Memorable Quotes

“Our ovaries are developed when our grandmothers are pregnant with our mothers. And because basically 100% of our mitochondria is passed on from our mother, what we need to understand is the history and the health and the well-being, not just of our mother, but of our grandmother, especially during pregnancy.”

“I encourage you to make your fertility journey your healing journey, because your healing journey should be all about regaining trust in your body, regaining confidence in your body, really learning and understanding how it works.”

“Taking progesterone is not going to fix that. And so we have to start looking at a bigger picture. So then we can, number one, truly heal ourselves, but number two, stop passing generational disease onto the next generation.”

“When I see, for example, a lot of my unexplained infertility cases, they have insane levels of environmental toxins, and usually they’re anxious, they have digestive issues, whether it’s constipation or loose stools or nausea.”
