How functional medicine helped me get pregnant. - Client Testimonial.
Today's blog is a special one for me, as I want to share something truly incredible with you. As a functional medicine practitioner, I am always dedicated to helping my clients achieve their health goals and live their best lives. But recently, I had the privilege of being a part of something even more meaningful - helping a woman fulfil her deepest wish and wildest dream of becoming a mother.
I am humbled to say that I played a small part in this incredible journey, and it has reminded me once again why I do what I do. Functional medicine is not just a job for me, it's a passion and a way of life. And seeing the impact it can have on someone's life is truly a gift.
I want to share this story with you today, along with the tools that helped make it possible. And most of all, I want to express my gratitude to my client for trusting me and allowing me to be a part of this life-changing experience.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me.
"I never thought I would fall pregnant but I did! After years of struggling with “unexplained infertility”, I got in touch with Dr Marie Christine Dix as she had been recommended to me by a friend. She initially taught me about the importance of making sure the nerves in my back were working properly as these supplied my fertility organs which I hadn’t even considered. After years of working as a dancer my lower back had always been sore but I hadn’t thought this may be contributing to my inability to fall pregnant! Marie-Christine explained to me how functional medicine worked and helped me identify imbalances in my body that were contributing to my infertility and gave me the tools to address them.
With Marie-Christine’s guidance, I made some simple changes to my diet, added in some supplements (some I had never heard of before), and prioritised reducing my stress levels. I also addressed my spinal issues and some long-term underlying health issues (eczema and hayfever) that I had been putting up with not realising they were also potentially impacting my fertility. Within a few months, I was pregnant!
I'm so grateful to Marie-Christine for her support and guidance. Functional medicine has not only helped me fall pregnant, but it has also given me a greater sense of control over my health and well-being. If you're struggling with infertility or any other health issue, I highly recommend getting in touch with Marie-Christine. I wish I had done so sooner.”
