If you are trying to improve your egg quality either because of miscarriages, infertility, or IVF, it can seem like a mine field with all the recommendations you find all over the internet. In this video I tell you 3 specific ways to improve egg quality that have some actual scientific research behind them.
What I used:
Ubiquinol (CoQ10): amzn.to/3vbcEm5
DHEA: amzn.to/35oIMHY
Melatonin: amzn.to/3hkAC61
Labs (like testosterone) : www.ultalabtests.com/ultdirect
