  • You’re worried about your age and the time it will take to fall pregnant.

  • You’ve been told everything is “normal” and to just keep trying.

  • You’ve stopped your contraception, but you’re still struggling to conceive.

    Or…

  • You want to be proactive when it comes to your fertility journey.

  • You’re at the beginning of your preconception journey & want to support both your own, & your partner’s fertility.

INTRODUCING…

Fertility Foundations

PRECONCEPTION PROGRAM

My step-by-step program that will teach you the fundamentals both you & your partner need, to support your preconception & fertility journey.

So, you can feel completely confident you’re taking the right steps to optimise your hormone balance, egg quality, sperm health, nutrition and lifestyle for a healthy pregnancy (without the constant overwhelm & uncertainty)!

Designed to:

  • Identify & address any deficiencies or imbalances prior to conception (through comprehensive testing), to maximise your chances of success when TTC.

    We go above and beyond your prenatal workup with your GP & analyse your test results with a fine-tooth-comb to ensure no stone is left unturned.

    Testing is based on your individual case, following your initial consult, but may include: your reproductive hormones, full thyroid panel (not just TSH!), iron studies (not just ferritin), B12, vitamin D, blood-glucose, inflammation markers (CRP), as well as microbiome testing and semen analysis.

  • Your body will ALWAYS prioritise stress over reproduction - meaning, we need to support your mental, emotional + physiological stress levels in your body in order to optimise your hormone balance, promote ovulation and your fertility.

    We do this through our ‘Cortisol Correction’ method - regulating your nervous system, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and adrenal function, so you feel better, sleep better, have sustained energy levels, AND no longer feel like you’re in ‘fight or flight’ mode.

  • We now have research supporting what we have long known about the gut & fertility - that a poor gut environment can be associated with poorer fertility outcomes.

    The gut microbiome, alongside the vaginal and endometrial microbiomes, play a crucial role in fertility, so much so that suboptimal levels of these organisms can link to miscarriage and pregnancy loss.

    Through our ‘Microbiome Repair’ method, we personalise your preconception plan to ensure we are supporting your unique microbiome to promote your fertility.

  • Yes hormone balance exists, but no, it is not simply achieved from taking one ‘hormone balancing’ supplement.

    We analyse your individual hormone health via testing, and support optimal hormone levels with a combination of nutrition, lifestyle & targeted supplement strategies.

  • Chronic inflammation commonly exists from factors such as: ongoing gut imbalance, autoimmunity, stress, blood-sugar dysregulation, poor diet, lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, or underlying conditions such as endometriosis or Hashimoto’s.

    Inflammation, oxidative stress and immune imbalance can absolutely disrupt your fertility and increase your risk of miscarriage - therefore, it is essential we manage and reduce your inflammation to promote your ability to conceive.

Plus …

  • We now know that the male contributes to 50% of all sub-fertility cases. For this reason, if you have a partner, it is essential he is included in our preconception program.

    We recommend he undertake a comprehensive semen analysis (including DNA fragmentation), as well as range of blood testing, at the beginning of your program, so we have all of the information upfront, to save time and best optimise his fertility.

How do we do this?

There are 4 key pillars of the

Fertility Foundations Preconception Program

  • Our first steps are establishing your baseline of health, via your VIP 1:1 consult & comprehensive testing (e.g., blood, microbiome, sperm) for you (& your partner).

    From here, we create your preconception plan, including your nutrition, lifestyle and individualised herbal medicine and/or nutritional supplement prescription, tailored to you (& your partner).

    We cover the fundamentals of fertility, what to expect when TTC, menstrual cycle health & correctly identifying your fertile window, to lay the foundations of health for your fertility journey.

  • Our second pillar is all about nourishing your fertility through whole food nutrition & mindful movement.

    We cover topics such as the pro-fertility diet, what to avoid when TTC, and exercise essentials for preconception support.

    We will get clear on the essential nutrients you need to support your hormone health and fertility & easy tips to know what to avoid (that may be having detrimental effects on your fertility!).

  • Our next pillar is about restoring balance into both you and your partner’s body, to optimise your chances of conception & support a healthy pregnancy.

    During this phase, we address gut health & the microbiome, which is essential for the health of your future baby. We also work to correct cortisol levels and adrenal function, to improve your stress resilience and reduce the burden on your hormones.

    We also work on energy, sleep and (of course) hormone balance, all to promote ovulation, sperm health & your fertility.

  • During our final pillar we cover the Fertility Awareness Method (in depth), to ensure you are absolutely confident with identifying ovulation, your fertile window and timing conception.

    We also cover environmental hormone disruptors & minimise your exposure to common sources impacting your fertility.

    Optimising sperm health & egg quality are our priorities throughout your entire program, and we use evidence-based supplements to enhance your individual health markers & chances of a healthy pregnancy.

    Towards the end of your program, we reassess your blood tests & consider your next steps moving forward (ideally ready for TTC!).

The Inclusions:

  • To allow us enough time to support your fertility & prepare you for a healthy pregnancy.

  • Start with your initial VIP consult, to analyse your test results, create your goals, tailored preconception plan and prescription, & follow-up throughout your program to review your updated blood tests and overall progress.

  • To access your preconception plan, specific video trainings, PDF handouts, DFY checklists & resources - so that you have all of the tools & support for your fertility journey.

  • Where you can ask Dannielle questions in-between your 1:1 consults (voice or text) - so that you don’t have to wait until your next consult for answers & can make progress faster.

  • Check-ins regularly during your program for accountability, advice & to make any adjustments to your preconception plan.

  • Comprehensive fertility testing at the beginning of your program allows us to plan your preconception program around your individual test results & truly optimise your fertility from the get-go.

    Recommended testing will be based on your unique needs - commonly we test sex hormones, thyroid, iron, B12, vitamin D, blood-sugars, cortisol, inflammation markers, as well as semen analysis & microbiome testing (if required).

    We then re-test your bloods towards the end of your program, to assess your treatment progress & determine your next steps (ideally ready for TTC!).

  • We want you to have access to the highest quality, practitioner-only supplements, that are clinically tested and evidence-based, to support your fertility.

    Tailored to you (and your partner), to supplement your preconception plan, and truly optimise you chances of conception & fertility. Prescribed for you & delivered to your door.

    That’s why this program is designed to support you (+ your partner) over a 4-month period.
