Back to Basics: Cervical Mucus, Position and Tracking in General
Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Hosts Caitlin and Sophia go all the way back to the basics and do an episode on how to track your fertility by knowing how to interpret your cervical mucus and cervical position. Caitlin explains why you might want to do this and have this data handy when trying to conceive and Sophia explains exactly how to accurately track your cervical position, why it is important to do it throughout your cycle and how it can be a key indicator of ovulation approaching. Both Sophia and Caitlin believe once you start tracking your cervical mucus it is hard to stop because it becomes second nature.

Be Brave Stay Hopeful
Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. In this episode hosts Caitlin and Sophia talk about staying positive and not giving up when in the middle of infertility. They wanted to take a step back from their normal podcasting style and instead inspire listeners to be okay with working hard to become a mother. Both Caitlin and Sophia battled with infertility and know how difficult it is to be in the trenches. They want this episode to feel like a warm hug, or holding your best friend's hand during the hard times. They also chat about communication with your partner during the trying to conceive time and with yourself and with God. It's so easy to get lost in the trenches of listening to your doctor, OB or reproductive endocrinologist on what they say you should do to finally conceive.

FullWell Fertility: Raising the Bar on Fertility Testing
Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson speaks with Ayla Barmmer of FullWell. Ayla founded FullWell as an adjunct to her clinical practice at Boston Functional Nutrition because she wanted to make the evidence-based, effective, and high-quality supplement they created for their clients available to the rest of the world. After almost two decades working on thousands of complex fertility cases, she learned that no two are alike. In fact, fertility is arguably one of the most common yet perplexing health issues. The vast majority of people receive the most frustrating diagnosis of all: “unexplained infertility.” Popular medical interventions have notoriously poor success rates and often yield tremendous physical and emotional stress, not to mention the financial and relational impact. Ayla synthesized decades of findings, looking at the needs that have emerged from the most straightforward to the most complex cases. Her approach looks at the whole person, in the context of their environments, peeling back the layers until we grasp root issues. Over time, She has observed as many external and systemic causes of fertility issues as internal and specific concerns. For this reason, She believes in addressing the pursuit of fertility health as both an individual and collective need, carefully supporting a wide variety of inputs to build the optimal foundation for conception, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. This episode also speaks about FullWell coming out with fertility testing! A new test kit that will check your Vitamin D levels, TSH, AMH and more! Head to their website for more exciting details!
