Intriguing talk but no real insights were provided to help infertile couples not living in Australia. Apart from the diet book of course but that book is the most expensive one I have ever come across! 539 Canadian dollars and no preview available on Amazon! WOW! That is some blind faith investment….Or is there a misplaced decimal point somewhere??
Thanks for the feedback Sarah. Sometimes Amazon has strange pricing. It’s something I’ve seen before. My suggestion would be to email her directly from her website, and one of her staff members may be able to connect you with the book at the appropriate price!
Thanks Lisa. I noticed also afterwards that Gabriela is offering a FREE 14-day course to people starting September 12th I think. Anyone interested simply has to register on her site.
Plus I was incorrect when I said that her knowledge was only available to Australians. She seems to offer Skype consultations also… could still be expensive but I guess most infertility treatments are.
I was luckily able to conceive myself at the age of 41, with the help of charting, shatavari, myoinositol and 600mg of Ubiquinol daily. All of these supplements were self prescribed after much personal research I must confess, so I suppose Gabriela wouldn’t approve.
But fortunately it seems to have worked for me – so far anyway – I’m 32 weeks pregnant now and because of all the charting I know exactly when the child was conceived too!! 🙂 )
Since my pregnancy became known, a few others have been asking how I finally managed to conceive at my age, hence the interest in Gabriela’s work- since I really only know what seemed to fit for me!
I think there really is a decimal point out of place on Amazon because the diet book is about ten times cheaper on Gabriela’s own site! Maybe you can let her know Lisa, abut the error on Amazon?
