Foundations of Fertility

Conscious conception begins with intentional preconception care. Foundations of Fertility takes the guess work out with an evidence-based, step-by-step approach to expand your fertility while setting the stage for both a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

Robust fertility starts here.

🌱 A 12-Week Transformational Journey 🌱

If you’ve landed here, you are most likely someone who wants to approach conceiving with intention— by engaging with your health and fertility to improve your chances of becoming pregnant, while also nourishing the foundations for a healthy baby. This life-changing journey is broken down into 12 weekly lessons (plus a TON of bonuses!), each focused on specific lifestyle factors that are crucial for enhancing egg and sperm quality, as well as preparing your body for pregnancy.

🌱 Why 12 Weeks? 🌱

1 in 6 couples face fertility challenges. In just 12 weeks you can improve your odds while also laying the groundwork for a healthier baby and a healthy pregnancy. Here’s how:

It takes about 12 weeks for an egg to undergo complete maturation before ovulation, and about 12 weeks for sperm to develop as well. About 90% of DNA editing happens during those 12 weeks, meaning anything we are exposed to can impact the quality of that egg and sperm — for better or for worse! This gives us the perfect window of opportunity to make powerful changes to optimize the health of egg and sperm, which are two of the most important factors that determine whether fertilization will occur, whether an embryo will develop, and whether a pregnancy will be sustained to full term. Egg and sperm quality can also predict future health outcomes for your child, so this investment in preconception care is a gift not only to yourself, but to your future child.

***While we do recommend breaking the course down into one week at a time, you will have full access upon enrollment and are invited to work at your own pace.

Why Choose This Course?

🌟 Holistic Approach: Foundations of Fertility was developed by Dr. Rachel Low, a naturopathic doctor and fertility expert. In this course she has distilled the strategies that she uses every day to help her patients conceive into an easy to follow, step-by-step approach that addresses the whole person at the root cause. Beyond sharing the tools for success, she breaks down the how and the why, so that you can feel confident in the work you are doing from a level of deeper understanding.

🌟 Ideal for Every Body: Whether you're just starting your fertility journey, considering egg freezing for future use, or pursuing IVF, this course is tailor-made for you. It is designed not just to be inclusive of heterosexual couples, but also for folks who are pursuing becoming a parent by themselves, as well as for folks who identify as LGBTQIA+.

***Foundations of Fertility is centered around female fertility, but includes lessons and supplement protocols to support male fertility as well. Male partners are encouraged to follow along and work to implement the same diet and lifestyle recommendations as you. Remember, 50% of fertility challenges are due to male factors, so it’s best to work together!

🌟 Sustainable Transformation: Change doesn’t happen overnight, and we know that the most impactful approach when it comes to fertility takes about 12 weeks. By offering weekly lessons, you can easily integrate these strategies into your life without feeling overwhelmed. What’s more, this approach is simple yet powerful and can be implemented on a budget.
