Welcome to Ready-2-Conceive podcast devoted to Fertility.

BIG NEWS! A new podcast episode is out. And it is a really special one. To be honest, I love each of my guests and would love to see more of wonderful experts on my podcast. But it conversation is truly special.

I'm Inna Duckworth, Fertility Naturopath, MSc. This is the Episode 2 of Season 2 with my guest Jaclyn Downs.

There are many fertility books for clients, but not so many for practitioners and clients. Jaclyn wrote one and just published in April 2023. I love this combination – practitioners and clients. The book is a roadmap we, the experts, and the clients can read together to be on the same page.

Please welcome amazing Jaclyn Downs.

Jaclyn Downs, MS, CHC, CD, is the author of the book Enhancing Fertility Through Functional Medicine: Using Nutrigenomics to Solve ‘Unexplained’ Infertility (Routledge/Taylor & Francis, 2023). Jaclyn is a Functional Nutrigenomics Practitioner that helps clients and practitioners move past puzzling roadblocks and individualize protocols through the use of genomic interpretation, functional lab testing, and a meticulous intake consultation.

In the episode we are covering the following topics:

- Why it is necessary to prepare for conception, with a very unusual angle, that is coming from Jaclyn’s book - Not getting pregnant might be a part of protective mechanism in ‘primally perceived dangerous situation‘.

- Role of inflammation in preconception health challenges.

- How would a normal person understand that they have potentially got inflammation.

- What can go wrong in preparation for fertility context if individual genomic profile is disregarded.
