I really understand this concern. Before I started my health journey, I was extremely uncomfortable with spending money on myself in general, let alone investing in my health. And spending money on a nutrition program seemed much crazier than spending money on medication and IVF treatments.

But here’s what I realized- if my doctor recommended IVF, I would have done it no matter how much it would’ve cost. If they told me there was a medication I could take that could boost my egg quality and increase my chances of getting pregnant while doing treatments, I would’ve gotten that too.

I would have found a way to pay for it, even if that meant borrowing money, sacrificing spending on other things, or taking on an extra job.

The thing is, the rates of success in various fertility treatments can range from 24-41%. One of the reasons that they often don’t work is because these treatments don’t actually address the root cause of fertility issues. For example, if someone has poor egg quality and dysfunctional hormones, even if they extract their eggs during the IVF process, the eggs might not be able to fertilize or survive after fertilization because of their poor quality. If someone isn’t ovulating regularly because of a hormonal imbalance, taking extra hormones to induce ovulation doesn’t always result in pregnancy because your body’s hormones are still not working properly. 

 This program helps you actually treat the root causes of fertility issues, which can either help you get pregnant naturally or greatly increase your chances of getting pregnant while undergoing fertility treatments. This is also important if you are hoping to have multiple children going forward- a healthy diet and lifestyle optimizes your future fertility as well, not just for the one baby you’re trying to have now. 

In total, watching all the video content for each module will take less than 1 hour a week. 

I know we’re all busy- work, social commitments, family obligations, and doctors’ appointments take up a lot of our time. But so do children. I don’t mean this to be insensitive- having a baby and raising children will absolutely cause you to make changes in your schedule and re-prioritize the way you spend your time. 

I also respect that time is one of our most valuable resources, which is why I’ve broken the videos down into 5-15 minute segments. You can listen to the audios during your commute, while making dinner, or just swap 15 minutes of social media time per day with watching the videos (This last one will help you reduce stress levels too!)

Even if you do everything “perfectly right,” there is no way to guarantee that you will complete this program and get pregnant immediately. Results really depend on your specific body, your commitment to the program, age, genetic factors, and more. This is not a magic pill that solves all fertility issues and helps everyone get magically pregnant. I wish it were! But I am committed to being 100% honest with you, so I want you to understand that while diet and lifestyle changes have helped many, many women, it’s not a fail-proof plan.   

For the record, if any practitioners try to sell you a program that GUARANTEES a pregnancy, RUN. There is no program or intervention that can 100% guarantee a pregnancy, and any claim to do so is a major red flag and takes advantage of women in an extremely vulnerable position.

All that being said, many women have had incredible results and have gotten pregnant from following my program, even those with diagnosed conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, age-related infertility, secondary infertility, unexplained infertility, and more. 

This program is truly a holistic approach to your fertility, which means we address everything that could be a contributing factor to pregnancy, such as diet, fitness, sleep, stress, environmental toxins, sperm quality, and more. 

Although the information is quite comprehensive, I break it down into simple, easy to understand bits, and give you easy, practical ways to implement changes into your life.

Yes! You have email access to Lauren throughout the entire 10 weeks of the program to ask your individual questions. You can also join the live weekly group coaching calls where we will cover specific topics that will help you implement new habits, stay accountable, and get support and clarity for any struggles that might arise.

Everyone’s body is different and this really depends on your state of health. Additionally, it takes 3-4 months for your eggs to mature, so while there are some people who see results more quickly, the majority of the women I’ve worked with see results in 3-6 months.

The Empowered path to Pregnancy will not only help you optimize your chances of having IVF work, but it will be an incredible way to support your body through the physical challenges of injecting hormones.

However, it’s important to note that one of the reasons this program helps people is because it helps boost egg quality. If you’ve already done an egg retrieval, or plan on doing one in less than 3 months’ time, you might not be able to boost your egg quality.

You will still be able to help regulate your hormones, but since egg quality is so important to getting pregnant, this program is best done at least 3 months before an egg retrieval or IVF treatment.

Yes! The foundations of this program are designed to treat the root causes of cellular dysfunction, which plays a role in nearly every hormonal condition.

YES! Trying to conceive can be confusing and overwhelming even for the average healthy couple. This program is designed for those who want to set themselves, their body, and their baby up for as much success as possible.

Additionally, the tools you will learn to implement throughout this program will be incredible habits to carry on with throughout pregnancy and motherhood.

As a mom of 2 now, I look back on my struggle to get pregnant with gratitude because it forced me to learn how to take care of my body before I became a mom. The sleepless nights during the newborn stage and the endless struggles of parenting a toddler are so much easier when my mind and body are functioning properly. 

While it’s amazing if your partner wants to make changes with you through every step of the program, it’s not necessary, and you can still optimize your fertility even if you’re the only one focused on making healthier changes. 

 That being said, it takes two to make a baby and you and your partner will have the highest possible chances of success if you both optimize your health. There is an entire module devoted to sperm health in the program, and I’ll give you a little spoiler alert- smoking and alcohol are the two most detrimental lifestyle factors that affect sperm quality. If your partner regularly engages in those behaviors, reducing or eliminating them while trying to get pregnant is highly recommended. 

With regards to diet and lifestyle, most of the women I work with start out with husbands who are supportive but not necessarily on board to make these changes with their wives. However, I have found that the vast majority of the women I work with complain that they end up trying to meal prep a bunch of recipes and they’re gone in a day because their partner has eaten them too! So even if your partner isn’t completely on board, they may end up making healthier choices by proxy just because you’re leading by example!

In this program we focus on adjusting your nutrition to help boost your egg quality, balance your blood sugar, support hormone balance, reduce inflammation, support mitochondrial functioning, and support your gut health, because the research shows that these are the most important factors when it comes to getting and staying pregnant. 

There is also research that shows having a BMI within the range of 18.5-24.9 is optimal for getting pregnant, and while I don’t want to ignore the research, I chose not to focus on that in this program. We live in a world inundated with diet culture and disordered eating, and women often resort to eating in really unhealthy ways when they’re trying to hit a certain number on the scale or reach a certain BMI. Restricting food & calories as well as overexercising can actually cause further harm to your fertility. 

So while some women do naturally lose weight as they balance their blood sugar and reduce inflammation, that isn’t the goal here and it’s not the focus. If you’re looking for a program to lose weight before you get pregnant, this is not the program for you. 

Nearly all of the recipes are dairy free and gluten free friendly, although you can definitely consume dairy and gluten while on this program if those foods are well tolerated by your body. Eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame are included in many recipes.

The program is 10 weeks long.  The modules build progressively on each other and are every week from the date you sign up, so you have time to watch and process each module, take the action steps recommended for each week, and have time to ask questions and get support via email before progressing to the next module.

Some modules are longer than others, with 1-4 videos per module. Every video is less than 15 minutes long, so you’ll be spending an hour or less per week to keep up with the program.

You will still be able to submit your questions and get access the recordings of the q & a sessions if you can’t attend live. In order to protect people’s privacy only EPP members can view these recordings for the 10 week duration of the program.

You have lifetime access to the course! I want this information to be available to you now and if you’re trying to get pregnant in the future. Also, as new research on fertility is always emerging, you’ll be able to download new & updated resources as time goes on, as well as gain access to new recipes as they’re added to your recipe index.

Since it takes about 3-4 months for your egg cells to fully mature, it’s actually a great time to start optimizing your fertility a few months before you even want to get pregnant! If you’re not thinking about getting pregnant for several years, then check out my other courses and offers if you’re interested in improving your diet and lifestyle for other hormonal health benefits.

Congratulations! Every recipe in the program is pregnancy-friendly too, and will be a great way to ensure that both you and your baby are getting the necessary nutrients for a healthy pregnancy and development. If you’re struggling with first trimester symptoms like nausea or food aversions, I’m here to support you and offer you some first trimester tips and tricks!

Yes, all recipes are kosher!

If you don’t keep kosher, you will still enjoy the recipes, I promise. While I don’t include non-kosher foods because I can’t personally recipe test with them, you’re welcome to swap in nutrient dense foods like shrimp or oysters for chicken or steak if you choose to do so.
