Welcome to the Fearlessly Fertile Podcast, episode 243. A whole body approach to preparing for conception. A conversation with Dr. Olivia Watkins. Hey my loves, I'm so excited to bring you this week's episode. Okay, so if you haven't figured it out by now, I especially love to have experts on my podcast that think outside of the box. Because look, anybody can just regurgitate garbage that they got from a training program 5, 000 years ago. What I love to do is bring experts onto this podcast that think differently. That are looking at problem solving from a very different perspective. I don't care about convention because convention is going to tell you you're too old. You tried too many times. This is never going to work for you. You have an X percent chance. Like no way. When we're talking about your dream of being a mom, you've got to do better. You've got to think about. Your fertility differently, which is why I'm so excited to have Dr. Liv on today, because when Dr. Liv and I were connected, it was like, boom, I love the way this woman thinks. And she's treating her patients with the kind of respect that takes their individuality into account. And I freaking love it because you know what you can, anybody can read a statistic off of Google, OK? Dr. Liv is all about multifaceted, personalized wellness support to women of all ages, seeking comprehensive, culturally competent, preventative, and humanized care. Okay, who doesn't want more of that? So I can't wait for you to hear my conversation with Dr. Liv. And here it is. All right. Well, Dr. Liv, I'm super stoked to have you on, and I would love it if you would start us off. By sharing a little bit about how you found yourself getting into naturopathic medicine. Sure. Thank you for having me here. I'm really excited to talk to you and your audience. So, I have a little bit of a story. I initially knew I wanted to be into science, but I was not sure about being a doctor until, um, I was probably 11, 12, maybe 13, and I had went to visit my paternal grandfather in Michigan. And he had been complaining about having pain in his feet, like the whole vacation, just like my feet hurt, my feet hurt. And I went to see like, what's up with his feet. And he had these tube socks that were too tight. The elastic bands were tight and they were cutting off his circulation. So I remember getting some scissors.
