Just in case you are being told that your TSH test is more than enough for fertility testing…

It is time healthcare providers start to accept that Patients want to be treated as Allies working towards a common health goal, not just being told what to do!

The role of the Reproductive Microbiome on reproductive health and miscarriage risk is something we simply can no longer ignore…
Upwards of 19% of Patients trying to conceive were estimated to have an imbalance in their Reproductive Microbiome in one study. Make sure you are speaking with a licensed healthcare provider in detail regarding this if you haven’t already, and if you have questions, please reach out to us 📥

A reminder that healthcare is meant to prioritize Patient wellbeing (physical and emotional). Access to communication channels with your healthcare provider aren’t just valuable, but essential🧸

Our Beloved Haru laid down her head for one last time to rest and made her peaceful journey back home to the One Light. I am thankful she was able to return home with dignity after living a privileged life abundant with Love every day for over a decade.
May the sweetness and softness of our beloved fur babies inspire us all to live a life filled with kindness above all else. 🙏🏽 Please give your little ones a little tighter squeeze for us today ♥️♥️♥️

Correlation does not equal causation. But there is still something very interesting going on with these results from a retrospective cohort study 📚

Researchers believe that the role of Microplastics (plastic fragments < 5 mm) can negatively affect microcirculation or negatively affect hormone function as they have been associated with an increased risk of s***m-factor infertility

PSA if you don’t have access to power ⚡️ at home and you need to sterilize baby’s bottles:
-Sterilizing bottles is an added step recommended for babies under 3 months of age as their immune system is still developing
-CDC has the following procedure recommended to sanitize baby bottles 🍼 if you don’t have access to boiling water or bottle steamers:
1. Prepare a bleach solution of 2 teaspoons of unscented bleach per gallon (16 cups) of water in a clean wash basin.
2. Put all items completely underwater. Make sure the solution touches all parts and there are no air bubbles in the bottles.
3. Squeeze solution through ni**le holes and soak items in solution for at least 2 minutes.
4. Remove with clean hands or tongs. Do not rinse because germs could get back onto the sanitized items. Any remaining bleach will break down quickly as it dries and will not hurt your baby. This process is similar to what is done to sanitize dishes in restaurants.
5. After sanitizing, place items on a clean, unused dish towel or paper towel in an area protected from dirt and dust. Allow to air-dry thoroughly before storing. Do not use a dish towel to rub or pat items dry because doing so may transfer germs to the items.

More research on how the microbiome in the urogentical tract and in seminal fluid can impact s***m health parameters was recently published in the American Journal of Reproductive Immunology 📚

Evaluating for infections and dysbiosis of the urogenital tract (and discovering its cause) are an essential part of supporting healthy fertility!
