19. Recurring Pregnancy Loss: how to find hope when it feels like all hope is gone (with Dr. Briana Lutz)

Finding hope after having a miscarriage can feel like an impossible task. The grief, the shame, the worry that our body is broken - these are all emotions that I felt with every loss and I know so many others feel too. So this week I am chatting with Dr. Briana Lutz, ND to help us understand miscarriage more deeply and the steps we can take to begin our healing journey. As a Naturopathic Doctor she shares how looking at your whole health can help you find the right healing plan that will take you from feeling hopeless to hopeful on your journey into conception. As a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Briana Lutz provides family medicine with a special focus in women’s health, fertility and perinatal care. She is a women’s health advocate, understanding that women’s concerns are often palliated, dismissed, or ignored, compelling her to evolve the conversation and provide the highest level of care. She treats conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, and functional hormone issues resulting in PMS, heavy, painful periods, and acne. Dr. Lutz supports family planning options and contraception, as well as women in natural hormone transitions such as post-partum and menopause. By collaboratively creating a treatment strategy, Dr. Lutz introduces simple, incremental steps to provide lasting, sustainable change. In addition to lifestyle medicine and nutrition, she utilizes a variety of natural therapies unique to the individual, including nutrient IVs and injections, acupuncture, and as a registered herbalist (RH), has a particular affinity and expertise in the application of botanical medicine. In this eposide we explore: What is naturopathic medicine and how it’s goal is to heal the root cause of symptoms Why miscarriages are classified as normal and how she supports women to help prevent loss How your whole health from cardiovascular to immune to the brain can all effect your reproductive health How male factor needs to be explored more in depth when it comes to fertility issues and miscarriages.
