16 ways to thicken your thin uterine lining. We see this a lot in the clinic over the years, women that have either taken Clomid and it's made their uterine lining thinner, whether they're in the middle of an IVF or a frozen embryo transfer and their uterine lining, isn't measuring up to what the clinic wants it to be, or they've had maybe DNCs in the past that have caused, you know, maybe some scarring and difficulty with the building of the uterine lining, or just simply may be what's going on, dehydration, the person's constitution, whatever it might be.

We've we've had a lot of success with a lot of these different techniques and treatments and, and ideas to, to help thick and a uterine lining.

For anyone facing challenges trying to conceive it doesn’t take long to understand the basic biology behind the mechanism of how stress can negatively impact fertility. In summary, the physiology of any animal in distress results in the same end: the valuable resources intended to nourish and strengthen the reproductive system are allocated to vital organs for survival (heart, lungs, brain, muscles), leaving fertility function deficient. This impacts egg quality, ovulation, and uterine receptivity.

Then starts the search for ideas, tips and tricks, techniques and lifestyle choices, treatments and therapies that may deliver on the promise of reducing stress, therefore improving fertility. This inevitably leads all people to the vast blossoming world of holistic medicine and healing, a necessary component not only to a successful fertility journey, but a life of health, well-being, and limitless potential, fully realized.

Today, we focus on what I believe to be one of the most important elements in any persons lifetime if they want to achieve their dreams, whatever they are; meditation.

If you are one of the many who may be saying to themselves; “I’ve tried meditating, it was hard” or “it didn’t work for me” or “I don’t have time” then today is your lucky day! By the end of this article you will see meditation in a new light, easy to integrate into your life, easy to do, and a knowing that it is something you just cannot live without, especially if you are faced with a challenge such as infertility.

Blast from the past - podcast Interview with Kim Vopni - The Vagina Coach. A great podcast that may hold a key to unlocking your fertility potential.

First off, all I can say is that I learned a lot from this interview, so much so that I will be referring all my fertility patients to a pelvic floor physical/physio therapist from here forward! Kim is great, and has a lot of knowledge and passion for helping women have better experiences with sex, orgasm, fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods in their life. ~ Spence

Eat meat (B12) & leafy greens (folate/B9) for better erections, hunting (or not) for health, and basic strength training...

TIP 1 - Be a Caveman
A recent study showed that men who are deficient in vitamin B12 and B9 (folate) have an increased incidence of erectile problems. B12 almost exclusively comes from meat, and folate is primarily obtained from leafy greens. Eating a vegetarian diet, malabsorption, genetic issues, alcoholism, and shift work all can cause deficiencies in B12 and B9. So for improved sexual function; stop drinking, eat some well sourced happy meat and leafy greens, fix digestive issues, and if possible stop shift work.

TIP 2 - A challenge
Nothing is better for us, from a wholistic perspective, then spending time outside with mother nature. In recent times I have taken up hunting. One of the most positive results from this new endeavour is the time I spend connecting to nature, complete silence, walking slowly, sitting, watching and learning about my environment and myself, for hours or full days at a time. My challenge to you is to take a FULL day, just for yourself (no need for a bow or gun), to get out deep into nature, and just be there, stay there, get cold - connect. I guarantee you will feel renewed and strong for days afterward.

TIP 3 - Pull-ups & dead-hang
Can you do a chin-up / pull-up? 10? More? I mean from straight arm hang to your chin over the bar without swinging your legs ('kipping') - real Navy Seal style! For how many seconds can you just simply hang from a bar (dead-hang)? Grip strength is a major indicator of aging - imagine one day having trouble holding onto a can of food while you take it out of the cupboard. If you are not already doing so, make pull-ups and dead-hang exercises a part of your life. Start small but don't stop, these are feats we are supposed to be able to do until we are quite old.

Today we're going to talk about #depression and it's effective treatment with a traditional Chinese herbal formula called XIAO YAO SAN.

Depression is something that if you have any propensity to, in, in your life and in years suffering or struggling with infertility difficulty getting pregnant, then depression and to some degree is, is a likelihood that you may experience.

So this it, it, the importance clinically is, is profound. We treat this all the time and we use this herbal formula often often with, with a fantastic effect.

So I wanted to share this meta analysis just to help you gain some comfort. I know traditional Chinese herbal medicine is, is something that's quite foreign to someone that was, you know not raised in China.

TIP 1 - Gratitude
I know I have spoken to this before and I inevitably will again as I feel the practice of being grateful is unmatched in the search for tools that will provide a better life, and Thanksgiving is literally a time when we are to do just that, be grateful. We have a daily practice in our family where we share 3 things we are grateful for, and then we send a prayer or blessing to someone we feel could use some extra love and support. No matter what you are going through in life there is plenty to be grateful for, I guarantee it.

TIP 2 - Tryptophan
Sleepy time after a turkey dinner is a part of Thanksgiving! This is due, in part to both overeating, and the amino acid L-Tryptophan that is in the meat of the bird. Tryptophan is a building block for the production of serotonin (happy), melatonin (sleep), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or NAD, which is integral to energy production and the protection of our cellular DNA, which is why the production of NAD is at the forefront of both the anti-aging and infertility communities. I love turkey dinners, might just be what I would want if I was forced to choose a 'last meal'! :)

TIP 3 - Connection
I believe that the most important part of thanksgiving is the emphasis on connection to loved ones, and time spent together, sharing in gratitude and the abundance we posses which most of us take for granted. My son Ari was born on Thanksgiving so it is VERY easy for me to be grateful at this time of year. Take time to connect with family (both chosen and blood), send them love & let them know that you are thankful that they are in your life. You get what you give, so if you want more love and connection in your life all you have to do is give it.

Try these tips and hacks if you are experiencing erectile dysfunction, especially when you are trying to get pregnant. This is very common - sex on a schedule just is not conducive to optimal male sexual function. After erectile dysfunction happens once the anxiety of being able to perform usually becomes the cause - psychosomatic. This means that getting your confidence back is key, and therefore so if having a supportive partner.
