Trying! (CHES) A Science-Based Plan to Optimize Your Fertility

Trying! (CHES) A Science-Based Plan to Optimize Your Fertility

A Science-Backed Plan Optimize Fertility

This course is only for CHES practitioners.

Help your patients get pregnant faster with this science-backed fertility optimization guide—featuring breakthrough strategies from 400+ medical studies that increase conception rates by addressing root causes, not just symptoms. Through proven success with her clients, private practitioner and author, Rachel Swanson, MS, RDN, LDN reveals the preventive medicine approach to fertility.

Most women trying to conceive get generic advice: "eat healthy," "take prenatal vitamins," and "just relax," but fertility isn't one-size-fits-all. Your unique biology—including hormones, microbiome, metabolic function, and more—holds the key to conception. This evidence-based guide shows you and your partner how to optimize every system in your bodies to dramatically improve your chances of getting pregnant, whether trying naturally, struggling with PCOS, or preparing for IVF.

Discover how to:

  • Optimize egg and sperm quality, as well as ovarian function, through targeted nutrition and supplement protocols
  • Prepare your body for IVF success with evidence-based pre-treatment optimization
  • Reduce miscarriage risk and set the foundation for a healthier pregnancy
  • Identify hidden fertility blockers through key biomarkers most doctors miss
  • Personalize your fertility diet based on your unique hormonal profile and metabolic needs
  • Eliminate toxins and hormone disruptors from your environment that accelerate reproductive aging
