In the first edition of Regan's 3-part series, the
focus is on many of the underlying causes of infertility. Regan
also deep dives into some of the nationwide and worldwide
statistics, the potential costs of conventional treatment, and some
sage advice on what to consider in both nutritional and lifestyle
aspects of trying to conceive.
Key Takeaways:
[00:20] In India, a 70-year-old woman recently
conceived and gave birth.
[00:47] After one year of unsuccessfully trying to
conceive it may be time to consider setting up a consultation.
[01:02] Some of the conventional treatments include
surgery or prescribing medication. However, there are many natural
therapies that have helped couples conceive.
[01:45] Worldwide, fertility rates are dropping,
including the United States of America.
[03:20] Fertility is affecting as many as 1 in 3
women. The chance of having a baby after age 50 is nearly 0%.
[04:55] Are the foods we eat a cause of the decline
in fertility in Americans? Could Monsanto's GMO product be part of
the problem?
[06:34] What are some of the conventional ways we
treat infertility today?
[07:33] The popular hormone Clomid, anecdotally,
seems to have significant effects on a woman's mood and
behavior.
[08:39] Regan provides an overview of nationwide
price averages for a variety of traditional treatments.
[10:30] Ideally, we would look at a more holistic
approach to ensure the health of the mother during the process of
in vitro fertilization.
[12:50] Always try and conceive naturally, rather
than let your body get beat up by drugs and hormones. Patients have
been known to suffer medical issues for many years after I.V.F.
[16:07] What are some of the issues that can cause
infertility in the first place? Regan covers a wide range of likely
causes in order to find balanced solutions.
[18:45] Treatment generally takes as many as 3
menstrual cycles, depending largely on the amount of stress a
patient is under.
[19:46] The way and direction sperms swim has an
impact on their effectiveness. Factors contributing to low sperm
count include laptops, cell phones and their electromagnetic
fields.
[23:00] Couples need to have intercourse every day to
increase the likelihood of conception.
[24:15] Low levels of glutathione can deplete body's
ability to detoxify and low levels of vitamin D and Coq10 can
decrease progesterone production, leading to polycystic ovarian
syndrome.
[25:10] Don't even think about getting pregnant until
you detoxify your body for the sake of your baby.
