blood flow to the reproductive organs.
It brings down the bodies inflammation.
It improves the bodies HPO (hypothalamus, pituitary, ovarian) axis. This is how the body controls its hormonal signals. Which can sometimes be impaired.
If you feel like your hormones aren’t happy we can help.
