I also have a speciality as a FABNE - which is a fancy acknowledgement that deems me an expert on hormones in a holistic way. For a majority of my time in practice, I have focused on fertility, and over the years have helped the birth of thousands of healthy babies. My best-selling book "Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You about Baby-Making" reveals a lot of my research and real-life experience beyond what's commonly taught to us as medical professionals-- and shares the major reasons why I am so passionate about educating women. I believe that ALL women should have access to knowledge about our bodies and what I have come to title 'womb-wisdom' which is the source of our creative energy - babies or other creations! Over the years, I have learned that one of my gifts is to take lots of pieces of information and convert it into a distilled take-away that someone can put to use instantly! So, I have stepped into the educational space of training the next generation for fertility specialists that approach fertility from a holistic perspective. Also, running a multi-6-figure business based on my female superpower (my menstrual cycle) is knowledge that I teach, train, and coach on for female entrepreneurs who want to up level their businesses without the grind-- and the burnout. I feel like the 'womb-wisdom' I referred to earlier is a core source of creation energy that we have access to as women. So, while most female entrepreneurs learn to grind like men (yep, I have been there too!) I think it's time that we access our own superpowers!Website: https://holisticfertilityinstitute.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/holisticfertilitydoctor/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aumatma/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/HolisticFertilityExpertEgg Meets Sperm Podcast: https://www.holisticfertilityinstitute.com/podcastBook: https://amzn.to/4lQRZvu  Connect with Heather Allmendinger!Freebies: https://linktr.ee/vivydusWebsite: https://vivydus.com/podcast/FB Group: https://facebook.com/groups/611487486871608/FB Personal: https://www.facebook.com/heather.m.allmendingerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivydus/Website: https://vivydus.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hmallmendinger/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@VivydusPolkaDot Powerhouse: https://www.polkadotpowerhouse.com/referral?atid=10634Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/3Dpf8nwAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
