Ep 32: What Might Be Missing in Your Fertility Care

Ep 32: What Might Be Missing in Your Fertility Care

Author: Natalee Facey October 16, 2021 Duration: 1:29:11
I share a lot about the limitations of our conventional healthcare model. And so, what an absolute pleasure it was to sit and chat with Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Monique Mazza, and learn more about what our care should actually entail. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What Naturopathic Medicine is and how it's different from Allopathic Medicine (or what I refer to as the "conventional medicine" in the episode)
  • What might be happening in the body that could lead to infertility or loss
  • What testing you should ensure you're having done to get to the root cause of those imbalances
  • And more!



Dr Mazza's Bio: Dr. Mazza is a licensed Naturopathic physician with over 15 years of clinical experience. She began her medical career as an emergency medical technician for a volunteer fire department in New York.

In addition to her education as a naturopathic primary care physician, Dr. Mazza has additional certifications in intravenous nutrient therapy, German biological medicine and biodynamic farming.

Her current passion surrounds growing food as medicine at her home in Earthaven Ecovillage.

Navigating the path toward another pregnancy after a loss or trauma is a deeply personal and often isolating experience. Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss offers a compassionate space for this unique journey, hosted by Natalee Facey. As a mother to two angel babies herself, as well as a Resilience Coach and Birth Doula, Natalee brings both professional insight and profound personal understanding to each conversation. This podcast gently addresses the complex layers-emotional, physical, and mental-that accompany family planning after experiences like infertility, traumatic birth, or infant loss. Episodes weave together practical guidance on health and fitness with essential discussions on inner healing and emotional resilience. You’ll hear honest dialogues, strategies for rebuilding hope, and reflections on transforming grief into a source of strength. It’s more than just an educational resource; it’s about finding a supportive voice that acknowledges the fear and courage that coexist when considering pregnancy again. Through this podcast, Natalee aims to foster a sense of community and grounded preparation, helping you reconnect with your own body and spirit on your own terms.
