Linda, a determined and resilient woman was facing a journey to parenthood that was anything but smooth. Linda's story began with a series of medical tests like many who don’t get pregnant easily or quickly – hormone testing, pelvic ultrasounds, genetic testing, and tons of bloodwork. According to her doctors, the results weren't in her favor. Linda's world was shaken when the doctors mentioned the possibility of in vitro fertilization (IVF) due to her low Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) and high Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels.
Undeterred, Linda embarked on a journey of telehealth visits with a Napro doctor. She tried medications like Clomid and Letrozole, but no longer felt well in her body. Tragedy struck when she experienced a traumatic pregnancy loss at 20 weeks, a heartbreaking ordeal that left her in emotional turmoil.
But Linda was not one to be defeated. She carried on, facing health challenges along the way, including high cholesterol, irritable bowel syndrome, and suspected thyroid issues. Her support system was limited, and anxiety often clouded her days. She struggled to find her purpose in life.
The medical assessments revealed a myriad of imbalances within Linda's body. There was a gut imbalance causing her discomfort with symptoms like IBS, gas, and sporadic loose stools. Hormone imbalances plagued her, with high FSH, low AMH, low progesterone, and the lingering memory of her miscarriage. Linda battled immune imbalances, experiencing cold sores that added to her woes. Circadian imbalances disrupted her sleep patterns, and structural imbalances manifested as neck pain and joint discomfort.
Linda's journey was further complicated by thyroid imbalances, revealed through her high cholesterol levels. She struggled with adrenal imbalances, too fatigued to exercise. The weight of emotional imbalances from childhood abuse and trauma took its toll, leading to moments of depression, anxiety, and even thoughts of suicide during her postpartum period. Her sensitivity to smells added another layer of complexity to her detox system.
