1:00Hi, I'm Kris.
1:02When I was younger I went through trauma that caused me to feel broken and lost.
1:06But my life changed after I had a spiritual awakening.
1:10Since then, I've dedicated my life to studying and learning from masters all around the world that have helped me to create a life of fulfillment and abundance beyond my wildest dreams.
1:19Now I'm dedicated to sharing everything I've learned so that you don't have to suffer for decades.
1:24Like I did, I've seen people's lives completely transform and I share it all right here.
1:32So, speaking of guests with me today, I have a Alta.
1:37So Ayer is a medical astrologist, astro herbalist and a green witch.
1:42She is obsessed with helping women restore balance to their hormones through their cosmic blueprint and design.
1:48She's helped countless women restore balance and vitality to their bodies and rebalance their hormones leading to pregnancy, normal periods, reduction in cramps and P MS symptoms and more.
2:00She lives on the road in her van with her family and dog.
2:03She's the owner of Alta Astrology, as well as twin twin Raven naturals, her apothecary where she formulates and makes all of the herbal medicine.
2:12She dispenses very cool.
2:14Welcome, Ire.
2:16Hi.
2:17Thank you so much for having me.
2:18I'm so glad to be here today.
2:20You're so welcome.
2:20And are you in your van right now?
2:23I am.
2:24I can like kind of make it out through the blur.
2:28Yeah.
2:29It's my, my wonderful 1992 pink carpeted everything behind me.
2:34So amazing.
2:36And where are you in the country right now?
2:37, we're currently in Arizona.
2:40Oh, that's a nice place to be in the winter.
2:42Yes.
2:43Yes.
2:44, we don't.
2:44Well, ok, let me rephrase that.
2:46I don't do winter.
2:47My family actually doesn't mind snow.
2:50I couldn't care less if I ever had to deal with it again.
2:53So, we compromised and we went here where it's a little bit cold and we can go a little further north and they can get snow if they want it and I can have my hot.
2:59So it works out well, I relate to that so much.
3:03I grew up in,, the Midwest and I moved to California to get away from snow right now.
3:09We live like, three hours from Tahoe.
3:11So my husband, if he wants to go skiing or snowboarding or whatever, he can go do that.
3:16But,, I don't have to see.
3:19Yes, I, 100% with you.
3:22I think we talked about how,, I think you were, you grew up in Chicago and I grew up in Chicago too.
3:27So I do not miss the,, the cold weather at all.
3:31My sister still is in Chicago and I refuse to visit her in the winter.
3:36I'm like, no, I'll come see you in the summer girl.
3:38Yeah.
3:39Total.
3:39And especially in Chicago, I feel like the sky is just gray for like, four or five months straight.
3:47Like, you don't get blue skies, sun and it's so depressing.
3:50Yes.
3:51And I have discovered that I am a full sun plant and I need all the sun and when I don't get it, I am not myself.
3:57I'm super cranky.
3:58No one wants to be around me, including me.
4:00And so out here is just much better for me and what I need.
4:05So I like that a full sun plant.
4:09I might, I might steal that.
4:10That's good.
4:11I'm also a sun worshiper, so I feel, yeah.
4:15All right.
4:17So, so yeah, so I start my episodes the same way.
4:21I, by asking my guests their origin story, I love to hear people's stories about what led them on this path, what got them started.
4:29Usually there's some big event that creates a big turning point.
4:34So I'd love for you to share your story on how you got started.
4:38Yeah, definitely.
4:40I definitely had a big life event.
4:43So we will go through that.
4:44So in 19, I was diagnosed with endometriosis that was in the middle of the nursing school.
4:50Busy as all get out with that.
4:52Anybody who's been in nursing school will tell you that it is insane.
4:56And I took an accelerated program where they crammed four years into two.
5:00So it was even more insane than like a normal nursing.
5:03So when I was diagnosed with that, I really just did not have time to deal with it.
5:08I was exhausted.
5:09I was only home for like, 34 hours a day and most of that was to sleep and then right back again to school and then the few hours that I could work all this stuff.
5:19So I just was like, oh, whatever, you know, 19 years old, you just don't know what, you don't know when you're young and you think you're invincible.
5:27And so, yeah, that's kind of what I thought.
5:29Well, then I graduated nursing school and I got my first job and everything was now, like, worse.
5:34My endometriosis is worse.
5:36My periods were getting worse.
5:37And so I went to a new doctor in the area that I had moved to for my job and this doctor was very cold and callous.
5:44I don't know why they worked with people, much less women who were in very vulnerable positions because they had no bedside manner, walks in after running a bunch of tests.
5:53And I was here to, like, hear the results.
5:55He walks in and he's like, yeah, so all your results are pretty bad, blah, blah, blah.
5:59Your endometriosis has progressed.
6:01You should probably never have kids.
6:02Ok.
6:03And turned around and left and that was it.
6:05That was the whole thing.
6:07And I was just like, yes, I was shocked, I was kind of stunned and then I was like, kind of in tears because at that point I didn't know if I even wanted Children.
6:16But like, I wanted that to be my choice not have it just taken away from me with, you know, out my consent.
6:22And so it was just like super devastating.
6:25I didn't know what to do.
6:27I went and tried out another few other practitioners, saw a few other doctors went to one who was supposedly this expert in endometrial pain and like helping you manage that their solution was to just go in and cut all the nerves that led to my uterus and like pelvic area and were like there that gets rid of the pain.
6:48And I was like, well, what else does it get rid of?
6:50Like, that doesn't seem like a very safe like option or a one that I want permanently done.
6:57And so it just felt very barbaric to me like this is like the 20th century, why are we like, you know, like it was just, and after doing all that, I was now like 25 after doing all of this and, you know, trying to get, and I just decided that I was kind of done.
7:14I was gonna figure it out myself.
7:15I was gonna find some other way.
7:17Modern medicine wasn't helping the medications that they were giving me weren't helping everything they were doing was making things worse instead of better.
7:24And I just kept getting this like, intuitive feel in my body that what I was trying was not right.
7:29I needed to find another path So I went down the path of like the alternative health practitioners and I got a herbalist and a naturopath and a functional medicine doctor.
7:37And I got massages weekly.
7:39And like the fertility massages where they really helped like, open up that area.
7:43And I started doing exercises that I had never tried in my life, but they said they were good and I went to a chiropractor and I did all this stuff.
7:51And at 28 I got pregnant naturally with the child that they said I would never have.
8:00it was not a great pregnancy.
8:03My body did not like being pregnant.
8:05I apparently am not a happy pregnant person.
8:08So it was not a fun pregnancy.
8:12I had multiple issues throughout it.
8:14I was on and off bed rest.
8:15I ended up having to leave nursing in April.
8:18No, no, it ended up being like February.
8:21I was supposed to go out in April because I was due in May and my body was just like not handling it.
8:26Well, I kept going on bed rest.
8:27And so eventually I just said I'm just not going back, I'll just stay on maternity leave early.
8:33And so I was on bed rest for like the last six weeks of my pregnancy.
8:37I kept having issues with my placenta trying to detach from the wall.
8:43And so it was just like super crazy.
8:46I finally one day I stand up and I feel like this gush of water.
8:52And I'm like, did my water just break?
8:54So I called my midwife.
8:55She's like, more than likely.
8:56That's what it was.
8:57Why don't you come in?
8:58We'll check things out and see what's going on.
9:00So, it's like a Saturday.
9:02So I, I go in, I take all my stuff with me because I wasn't sure if it was like, baby time or not.
9:06She test the, the test to determine if it's amniotic fluid or not.
9:10And it was, and she's like, yay, we're having a baby.
9:12Well, my daughter apparently had other plans.
9:15She did not want to come out.
9:17So I was there Saturday night, we got admitted around like midnight and then Sunday came.
9:25Nothing.
9:25We were there all day, Sunday, nothing.
9:28So Monday morning rolls around and still nothing and everything's not progressing as it should.
9:35So they got transferred to a higher level of care at a, at a different hospital where they had like the emergency stuff.
9:42They hooked me up to some monitors and wanted to do a little bit of Pitocin to really kind of kick start my labor since it wasn't doing what it needed to do.
9:50My body wasn't laboring properly and they said, let's just try to give you a little bit of Pitocin and we'll get that started very low rate just to kind of see if that helps.
10:00Right.
10:00I said, ok, I agreed to that.
10:02So we start the Pitocin and within 30 minutes of starting it and it's at like even lower than like their normal level that they start at.
10:10I start having this really severe pain in the bottom half of my pelvis.
10:15And I am like screaming in pain because it is not fun.
10:18They get the monitor starts beeping and I'm looking at it because I'm a nurse.
10:22I know what the monitor is supposed to say and it was really skewed, the fetal monitor starts going off.
10:27Her heart rate says it's 200 it's not coming down.
10:31And so like the nurses all come rushing in and they start doing things to try to, you know, turn things around, doesn't turn around.
10:38I end up in the emergency c section because she was in distress and then I started becoming in distress because now I'm worried about my baby.
10:45So we have an emergency section.
10:47, it was not my doctor that I had been seen because I got whoever was there at that moment.
10:52But I knew the doctor because I worked at this hospital and I knew him, I'd worked with him.
10:56I'd seen him, one of my friends actually went to him and I had taken her to a few for appointments.
11:00So we, I knew this doctor and he was really well known for choking.
11:04So he gets into the C section to, you know, start the procedure.
11:08Thankfully, they had been able to give me a spinal.
11:11So I didn't, wasn't knocked out like normal in an emergency section.
11:14They knock you completely out because they don't have time for that because I worked there.
11:17They said we'll try the spinal first so that you can be awake.
11:21So I was wide awake while he was doing this, he makes the incision.
11:25He does the thing to like, you know, get inside the uterus and I hear him go.
11:30oh, and I said, what do you mean?
11:32oh cause like that's not something you want to hear in the middle of an emergency c section.
11:37And he said, you're, you have a massive infection in here and we have got to get her out now.
11:43And so they got her out very quickly, almost dislocated her shoulder doing it.
11:47And within like 2030 minutes of her being born, I looked at the anesthesiologist that was standing next to me and I said, I don't feel good.
11:56And he said, what do you mean?
11:57You don't feel good?
11:58And I said, I mean, I feel like the spinal is moving up and my lungs are becoming paralyzed.
12:02I can't breathe.
12:03I'm feeling weird.
12:05The doctor starts yelling for medicines that I know were emergency medicines and people start running all over the room.
12:11I, and then that was it.
12:12That was the last thing I remember and I was out and it was very dark and it was like peaceful and I remember feeling like I was surrounded by love and that there was something there, but I couldn't tell you what it was that just was like holding me.
12:28And then a few minutes later I came back to and I woke up in the room and the anesthesiologist informed me that I had died and they had brought me back and I looked at him and I said, ok, but I still don't feel good and I proceeded to puke all over him multiple times.
12:42I felt so bad for this poor anesthesiologist.
12:44And so come to find out when I had been like six months pregnant, I started complaining about a lot of pain and I had apparently come down with an infection, but my body had walled it off inside the uterus.
12:57And so I never got a fever, I never had a white blood cell count increase.
13:01So there was no indication that I had this.
13:03So nobody knew that it was going on and my daughter was protected because she was inside the amniotic fluid sac.
13:09So it never got to her until her water broke.
13:11And then she had the possibility.
13:13Well, when they had cut into my uterus that had released all the infection into my bloodstream at once, and I went septic really quick, went into shock and died on the table and they brought me back.
13:24thankfully because now my daughter has a mom and she's a great daughter and I'm super happy that I got to be her mom.
13:30But that changed like everything for me my entire life was just like, could not be the same anymore.
13:36I had been raised in a really strict religion and that just made no sense anymore.
13:40And just like I went through like this whole crisis of identity when I got home from the hospital with her and I decided that I needed to make a change.
13:49So I went back to school.
13:50I got a degree in herbalism, started my own business and I started helping other women who were going through hormonal issues.
13:56Like I had been and all that.
13:58And I started really using this knowledge that I had gained to work on myself better and help heal my body.
14:03And eventually I found medical astrology along the way, which really like upped my game a lot and really helped as a tool to really help me see what was going on.
14:13And then here we are now.
14:16So it was quite the journey.
14:18My entire spiritual path completely changed and I'm now a practicing witch and all this stuff in my religion that I grew up in is just not even like a thought in my head anymore.
14:30And it's been quite, quite a journey, but I am happy to be where I am.
14:36Wow, that is, that is quite a story.
14:40Thank you so much for sharing it.
14:42That is, I mean, first of all, I'm, I don't know if you know this, I'm 8.5 months pregnant right now.
14:47So I'm like, I'm like to hear all of that.
14:51But,, I've been doing hypnosis and you create your bubble of peace.
14:56So none of that penetrates.
14:58But,, wow, that's so scary.
15:01What a traumatic thing to go through.
15:04And also bodies are so crazy.
15:07The fact that your body walled off the infection to protect you and protected your baby from it like that, that's like pretty amazing that your body could do that.
15:19The doctors were shocked.
15:21They were like, we've never seen anything like that.
15:23And I'm like, because I was taking my herbs and do all of my stuff throughout the pregnancy.
15:27So I don't know if that played a part in it because I was otherwise really healthy.
15:31I don't know.
15:32I'm, I feel very blessed that my body didn't do that because otherwise I would probably not be here and neither would my daughter.
15:40So, yeah, and, and also like everything you were saying in the beginning, like about doctors not having good bedside manners and like not getting the answers you want from western medicine.
15:51Like it, you really do have to be your own advocate.
15:54And you know, I've, I've gone down a similar path before where like I've had an issue that doctors were just like, I don't know.
16:02So I've, I've sought out the chiropractor, I've sought out the acupuncturist, I've sought out the herbalist and it's like you, you have to, you have to be your own best advocate when it comes to your health.
16:11It's unfortunate, but it's pretty crazy.
16:15So, so when you, when you died, so you felt it was just dark, you felt peace, you felt love?
16:23Was there any other, any other like common N D E?
16:27I, I don't know.
16:28Symptom is a stupid word for it.
16:30But I just remember being sad when I woke up because I wasn't there anymore.
16:36I didn't know where there was, but I just knew it was better then where I currently was like on the earth, right?
16:44Like I want to go back there Recently actually in just the last few weeks, I started feeling like this knock, like somebody or something wanted to reach out to me.
16:55And so I, you know, did my protections and then reached out and was like, who's here, who wants to talk to me?
17:01And it ended up being held from the Norse mythology.
17:03She's the goddess of the underworld.
17:05And she said she wanted to talk to me and she ended up telling me part of the message was that she missed me in in hell the under hell heim the Norse underworld because I had been there before in the past, but she knew it wasn't time for me to come back yet.
17:25But she just wanted me to know that she was here to support me and love me through it.
17:29And when it was my time, I, she would bring me back there again.
17:33And so I really think that's where I went, but I didn't know that at the time and that she was the one that was there that I felt like that love and that, you know, I got you kind of feeling of, you know, you're not alone here in this space.
17:46So, wow.
17:48So was it was it just that, that feeling of unconditional love and that feeling of sadness coming back that made you think?
17:55Ok, I need to change everything I'm doing.
17:59It was that, and also I had grown up in a really strict religious household.
18:03My dad was a pastor in the independent fundamental Baptist, religion.
18:08We had to have really long hair, had to wear skirts down our ankles.
18:12There was, you know, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen was your, you know, goal in life if you were, happened to be born as a female, you know, and it was very restrictive and it never really sat well with me and I never really picked up on it as well as like my family probably would have liked me too.
18:30I would.
18:30And so I've been questioning it for a while and of course, growing up in that atmosphere that they were always like, well, you know, when you die, if you're not saved, you're gonna go to hell, it's gonna be fire and brimstone is gonna be this stuff and, or if you are saved, then you go see, you know, Jesus or whatever.
18:44But like when I had that experience and I was literally clinically dead for, I think I said it was like two or three minutes.
18:51I didn't see any of that, like none of that was present.
18:54There was nothing that they claimed I was gonna see And that just got me really questioning.
18:58I was like, well, they told me this but that didn't happen.
19:02And I felt something completely different.
19:03And for the first time in my life, I felt truly unconditionally loved because at that moment in time, was not feeling that for my family, my ex-husband who I was married to at this time during the pregnancy was really unsupportive during the whole pregnancy and everything.
19:17And I just didn't, we were not in a good spot.
19:20And so I just really felt for once, like somebody just, I don't know, I didn't know who it was at the time, but somebody just really truly loved me for who I was and wasn't gonna try to push me into anything else or change me.
19:32And I think that's really kind of what snapped was when I got back to my house and had time to real they like process it.
19:39Once we went through all the stuff at the hospital, I finally got released.
19:42It was like, we were in the hospital for like a week.
19:43So when I finally got home and everything and had time to really process it.
19:48I think what really just made me question everything was everything I'd been told growing up.
19:53None of it seems true anymore.
19:55And I just was like, ok, well, there has to be something else but now I don't know what to do or where to go or even what to think because I don't, I don't know anything else.
20:03I've been literally raised only this one way and anything else was considered, you know, completely, you know, like of the devil, you don't do that, you know.
20:12And so I think that just really, it started some kind of like chain reaction inside of me.
20:18And I, yeah, literally kind of imploded.
20:21, also it was my Saturn return because I was 28 when she was,, when I was got pregnant with her and I turned 29 after I had her.
20:31So I was right in that Saturn return window where, you know, a lot of big life lessons happened.
20:37So I don't know if that was also included in it.
20:40But yeah, I had like a whole spiritual awakening, changed all of my religious views, went more on the spiritual path, got a divorce,, started my own business, went back to school.
20:50And so it was just, it was a lot, a lot.
20:53Yeah.
20:54Yeah.
20:55And, and it, that totally makes sense that you're like, wait, I've been told that I'm gonna see these things my whole life and I, I don't see them, but instead I feel like I'm actually being accepted for who I am and I don't feel that from anything that you're putting out there.
21:10So that, that totally makes sense.
21:11And I, I forgot Saturn returns were a thing until you just said that right now that like brought back like, like my Saturn return.
21:18I was like, oh my gosh, I remember that that where it's just like when it rains, it pours and it's like everything happening at once and your whole world gets turned upside down.
21:29Yeah.
21:29OK.
21:29So, yeah.
21:31Yeah.
21:33and again, thank you for sharing your story and for being so vulnerable and honest.
21:38You know, I appreciate you.
21:40So you, you started off on this adventure and you found medical astrology, what is medical astrology?
21:46Because I've, I've never heard of that before meeting you.
21:50Yeah.
21:51It's actually pretty old, it's not as old as like traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.
21:56They're both about five and 6000 years old and this is more around like 2 to 3 depending on which book you read.
22:04So it kind of started more in like the Arabic nations and then was really solidified into a, a more of a like usable system that was more standardized for everyone to use in the 15 hundreds in like the UK, which is, well now the UK, it was just, you know, England at the time.
22:24and in Italy and a little bit like in France and Germany.
22:27So that kind of whole region there was really brought into use and solidified into a system.
22:33So it is the use of one's natal chart, which in this case is called a planetary health chart and using where the planets are in their chart in which signs to determine what's going on inside the body.
22:45So the planet's influence have influences that are exerted on our bodies.
22:49The signs rule different body systems and organs within the body, starting with areas at the head and ending with pisces in the feet and it goes all the way through the body from top to bottom.
22:59And so whatever sign those planets in your chart are in, they exert that influence over those body systems ruled by that sign.
23:07And so like for instance, if your son is in Aries, Aries rules the head.
23:12the sun is a very hot, drying, warming influence in people's lives.
23:17And so if it's in a, which is a fire sign which is already hot and drying, then these people can be more prone to headaches, migraines, strokes, aneurysm suddenly occurring in their head.
23:29due to that hot dry influence, if it was in Saturn instead, which is a cold and restrictive influence and restricts like blood flow, the nutrients to different body parts and it was in areas, then we would see migraines and headaches as well.
23:42But from a different cause in the sun, it would be more of like a dry inflammatory process.
23:47So we want to use cooling, moistening like herbs and processes that help bring more like hydration to the body cause they're more than likely dehydration caused.
23:56Whereas in Saturn, they're more like there's a vasoconstriction going on.
24:00We want to use herbs and other things that would open those circulatory system and, you know, veins and arteries to the head up so that they were getting more blood flow and in turn would have less headaches.
24:12So that's just a brief Janette.
24:15It's it's a really cool system.
24:17That's a great tool to really help you pinpoint what exactly is happening.
24:21And so obviously current transits affect this of what's going on in the sky, which can cause like something to start happening.
24:29like Saturn and Pisces now.
24:30So if you have Saturn and Pisces in your chart, you might have started noticing a lot more of like chronic foot issues popping up this year.
24:37when Saturn moved into that and so that can cause some issues as well.
24:42Certain moon signs feel the moon phases a lot more than others.
24:45And so they will notice a lot of changes in their bodies during those times.
24:49So it's kind of a good tool as well for not only seeing what could be happening, what could be occurring in the future, but also what's happening right now and how the, how your body is being affected daily.
24:59So you can learn to balance on just a regular everyday basis too.
25:03by learning what your body does under certain conditions.
25:08That's super fascinating.
25:09And I love that it's not just your chart that you were born with, but it's also like, hey, this is what planet is in alignment with whatever right now.
25:18And that's why it's affecting you.
25:19And I probably didn't say that right at all.
25:20But you know what I mean?
25:23So is it only about like the issues that you could have that are popping, that could pop up or are popping up or does it show the other side of it as well as like, I don't know, like you, you're gonna have really healthy kidneys because you have this planet or you, you might have these strengths.
25:41And does that make sense what I'm asking?
25:44Yeah.
25:45Yeah.
25:45So it gives an overall picture of like how your body is designed to function and where imbalances and problems could occur and where they might be actually occurring right now and where they might occur in the future.
26:01And it also can show like when things started, like, if you know, you, you came to me and you're like, hey, I, you know, I get all these headaches and nobody can figure it out.
26:09Can you look and see?
26:11And I'll be like, ok, well, when did your headaches start?
26:13And you tell me, let's say three months ago, I would go back in my infa maris and I would look to see where the planets were in the sky three months ago.
26:21So we can see what triggered it.
26:23And then from there, we can work towards figuring out a solution then.
26:27So it can also show, yeah, that, hey, you're like super healthy or you have a better chance of, you know, not coming down with things, right?
26:35Because you have a high vital force and vitality and things like that.
26:38And so it definitely can be great for preventative use.
26:42It can great for, hey, I have some things.
26:44So let's get that fixed now or hey, I don't want to get something.
26:47What are my odds of getting this and how can I work to make sure that doesn't happen or?
26:53Hey, you know, I'm feeling great, but I just wanted like an overall view of how my body is designed and things that I can do to make sure that it doesn't go the wrong way, right?
27:02And so I've, I've worked with clients for all those spectrums to help them with different things.
27:07So it's really useful for multiple different ways of looking at somebody's body.
27:12That's so cool.
27:13That's super, super fascinating.
27:15And is it only on your physical health or does it work on your mental and emotional health as well.
27:22It works on all levels.
27:23So we when I do like a reading for somebody, I look at their physical health first and foremost, because most people are coming to me for that reason.
27:31Right.
27:32There's some physical symptom going on that's bothering them and they want to figure out why and how they can fix it.
27:37, but not all physical symptoms are caused by a physical issue.
27:43And so a lot of times they can be caused by a mental issue, a mental health issue, they can be caused by a psychological issue.
27:48They can be caused by a spiritual issue.
27:50And so I look, when you look in someone's chart, you see all aspects of their being, it's a very holistic way of looking at somebody, you see their body, mind and spirit and you can work then to determine what is the true root cause and then how we can fix it.
28:04So I really like that because it is a holistic modality and a way of looking at the whole person and not just that symptom that they're having currently.
28:12Right.
28:13Yeah.
28:14And then astro herbalism and astro nutrition.
28:17So those play I'm assuming where you can, can help prescribe things that are gonna, that are gonna help balance out energies, right?
28:28Yes, definitely.
28:29So each herb is governed by a planet and to an extent the signs as well, but mostly the planets.
28:37And so like for.
28:39And since we go back to our Aries example, someone who has like Saturn and Aries and they're having headaches.
28:46And then we can see that it's probably from a vasoconstriction issue.
28:49Then we would want to work with herbs that have an antipathetic action on Saturn.
28:54So instead of being cold and restrictive, they're like, you know, dilating and opening.
28:59And so we would want to do that.
29:00So like rosemary is a good example of that, which is actually a sun ruled herb.
29:04So we'd want to bring more sun into their life that way and help open up their, the circulatory system.
29:10We'd wanna look at Mars ruled plants because Mars is the opposite of Saturn.
29:15And so we use the opposite planet to balance, you know.
29:17So we would want to look at Mars Ruled herbs, which again are very hot, drying herbs, but also that open up the circulate circulation, their circulatory stimulants a lot of times.
29:28So it'd be like Hawthorne and rosemary for that as well.
29:31That would open things up.
29:33So it really helps to be able to really formulate herbal preparation that is very specific for that person, their body, exactly what they need to open up or shut down or whatever we're looking for, right, to bring that balance to their body, to really help their body function at its best and support them as they're going through these physical symptoms while their body then is working to heal those.
29:58So we can kind of keep the symptoms at bay but also support their body with the nutrition that it needs and then the, the herbal support as well.
30:09So it's it's really great.
30:11I love it.
30:11It also gives you the timing.
30:13So like, let's say, for instance, that the problem is from like a cancer placement, where their cancer is then since that's a water sign and it's by the moon, we would want to start their herbal preparations when the moon is in cancer so that they have the best chance of that working really quickly right away and then go from there so that we can work on that problem specifically for that.
30:38And I would formulate those herbs under the day, ruled by the moon, which is Monday.
30:44So I would formulate those on a Monday and then I would have them start them the next moon cycle that's in cancer, you know.
30:50And so we'd go from there.
30:52So it really works on timing and how to make the preparations and how to balance each planet that we see is affected and afflicted in their chart.
31:01Wow, there's so much, so many layers, so much complexity to it and, and it sounds like there was so much to learn, you know, you sound so well versed in it, like overwhelmed by like how, how you're just like knocking these out and it, it kind of reminds me of Ayurveda a little bit.
31:17I know you mentioned Ayurveda earlier, like, just with like the idea of certain things being warm or cool or wet or drying.
31:24So I guess like little influences there.
31:28I mean, it makes me be like, how did someone figure this out that, like, this planet is cool that this aligns with this body part like that just blows my mind.
31:37Yeah.
31:38A lot of the books that I've read for my education, for my degrees in this have been very much where it was like, so for like, the course of six years, you know, this one physician,, you know, kept track of where everything was in the, I would note when someone would come and complain in the headaches that, hey, the moon was in a, that day or whatever.
32:00Like I would and so started, like, putting this all together.
32:04But it took like, years and years of just, like, making little observations when they saw patients and stuff.
32:09It was crazy.
32:10I don't know if I would have the patience to do that myself.
32:14Yeah.
32:14Absolutely.
32:16And, you know, I know you said that sometimes people come to you just, just to get, like, kind of a checkup, like a reading, like, not necessarily complaining about any specific symptoms.
32:26Does it, does it show where, like, there's deficiencies, like nutrition wise or anything like that as well?
32:32Mhm.
32:33Yeah.
32:34So the astro nutrition piece comes in because each planet rules over certain vitamins and minerals and each sign governs a cell salt.
32:42So a cell salt is a version of a mineral that is more bioavailable to our bodies and we have taken it a little bit easier.
32:51And so what I can see is like, again, if they have, you know, areas in Saturn and they're constantly having headaches, what happens is we would look to see what planets are next to Saturn and what planets are directly across from Saturn in opposition because Saturn is very powerful, its influence is very strong and it is not happy only affecting the sign that it's in, it wants to affect everything else around it.
33:15So like if their sun is also in areas, let's say directly next to conjunct Saturn, then they're going to have some issues there because what happens is that restrictive force is going to restrict the nutrients that the other planets around it govern.
33:30So like the sun governs vitamin A, vitamin D, magnesium and iodine.
33:34If your magnesium levels are low, you can get a lot of headaches for many people that can be a sign of low magnet.
33:39You start taking more magnesium bam.
33:41Headaches are better, you know, vitamin A is essential for our cardiovascular health.
33:47It really keeps our arteries, how they're supposed to be nice and flexible, slippery.
33:51So the blood goes flowing through them and doesn't stick to the sides.
33:54And so if you're having a lot of,, issues with headaches like that, it could be a lack of vitamin A cause your vitamin A is not up to where it needs to be.
34:02So we can start that and we can see that that could possibly be an issue.
34:06Iodine can lead to thyroid issues, which can then lead to headaches based on whatever is going on.
34:11Because Torus is rules the ear, nose and throat area and that ear, nose and throat area can reflex to the head and cause headaches.
34:18So we would want to make sure that they're getting enough iodine daily.
34:20Also.
34:21Saturn rules, you know, its own things, vitamin C and it rules calcium and fluorine for the minerals.
34:29And so sometimes if you're not getting enough calcium, you can get headaches because you need the calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium to all work together for the cardiovascular system and muscular system to work and not create spasms.
34:42So it could be a spasm headache because maybe you don't have enough calcium.
34:45So we would really look at all of the things that are going on with that.
34:49And then it gives me a really good idea of what might be deficient in their bodies and then we could start supplementing from there to show you how accurate it is.
34:57I have had clients where I know nothing about what testing they've had done or that they want to go get done and I've done a reading pointed out where deficiencies are more than likely occurring and recommendations for supplements.
35:09And I've had several of them come back and go, oh my God.
35:12I just got blood work back and I'm low in all of those things that you mentioned.
35:16And I don't know how you saw that because, like, you didn't take any blood.
35:19And I'm like, well, it's in your, it's in your chart and they're like, you have some kind of voodoo magic because I just spent thousands of dollars on blood work for you to tell me the same thing and never have to poke me.
35:29I wish I could have seen you first.
35:31Yeah.
35:32And you know, it's gotta be like, so validating for people, right?
35:35That like, oh this, this issue I've been having like, there's a reason for, it's like written in the stars like, yes.
35:43Yes.
35:43And it's, it's part of who I am and there's things that I can do that aren't that don't involve taking drugs or pharmaceuticals.
35:53There's just natural things I can do to help balance my systems.
35:56Yes, I get that a lot from people there.
35:59So many people's first reaction is, oh my God.
36:02This reading was so validating because I've been struggling with, you know, insert problem here for years and everyone's telling me it's in my head.
36:09It shouldn't be that bothersome.
36:11I, you know, I should just be over it by now, you know, like all the stuff that you validated.
36:15This is how my body is designed to work and there's nothing wrong with it.
36:18I just need to accept it.
36:20And once I accept it, then it'll be integrated better right into that shadow work set should start doing the shadow work too and integrate those sides together.
36:27And a lot of them have had their symptoms completely disappear when they've just accepted that this is who they are, how they're designed and that it's ok to be that way, it's ok for you, you know, to be a person who can't eat gluten,, or to be just, you know, have certain foods bother you or,, certain signs really don't do well with pharmaceuticals and they have a list of allergies a mile long and they are being told by health providers.
36:49So that can't be, you can't be allergic to all of these, but they are and then they feel bad like they're making it up or like something's wrong with my body and there's not, you're just one of those signs that is super sensitive to that and what you really need is more holistic,, you know, kind of medications and treatments instead of pharmaceuticals because your body doesn't handle them well.
37:06And so learning that makes them so much happier and more comfortable and confident in their own bodies and then managing their own health, right.
37:14They feel more confident in their ability to trust their bodies and work with it.
37:20Yeah.
37:20Absolutely.
37:21And I mean, it makes sense.
37:22It's like you've come full circle where you weren't feeling accepted for who you were and, and now you get to help other women feel accepted about that.
37:31So, it's pretty special.
37:33Does your, does your chart talk about,, I don't know, like that area of your body where the endometriosis was.
37:40Yes.
37:41Actually.
37:42So when I got into medical astrology, it was the first thing I went looking for when I started learning things.
37:46So I was like, there has got to be a reason for this then, right?
37:49Because I just been so like ragging on myself that I should be better than this.
37:57Why is it taking so long to heal?
37:58Like I know my body can heal it but all this stuff.
38:01And so when I started learning medical astrology, I went looking and so in my Scorpio placement, Scorpio rules the uterus, it rules the colon and it rules the reproductive system in general for males and females.
38:15And so, and it also rules like the elimination pathways of the body.
38:20And so I went looking to see where my Scorpio was placed because more than likely since it rules the uterus, that was gonna be the cause.
38:27Well, my Scorpio, I have five planets in Scorpio, I have Pluto, I have Saturn, I have Mercury and I have my son in moon there and they're all in the fourth house which is the House of Family and motherhood and,, Saturn a Saturn placement in Scorpio is actually one of the major triggers for endometriosis in women.
38:50, but again, very cold restricted force and it restricts the nutrients from getting to, you know, the uterus and all the areas down there that need it.
39:02And in turn, then leads to eventually a chronic issue occurring.
39:06So, Saturn governed health issues tend to be very chronic issues where like you feel fine for years and then all of a sudden they're like, oh, we have six things wrong with you.
39:14And you were like, well, like where did this even come from?
39:17And it's because for so many years, your body has been dealing with this and it has been balancing itself as well as it could and then it gets to a point where it just can't anymore, right?
39:26And that's when this stuff shows up.
39:27And so that's basically what happened.
39:29And since it's right next to my son and it's right next to my moon, it's really constricting those nutrients that are vital for fertility and good uterine health and good female reproductive system health that are ruled by those two.
39:44And then my Venus is in Virgo and that's not a placement that it really likes to be in.
39:49And so because of that, those very needed nutrients that Venus rules copper and vitamin E specifically, that are really necessary for good fertility and female reproductive system health are also being affected.
40:04And so when I saw that in my chart that really helped me, I started supplementing all of those things.
40:09I started eating a more nutrients, stretched diet.
40:11I really started doing more fermented foods and things like that.
40:15And it started really turning things around so much quicker than anything else that I had been doing.
40:20And then I was able to, to focus on which herbs I really need it for my body specifically and turned it all around and to the stay, they can't find any trace of endometriosis in my body.
40:31So that's amazing.
40:34That's really, really, that's really wonderful.
40:37So I know that you, you offered so generously to give me a little mini reading.
40:42So do you feel like it's a good time to do that?
40:45Yeah, definitely.
40:47So I'm just gonna go through a couple of the major placements because obviously we don't have time for my full readings are like an hour or two long.
40:55So we're not gonna do that for the audience today.
40:58But looking at your chart and the information that you gave me, we have your son in Libra, your Moon and Sagittarius and you're arising in cancer.
41:07And then the other two places that I always look depending on what's going on are Mars and Saturn because they are the two malefic and they're the ones who most likely are going to be causing an issue in someone's chart.
41:18it's very rare that they're not the cause.
41:20So occasionally I do see that they are not.
41:23So your Mars is in Virgo and your, and your Saturn is actually in Scorpio too, just like mine.
41:29So, and then what the places that I look to, I look at the first house and I look at the sixth house.
41:35The sixth house is the house of Health.
41:37Combine that with your first house, which is like how well your body holds on to and uses your vital force that you get from the sun.
41:47Kind of they all work together to kind of give me an overall picture of like what your overall health is going to be throughout your life.
41:54So with your rising and cancer and then your sixth house is split between Sagittarius and Capricorn.
42:01And so in that placement, I see that your vital force has a tendency to be a little weak because of the cancer placement, but then also likes to move up and outward.
42:15Cause Sagittarius really being immutable fire sign has a hard time holding on to their energy and keeping their vital force where you want it right in your vital organs, you want it to stay kind of in the center of your body and really give that vitality to those central organs that we need to stay alive, our liver or heart or lungs or kidneys, in particular.
42:35And so with Sagittarius, all their energy tends to go upward and outward and they tend to really lose a lot of that vital force.
42:43So overall, it can be a little difficult for you to hold on to that.
42:47Fortunately, you have a Libra.
42:49So Libra sons have great vitality.
42:51They rarely ever get sick.
42:53They're super healthy.
42:54Most of the time, the only downfall that I ever see with the Libra side is that so many love sugar and so many sweets.
43:01And so they're constantly eating sweets and their downfall is that eventually that catches up with them.
43:06And then they are prone to highly prone to like type two diabetes later in life because of that.
43:11And then that can quickly turn into some chronic health issues which then start showing up later in life.
43:17So just an F Y I to look out for that if you are one of those sweet tooth libras that is just something to monitor and keep an eye on.
43:25Not, not more than necessary, right?
43:29Having a sweet treat here and there is perfectly fine but make sure it's not something you're doing way too often on top of that.
43:35So your son in Libra is, your son is like your vital force, your life battery if you will, right?
43:41Libra rules the kidneys rules the ovaries and it rules the general like balances in the body.
43:46So like the acid alkaline balance, the electrolyte balance and the hormone balance, especially for women because it does rule the ovaries.
43:53It's ruled by Venus usually.
43:54So obviously, we would much prefer to be in Venus, but be and sun is actually a pretty decent placement for most people because like I said, the vitality is really good there.
44:03But here I do see that there is an increased possibility for, as I said, that love of sugar because it's ruled by Venus and Venus is the planet of like sweethearts and sweets and love.
44:11And it likes that.
44:13Torus is also ruled by Venus and they have the same issue sometimes with having that sweet tooth.
44:17So it's just a very common thing that I see with Venusian planets placements.
44:22I do see too and a lot of times in displacement is a huge dislike of exercise if they have to go and do it alone that you much prefer group classes or something where they have a buddy that comes with them.
44:33If they have to do it at all, leavers would much prefer to just stay inside and not do exercise at all if it was up to them because it's not fun and I don't blame them.
44:41A lot of exercises are not fun.
44:44Kidney issues can be a problem because they do rule the kidneys and an imbalance in the acid alkaline as well as ovarian problems, mostly PC OS that I see there.
44:55They can be prone to acne and this can be due to a kidney insufficiency though acne is also common with certain Scorpio placements because Scorpio rules the colon.
45:07And so if you're having a colon that's not functioning as well as it should, some of those metabolic waste products that are supposed to be pushing out can build up and that can lead to a reflex of acne on the face.
45:19So another thing to hear is that libras in this son placement are very strongly influenced by their partners in life.
45:26And if they pick the wrong partner, that toxicity in that relationship will bleed into their physical health, it can cause a lot of health problems.
45:34And when I have a consult with the Libra where I see a lot of like crazy health problems happening.
45:39I always ask, hey, what's your relationship like with your life partner?
45:43What's good going on in that?
45:44And a lot of times leaving that relationship fixes all of their health problems because it's not a physical problem.
45:51It's that, you know, kind of, again, spiritual enlightenment kind of psychosomatic issue that's happening because they are very strongly influenced by the emotions and energy of their partners.
46:03So picking wisely for Libras is very imperative.
46:07Of course, of course, we all make mistakes, especially because, you know, we're humans and it happens.
46:12But just know that that's something to look out for.
46:17for those listening, I'm assuming you don't have that problem at all.
46:21I picked, I picked a good one.
46:25Good.
46:26I I'm glad to hear that because yeah, I did not the first time around, but my second time around has been amazing.
46:31So yes, it's definitely possible to to come back from a bad first one if you did.
46:39So moon and Sagittarius, the moon is the distributor of the vital force that you receive from the sun.
46:44So the sun is like the battery and the moon is like the wiring that takes that vital force to all of our body parts.
46:50So when it's in certain signs, that can be that it's very steady, it goes where it should, it does it in a very nice manner and other signs, it can be very erratic or sporadic.
46:59Yours isn't Sagittarius.
47:00Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign.
47:03So because of that, the vital force can be distributed a little erratically, but also like I said, it goes very up and out of the body.
47:11And so we really need to find ways to help keep that vital force inside of your body where we want it, right?
47:16Sagittarius rules the hips, the thighs and it rules the central nervous system with Gemini.
47:22And so I see a displacement a lot of times because the moon also is like our emotions, it governs our emotions and how we feel emotionally.
47:30Sagittarius moon placements have a lot of emotions that they have a hard time really dealing with.
47:38Sometimes they have a lot of anxiety.
47:40I see a lot of anxiety in this placement.
47:43I see a lot of panic attacks in certain individuals based on other things going on in their chart as well.
47:50Bouts of insomnia are really common here not being able to sit still, always needing to tap or move or do something which leads to not being able to sleep because laying still for too long.
48:01Just their body doesn't like.
48:02And I see a lot of people in this placement to love caffeine and drink a lot of it almost to excess, which again does not help that anxiety driven central nervous system that's constantly kind of overworked and over wrought in a Sagittarius placement.
48:17So good things to do here for a Sagittarius Moon is like yoga and tai chi practices like that, that help bring that life force back inside of you and keep it from going outward and herbs that we can use here to our skull cap and lemon balm.
48:33as well as wild oats.
48:34Those all work really fantastically for calming that very anxious r nervous system as well as helping individuals sleep because it calms racing brains, which a lot of Sagittarius placements have.
48:47Your rising is in cancer, this is your soul, this is who you really kind of are at your core.
48:52But also how people perceive you when you go out into the world.
48:55And so a lot of people see you potentially as like a very nurturing, caring individual who's kind of motherly.
49:01And so you will be the type of person that will have random strangers completely coming up to you and telling you their whole life story and feeling like venting to you about stuff that is really none of your business because you don't even know this person.
49:13Very T M I stuff.
49:14Right.
49:15That, that went too, for sure.
49:18Yeah, I see that a lot with cancer ris my husband's a cancer rising and he gets this all the time.
49:23He's like this person just walked up to me and started telling me all that.
49:26I, I don't even know why.
49:27And I'm like, it's your cancer rising placement.
49:29I'm sorry.
49:30So, in this placement, I do see the need to lean more into your, the opposite side of Capricorn, which is ruled by Saturn and is all about boundaries and setting up some boundaries, either physical or even emotional and energetic boundaries to keep some of these people at bay since your energy levels are very important and cancer has a hard time hanging on to those energy levels sometimes because they are constantly, like people come up to them and constantly being kind of like energy vampires, even if they don't mean to be right.
50:00Cancer rules the stomach, it rules the MCU brains in general and it co rules the uterus with Scorpio.
50:06It's ruled by the moon.
50:08And so it's very very much a water sign and it has a lot of issues with stomach,, stomach issues.
50:22They're one of the signs that are very sensitive to medications.
50:25, they're the kind that have a list of allergies a mile long to foods, medications, environmental, because their bodies are just very sensitive because they're ruled by the moon and the moon is our emotions.
50:35And so it's a very sensitive sign and in turn, at least to a very sensitive body.
50:40So just knowing that is a possibility and not to be feeling bad about it or upset that your body is that leaning more into like the holistic and homeopathic remedies for things is actually really good here so that your body doesn't get overwhelmed and cause more problems down the road.
50:57I do see a lot of dryness here, which is weird because it is a water sign which then leads to digestive issues, which then can lead to having colon issues and things like that, which then lead to nutritional deficits because there's not enough moisture in the digestive tract to absorb nutrition that you're intaking properly.
51:17And so because of that, that can lead to a lot of these sensitivities and food allergies because everything's too dry.
51:23So water, water, water, water, water, water loss of water with electrolytes is super important for cancer placements.
51:30Your Scorpio, I sorry, your SAT is in Scorpio.
51:33I talked about earlier.
51:34Scorpio rules, the colon elimination pathways in the uterus with cancer and it co rule the reproductive system of both males and females.
51:47It's ruled by Mars.
51:48So it's kind of doesn't like being in Saturn because Saturn is the opposite of MARS.
51:53And we see here, like I said, endometriosis is good.
51:56heavy incidence here, heavy periods, no periods which is, you know, the opposite of what we would like.
52:02, dysmenorrhea, so painful, really painful periods are really common here in this placement.
52:09I see individuals that are very, either constipated or have the opposite where they have like Crohn's, which is like an inflammatory bowel issue which again is caused by that reflex too, wherever Scorpio, wherever Saturn is reflexing.
52:25And so here I see that there can be a possibility of those things.
52:30either happening down the road or just occurring in general.
52:35So it's always good to watch out for that and then to help make sure it doesn't happen.
52:40Fermented foods and drinks are a great thing to incorporate into your diet daily.
52:45making sure you're having a very high nutrient dense whole foods diet is really good.
52:50And then because Saturn does have a hard time in the placement with holding on to necessary minerals, doing cell salts to increase those mineral stores in your body is always a great thing to do here and that placement as well.
53:03And then your mars is in Virgo does not like being here either because it is an earth sign and Mars is a hot fiery planet in medical astrology.
53:10It's hotter than the sun.
53:11So it's very inflammatory.
53:13It's very drying.
53:14And Virgo is a mutable earth sign and it is very dry earth sign.
53:19Way more than the other two are signs.
53:21And so because of that in this placement, I see a lot of liver issues where there's like trapped heat in there.
53:27And that leads to digestion issues, which then leads to other issues which you know, causes the whole cascade.
53:33And so a lot of like cooling, bitter remedies are perfect here for someone with this placement.
53:38I have the same placement.
53:39So I get it because I need the same thing.
53:42Dale root, burdock root, skull cap, li balm and oats are all great here for that.
53:48to keep that trapped heat out of there.
53:50And it also can lend to a really dry digestive system, especially the small intestine because Virgo rules the liver, it rules the pancreas, the gallbladder.
53:59It co rules with Capricorn and it rules the first part of the small intestine.
54:03And so we can see a lot of dryness in there and you do the most absorbing of your nutrients that you intake in the small intestine.
54:11And so because of that, if that's very dry and not working properly, you're gonna see some nutritional deficits eventually cropping up, which lead to problems down the road.
54:21So overall, I do see a potential for down the road, potentially female hormone and reproductive system issues, potentially occurring if you know, we don't get those mineral stores up and make sure you're intaking those nutrients that are ruled by the sun, especially,, with that Saturn placement being so close to your son in the chart and liver issues are definitely a possibility here as well.
54:47And then diabetes because unfortunately, Virgo is really prone to diabetes as well, especially in that, in that mars placement.
54:53So just keeping an eye on like your diet and your nutrition and that liver, which helps process hormones and your pancreas and working on making sure as hard as it is that you get some exercise daily cause that movement also is very good for your body in keeping those things at bay.
55:10And I think that will keep the majority of things from cropping up for you in the future.
55:17Wow.
55:18Thank you so much for, for telling me all of that.
55:21, that was so in depth and I'm, I'm gonna have to like go back and re-watch this and, and soak it all up.
55:29But it's what really stuck out to me.
55:31It's interesting is uterus kept coming up and then at the end you said reproductive issues and I've had quote unquote unexplained infertility, which I think is b si don't think anything is unexplained, right?
55:41There's an explanation for unexplained now.
55:44Yeah.
55:45But it took us seven or seven years to get pregnant and like so many,, fertility treatment.
55:51So, but that Saturn placement in Scorpio.
55:54That's, yeah, that's a huge.
55:57So, what,, what's a good remedy for that?
56:00Like, what can I do?
56:01A lot of times?
56:03Oh, because I do.
56:05This is like my thing.
56:06Right.
56:06Helping women with hormones.
56:07It's my J M, I've helped so many people get pregnant and so much fun.
56:10It's my favorite part of my job.
56:13A lot of times especially with this placement that you have with that, that Saturn placement in Scorpio and it's so close to your son.
56:20And this is very common for a lot of women because so many women, unfortunately, by societal conditioning have been trying all kinds of fat diets because, you know, we're not,, if we're not skinny, there's something wrong with us.
56:34And that leads to a lot of, you know, nutritional deficits throughout your life that don't get fixed also.
56:42For some reason, there's this thing going around that low fat diets are, you know, the only way to lose weight for a lot of people.
56:49So they stick on a low fat diet, which as a woman, we need lot, we need a certain percentage of fat in our bodies to be able to get pregnant.
56:57Our bodies will not allow us to get pregnant if we're too low.
56:59A lot of times because they know we don't have the stores to like sustain a pregnancy.
57:04So low fat diets can again cause that because then we can't store properly.
57:07Vitamin A vitamin E and vitamin D, all of which are imperative for making sure that we not only can get pregnant, but we can maintain a pregnancy long term.
57:17And so those stores get low and that causes it.
57:21So, so many of my clients I really see are just really low in vitamin A, vitamin E copper if you were low in copper, for getting pregnant is very, very hard.
57:30So when I'm looking at a chart, I look to see where Venus is placed because it rules vitamin E and copper which are to very necessary h vitamins and minerals for getting pregnant and maintaining a pregnancy.
57:42I look where their son placement is and what's around it to see if anything is impeding their body's absorption of vitamin A, vitamin D magnesium and iodine cause you need iodine as well to at proper levels to help your body produce proper amounts of hormones so that you can get pregnant and maintain a pregnancy.
57:58And if your magnesium levels are low and in your case, you have Mars and Virgo.
58:03So your liver is probably struggling to store things where it stores all the B vitamins.
58:08You need magnesium and vitamin B six together at the same time to produce progesterone.
58:12If you don't produce high enough levels of progesterone, you will not be able to maintain a pregnancy for more than like, probably a week or two and will lead to a lot of miscarriages.
58:21Or in some cases is the body won't even allow you to get pregnant because it knows it can't maintain the pregnancy past the first couple of weeks.
58:27, bodies are amazing, very amazing things and they know what they're doing and if they don't have exactly what they need, they will prevent so much from happening.
58:37So they don't wind up in a position where they're having to leach minerals from your bones and your teeth and you know, causing harm to the mother as well to cause they're, when once you get pregnant, the body prioritizes your fetus over you and it will take what it needs from you, which then links to more health problems down the road.
58:55So honestly, I looking at your chart, my first thing when we, if we had worked together would have been to get your vitamin ad E up to get your magnesium and your iodine levels where they need to be and really work on making sure that you were getting plenty of nutrient dense foods with all those minerals so that your body had the stores that it needed to be able to not only create the proper amounts of hormones, but also to maintain a pregnancy for you so that you would have been able to, you know, get pregnant.
59:23They don't have to go through any miscarriages which can be devastating.
59:26So, yeah, thank you.
59:29That's, that's all really interesting.
59:31I've, I've worked with my best friend's husband.
59:33He actually was on the podcast too.
59:35He's a functional medicine doctor.
59:37So we worked for years to make sure all my levels are great.
59:41They get tested all the time.
59:43Our issue was during I V F, everything went perfect.
59:48Like we were like ahead of the curve at like every check box, then every embryo was chromosomally abnormal.
59:57Every single one and our doctor over and over again and our doctor was like, I've never seen this before.
1:00:03So it's, it's just interesting.
1:00:05Yeah, I've, I've Yeah, so I, yeah, that's a, that is what I've not heard of either.
1:00:13That is, yeah, that's kind of crazy but not, yeah, definitely not common.
1:00:19I'm sorry for that because that's rough that it is what it is.
1:00:24But anyway, we are, we went a little bit over.
