THE 7 PIlLArs

Within your fertility wellness protocol, we will address these pillars that are necessary before trying to conceive:

Featured
Pillar One

A nutrient-dense, well-sourced, whole food diet to support a growing baby.

Pillar Two

Eliminating any toxins that might be contributing to an overburdened liver and gently supporting detoxification.

Pillar Three

Balancing blood sugar which directly impacts all hormones including sex hormones.

Pillar Four

Reducing stress and uncovering where there may be any hidden internal and/or outside inflammation, infection or stressors.

Pillar Five

Healing your gut which is the gateway to absorbing and utilizing nutrients from your food. Gut pathogens and dysbiosis can also be carried over to the baby and contribute to allergies and eczema so it is important to strengthen healthy gut microbiome beforehand and address any pathogens.

Pillar Six

Adding professional quality supplementation based on your test results to help with possible nutrient/mineral deficiencies and help restore balance and healing in the body.

Pillar Seven

Optimizing fertility hormone health for both partners.

“Let me just begin by saying Alyssa is absolutely wonderful. I went to her because I was struggling with “something” but wasn’t quite able to put my finger on it. Through her testing she was able to discover that my hormones were completely out of whack! My regular OB didn’t test for even half of the things Alyssa knew to. The results from all of the more detailed testing, as well as Alyssa’s intricate knowledge of what to do with those results allowed her to put together a protocol for me that has absolutely turned things around for me. I was struggling with insomnia, prolonged elevated cortisol, anxiety, and anemia as well as all of the hormones being unbalanced. Now, I’m sleeping great, my stress is much more tolerable, my anemia symptoms are almost completely gone, and my cycles are normal again. Alyssa’s passion for helping women feel whole and complete is contagious. She’s a joy and oh so knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her.”

“ I started out the year making a promise to myself that I would finally focus on self-care. Several abdominal surgeries, severe endometriosis, and now menopause brought on by my complete hysterectomy— I wasn’t sleeping well, was constantly crashing, and overall felt yucky most of the time. I am fortunate to have worked with the lovely Alyssa Hustedt. We did some testing and she created a protocol to heal my gut, regulate my blood sugar and help me to sleep. I started to feel better, not crash as much, sleep better, and dropped almost 10 pounds. Not to mention my joints feel better! Naturally with feeling better, I am happier. I have less anxiety. I am so incredibly thankful for Alyssa and her encouragement, guidance and support throughout.”

“Alyssa was fantastic to work with! She was able to help me understand what my body specifically needed and share knowledge that I will carry for a lifetime, even outside of trying to get pregnant. She has a caring nature that was such an encouragement to me during a difficult season of life.”

“ A dear friend referred me to Alyssa after my husband and I had been trying to conceive for a year and a half. We'd just received the diagnosis of "unexplained infertility" from a nearby clinic - meaning they couldn't find a reason that we weren't getting pregnant naturally. I'm so thankful that I found Alyssa when I did because she helped to identify several areas where my health was not optimal for pregnancy, things that the fertility doctors completely overlooked. After one year of working with Alyssa (and five rounds of non-medicated IUI), we became pregnant with our first child! I 100% credit the protocol and liver cleanse that she put me on with our success.”

ALYSSA HUSTEDT, NTP, MRWP

Alyssa is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Master Restorative Wellness Practitioner.  Her own 8 year struggle with infertility propelled her into the nutrition space where she vowed to learn more about her body in the hopes of conceiving naturally or at minimum— preparing her body if she and her husband decided to proceed with medical intervention. 

After 2 years of functional testing, specific diets and lifestyle changes along with holistic nutritional protocols, she and her husband conceived naturally and have adopted a baby girl as well.  Through her own experience, education, and helping others who were struggling to conceive, Fertility Wellness Co. was born. 

Alyssa desires to support as many couples as possible whether they are only beginning to think about having a baby or have been trying for many years.  She does not believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to health and fertility wellness.  Our bodies are uniquely different and should be treated as such in respect to picking a path toward preparing the body for conception.  Her goal as a fertility practitioner is to work with your specific bio-individual needs, uncover which areas of your health and hormones may need some extra support and TLC and to prepare your body to become a safe place to conceive and grow a baby.

 

  • After you schedule an appointment, you will receive a health history intake, nutritional questionnaire and food journals to be completed a minimum of 24 hours before the scheduled appointment. You'll also be able to upload any additional test results that you may have done recently. All of our meetings are held through Practice Better via video chat or phone call if preferred. If you cannot find a time that works with your schedule, please email info@fertilitywellnessco.com or fill out the contact box.

  • The initial consultation without the blood panel is an hour at $299 and with the blood panel + 90 minute consultation, it is $599. Concluding the appointment, you will receive specific diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations. We will also include a plan moving forward if you require any additional testing and protocols such as gut healing and hormone testing. Often clients will receive an abundance of new information during the initial consultation, that they will take several months to work on the foundational units before coming back to do gut and hormone testing.

  • Ideally, we start with an initial full blood panel of 50+ markers that includes nutrient and mineral status, thyroid function, metabolic and blood sugar imbalances, anemia and immune function, cholesterol levels, sex hormones and more. With these results, we are looking for optimal ranges and patterns to help prioritize areas that may need attention. (Average price $240). The GI DNA Map ($350) and MRT Food sensitivity ($335) tests create a powerful gut healing protocol specific to you. The Dutch Complete Hormone test is our preferred way to test hormones to properly evaluate sex hormones, cortisol/stress hormones, estrogen detoxification and organic acids ($299). Additional tests are if needed and include the Organic Acids Test for mold, mitochondria, and neurotransmitter function, testing for mycotoxins, heavy metals and chemicals, 3x4 genetics, and more. Unfortunately, testing is not covered by insurance so we do not upcharge the costs.

  • Yes! There is a discounted price on all services if your partner is willing to do testing with you. We will recommend diet, lifestyle and supplement recommendations for your partner as well to support fertility and vitality.

  • Fertility Wellness does not guarantee a pregnancy, but neither does medical intervention such as IUI or IVF. Instead, Fertility Wellness seeks to find the root cause of imbalance in the body and restore health and vitality to the couple as a whole, so that if they do wish to proceed with medical intervention, they will be in a better space for it. We can also continue to support you through pregnancy and postpartum, if desired.
