The Confidential with Simone Gisondi
Education
In this episode, Vanessa shares her personal journey of trying to conceive and her experience with the fertility treatment world. She opens up about the emotional challenges she faced, including a pregnancy loss and a diagnosis of premature ovarian insufficiency. Despite the setbacks, Vanessa took control of her fertility journey by seeking support from a naturopathic doctor and a counselor specializing in fertility. She made significant changes to her diet and lifestyle, focusing on improving the quality of her eggs. Vanessa's story is a testament to resilience and the power of taking proactive steps towards achieving one's dreams of becoming a parent.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Seeking support and empathy during difficult times can make a significant difference in one's journey. The kind gesture of the ultrasound technician, who reassured Vanessa during a vulnerable moment, provided comfort and hope.
Fertility journeys can be emotionally challenging, and it is important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of the experience. Vanessa sought the help of a counselor and a naturopathic doctor to support her emotional well-being and explore holistic approaches to fertility.
Taking ownership of one's health and making proactive changes can have a positive impact. Vanessa made significant changes to her diet, eliminating gluten, dairy, alcohol, and red meat, and focusing on organic, nutrient-rich foods. She also paid attention to environmental factors, such as reducing exposure to plastics.
Understanding and addressing emotional trauma can be an important part of the fertility journey. Vanessa worked with an emotional healing practitioner to uncover and release buried emotions related to the loss of her mother and the desire to become a mother herself.
BEST MOMENTS
"I just remember looking at the technician who was doing the ultrasound for me, and she was such a sweet lady. And she could see above my mask, my eyes starting to well up."
"I hate to tell you this, but the prognosis is bad... You have premature ovarian insufficiency, about a 2% chance of conceiving naturally."
"I completely changed my diet... I cut out gluten, I cut out dairy, no alcohol, no caffeine... I focused on organic, healthy fruits and vegetables, like fresh, nothing preserved."
"I learned that although you cannot increase the number of eggs, you can improve the quality of the eggs you have... What can I do to try to improve the quality of them as much as possible?"
