Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy
Eating for Your Cycle, Gut Health & Fertility with Nora DeBora
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if understanding your menstrual cycle could completely change the way you prepare for pregnancy and transform how you feel in your body every single month?
I sat down with Nora DeBora, functional fertility coach, holistic nutritionist, fertility awareness practitioner, and host of the Ultimate Pregnancy Prep Podcast, to talk about everything from eating for your cycle and seed cycling to gut health, hormone testing, and the fertility information most conventional providers are simply not sharing with their patients.
Whether you are trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or just want to understand your hormones better, this conversation is one I know you are going to come back to again and again.
I honestly took mental notes the entire time we were recording this one...and wrote some down when I got to listen again! 😉 Nora has this incredible way of making really complex information feel totally doable and accessible, and she is so passionate about helping women become truly body literate so they can advocate for themselves, support their fertility, and feel their best no matter where they are in their journey.
I just know you are going to love her as much as I do. Grab a notebook for this one, you are going to want it!
Here are some highlights from the episode:
- What your menstrual cycle is actually telling you about your health and how to read the signs
- The four phases of the cycle, what your hormones are doing in each one, and what symptoms are normal versus red flags
- How to eat for the follicular and luteal phases to support your estrogen, progesterone, and egg health
- Seed cycling. What it is, how to do it, and why Nora says it is one of the simplest places to start
- The three tests Nora runs first with every fertility client, and what they find that conventional medicine misses
- The gut health and hormone connection that could be the missing piece for so many women
- What biofilm is and why antibiotics alone often cannot clear a chronic infection like recurring UTIs or BV
- Four practical things every woman can do right now if she is thinking about getting pregnant
- Safe doses of CoQ10 and NAC and why Nora takes them herself even when she is not trying to conceive
