#350 A Sustainable Life & Natural Fertility with Aleks Evanguelidi

#350 A Sustainable Life & Natural Fertility with Aleks Evanguelidi

Old friend and midwife, Aleks Evanguelidi joins us to share her wisdom about healing our bodies naturally and restoring our innate bodily systems.

As we swapped tales of unexpected birth work requests and the impact of dietary choices, Alex's holistic approach shines a light on the path to wellness. Her insights, grounded in her dual expertise, offers a refreshing perspective that stands in beautiful contrast to more traditional medical views on fertility and pregnancy health.

We need to realign our priorities from the food and water we ingest to the habits we have formed to the craziness that surrounds us. Fertility isn't just a clinical concept—it's a tapestry woven from our lifestyles, from the sunlight we bathe in to the stress we release through laughter.

Blyss & Dr. Stu also share some thoughts and frustrations with record keeping, both vital and medical.

Key highlights:

  • Nutrition and Fertility
  • Diet and Health Awareness in America
  • Focusing on Preconception Health and Wellness
  • Vaccines, Gut Health, and Autism
  • Hashimoto's and Functional Medicine
  • Trust Body's Fever Response, Avoid Overheating
  • Challenges in Women's Health Care
