Why Testing Genetics Provides A Targeted Plan To Improve Pregnancy Success

Why Testing Genetics Provides A Targeted Plan To Improve Pregnancy Success

Dr. Piper Gibson joins us today as we're digging into how testing genetics can improve the chances of pregnancy success.

As the saying goes, "genetics load the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger". Unlike our genetic makeup, we do have some measure of control of what we bring into our lives. Such as what we eat, how much we sleep, when we move, our exposure to environmental toxins, mental-emotional stress, and more.

Our Fab Fertile Method emphasizes individualized science-based testing. No more guessing. Which fast tracks pregnancy success with your own eggs.

One of the tests we have access to and is included in the program is a genetics test. Many of you may have had genetic testing with your physician. This genetic testing is different and provides us with specific gene variants in both a female and male panel.

This information is then used to personalize targeted nutrition and lifestyle plan that pinpoints specific areas that conventional medicine may have missed so that you can get pregnant naturally.

Today on the podcast I'm excited to welcome Dr. Piper Gibson, Doctor of Advanced Holistic Nutrition and is a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine.

She is the Corporate Clinical Educator at GX Sciences.

In this episode you'll learn:

1) Why reviewing your genetics can identify specific diet and lifestyle factors that stop wasted time (i.e. what are you predisposed to and how do you minimize your risk)

2) Why the tests from ancestry or 23andme may not give you the simple actionable steps that are needed to fast-track pregnancy success.

3) Why genetics testing can help with adherence (i.e. if you know you have a propensity for insulin resistance or thyroid imbalance for example - how do you prevent disease/illness – which ultimately improves fertility

This can feel stressful but is designed to help us get to the root cause of your fertility issues and will help me to give you the best possible action plan at the end of the call.

However, to reassure you – on this call we won't be digging into the trauma associated with infertility/miscarriage/loss – rather we are focused on solutions and an ACTION PLAN as to how our Fab Fertile Method can help you get pregnant naturally.
