This week I'm joined by Sandra Greenbank. Sandra is a nutritional therapist, coach and functional medicine practitioner, specialising in fertility, prenatal and postpartum health.
Having worked in this field over the last ten years, as well as bringing up three little children, Sandra brings a wealth of both professional and personal experience to her client work. She runs a busy practice and consults 1-2-1 with clients all over the world via Zoom, as well as locally in Harpenden, Herts.
In this episode we discuss:
Common factors that affect both female and male fertility including, PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) and Thyroid disease in women and poor sperm quality and asymptomatic infections in men
Unexplained fertility and the benefits of taking a functional medicine approach to help dig a little deeper and identify a possible root cause(s). We also talk about the importance of combining nutritional therapy with conventional methods as a partnership.
Sandra is dedicated to empowering her clients to understand and take back their health. We talk about what we can do (both men and Women) to prepare our bodies with healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices and how these are foundational regardless of what path of treatment is chosen.
Sandra shares her 4 Pillars which she teaches in her online fertility course - Food, supplements Lifestyle and Self-care and how we can take steps now to make changes and improve these areas of our health.
Sandra talks about some of the functional testing options and some of the tools she regularly uses in her clinical practise to help support her clients to improve their fertility outcomes.
We also touch on supplements, stress, sleep, hormones, and the importance of supporting the mother as early as possible into her motherhood journey. We cover so much!
Sandra has been super generous in giving the listeners of this podcast a £40 discount (valid until the end of this year) for her 3-month online course - The easy to follow natural preconception course for couples wanting to conceive. Details shared in podcast. You can find the link below:
