In episode #127, Lauren shares her personal journey with infertility as well as her expertise as a certified nutrition coach. After about a year-and-a-half of struggling with infertility, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and told she would need fertility treatments in order to get pregnant. While waiting to start her treatments, Lauren began to research how dietary changes could help heal PCOS symptoms and improve fertility. With nothing to lose, she began to make changes and became pregnant with her daughter. She couldn't believe that nobody had discussed this option with her, and she set out to become certified as a nutrition coach specializing in women's hormonal health and fertility. She has now worked with women experiencing a range of hormonal issues including PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, recurrent miscarriage, unexplained infertility, genetic conditions and more to help them heal their bodies naturally through diet and lifestyle changes in order to get pregnant.
