Hey beautiful soul, I see you. I see the longing in your eyes, the hope in your heart, and the weight of your dreams to start a family. The journey to motherhood is a sacred path, filled with twists, turns, and unexpected detours. But guess what? You are not alone in this. You do not need to handle all of this emotional burden on your own! Let me be your guiding light, your unwavering support, and your fierce advocate as you embark on your fertility journey.

Did you know that it's becoming increasingly common to require outside help from specialists to start a family? Recent fertility rates show a decline over the years, leaving many couples seeking answers and support. It's okay to feel overwhelmed by the prospect of navigating this complex journey. That's where I come in, your trusted San Diego North County Doula, ready to hold your hand and walk this path with you.

Let's talk about six nonmedical tips to help guide and support your fertility journey:

6 Non-Medical Tips to Guide and Support Your Fertility Journey

1. Switch Household Products/Self-Care Products to Non-Toxic: Start by downloading the EWG Healthy Living app to check the toxicity levels of your household and self-care products. Creating a non-toxic environment can support your overall health and fertility.

2. Focus on Nutrition: Your body is a sacred vessel, capable of nurturing new life within. Embrace a healthy diet rich in whole foods, and don't forget to take your prenatal vitamins.

Opt for a prenatal with methyl-folate instead of folic acid, especially if you have a common gene mutation called "MHTFR mutation." Jordan Dewhurst FNP-C informs us, "Women with a common gene mutation called “MHTFR mutation” aren’t able to metabolize the form of folic acid put in most prenatal vitamins and folic acid that is found in the foods we eat. Without this essential nutrient being able to reach a developing baby, it puts them at higher risk for birth defects and miscarriage. Taking a prenatal with a form of folate called “methyl-folate” ensures that women with this gene mutation can give their baby adequate amounts of the folate nutrient- essential for spinal and brain development”.

3. Destress: High cortisol levels can negatively impact hormonal health and fertility. Incorporate holistic practices like meditation, yoga, or journaling to reduce stress and cultivate inner peace! Check out this blog on how to navigate the Emotional Rollercoaster of Infertility.

4. Acupuncture: Consider adding acupuncture to your fertility toolkit! This ancient practice can help balance your body's energy flow and support reproductive health.

5. Online Resources: Dive into online resources and communities that are dedicated to guide and support your fertility journey. Surround yourself with knowledge, encouragement, and like-minded individuals who understand your journey. Here are a couple to start with, 

• Resolve ( Allows you to find support groups by state)
