How To Optimize Sleep To Improve Your Fertility

How To Optimize Sleep To Improve Your Fertility

Justine Altman joins us today as we're digging into why sleep matters if you are TTC.

It's day #2 of our fertility series. Be sure to check out yesterday's episode on diet so that you know which diet is right for you.

We work with our clients for months on sleep.

It is the cornerstone of good health and crucial to optimize fertility.

If your sleep is poor this is a HUGE clue to dig deeper.

So if your sleep is not optimal it's time to prioritize sleep so that you can balance your hormones and restore your fertility.

Justine is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception.

If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success.

Justine is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She was diagnosed with POCS and struggled with infertility but after taking a functional approach was able to have both her children naturally.

In this episode you'll learn:

1) Why sleep matters for fertility. When is the best time to go to bed?

2) What to do if you or your partner snores.

3) Steps to take tonight to prepare for a good sleep.

4) We discuss supplements such as melatonin and if they are helpful or harmful.

5) What it could mean if you can't fall asleep at night.
