    130: Reversing Perimenopause: Update On Case Study
    2024/11/12

    I had to share some of the wins from my perimenopausal patient - this is part of the case study. So if you didn’t catch the first one, check out episode 115. For the last 6 months, we have been working HARD to turn the ovaries back on - get the FSH down to a more reasonable level (so she can qualify for PRP) and essentially get her cycle back. This case is truly inspiring and I want to make sure I capture the details of what we are doing in hopes that it will help you reverse perimenopause symptoms and bring a baby into this world. We still have a long way to go, but seeing the progress in the last 2 months has been incredibly rewarding. Tune in to learn more.

    Memorable Quotes"What we're doing is we're introducing some progesterone and we're going to try to see if we can get the cycle to just slowly come back. But the biggest thing for us right now to tackle is blood sugar and inflammation.""If you truly feel this deep urge, deep connection inside of you that, like, “I want to make a baby, I know I can do this”, then that’s the start. Next is just having the right network of people to support you.""If you are open to saying, “I will let this soul that's not even here yet change me and shape me to allow it to come into my life before it even comes in, I'm just going to allow it to do that”, that is where the change and shift begins."Connect With Dr. Jane Levesque

    129: Sperm Analysis Collection - Common Mistakes
    2024/11/05

    It’s hard enough to get a sperm sample - let’s face it, it’s an uncomfortable test and who wants to have to retest because the first sample collection was done wrong. As a natural fertility expert, I often see sperm samples that are done correctly and therefore uninterpretable. Tune into this episode to find out how to do a sperm sample correctly to get an insight into your partner’s fertility.

So in nine days, every single one of those samples will be different.""When I see the abnormal heads, I'm thinking DNA fragmentation, I'm thinking oxidative stress. And when we're talking about oxidative stress, we're thinking the amount of damage that's going on in the body is not being caught up by the repair for, aka, antioxidants. And so diet, lifestyle, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, exercise, too little or too much smoking, drinking, lack of sleep, all of these things are going to be impacted."Connect With Dr. Jane Levesque

    2024/10/15

    In this episode of the Natural Fertility Podcast, Dr. Jane Levesque, a naturopathic doctor and natural fertility expert, dives into the complexities of fertility and the role of supplements like CoQ10. In this episode, Dr. Levesque explores the importance of understanding inflammation, or "inflammaging," and its impact on egg quality. She emphasizes the significance of choosing the right form of CoQ10, specifically ubiquinol, and discusses dosage, absorption, and the influence of gut health. Dr. Levesque shares personal insights and practical advice for those navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or women's health issues. Tune in for expert interviews, case studies, and tips to optimize fertility naturally.

    Memorable Quotes"We need to understand why that egg quality is poor. And usually there is inflammation that is at stake here; the term is known as inflammaging. If you have inflammation in the body, which I promise you, all of us does, even if we're carrying an extra two kilos or so, five to ten pounds, that's inflammation. If we have brain fog, if we have skin issues, if we are tired and our energy is all over the place, our hormones are all over the place, that's inflammation.""It's not enough just to take the CoQ10 and to take the right form. We need to understand the supplement company, how it's actually produced and how it's protected.""I never prescribe just one supplement to you guys because let's face it, there's never just one problem."Connect With Dr. Jane Levesque

    125: Mike Feldstein - Air Quality Part 2
    2024/10/08

    In this episode of the Natural Fertility Podcast with Dr. Jane, I sat down with Mike Feldstein, an air quality expert and the founder of Jaspr, for part 2 of a very compelling conversation on air quality. This time we discussed frequently asked questions from my listeners on how to improve air quality in your homes and your work environments. I love Mike and what he has built. I have 5 Jaspr in my home and the air quality difference is palpable. I love connecting with like minded people who have their own health/fertility journey. And because Mike is so generous, from October 8th to October 15th, 2024 my code DRJANE will give you an extra 20% off your Jaspr purchases (yes that will stack on top of the discounts you get when you purchase multiple units). This is a great time to become a Jaspr owner and take your air quality to the next level.

    123: What Labs You Need To Run To Get To The Root Cause Of Your Fertility Struggles
    2024/09/24

    As a clinician I am dedicated to staying on top of the latest research. Over the past 3 months I have had the pleasure of learning from Dr. Leah Hetchman - a globally respected naturopathic clinician specializing in fertility, pregnancy and comprehensive reproductive health. Today, I want to share some things that I have learned from her around lab testing. Believe it or not, you need to do more testing. If it’s unexplained infertility, you need to test. If you’re stuck, you need to test. If you feel like something is missing, you need to test. So in this episode I share the lab testing that you should be doing to get to the root cause of your fertility struggles and create a personalized treatment plan based on your findings.
