    140: Dr. Katie Lee - The Importance Of Oral Microbiome For Fertility
    Jan 28 2025

    Today, I sat down with Katie Lee - she is a dentist and an author (“Saved by the mouth”). The research supporting oral microbiome and fertility health is astounding. Countless patients who have been able to get pregnant after dealing with oral infections. Not to mention the association between oral care and complications during pregnancy and labor. You can’t have a healthy gut without a healthy mouth. And you can’t have a healthy uterus without a healthy gut. I hope you enjoy the conversion as much as I did.

    Key Takeways

    5:24 Oral microbiome's impact on fertility

    16:51 Symptoms of oral infections

    35:25 Unexplained infertility and surrogacy

    49:21 Essential dental hygiene practices

    Memorable Quotes"What we know is that the bacteria in the mouth unfortunately doesn't stay in the mouth. The mouth has the second largest microbiome in the body. And when our body is chronically inflamed, the tissues in the mouth start to break down, and the bacteria that are there can leak into the gums, get into the bloodstream. And one of the places they love to go, unfortunately, is the female and male reproductive tracts.""We have five surfaces to our teeth. We have top, the chewing surface, the cheek, tongue, and then in between. In between the teeth is where we have the papillas or the gum tissue. That is where the blood supply is. Your toothbrush does not clean in between the teeth. So if you are only brushing and not flossing, you're cleaning three out of five surfaces and you're missing the two most important.""The most critical to all of this is making sure that you're using chemical free, non harsh, non toxic products. A lot of people are using the Colgate, the Crest, the Oral B, like all that stuff that's full of chemicals. We know that the mouth is really absorbent. If you're putting toothpaste in your mouth that's full of chemicals, sure you're spitting it out, but how much of that is absorbing into your system? Quite a bit."Connect with Dr. Katie Lee

    139: Approaching Fertility Over 40
    Jan 21 2025

    If you are approaching 40 or over 40yo and you want to have a baby, I have a couple of very helpful tips for you as a naturopathic doctor and natural fertility expert. Having a baby in your 40s is not the same as having a baby in your 20s. And since time is not on your side, just trying things out and seeing what happens isn’t a good strategy. We can do better and in this episode I show you how you can set yourself up for success.

    18:23 Optimizing fertility in your 40s

    Memorable Quotes"Pregnancy over 40 is very different than having a baby in your 20s. You are closer to menopause than you are to puberty, so things are working very differently in your 40s.""When you're over 40 trying to have a baby, don't do any guessing. You don't have time to struggle. I recommend doing thorough testing before even thinking about conceiving.""If you now decided you want to have a baby at 40, the responsible thing is to do some really thorough testing and get your partner involved from day one. Both of you need to have comprehensive testing done to optimize your chances."Connect With Dr. Jane Levesque

    138: Endometriosis - Is It Possible to Heal and Conceive with Endo?
    Jan 7 2025

    I haven’t talked about Endometriosis for a while, so today I want to share with you what I have been learning about Endometriosis/adenomyosis from my mentor and how I have been approaching treatment with my patients. It is a complex disease and it needs frequent testing, monitoring and adjustments in protocols. It is possible to heal, but we need to understand a couple of things first. Tune in to learn more.

    Memorable Quotes"We have to first stop the root cause of why that disease is progressing and then help the body heal.""Your fertility is a reflection of your entire life. And truthfully, it's a reflection of your mom's health during pregnancy, your mom's and your dad's health, but your mom's health more so because you grew in her womb.""Even though approximately 1 in 10 women are struggling with endometriosis, not a single woman will express that disease in the same way. Some women will have tremendously painful periods where they cannot live without painkillers, while others will have very little pain."Connect With Dr. Jane Levesque

    135: Vaginal Microbiome For Optimal Fertility (Do You Need To Test It And Why)
    Dec 17 2024

    One of my fertility 101 members had her vaginal microbiome test done and she wanted some help to interpret the results - her findings were astounding and everyone on the group call learned something. This information is too valuable not to share - testing gives you answers. For this patient this test explained why she couldn’t carry to term (she had two miscarriages in a row at 5 weeks) and it gave her a clear path to move forward. If you find these episodes valuable, leave a rating on this episode and I will make more episodes like this. Tune in to see the full case.

    133: PCOS: How To Approach Treatment
    Dec 3 2024

    So many women are struggling with PCOS, and this is one of the main reasons that women will struggle with infertility. PCOS is a reversible condition, but most women underestimate what they need to do in order to overcome it. Because most women have no idea when the development of the disease actually started. Sometimes PCOS is triggered by birth control, but other times it’s been developing for decades. You need to take a thorough history and do some testing to get to the root cause of YOUR PCOS symptoms and treat accordingly. There is no one shoe fits all approach, and once you have the basics mastered, it’s time to dig deeper. Tune in to learn more.
