Ep 110. Are you thinking about starting a family or having another child but don't know how to prepare your body? Do you want to maximize the healthy "epigenetics" you pass on to your child? Or maybe you're currently struggling with infertility and need extra support? Elizabeth Wade is a naturopathic doctor who takes an empathetic, highly-individualized, root-cause approach to reproductive health. She offers a refreshing perspective on infertility (why it's not the end of the story and how "subfertility" can be supported) and provides insights on labs, supplements, and more.
