#234 Trying for a Baby After 40? Here's What We'd Do First

Thinking about having a baby—especially in your late 30s or 40s? In this episode, we're sharing the exact conversations we've been having with our fertility patients over and over again... the kind that leave us wishing we had a megaphone! So we decided to turn that megaphone into a podcast episode.From tracking ovulation properly (hint: it's not just about Day 21 blood tests) to checking thyroid function, supporting progesterone, investigating gut health, assessing the vaginal microbiome, reducing inflammation, and—please don't forget this one—testing the male partner, we're covering the foundations that can make a real difference before conception.Whether you're 28, 38 or 43, these are the steps we'd want our closest friends and family to know before trying for a baby; and whether you're trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or simply want to understand how to give yourself the best possible chance of a healthy pregnancy, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-informed advice you can start acting on today.RESOURCESThe Baby Blueprint: sign up to get the free webinar here.FIND NAT BELOW:Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglasBook a Free Assessment Call - https://NatalieKDouglas.as.me/?appointmentType=50255874EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/PMS/PMDD Natural Solutons Masterclass https://nataliekdouglas.com/pms-pmdd-natural-solutions-masterclass/Restore and Nourish Gut Reset - https://nataliekdouglas.com/restore-nourish-gut-reset/Perimenopause Masterclass -https://nataliekdouglas.com/perimenopause-masterclass-holistic-toolkit/Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/FIND AMIE BELOW:Book a Free Assessment Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWOWebsite - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopathJoin the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a  PS: yes we are practitioners, but we’re not YOUR practitioners - it should go without saying but our episodes are not medical advice.
