I admit, I didn't think much about my fertility when I was a teenager except to be annoyed once a month...but like many girls, I envisioned my life as a mom and fully expected it to happen with ease. In our world today, plenty of women don't get to live that dream and suffer through heart-wrenching infertility. Fertility expert Dr. Aumatma joins us today to talk about why we *should* be talking to our teens about their fertility and how a "fertility lifestyle" really begins with the habits we form even for our little kids. This interview is fascinating and will help every mama out there get a different perspective on healthy eating and raising kids. We cover:* Why infertility is so much higher than it used to be* Why teens should care about their fertility* How fertility and cycle knowledge can empower teens (and adult women!) to live their best lives and even avoid PMS outbursts* Some interventions to try if cramps and other menstrual-related issues are "ruining your life!" that's teenager speak, of course ;) * What mamas can do to stop feeling exhausted and ditch the sugar cravings (and no, don't worry, the advice isn't just "get more sleep")* The most important habit to set for your kids starting at birth (which will ultimately impact their fertility but also a lot of their health choices in the future)Resources we Mention for Healthy Fertility:* Dr. Aumatma's book: Fertility Secrets: https://amzn.to/3kFwVcj* Dr. Aumatma's clinic: www.holisticfertilitycenter.com* Follow her on social media: www.instagram.com/holistic_fertility_doctor, https://www.facebook.com/DrAumatmaNd* My recommended air filter: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/airdoctor* Removing toxins from your home environment: https://kidscookrealfood.com/reducing-toxins-in-the-home/* Stress mastery for busy moms: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/ebooks-at-kitchen-stewardship/stress-mastery-course/* Begin mastering your stress and make stress your BFF: https://kidscookrealfood.com/stress-mastery-1/ https://kidscookrealfood.com/stress-mastery-2/* There's tons of info on balancing hormones in the series starting here: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/stop-pms-diet/* Who needs to eliminate dairy? https://kidscookrealfood.com/eliminate-dairy/* Solutions for heavy periods: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/heavy-periods-natural-root-cause-solutions/* The Adrenal Reset Diet: https://amzn.to/384e2dK* Balance your adrenals with food: https://www.kitchenstewardship.com/support-adrenals-womens-health/* More interviews on sleep: * How sleep makes you a better or worse parent: https://kidscookrealfood.com/sleep-like-a-boss/ * Healthy sleep for the whole family: https://kidscookrealfood.com/healthy-sleep/ * Sleep coaching with no crying alone: https://kidscookrealfood.com/healthy-sleep-habits-for-kids/As an Amazon affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Visit the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse and see how we teach children confidence in the kitchen: https://kidscookrealfood.comFind all the Kids Cook Real Food Healthy Parenting Connector videos at https://youtu.be/GVRq0m-Ehe4
