Today I had the pleasure of connecting with Victoria Myers, a registered dietitian who specializes in helping women recover their periods and support natural conception.
We talked about the importance of building a healthy relationship with food and exercise, learning to nourish your body, not punish it, so your fertility can restore. She also shared some powerful mindset shifts around nutrition that can help you approach your journey with more ease and trust.
