After working in a variety of settings, with a variety of clients and health concerns, I have found that meaningful and lasting change requires a minimum time commitment of at least 3 months. In the case of fertility nutrition, this is particularly important. For one, the last three months of the egg recruitment and maturity cycle the selected follicle requires about 50 days to grow and develop to the preovulatory stage. Three months, therefore, is the shortest amount of time we can work together that will have a positive impact on the health of your ovaries. Secondly, a large part of this program is centered around body detoxification and hormone balance. These are not processes in the body that can or should be rushed, and I have found 12 weeks to be the optimal time for most women to achieve desired results in these areas.
