Unexplained Infertility? Let's look at Heavy Metals, Hormones & Tummy Fat

A message from MassAttack - This is an unsponsored post and is a copy of MassAttack's latest e-newsletter that comes directly to my inbox. The information contained in this post is intended as an information reference. If you are experiencing unexplained infertility, perhaps this presents something new for your consideration. 

For your own copy of the e-news or to find out more about what they offer, why not check out their website?

Female hormones are influenced by heavy metals and this is an area that is so readily overlooked when dealing with unexplained infertility.  Heavy metals also have an influence on your weight.  In fact, if you want to attain your ideal weight and improve your health in the process you need to start with detoxification.

Everything in our bodies is interrelated so you really can't change something without changing something else. Let's consider one example of such interrelationship:

Heavy metal intoxication and tummy fat. How are they related?
Studies show the connection between certain chemical substances accumulated in the body and underactive thyroid function leading to weight gain. For example, mercury and copper toxicity can result in hypothyroidism and hence the weight gain. Heavy metals also interact with each other, for example the presence of lead can make the detrimental effects of mercury much stronger.

Heavy metal toxicity also results in different digestive tract disturbances such as bloating, constipation or diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and others. Heavy metals accumulated in the body can cause the liver damage and since the fat regulation is among the important functions of the liver, it will be impaired too.

Don't think that heavy metal exposure is a problem only for people who directly work with them
All of us are widely exposed to heavy metals in our daily lives. Cosmetics, deodorants, dental amalgams, newsprint, paint, birth control pills, aluminum foil, antiseptics, body powders, cheese, toothpaste, milk products, nasal sprays - all of them are sources of heavy metals. As you can see, nobody is immune to them.

The heavy metal intoxication levels in your body may need to be addressed before you can solve your hormone imbalances and weight-related problems. 

We now offer a full 24 hour comprehensive urine heavy metal test, and if this is something you would like to chat about, please call 1300 133 536. 

Remember, you need to fine-tune your health if you want to attain and maintain your ideal weight.

Bump Fertility

This is a sponsored post.


I'm not in the habit of sponsored posts - you know that. But when Naturopath and Founder of MassAttack and Bump Fertility took me up on my request to be sponsored for the Aussie Bloggers' Conference, I was delighted. See, if you know anything at all about me, it's that 1. I seek the alternative to doctors/western medicine first, and 2. This philosophy made pursuing IVF (in 2005) rather a challenge to my belief systems.

Added to this, I bristle at so-called "Get Pregnant Quick!" type ad's I see on my side bar in Facebook and the likes. As if it's as straightforward as handing your money over. Preposterous! Most people who have had issues when trying to conceive know that even if you try everything, sometimes it just doesn't work.... But it doesn't stop them from being as healthy as they can be and doing all in their means to improve their fertility to increase the chance of a healthy pregnancy happening.

That's why I find Bump Fertility, in particular, a very good fit for what I talk about on my blog. Over the next little while, you are going to see regular sponsored posts from me - via Bump - because their information is heartening, interesting and helpful. What's more, the team really does care.

If you are - or you know of - someone who is keen to maintain fertility health, which may or may not also include a regime to improve your current weight (whether that is to gain or lose), then Bump just may benefit you.

Without further ado, I give you the kick-off - an extract from a recent Bump Fertility e-newsletter I received into my Inbox that sets the tone of this unique program.

How to Achieve the Goals you Imagine…
by Narelle Stegehuis

I love this story because its essence is about staying positive and having faith… 

An old Cherokee shaman taught his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, faith." 

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked the grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" 

The old Cherokee simply replied "The one you feed."

Remember: all that is good will come back to assist every aspect of the "inner universe" that is you. 

Knock - and it shall be opened unto you
  

Seek - and you shall find
 

Ask - and you shall receive

Three steps to action - Knock, Seek and Ask. 

Perform the first positive action yourself and watch the positive effects come into your life. Consider not just sitting passively by and saying "this is my lot". Instead, consider taking forward positive action. 

Knock, seek and ask. 

It's up to you to put the law of receiving into action and to take the steps required to enhance your fertility and create the family of your dreams. Move in the direction of your goals, create your future. We never exactly know what our actions today will mean for tomorrow, but the more committed and aligned we are with our goals, the more our dreams tend to come true. 

I sincerely wish this for all of you so keep faith in your heart and open all the right doors so your future can find you. 

With Love and Support,
Narelle Stegehuis

A Mass Attack of excitement

It is with great pleasure and huge excitement that I announce.....

I have a sponsor for the Aussie Bloggers Conference next month!

I couldn't be happier to have Mass Attack on board to help me get there.

Mass Attack's founder is a sentimental favourite of mine. In fact, Naturopath Narelle Stegehuis was my very first client way back when I quit my job to have Ella in 2003. Needless to say, Narelle was instrumental in keeping me afloat (emotionally and in a foundling business venture sense) that first year - she cheered for us on the sidelines when I managed to keep that pregnancy and I was actually under her care in the early weeks, and then was devastated for us when our NICU journey came to its abrupt end in 2004. We remained in contact in a business sense until the birth of the LGBB in 2006.

In the intervening years, Narelle's business has expanded beyond my small at-home business capacity. But I am very excited to say that there will be regular articles here with interesting facts and tips from Narelle and her team of dedicated naturopaths. I'm so proud to share them with you, dear reader(s)!
