Hey, it’s Dr. Aumatma, host of Egg Meets Sperm, your Holistic Fertility podcast. In this episode, we dive into a topic that’s rarely discussed but incredibly impactful for fertility: Fascia!

Joining me is Deanna Hansen, an expert in the fascia system, who shares the importance of this connective tissue and how it impacts Fertility Health for both women and men.

Deanna Hansen is a best-selling author and pioneer in the field of fascia decompression for physical and emotional transformation. With more than 20 years of hands-on clinical experience, Deanna created Block TherapyTM, a unique at-home fascia-release protocol, to relieve chronic pain and dis-ease, encourage healthy detoxification, and reverse the aging process.

Learn how fascia functions like the body’s internal communication system, connecting every cell and allowing for optimal blood flow and detoxification. Discover how adhesions and blockages in the fascia can impact fertility, especially for women dealing with secondary infertility, postpartum issues, or those who have undergone a C-section. Deanna walks us through the signs of fascia dysfunction and explains why breathing properly can help clear these blockages and improve fertility outcomes.

Dr. Amie is an expert in thyroid health, and we dive into how optimizing thyroid function can make a huge difference in fertility. She's not your ordinary doc – she's your guide to a vibrant, kick-ass life in the world of medicine and alternative health.

She's not just another functional guru; she's your partner in health. Dr. Amie takes your hand and guides you to answers nobody else has given you.
