Let’s talk about” functional fertility fitness” —physical and nutritional.

Dr. Susan chats with Arielle Creager, a Los Angeles-based personal trainer, certified nutritionist specialist candidate, and Nike LA trainer, who specializes in empowering pregnant and postpartum mothers through functional fitness and holistic nutrition.

Arielle’s personal health journey—overcoming chronic lung congestion through dietary changes when doctors couldn't find answers—sparked her passion for functional medicine and helping women optimize their bodies for conception, pregnancy, and for the rest of their lives.

Discover the essential movement patterns every woman should master before pregnancy, which lab tests to request from your doctor when trying to conceive, and why an anti-inflammatory diet is the foundation for fertility success. Arielle shares her own unexpected pregnancy journey, including a diagnosis of cervical insufficiency at 20 weeks that led to emergency cerclage surgery and her son's premature birth at 27 weeks.

Learn why strength training—especially core, pelvic floor, and glutes—can make all the difference in pregnancy outcomes, how to properly test for diastasis recti postpartum, and the overlooked connection between chronic dehydration and low energy.

This episode is essential for women preparing their bodies for conception, anyone navigating pregnancy complications, postpartum mothers rebuilding their strength, and healthcare providers who want to support holistic perinatal wellness.
