Does fertility coaching actually help you get pregnant? If you’re like me, you want to see the evidence. There is a lot of talk out there about how “fertility mindset” can help you conceive. But is their actual research to back that up?
You may be wondering if it’s a bunch of woo-woo hocus-pocus or if there is actual science to back up the claims. If you’re curious about this approach because something in you thinks it could help, but you’re also skeptical because it’s outside the scope of typical medical protocol, then this episode will assuage your concerns.

I’m bringing out the research from medical journals and explaining how findings suggest that women who participate in mind/body programs can be up to twice as likely to conceive as women who don’t.
That’s a pretty exciting fact! Join me today as we break all this down. And, after you listen o the show, check out the citations down below.
