Week 3
Welcome to Module 1 Week 3 of the Fertile Ground Holistic Fertility Program
Module 1
Week 3
This week we will be focusing on Cleansing for Optimal Fertility using foods that are helpful for optimizing fertility.
Cleansing for Optimal Fertility
Doing a reset/cleanse is a pathway to release toxins and excess bloat from your tissues, reset your digestive system and renew your baseline of wellbeing and start to put your body into that optimal state for conception.
You will learn how food affects the way you feel, how to attune to your body's unique needs and activate your natural healing potential.
Doing this before you start trying to get pregnant is helpful. Starting the program with a clean slate will make a difference.
During the reset, we will help your body start to release these toxins and start to heal from within, so you can set yourself up for optimal health and baby-making.
We take toxins in from all around us. From the food we eat that has pesticides and herbicides on it, to the water we drink, the air we breathe to household chemicals we use. These toxins are everywhere. Our body wants to protect us from these toxins, so it builds fat cells to go around our organs to protect us. During this time, it sends signals to the brain to stop all processes. This includes making a baby.
If you can release these toxins, your body realizes it is safe and baby-making commences. Putting your body into the optimal state for conception and intentionally eating for fertility means so much more than just "eating healthy" or taking fertility drugs or supplements. It requires a complete commitment to your health which may require you to change you relationship to food and your body.

Quick Tips and Guides
Use these tips and guides to get started. Making changes is not easy. Start slowly - every change you make will make a difference. Start with the Clear Kitchen Clutter guide and make your way down the list.
Where are you on the hunger scale? Monitor yourself throughout the day. Too hungry? Make sure you are using the Magic Plate and eating enough at each meal. Famished? Try adding more protein to each meal and snack. Satisfied? Great! That's what we are aiming for! Uncomfortable? Is it just this meal or is this a common way you feel after meals? If so, try eliminating some foods at each meal-making sure you are including all the important parts of a healthy meal. Too full? Again, is this just this meal or frequently? If so, take some time to evaluate what is on your plate, why you are eating - bored, frustrated, what emotions are you feeling? See what you change.
