There are many things that can impact your ability to become
pregnant. In today’s episode, I’m reviewing the top 10 things to
consider if you are TTC.
1. Environmental Toxins. Avoid microwaving food and plastic
containers or bottles. Always store food and glass or stainless
steel containers. Million Marker offers a test to find out if you
have in-body toxicity.
2. Chemicals in food and everyday products. Verify that the
products you are using are chemical free. You can do that
on

3. Being sedentary. The CDC and American College of OBGYN,
both recommend exercise in amounts of 150 minutes per week. Avoid
over exercising, as low BMI can also cause fertility issues.
4. Food allergies or intolerances. Work with a nutritionist to
find out if you have a food allergy or other food intolerance. You
may also want to consider working with a specialist if you have
PCOS or using Pollie.co to help you manage PCOS if you have
it.
5. Blocked Fallopian Tubes. Check with your doctor to find out
if this is what may be causing you to have a hard time TTC.
6. THC and Cannabinoids can affect the motility of the
fallopian tube and the receptors in the lining of the uterus. This
makes embryo implantation harder and it might not happen as quickly
as you would want.
7. Nicotine. Nicotine can affect the DNA and the egg in the
sperm cells, and it can also affect a woman's fertility such that
she could go potentially into menopause earlier.
8. Blaming birth control pills. Many people think that birth
control pills "cause" infertility, but the truth is that because
they regulate your period they may be masking the indicators of
infertility. Make sure you get your hormone levels checked with
your doctor every year to confirm your levels.
9. Ignoring biology. Every woman is born with a finite number
of eggs, and if you want to wait to have kids until later in life,
be sure and freeze your eggs when you are in your 20s.
10. Not getting enough sleep.
