Transcript
- 0:00Katie: In this episode, you'll discover the unexpected truth that some of the expensive supplements and healthy foods you swear by could actually be working against your fertility.
- 0:13Welcome to the Finally Get Pregnant Naturally podcast, the podcast helping women identify the real reasons you haven't conceived or stayed pregnant so you and your partner can finally grow the family of your dreams.
- 0:27I'm your host, Dr.
- 0:28Katie Wood.
- 0:29Let's dive in, shall we?
- 0:31Katie: Welcome to day six of the Fall Fertility Reset Challenge.
- 0:36Katie: All week, we've talked about what your doctor and labs have missed, and today is a little different because today we're talking about the things you're already doing right or at least the things you've been told are right.
- 0:51Katie: So I know you, you're the woman who does the work.
- 0:55Katie: You've cleaned up your diet.
- 0:57Katie: You take the supplements.
- 0:59Katie: You've probably spent a small fortune building the perfect fertility routine.
- 1:05Katie: So this one isn't about doing more, it's about whether you're already doing what is actually right for you and your fertility.
- 1:17Katie: The first that we're gonna talk about is reaction.
- 1:21Katie: There's a difference between food that's healthy in general and food that's healthy for your body right now.
- 1:29Katie: You can be eating the cleanest, most intentional diet and still be reacting to specific foods in a way that's driving inflammation without dramatic symptoms.
- 1:42Katie: No obvious stomach ache, just a quiet low-grade immune response running in the background in the exact body that you're trying to get pregnant in.
- 1:53Katie: The way I actually look at this is a food sensitivity test.
- 1:57Katie: So instead of guessing which foods, you see exactly what your body is reacting to, and often it's actually the healthy foods that you're eating every single day, the ones that you'd never suspect because you eat them constantly.
- 2:15Katie: This one has honestly hit the hardest for my clients, but it's quite important to address.
- 2:21Katie: The second is what you're actually absorbing.
- 2:25Katie: Eating well and being well-nourished aren't the same thing.
- 2:29Katie: You can have a beautiful diet on paper and still come up short on the nutrients your fertility depends on because it's not just what's on your plate, it's how much your body actually breaks down and gets into your
- 2:44Katie: cells, and there's a test for that too, a cellular nutrient assay that measures what's actually getting inside your cells, not just what's floating around in your blood.
- 2:56Katie: Remember on day three we talked about testing the gut?
- 3:00Katie: Well, this is where everything comes full circle.
- 3:03Katie: It's also why a standard blood test misses this.
- 3:07Katie: What's floating in your blood isn't the same as what is making it inside your cells.
- 3:12Katie: So you can look normal, but still be quietly depleted where it matters most.
- 3:19Katie: Now let's talk supplements.
- 3:21Katie: This is the part I really, really want you to hear because it can save you money and get you better results.
- 3:28Katie: So many women are spending hundreds of dollars a month on antioxidants and supplements that they heard about on a podcast, an influencer, or a generic fertility stack that they read in a book.
- 3:42Katie: Take CoQ10, for example.
- 3:44Katie: It's one of the most recommended fertility supplements out there, and it can be great.
- 3:50Katie: There have been plenty of studies to show this.
- 3:54Katie: But when you actually test what's happening at the cellular level for you as an individual, in my clients I see CoQ10 is very often not the antioxidant that moves the needle most for their body, or it's not the
- 4:10Katie: one that's going to give them the most protection, okay?
- 4:14Katie: And that's the theme of this whole day.
- 4:16Katie: It's not about doing more.
- 4:18Katie: It's about doing what's actually right and aligned for you and your body, and the only way to know that is to actually look at your specific food response and your cells instead of guessing.
- 4:31Katie: So this brings me to another client story.
- 4:34Katie: We did these tests that I'm explaining here, the food sensitivity test and also the cellular assay okay, so this brings me to one of my client success stories, and we ran these tests that I'm talking about here, the
- 4:49Katie: food sensitivity test, the cellular nutrient assay, and she showed off the chart insufficient levels of so many nutrients required for healthy fertility, and she was reacting to a lot of foods across the board.
- 5:04Katie: I'm talking severe, moderate, and mild sensitivities, even to the foods that she was eating daily that she thought was healthy and good for her fertility.
- 5:13Katie: And yes, they are healthy and good for fertility, but if your body is reacting to it, then that's not gonna be the best foods for you to be eating.
- 5:23Katie: Once we addressed it, and this includes addressing her gut, because if you're not able to absorb what you're eating, which is one of the reasons why her nutrient levels were showing up as insufficient, that's really going to have
- 5:36Katie: a negative impact on your fertility.
- 5:39Katie: But once we addressed all of these things across the board, she was able to conceive naturally.
- 5:45Katie: So if you're sitting here and you feel like you've been doing everything right, but you're still not getting results, please hear this.
- 5:53Katie: It's not that you're not doing enough.
- 5:56Katie: It may be that some of what you're doing was never matched to your body's needs in the first place.
- 6:03Katie: But that's a very fixable and addressable problem because once you stop guessing and start testing, that's when you can really start seeing these positive shifts.
- 6:14Katie: Because here's the truth.
- 6:15Katie: Every month you keep pouring money into the wrong fertility stack is another month your body still isn't getting what it actually needs.
- 6:25Katie: And that's why Decode Your Fertility was made for you.
- 6:29Katie: It's my fertility root cause testing framework that shows you what's exactly happening in your body, in your cells, the foods quietly working against you, the nutrients you're missing, the inputs that are right for you instead of for everyone
