Week 1: You Are What You Eat

The best way to optimize fertility in preparation for pregnancy is to eat a nutrient dense fertility diet and live in a way that supports the ideal functioning of the reproductive system.

We’ve all heard the saying ‘You are what you eat!’ But what you DON’T eat is equally as important. What you choose to eat (and not eat) plays a huge role in supporting your fertility health. This week we:

Here we dig a little deeper and look at certain superfoods that enhance fertility and nourish your hormonal system.

This week we:

Week 3: Hormones 101

As society has come to rely more and more on medical authorities, we’ve become increasingly out of touch with our bodies and how they work. For many women, an aura of mystery now exists around one of the most natural of human functions: our monthly cycle and conception. This week we:

Week 4: Your Gut Health Affects EVERYTHING

A healthy gut is one of the first steps in preparing your body for pregnancy. Your gut houses 70% of your immune system, helps create 90% of your serotonin, and is your first line of defense against bacteria, toxins, and inflammation that can negatively affect your fertility health and the health of your future baby. This week we:

Week 5: Let's Talk About Stress, and How to De-Stress

Chronic stress has profound effects on your body, especially for women trying to get pregnant. And it becomes a catch-22... the longer you’re unable to get pregnant, the more stressed you become, and so the longer it takes to get pregnant, and …. it turns into a frightening negative feedback loop. Stress hormones inhibit the body from utilizing essential hormones for fertility (specifically progesterone), subsequently suppressing ovulation and disrupting the entire menstrual cycle. This week we:

Week 9: Mind-Body Therapies

Mind-body therapies are complementary and alternative therapies used to address the ways in which emotional, mental, social, spiritual, experiential, and behavioral factors can directly affect health.

Week 11: Conscious Conception – Addressing the Emotional and Lifestyle Blocks

The connection between how we are FEELING and how our body and its organ systems are FUNCTIONING is now well established in the medical literature.

This week we:

One-on-One Calls with Sarah

If you're looking for additional support, guidance or treatment recommendations on your specific fertility story, I'm offering one-on-one calls with me for members of The Fertility Code. 

During these calls, you can share recent lab results with me to look at and give you feedback on. We can deep dive into your current diet & lifestyle habits. I'll comb through your supplements, answer the questions you can't seem to find answers to – anything and everything you want.

Many women who have completed The Fertility Code course say these 1:1 calls with me are a game changer. They give you the opportunity to get in-depth knowledge and treatment recommendations directly from me about YOU and YOUR unique fertility story and situation.

I've been working with women and couples trying to get pregnant for more than 16 years and over 90% of the women who work with me get pregnant and have healthy babies! This could be you too.

For the majority of women who choose IVF, the per cycle success rate is 20-35%. That’s without The Fertility Code. IVF treatment takes a toll on your health and the more IVF cycles you go through, the less likely you are to become pregnant. I believe you need to take a highly proactive approach with your own fertility and conception journey. It’s not about overriding your doctor’s advice, it’s about complementing their guidance with your own set of fertility-friendly choices you can make at home every day. The Fertility Code can dramatically boost your chances of getting pregnant with IVF.

No, that’s an impossible guarantee to make. I can tell you about 90% of the women I work with do become pregnant and give birth to healthy babies. I’ve even had success with women who were told by doctors they had less than a 1% chance of conceiving. What I can promise you, though, is that you’re going to finally be using the correct foods, supplements, exercise, and even sleeping habits to resolve the underlying blocks to your fertility.

Yes, absolutely. The Fertility Code is for all women wanting to conceive, including women already working with assisted reproductive techniques like IVF, ICSI or IUI. By following The Fertility Code, you will boost the quality of your eggs, improve uterine health and function, optimize sperm health, and naturally balance hormones to improve retrieval and transfer success and conception rates.

Women best suited to benefit from The Fertility Code are those under the age of 45. Certainly the program will help optimize your health for conception, but usually women over 45 experience additional challenges that The Fertility Code does not address.

You have 90 days of access to the course. There are 12 modules total and you should easily be able to get through one module per week.
