This week, Tee is delighted to welcome Monica Cox for a conversation about fertility. Monica is a holistic functional fertility coach and the founder of Finding Fertility, a Coaching platform and podcast dedicated to helping women discover the root causes of “unexplained” infertility.

Monica’s professional work is rooted in her personal nine-year struggle with infertility. Despite being told by doctors she could not conceive naturally, she eventually became a mother to two boys—one through IVF and one naturally.

Together, Tee and Monica discuss the importance of reducing environmental toxins, managing Stress, and improving gut Health to boost fertility naturally. Monica shares her struggles with unexplained infertility, her transition to a toxin-free Lifestyle using a paleo Diet, Yoga, and functional medicine, and how she ultimately succeeded in having children.

The conversation emphasizes the significance of avoiding endocrine disruptors, detoxing before conception, and the impact of a clean lifestyle on future generations’ health. The discussion also touches on the benefits of holistic living beyond fertility, offering practical tips for minimizing toxins in daily life.
