Dr. McCulloch has been your best guest by far and that’s saying a lot because you have had some amazing guests. I love how thurough she was. So often, I am disappointed when I listen to or read about autoimmunity and infertility. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE have her back on to discuss how to improve egg quality! PLEASE!! Thank you!!
Hi Molly, so glad you enjoyed the show! Great suggestion for a follow-up episode!
Really interesting talk! She really had a sweet and understanding demeanor about how hard this journey is trying to conceive –and so many doctors I have come across lack that.
What I learned that was most helpful for me was to get a prenatal with methalfolate in case I have the common mutation. I will be doing that today!
I wish I could go to a naturopathic doctor in my area, but there aren’t any I can find. So I have to go to a regular RE. I hope it will be a positive experience anyways.
Thanks!
