Fertility Approach — burgess wellness

Fertility

The food you eat and the way you live have the greatest influence on your fertility after your age. And unlike your age, diet and lifestyle are within your control.

Fertility itself is a sign of health. Whether you’re preparing to conceive or you’ve struggled and need extra support, we can optimize nutrition and lifestyle to impact underlying root cause hormone imbalances, improve egg and embryo quality, manage stress and address nutritional deficiencies. If you’re considering or already underway with fertility treatment or egg freezing, there is complementary work to be done for the best possible outcome.

Fine-tuning your nutrition pre-conception provides a strong foundation for pregnancy and beyond. Did you know that many of the most critical stages of baby’s development happen before you may even know you’re pregnant?

Get Started

I was undergoing IVF treatments, suffering from recurrent pregnancy loss, implantation failure, and PCOS. I thought I ate pretty healthy but I was sure there was room for improvement. I'm so glad I decided to work with Bonnie! She made it easy to make small changes to my diet, which when combined together made a huge difference in my life! I never felt like I was depriving myself or overwhelmed. I lost about 13 pounds and was able to keep it off. Most importantly, I'm happy to say that my next IVF embryo transfer worked! We are expecting our sweet rainbow baby boy in a few months and still incorporating the principles Bonnie taught me throughout my pregnancy. I definitely think working with Bonnie helped me get and stay pregnant this time.

After about a year of TTC and in preparation for upcoming IVF treatment, I decided to give myself the gift of working with Bonnie. What an excellent decision it turned out to be! Both personal and professional, Bonnie has a gift for connecting with you, meeting you where you are, and giving you the motivation and concrete tools/knowledge you need to be successful. I was initially worried that this work would make me hyper-fixated on, and more stressed about, my relationship with food, but the complete opposite happened. With the passing of each session, I felt myself becoming more confident, empowered and comfortable with my food choices and ultimately, self-image. As I near the end of a healthy first trimester, I'm so thankful I chose to work with Bonnie, and look forward to future sessions as I readjust to myself after giving birth.

Bonnie is absolutely incredible! In January of this year I suffered a miscarriage and after months of unexplained infertility I needed to seek some additional support. After getting various tests done I was diagnosed with a hormonal imbalance which had stemmed from extreme weight loss and poor eating habits. From there I began working with Bonnie to get my nutrition intact especially as I’m gearing up to go through IUI. Our first session she spent an hour and a half with me going through my diet and lifestyle and from there we began implementing small but attainable changes to my diet. From there we met every two weeks after that for four sessions where the changes began to increase as I started to get more comfortable with this new lifestyle. I’ve just since completed my fourth session with Bonnie and I’ve never felt better. I’m the healthiest I’ve been in a long time. For years I was prone to getting sick every couple of months for weeks at a time. Ive been able to put on reasonable weight to be at a good BMI for someone my height and size. My sleep has never been better. I have ten times more energy throughout the day as I’m finally fueling my body with the appropriate nutrients and my digestive system has never been better. With all of that being said I cannot recommend working with Bonnie enough. She is thorough and detailed in her care and support, she implements realistic changes to your diet/lifestyle based on your level of comfortability, she is always available in between sessions should you have any questions and she genuinely cares about her patients well being. While I’m still working towards conceiving a baby, I know I’m put in a much better position having had the opportunity and pleasure of getting Bonnie’s care and support! I definitely plan to work with her again for additional post partum (fingers crossed) support.

After 6 months of trying to conceive with no luck and a lifetime of complicated feelings about food, I decided it was time to invest in my health. I got Bonnie's information through my acupuncturist and booked a free consultation. I am so happy that I did. Bonnie provided me with so much patience, information, and support in my fertility journey. While the physical results have been amazing––less inflammation, a healthier BMI, balanced hormones––the mental rewards have been even greater. I feel such relief from the food anxiety that I've experienced since I was a teen. No more restrictive diets or obsessive thinking. I have found a way of eating that works to make me feel strong, nourished, and balanced. Thank you, Bonnie!

Bonnie has helped me so much over the last few months as I go through IVF. Her diet and lifestyle changes were easy to implement and I feel completely energized and my mood has been so much better. She is very easy to talk to and I feel like she is rooting me on as I continue this fertility journey. I never felt judged when talking openly and honestly about my nutrition and wellness with her. I highly recommend Bonnie and I am so lucky have been connected to her. She has changed my life!
