This book is dedicated to YOU.
May YOU realize YOUR power and allow all that
YOU desire in life to come to YOU.

Tenacity never killed the cat
In fact, it made him fat
Not in girth
But in self-worth
Keep on dreaming
Keep on trying
Keep on goingtil you find it
To squeaky wheels on endless tracks
To college kids in baseball caps
To YOUto prove that we still have
Tenacity and Happy Cats

Are you worried about your ability to get pregnant?

Are you obsessed with how many eggs your ovaries have left?

Did someone tell you that women over the age of 35 have a harder time getting pregnant and now youre beyond stressed out?

Have you read everything on the Internet about improving your fertility and you dont know where to start?

If you answered yes to any one of those questions, Yes, You Can Get Pregnant is for you. Whether you are single and 37 and want to preserve your fertility because you know one day you will meet your mate and want to make babies, or you are 28 and just off the pill and want to get your reproductive system in optimal health, or you are 33 and coupled and just beginning to think about having a baby, or you are 39 and currently trying to get pregnant or have been struggling with conceiving, or you are 43 and headed into your first round of Western fertility treatments, Yes, You Can Get Pregnant is for you. This book is for any woman of any reproductive age who wants to improve her fertility. Yes, You Can Get Pregnant is the complete holistic guide to getting your health and your fertility in the best shape possible so you can get pregnant when you want to.

Some of you may be just beginning to think about having babies; some of you may have one child and want a second; some of you may be knee-deep in infertility treatments, pumped up on hormones, and pulling your hair out. No matter where you are on the path of having a baby, this book will help you. Yes, You Can Get Pregnant will take you on an uplifting tour of your baby-making machinery: your female reproductive system, including your uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and cervix. We will cover topics from eating for optimal egg quality to what environmental toxins you need to avoid, from orgasms to follicle-stimulating hormone, from endometriosis to emotional breakdowns, from miscarriages to bed rest, from a great sex life to a forced-honey-Im-ovulating-NOW sex life. Well get into the emotional aspect of infertility and shift your focus from infertility back to fertility. With my clinical expertise and my extensive Eastern and Western medical knowledge combined with the most recent scientific research and some valuable insight from doctors specializing in reproductive medicine, you will get your health and your fertility on track.

The fertility rejuvenation protocol laid out in Yes, You Can Get Pregnant is a lifestyle plan that is easy to follow, will make you feel and look better, improve your overall health, and markedly enhance your fertility. Youll be able to start applying the practical diet and lifestyle tips to promote fertility and balance your hormones immediately as well as the many techniques to reduce stress and anxiety, boost your immune system, and improve your emotional well-being. Heres the key, though: all of the information in this book must be implemented into your life for your fertility to truly be rejuvenated. I encourage you to read this book front to backin the order it is laid outand to follow every part of the fertility rejuvenation protocol. Embrace all of the material in Yes, You Can Get Pregnant and rejuvenate your life, your health, and your fertility.

Keep in mind, the information in this book is not a substitute for medical care and shouldnt be used as such. I encourage you to work with a team of health care providers, both Western and Eastern. With this approach, you will find your best solutions for rejuvenating your fertility.
