Episode 6: Unraveling Fertility and Infertility: Navigating the Journey

In this episode of Wild Women Within, we dive deep into the complex and emotional topic of fertility and infertility. Join us as we explore various facets of this profound subject, from the impact of the pill and hormones to the grief cycle experienced by many on this journey. We'll examine the fertility industry and its implications in a pro-natalist society, questioning our worth as women amidst societal pressures.

 

Brenda shares her personal emotional decision and offers heartfelt advice for others facing similar challenges. We shed light on the fertility journey, discussing why it's often an arduous path for some individuals. We'll also unravel the role of endocrine imbalances from toxins and how they can affect fertility.

 

To gain deeper insights, we tap into Helena's expertise as an acupuncturist specialising in fertility-related concerns, discovering alternative approaches to address these issues. Helena shares her recommended book, "Not Broken: An Approachable Guide to Miscarriage and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss" by Lora Shahine MD, which serves as a valuable resource for those navigating this difficult terrain.
