This episode kicks off with some big news that’s extremely close to my heart: I'm getting ready to start making Baby #2 a reality!As soon as Nick and I made the decision that we were ready for another baby, our first port of call was Dr Stephen Cabral, my most trusted health adviser and mentor. His sage advice and comprehensive testing were instrumental in helping us get pregnant last time, so it was a no-brainer to call on his expertise again as we embark on this journey for a second time.The first thing Stephen did was recommend 5 specific lab tests to evaluate my body's readiness for conception.And in this extremely insightful (and deeply personal) episode, he’s going through the results of my labs live on the show.Listen in as we walk you through each of the tests – explaining why they're so important, how to optimize your results, and, of course, revealing the findings from my own labs (and how the results have shifted since I last did these tests).We also dive into the protocols and health hacks that can give your biomarkers a boost, fire up your fertility, and have you primed and ready for conception and a healthy pregnancy.I was so nervous to press record and then publish on this episode, but I’m so glad I did. This is a truly fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of our bodies, and how they prepare for something as miraculous as creating a new life. So whether you're planning on a baby soon, hoping for one in the future, or just interested in understanding your body better, this is an eye-opening episode that you don't want to miss.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/516 for the show notes.Join my newsletter: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.
