The problem is that iron is worsening Endo symptoms.

Firstly - bacterial infections are at the heart of Endometriosis or Adenomyosis - they are what drive the condition to develop in the first place.

When you take iron, bacterial infections use iron to thrive, survive and even replicate (grow).

The result of this - you are worsening the very thing that is triggering your Endo or Adeno.

Avoid iron and get tested.

Start treating the root cause, and often your iron markers on a blood panel will then normalise.

You are not ‘too much.’ This is how your body interfaces with your environment, and in order to heal your symptoms, you have to change the environment in which your symptoms developed. Its not always easy. People often won’t understand your choices, but this is what it takes to heal 🩵

I see this all the time.

I talk the female partner, and she says her male partners s***m is fine. He was told it was above average or good and that he wasn’t contributing.

A semen analysis is sadly pretty simple. It gives you a glance about how much s***m the man is making, whether it can swim fast, whether it’s shaped abnormally and how many are perfectly shaped.

However, when you really think about what the s***m is. It contains the genetic strands that go onto create life. The genetics dictate the health of the child, the ability for the child to grow into a healthy adult. S***m quality also affects the females experience through pregnancy, whether she might have a miscarriage, preterm birth, preeclampsia and more.

When you understand this, a semen analysis cannot give you that much information.

Plus, there has never not been a case where a male partner is told his semen analysis was good, and upon further investigation, I identified many Imbalances contributing. 🧬

I see similar patterns in many of the clients I work with. What fertility comes down too most of the time is …

1). The health of the persons immune system … is the persons immune system robust and healthy, or is the persons microbiome (which drives the health of their immune system to a large extent) overloaded, inflamed and dealing with infections or viruses? If it’s the latter, the female body won’t feel safe to conceive and grow a baby.

In a male, his s***m is literally bathed in a microbiome, which largely reflects his immune health and gut microbiome health.

2). Nutrient status.

It sounds so simple, buts it’s really not.

When you think about the fact that the s***m and the egg contains the genetic material to create a new life, and those genetics are formed directly through nutrients that you take in through your diet, you can start to see the importance of nutrients here.

Plus, the fact the female has to grow this baby - the only way the baby can grow is through the mothers nutrient supply - you can start to understand why nutrients are just SO important, and taking a multi vitamin in many cases won’t not be enough.

Low iron is often seen in clients with Endometriosis.

They are very often supplemented with it, or are taking it voluntarily.

The problem is that iron is worsening Endo symptoms.

When you take iron, bacterial infections use iron to thrive, survive and even replicate (grow).

Egg quality and s***m quality is largely reflecting the quality of the genetic strands contained within them - that’s why a fertility multi vitamin doesn’t often cut it, particularly if you are experiencing fertility challenges.

What is a little scary is that the modern world leads most of us further away from optimal microbiome health, with the influx of plastic exposure, air pollution, pesticides on our soils and lack fo fibre in the diet. However, what is promising is that science advances, testing advances and we know what works to transfomr the microbiome.

Don’t lose hope - your microbiome is not fixed.

The beauty of this work is that clients start to realise IVF may not be needed … or at least that this work should be carried out prior to IVF because fundamentally the health of your body (as father and mother) is paramount to pregnancy success but also the health of your baby.

Yes fertility is in decline because of the modern world we are living in…

BUT what if we flipped the narrative?

What if this difficult period you are going through isn’t just a setback… it’s actually an invitation for growth and reflection.

We have become so out of touch with what our body truly needs.

When I work with clients, this process actually invites you to slow down, to reconnect with yourself, and to find out what your body truly needs.

What if your body isn’t failing you, but just trying to guide you?

Preparing you - emotionally, physically & spiritually for the child you’re meant to welcome.
