Download or read book The Fertility Doctor s Guide to Overcoming Infertility written by Mark P. Trolice and published by Harvard Common Press. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Give yourself the best-possible odds for getting pregnant and having a baby with this concise, expert, and encouraging companion as your guide! In the only general guide to infertility written by a medical doctor who specializes in the subject, Mark Trolice, MD—who is board-certified in both OB/GYN and REI (Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility)—shares the practical knowledge he has gained from working in infertility medicine for years, with many hundreds of patients, alongwith the warmth and wisdom he has acquired from getting to know prospective parents from all kind of backgrounds. The journey from infertility to fertility, from childlessness to a brand-new baby, can be long and arduous. It involves complicated medical diagnoses, a wide range of treatment options, a host of potential lifestyle changes, lots of emotional ups and downs, and—even with the best medical insurance—challenging financial decisions. Your doctors cannot decide everything for you, and that is why an authoritative and comprehensive book, written in clear and understandable language for the layperson, is essential. This is that book. The book opens with an exploration of all the possible causes of infertility, covering both couples who have never been pregnant and ones who have had recurrent losses of pregnancies. Unique among infertility guides, this volume gives roughly equal weight to male and female causes, which is important because about 40% of infertility cases are due to men's issues—and some couples need to address issues in both the prospective mother and prospective father. It covers endometriosis, fibroids, POS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), tubal factor, male factor, and other possible causes. Next it looks at your treatment options. Importantly, these are not just medical interventions, but they also include lifestyle changes you alone can make, involving sleep, diet, exercise, and other forms of self-care. Among medical options, IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), and various surgical procedures are covered in detail. Some couples are lucky to have a short journey to fertility. For others, the process takes years. With a gentle and sure hand, and non-judgmentally, Dr. Trolice guides you through the many decisions you need to make along the way, such as whether or not to continue treatments, whether to change practitioners or treatments, and whether it is a good idea to continue to spend money on procedures not covered by your insurance. He understands that these are emotionally weighty decisions that involve the future of your family, and he provides ample grounds for optimism and hope, empowering you as you take this journey.

Download or read book The Fertile Feast written by Robert Kiltz and published by Waterside Productions. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a career spanning more than two decades of helping people conceive over 20,000 babies, Dr. Robert Kiltz learned that for most people, the most important thing in this universe is creating life. Yet, all too often he witnessed the sad truth that Western medicine doesn't work on its own. The failure of Western medicine drove Dr. Kiltz to integrate approaches to health and wellbeing that treat the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, eventually leading him to a radical discovery that revolutionized his practice: The foundation of our health and wellbeing, and therefore our fertility, is actually the food we eat. Since learning the simple, yet radical truth that our bodies and brains are designed to run most optimally on high-quality animal fats, and that we don't need any carbohydrates whatsoever, Dr. Kiltz has successfully recommended his version of the ketogenic diet to countless patients who had previously been unable to conceive even with the combined aid of Western and alternative medicines. He has witnessed the power of keto to bring new life into this world, and experienced it transform his own life and the lives of his patients, friends, and colleagues. Taking inspiration from these experiences, Dr. Kiltz created Fertile Feast as an essential guide to cultivating the life force unleashed by keto. Weaving keto with principles of mindful living, Fertile Feast presents keto as the root mantra of wellbeing. "There are people who refer to keto as a diet, but to me, keto is a way of life. Fertile Feast is about much more than just what you put into your mouth. It's also about what you put into your mind, how you treat your body, how you feel about yourself, and how you challenge yourself to be kind, creative, and to connect with others in deep, joyous, and meaningful ways. I became a doctor for one reason, and that's to help people. Fertile Feast is my guide for awakening the hidden powers of body and spirit, leading to emotional and physical healing, and a fertile life of inspiration, clarity, and joy." -Dr. Robert Kiltz About the Author Dr. Robert Kiltz is Founder and Director of CNY Fertility, ranked among the top ten fertility centers in the nation, with over 300 employees, and chapters in six locations including New York state, Atlanta, and Montreal. Dr. Kiltz revolutionized the Fertility industry by providing full-service Healing Arts Centers where patients receive massage, acupuncture, and yoga instruction. This patient-centered approach extends to Dr. Kiltz's commitment to democratizing access to fertility treatments by making CNY the nation's most affordable fertility clinics. Each week thousands of viewers participate in Dr. Kiltz's Fertile Fireside Chats, broadcast live on Facebook, where he answers questions about fertility in real time, and shares his recommendations for a ketogenic lifestyle.
