Description
I’ll never forget talking to a friend after she suffered a miscarriage. It was her third.
She and her husband struggled to get pregnant for years and suffered through hormone treatments, surgeries and much more.
They finally conceived and then lost their little one. Then another, and another.
She was at her breaking point. Her marriage was at a breaking point and she felt like her body was betraying her.
Her struggle was part of what led to my focus on reproductive nutrition. It didn’t make sense to me that women’s bodies should need hormones and artificial treatments to conceive.
Fertility is a sign of health, and as I discovered, infertility is usually a sign of a deeper problem that needs to be addressed. Often, artificial hormones can make things worse. Thankfully, my friend did go on to have a beautiful baby (and two more after that), but I was forever affected by her pain while she was struggling with infertility.
Today’s guest, Alisa Vitti, has been through the same struggle of hormone trouble and infertility and she also found natural solutions and managed to conceive naturally (she is set to welcome her little on in the next month!).
I was so excited to talk to Alisa because she has helped thousands of women restore hormone balance and beat infertility by teaching them how to naturally support their own bodies. In this podcast, Alisa and I talk in depth about:
The causes of infertility and how to overcome it
PCOS and natural remedies that can help
PMS and menstrual related problems
Endometriosis
Fibroids
Many other aspects of hormone health
Alisa has also written a book, The Woman Code, about achieving hormone balance naturally, and she blogs at FLOliving.com about all things hormones. She is offering three great hormone related freebies for Wellness Mama listeners and you can get them here.

1: How to Reset Your Health: In this inaugural episode of The Wellness Mama Podcast: Simple Answers for Healthier Families, I discuss my personal journey and my reason for starting this blog and the podcast. I also talk about what is next for the podcast and topics I’ll be covering in the future, especially my core topics on how to “RESET” your health: Why A Podcast? When my oldest son was just six weeks old, I was reading a magazine in the doctor’s office at my follow-up appointment and I read a line that hit me like a ton of bricks: “For the first time in two centuries, the current generation of children in America may have shorter life expectancies than their parents.” The article continued to talk about the coming rise in cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease and other problems. I looked down at my tiny, perfect infant and every cell in my body rebelled against the idea that he would have to suffer these problems. I decided that a 50:50 chance of diabetes wasn’t good by The Wellness Mama Podcast
