How balanced is your life in relation to your fertility? We often have tunnel vision about our own health and put a lot of emphasis on one aspect of it and overlook the rest. Or become overwhelmed by everything we are reading and learning and don’t know where to start? What if there was a guide that took into consideration all the aspects of health and wellbeing that were important when trying to conceive and laid them out (for you) so you could assess your life and see what needs a little more attention? Dr. Marc Sklar created the Fertility Balance Wheel for just that purpose. We go around the wheel starting with digestion and touch upon all the wonderful areas of life that when balanced, creates wellness and optimizes fertility. It’s such an amazing process that both you and your partner will benefit immensely from.
