How to Prepare Your Body for Pregnancy & Boost Fertility Naturally with Dr. Ann Shippy, Functional Medicine Expert

from The Dream Bigger Podcast

On today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ann Shippy, Functional Medicine Expert, to talk about how to prepare your body for pregnancy and boost fertility naturally in today’s increasingly toxic world. We dive into the critical preconception window, how both partners’ health impacts fertility, and the role of inflammation, nutrient density, and environmental toxins in reproductive health. Dr. Shippy shares her approach to supporting hormone balance through diet and lifestyle, why sperm quality and metabolic health matter more than ever, and the key supplements she recommends for conception, pregnancy, and postpartum. We also discuss how to support a healthy pregnancy - from building a strong microbiome and optimizing blood sugar to preparing your body for delivery and recovery. If you’re thinking about getting pregnant or simply want to optimize your long-term health, this episode is for you.
