Show Notes
I sat down with Susan Portz, who is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and IVF sister. Susan is passionate about helping women navigate their fertility journey with compassion & without guilt or unnecessary diet restrictions. Susan is incredibly open and vulnerable about her journey with infertility and I think this will be so helpful for other women going through it, or for those looking to support loved ones on a fertility journey.
What we cover:
- Susan’s personal fertility journey and what she has learned along the way
- A look into the process of IVF as well as the cost
- Things to consider throughout your fertility journey - things to check for, specialists to see, etc.
- How and why to advocate for yourself
- The mental & emotional toll of a fertility journey
- How to navigate the IVF process with your partner
- How she and her husband have coped differently & together
- How to support loved ones going through IVF/fertility treatments
