If you are wanting to know:
-
Are digestive health issues like IBS a blessing or curse when trying to conceive (TTC) a happy healthy baby?
-
What are the best foods that help heal digestive disorders and boost fertility?
-
How does toxicity and stress negatively impact digestion which links to fertility problems?
-
What are the steps to improve fertility by healing the digestive system?
…Then you have come to the right place.
There is a link between digestive health and fertility issues so it comes as no surprise that by healing your digestive system you can improve your fertility.
Even science proves there is a correlation between a healthy digestive system and reduced anxiety/stress-related disorders: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28767318
Whether you have been diagnosed as having digestive system diseases or just feel discomfort after eating, there is a reason why
What are the physical, mental and emotional reasons behind digestive discomfort?
GI tract problems such as bloating, gastric reflux, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), SIBO and ulcers are impacting the lives of more and more women nowadays.
There are different reasons as to why your digestive system needs some TLC. To truly heal and restore vibrant health, you need to understand the mental, emotional and physical reasons for the imbalance.
Mental and emotional reasons gut health issues
According to Dr Northrup as well as a number of other authors including Dr Raphael Kellman, author of Gut Reactions: A Radical New 4-Step Program for Treating Chronic Stomach Distress and Unlocking the Secret to Total Body Wellness, the mental and emotional reason behind gut health issues is that you are prioritising other peoples needs and desires before yours. The same applies with fertility issues.
Prioritising other people before you and your needs is one of the biggest reasons why women have fertility issues and struggle to have their baby
The digestive system is called the ‘third emotional centre’ which ties into the emotions of self esteem, self-worth and body acceptance. When you heal this, and re-ignite your empowerment you will feel your ‘fire in the belly’ return.
Influenced by the words of Dr Northup and the teachings of Louise Hay (author of You Can Heal Your Life) I recommend you journal or at least connect in with yourself and ask:
-
Am I afraid of responsibility in certain areas of my life?
-
Do I feel the need to be responsible for everyone and everything all of the time?
-
Do I respect myself and love myself enough to put my wants first now?
-
Can I confidently make changes, for example, to my hairstyle, and feel good — even if others are critical?
-
Am I in a relationship with someone out of fear of being alone?
-
Do I often seek approval of others? If so, why?
-
Am I afraid to take care of myself? What might happen?
-
Am I critical of others?
-
Do I often blame others for some of my own problems or current circumstances?
-
In general, how good to I feel about my home? My body? My relationships?
Taking the time to reflect and grow is healing.
Accelerate healing with a focused daily intention
You can accelerate healing by integrating a daily intention to choose the path of least resistance, so you are constantly in a state of ease and grace. Without resistance there is harmony. Harmony means you lay the foundation for digestive health and fertility health. In doing so, this harmonious state puts you back in flow to be a magnet of abundance which can then flow to you in all the forms of joy that life has to offer.
Meditation works for healing digestive issues and fertility
Meditation can put you in this abundant, harmonious, health-activation state. Here are some free meditations from the Awakening Fertility YouTube channel for you to benefit from right now. There are eight to choose from, I recommend this one:
Fertility yoga can help improve digestive health
Combining Qigong with therapeutic Hatha Yoga is one of the fastest ways to restore health to your body when you are trying for a baby.
Digestive disorders are a sign your body is tense, therefore your muscles need to relax so you can experience more blood flow throughout your body. When you are stressed you hold tension in your body and as the body activates ‘fight or flight’ mode the sympathetic nervous system kicks in.
When this happens, your body stops focusing on digestion and pulls all your blood and life-force energy to the extremities.
To restore the digestive fire, a combination of Organic Edible Castor Oil with Organic Thai Black Ginger in a glass of warm water with freshly squeezed lemon juice works as a delicious elixir to soothe and restore your digestive system whilst boosting your fertility at the same time.
Prolonged bouts of stress ultimately damage your digestive system and reproductive system.
Therefore, in addition to this soothing drink, I highly recommend this short video to help increase blood flow to your digestive system and reproductive system:
Physical or environmental reasons gut health issues
You may have had food poisoning, antibiotics, certain medicines or prolonged ingestion of processed food or non-organic food (with herbicides, fungicides and pesticides), heavy metal exposure, etc., all of which creates a toxic overload that destroys the good gut bacteria.
If you have endured any of the above you will need to replenish your microbiome with restorative gut-health supplementsa especially the combination of powerful prebiotics and probiotics to re-grow the essential flora, coupled with gut-health foods that are helpful for fertility and digestive health.
The best foods are:
-
Aloe vera flesh (best added to smoothies fresh from the succulent leaves)
-
Organic avocados
-
Organic bananas
-
Organic celery
-
Organic leafy greens
-
Organic papaya and papaya seeds
-
Organic sweet potatoes
Stay away from inflammatory foods
Foods that cause inflammation include sugar, caffeine, alcohol, wheat, corn, gluten, processed foods and non-organic foods to help improve your digestion and fertility.
Be kind and support your gut biome with 100% vegan prebiotics and probiotics because then you are kind to the planet as well – https://powerfullypure.com/products/prebiotic-and-probiotic-fulvic-minerals
What makes these Fulvic Minerals the best choice for supporting your gut health?
Not made of human faecal matter
Made from 100% organic nutrient dense humus
FULVIC MINERALS ARE MORE THAN A PREBIOTIC/ PROBIOTIC
Helps to remove the build up of toxins in our bodies from:
– toxic chemicals in our diet (eg processed foods and chemical farming methods);
– our air (from radiation, chem-trails and other pollutants);
– our water (especially recycled toilet water or water drunk from plastic bottles).
Easy to take, just put 7 drops in your water and sip throughout the dayHere’s an illustration that sums up what has been covered so far:
Can digestive disorders like IBS be a blessing when trying to conceive?
-
abdominal pain and cramping
-
excessive gas
-
mucus in the stool
-
bloating
-
constipation
-
diarrhea
-
pain relief is often reported following a bowel movement
(This means when you wake you set your mind up to activate harmony and healing, you apply your ‘fertility fit’ routines to your ‘fertile lifestyle morning routine).
(Up to 30 points of nutrient servings per day, including glasses of clean water – not tap water, so getting a water purifier is essential! For discounted water purifier options PM me for details or leave your questions/interest in the comment box below).
(The Awakening Fertility Mind Mastery techniques are designed to help you with this).
(The medical martial arts designed to put the life force energy back into your sacral band where you need it the most for fertility and digestion, see video above).
Basically your digestive health disorder is helping you to rebalance whatever is out of balance: physically, mentally and emotionally!
Considering a Fertility Digestive Detox Cleanse? Here’s What You Need to Know First
Not all cleanses are safe for fertility and not all cleanses or detoxes can be done when you are trying to work or overcome other debilitating health conditions.
A very powerful detox that leaves you feeling deeply refreshed and helps improve your gut health is the Powerfully Pure Heavy Metal Detox.
Due to the fact it is tasteless, it is easy to take with your morning lemon water and MSM detox drink. It magnetises the heavy metals to Zeolite, then Bentonite Clay mops up additional toxins, while with Psyllium Husk quickly excretes it out of the body.
Hydrating your colon is essential for improving digestive health recovery and fertility because it boosts your life force energy and your body’s ability to detoxify.
Hydrating your colon with alkalised, ionised, structured clean water will work faster than any other water you drink. Clean, natural, water is renowned for healing most ailments on the planet, the problem is it is difficult to come by, which is why people turn to specific water purifiers.
What Is a Fertility and Colon Cleanse?
Fertility and colon cleansing has risen in popularity in recent years as a natural fertility treatment. The goal is to flush out the heavy metals, toxins, and inflammation that have accumulated in the body—factors that may lead to infertility.
“These toxins are basically just sitting in our fat cells where they can be released very easily when we detoxify,” says Dr. Sangiuliano.
Why Do a Fertility Cleanse?
For women who are struggling with infertility, cleansing can be important for ensuring that their bodily systems are completely ready to conceive. “After we detoxify, we get pregnant faster because of egg quality and the environment of our womb is much healthier for conception,” says Dr. Sangiuliano, who believes:
Fertility and colon cleanses are especially important for anyone with unexplained infertility
Fertility and colon cleansing gives women a better foundation for conceiving and to improve the quality for a healthier pregnancy in general.
“We need to make sure that our eggs and our sperm are the best quality possible before conception takes place, because if you’re conceiving with eggs that are poor quality, you’re increasing the risks of miscarriage, childhood leukemia, autism, ADD, and diabetes,“ warns Dr. Sangiuliano.
Final note:
As you can see there are many ways to increase fertility and heal your digestive disorders that simply involve tailoring your lifestyle to a healthier, happier way of life.
It’s no secret that eating healthy, staying active, and maintaining a positive attitude are the foundations of any fertility and digestive health treatment.
However, this is not so easy in today’s hectic world.
Make it easy by following an enjoyable fertile lifestyle and getting the right supplements that target the results you seek you will be able to restore health and harmony to your mind and body.

I have been looking at the powerfully pure website and would you recommend the Immune with these 4 gut health products – https://powerfullypure.com/collections/4-best-vegan-products-for-improving-gut-health?
The Powerfully Pure Immune seems like it will give me better immunity and energy and the vit C that can help my fertility, is that right?
I love this meditation, thank you!
Great article. Loving your newsletters Fiona
Just bought these! Really excited to get them :) https://powerfullypure.com/collections/4-best-vegan-products-for-improving-gut-health
That’s fantastic to hear Paige! Thanks for sharing!
Is it better to take the detox supplements or to do the stress management meditations and exercise to help with digestion and fertility?
Thank you
Jamie
Great question Jamie, thanks for reaching out and asking. It is best to do all at once:
FERTILITY FIT + DIGESTIVE SUPPORT EXERCISES
FERTILITY MEDITATIONS
FERTILITY MIND MASTERY
ORGANIC, WHOLE FOOD, CLEAN SUPPLEMENTATION:
* supplement to detox (eg castor oil + heavy metal detox)
* supplement to support (eg thai black ginger + fulvic minerals)
* supplement to rebuild energy… I have not included these in the article so have included links for your ease and benefit: (eg Marine Phytoplankton – https://powerfullypure.com/products/organic-marine-phytoplankton-capsules + Immune – https://powerfullypure.com/products/immune-natural-vitamin-c-get-more-energy-medicinal-mushrooms + L-Arginine Pink Drink – https://powerfullypure.com/products/l-arginine-pink-drink-powder )
Who knew about all this? I had no idea all these digestive health factors contributed to fertility issues… But it makes sense.
I looked at other heavy metal detoxes and this Powerfully Pure one you recommend https://powerfullypure.com/products/heavy-metal-detox definitely is the most pure and has the most superior ingredients, I was pleasantly surprised to see.
It sure is – it is one of the best on the market!
Thank you for the inspiration!
I had no idea about half this stuff.
I’m going to buy the heavy metal detox and fulvic minerals you suggested, they seem amazing
JW
Great Jasmine!
Let us know how you get on with the supplements, they work wonders!
I never realised about heavy metals, but since reading your newsletter and seeing this article I have seen there is a lot of information on the net about the link between heavy metal toxicity and infertility. Thanks
You are welcome Gemma :)
I am really inspired to get some of these detox products now.
I’m on a budget, but do you think:
Castor Oil + Heavy Metal Detox + Fulvic Minerals is enough to help detox the issues that are causing me infertility?
Oh, I was thinking of the Castor Oil Kit because then I can use it topically and internally, is that what you’d recommend?
https://powerfullypure.com/products/castor-oil-kit
Hi Sara
Thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Castor Oil Kit would be better than just the tub if you are looking to improve your fertility issues. Without knowing more about you it is difficult to say whether this is all you need to remedy your fertility issues, however I can say it is a great start.
Remember for faster results you are best to add the specific fertility meditations and fertility fit exercises as well as fertility Mind Mastery techniques to clear the emotional, mental and physiological blockages to you having your baby.
If you have subscribed to the Awakening Fertility newsletter you will have access to booking a complimentary consultation with me, which I’d recommend you book so we can get you baby ready ASAP (my courses have an 80% success rate for women all over the world) so it is highly likely it can help you too. I can run through the Mind Mastery with you during our session and offer you as much support as possible during the 60min consult.
