The Vagina Coach – How Your Pelvic Floor May Be Key To Unlocking Your Fertility Potential

The Vagina Coach – How Your Pelvic Floor May Be Key To Unlocking Your Fertility Potential


A great podcast that may hold a key to unlocking your fertility potential. First off, all I can say is that I learned a lot from this interview, so much so that I will be referring all my fertility patients to a pelvic floor physical/physio therapist from here forward! Kim is great, and has a lot of knowledge and passion for helping women have better experiences with sex, orgasm, fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods in their life.

Katie’s fertility story


I have the pleasure of being here today with Katie. We go quite far back together, we worked together when she was trying to do everything she could to accomplish her dream, a family. She’s been kind enough to share her story, she’s quite an advocate for anyone needing any support in any way that has the same goal and is at a point in their life where they’re struggling. Welcome, Katie.

Fertility App, The Importance of Being Good at Change, & The End of PMS


(37:56) Let me tell you a little about this lady – she is a force, a freight train moving forward toward her vision, and she is kicking major ass! She is inspirational in the arena of ‘getting shit done’, and pulling her weight in moving TCM into the future.  At the end of this interview you will be asking yourself ‘How can I leave my mark on the TCM industry, and help more patients in the process?’.  The products she has created may even end up being a revolutionary change in your own practice. This podcast is a must not miss.

Boosting Testosterone & Sexual Function

Testosterone is a male sex hormone responsible for optimal sperm production and plays a central role in overall health and vitality in men.

Low testosterone is associated with decreased fertility, low libido, erectile dysfunction, depression, low energy, inflammation, weight gain, and poor general health. Low levels of testosterone also increase chances of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, as well as some cancers.

Testosterone is measured by calculating total testosterone, then subtracting the amount which is bound (unusable) by SBGH (sex hormone binding globulin) to arrive at how much free (usable) testosterone is present.

What you need to know about chemical exposure & fertility

The following videos and information were compiled by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). The ASRM is a non-profit organization that sets standards, ethics, and guidelines for the field of reproductive medicine and fertility doctors in the United States.

Compelling scientific evidence in recent decades has established strong links between chemical exposures and endocrine diseases, as well as causing issues with reproduction and pregnancy.

In 2019, the Endocrine Society’s Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC’s) Advisory Group gathered a Task Force to develop resources that would help endocrinologists and fertility specialists answer questions about EDCs and facilitate evidence-based discussions with their patients.
