Fertility is a topic really close to my heart. Before I had my first child, my immune system was really weak and I suffered from a hundred different allergies. I thought to myself, I need to get healthier, not only for me but for my future baby. I decided I needed a drastic change and went on a serious detox for 2 months. While detoxing, I was strict with my healthy diet as well as taking my supplements. Let me tell you I was so disgustingly uncomfortable and tired for the first 2 weeks, as the crap inside me made it’s way out. After that, I felt incredible! I had so much more energy, I hardly got sick after that and my allergies were nowhere to be seen. So I decided to stick to the detox till at least 2 months because I felt so good. As my husband and I were deciding to start trying for our first baby, I discovered I was already pregnant! Just like that!
3 years later, I thought since it was so easy for me the 1st time round, it would be a breeze the 2nd time too! I was so wrong. Month after month of disappointment, I had started to have self doubts and stress. I was in my early 30’s the 2nd time and had been living an unhealthy lifestyle since having my firstborn because I always put her needs before mine. My husband and I weren’t as healthy as we used to be pre-baby. I wanted my kids to be close in age and time was ticking away. I realised that we needed to put more effort into our health if we wanted to conceive again. My last detox was 3 years ago, so I decided that my husband and I needed to detox together to give ourselves the best chance we could to conceive again. And then……… Voila! I was pregnant again! I was so glad I was able to have another baby : )
Some couples seem to conceive so easily while others have a long hard struggle with infertility. Maybe you and your partner have been trying for a while and are having a hard time conceiving. This can build up stress for the whole family and doubts begin to take hold of your thoughts. You may wonder if there is something wrong with you or your partner. Then these negative thoughts go on and on and on…
There can be many factors to why infertility is on the rise. One main reason is having unhealthy lifestyles, which can be a direct result of infertility in both men and women. Our bodies are strong and capable of healing but we need to give ourselves the right tools to assist our body’s natural healing power.
POSSIBLE FACTORS FOR INFERTILITY (BOTH MEN AND WOMEN)
- Zinc deficiency

FERTILITY PROTOCOLS
- Increase your intake of Zinc by eating a diet of green leafy vegetables, nuts and fish

- Grapefruit Oil- Drink 10-15 drops per day under the tongue or in your glass of water throughout the day to help cleanse the body.
- Detox and cleanse your body of toxins and yeast (fungus) on the 30 day program. Day 1: Kick start your detox by feeding your cells and brain (Nutrition & Supplements). It’s important that we replenish the brain and body with good fats, vitamins and minerals from food to help cells function optimally. The DoTERRA Lifelong Vitality Supplements provide the world’s highest quality supplements. I have never taken supplements of this caliber. This is something I can’t go without!
Take 1-2 capsules of Terrazyme with every meal. Terrazyme is a blend of whole-food enzymes that help break down food to help you absorb nutrients that converts to cellular energy. It supports healthy digestion and metabolism of enzyme-deficient, processed foods. It also helps with bloating.
Optional: Zendocrine Softgel (oil blend) and/or Zendocrine Supplements (whole-food enzymes)- Take 1 dose in the morning and evening for organ cleansing of the liver, colon, lungs, kidneys and skin.
- Day 11: GX Assist- Take 1-2 softgels 1-2 times a day for 10 days to start detoxing. A proprietary blend of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils and caprylic acid that provides a natural cleanse for a healthy digestive system. This cleans your gut!
- Day 21-30: PB Assist- Take 1-2 softgels 1-2 times a day for 10 days to promote colonization of friendly digestive flora. The time-release, double-capsule delivery system is designed to help protect the sensitive probiotic cultures from stomach acid. PB Assist+ offers a unique, safe, and effective way to deliver the well-recognized digestive and immune system support benefits of probiotics.
This pack is called ‘Cleanse & Restore’
This is the 30 Day Cleanse chart:
Be mindful that your body is cleansing and is on its journey of healing, so it may take a few months at least to repair (for you and your partner). So continue with this program until you fall pregnant. Then you can discontinue using the GX Assist gut cleanser and Zendocrine. The Lifelong Vitality supplements are beneficial and healing for you and baby. Terrazyme will continue to help you break down food and absorb nutrients especially when it becomes more difficult during pregnancy. PB Assist will ensure your stomach lining is full of good bacteria to boost your immune system. Phytoestrogen capsules and Clarycalm daily helps keep your hormones balanced while your body adjusts with your unborn baby.
- Sleep well and relax- If you are not sleeping, you are not repairing your brain and body. Over time, your body will suffer numerous health issues.
There are several essential oils I like to use to help with sleep:
- Serenity the restful blend oil and Serenity Softgel. Diffuse oil and take softgels internally.
- Balance to quiet mind chatter. Rub on forehead, back of neck, ears and big toes.
- Vetiver oil for grounding. Rub on the bottom of big toes.
- Juniper Berry oil to help you stay asleep throughout the night.
