Autoimmune Disease & Fertility with Aimee Raupp, L.Ac. – #7

The FertilityHour

Today we have Best Selling Author of Yes You Can Get Pregnant with her latest book Body Belief. In the last 15 years of treating women’s health and fertility, Aimee Raupp begin to see a commonality between many of her patients. They would come to her with chronic (often mysterious) health complaints and unexplained infertility. Conventional Medicine often were not able to pinpoint any causative factors for a pervasive feeling of unwell (as well as a myriad of symptoms) amongst this group and not able to tell them why they could not conceive or sustain a pregnancy. With her extensive knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine Aimee was able to start connecting some very crucial dots. She found that many women were living with an undiagnosed autoimmune disease. She found that 1 in 9 women have an undiagnosed autoimmune condition and that up to 40% of unexplained infertility is in result of autoimmune disease. In this interview Aimee will discuss her unique perspective on why the body starts attacking itself and address the spiritual and emotional aspects that are often the missing components of true healing. This is not just a book about lifestyle & supplement recommendations instead this is a guide to reconnect with ourselves and challenge the harmful beliefs that are blocking us from our own innate wellness.
