19 March Weekly Call

LIVE QUESTIONS ANSWERED:

  • Lauren I have purchased the Thorne products as based in uk. However when they arrived they have a warning for the enteromend and medi clear plus that say they could cause birth defects. Should I really be taking these if trying to conceive? Also the medi clear plus looks like it has added vitamins so do I not take the other supplements at the same time?
  • Isabelle Are their any special acupressure points that can stimulate the female libido?
  • Carey Could you talk a little bit about the properties of Moxa / mugwort which make it different from just applying heat? What kinds of effects can we imagine it will have?
  • Rachelle 1) Can you take the Nuan Gong Yun Zi Pian (FertiAssist) herbal supplement while on the Ultra GI Replenish and Clear Change 10-Day Detox or do I need to STOP taking those along with my prenatal, vitamin D and probiotics? 2) Can the FertiAssist be taken instead of Vitex and Femmenessence MacaHarmony or is it safe to take 2 or all 3 of them together?
  • Camille I have brown spotting for 2-3 days before my cycle starts and I only have two full days of normal bleeding after that with a normal flow – and then a little bit of spotting afterwards for 1-2 days. I’ve always had spotting but it used to be a day with 3-4 days of normal flow. For an unknown reason it changed a few months ago with more spotting and less regular bleeding (as described above) . I’ve been diligently doing the acupressure for three months, changed my diet and taking supplements but no change so far. During my last ultrasound a couple of months ago my gynecologist told me I seem to have low progesterone because she could barely see my uterine lining. Could this be related to the brown spotting? And what (else) can I do to improve both the spotting and the low progesterone?
  • Erika Is a 32 day cycle not good to try to conceive naturally or do IVF? I have been using the FAM Program for 2 months. I typically ovulate around Day 16-19. Does this indicate poor egg quality? If tracking ovulation using basal temperature, when is ovulation? When temperature dips or rises?
