We were one of the first to trial the newly designed Foundations of Fertility program. We’d been trying for two years with no luck and even though we already changed our diet I still wanted to give it a try because I didn’t want IVF. I found the food changes hard but Mick kept encouraging me to stick with it and followed the diet himself too which made it easier because we didn’t buy the foods we couldn’t eat – like bread!! The overall plan was pretty easy to follow, I enjoyed the daily letters which gave me hope. After four months we conceived and now we have about 4 weeks to delivery. So far so good!

Hi Brendan, here’s my feedback. Your program suited me perfectly, a drip feed of daily letters helped me bite off the parts I needed to do in small chunks. I had three failed IVF rounds and we were nearly broke and emotionally drained. I never read any kind of mindset books in my life so I found some of that stuff strange but actually it really helped me tune into myself, which as you said in the program, felt quite empowering. The guided meditations which you send later caused me to cry a lot, but I really needed this and I think it’s probably the part of the program that I remember most. I hardly remember any issues making the diet changes – I just did it and it was fine – I’m still eating the same way now. Little Jake was born by cesarean but he’s fine and babbling away now. I treasure him every moment.

I joined the Foundations of Fertility program after a miscarriage and two years of unexplained infertility. The lifestyle habits section—sleep schedules, cosmetic changes, more walking, quitting alcohol, and changing my food—did feel a little bit overwhelming at first but it helped when you gave me ‘permission’ to pace myself slower during the Q&A. I did eventually notice how these small changes made me feel healthier and more in control. Pregnancy hasn’t happened for me yet 8 months later, but my cycle is slowly normalising so I’m still hopeful at 43. The program’s holistic approach, along with reading your book, gave me a better sense of purpose and of being on an ongoing journey. I’m a lot more positive about myself, and hopefully I’ll be able to send you a happy ending story at some stage. Thanks Brendan.

After trying for 2 1/2 years and feeling heartbroken I couldn't believe it when I conceived three months into your program. I believe it was fully going off soy foods, vegetable oils, and sugar, as well as taking all of the supplements you recommended, that made the big difference to me. I really couldn't believe how much better I was feeling within two months and then on my next cycle I got a positive test. I think you said we were one of the easy ones, but it still feels like a long hard road I was on and I'm really glad I'm off it now. I was losing hope. I only used the questions and answers part of the program a few times but I got some really useful answers each time. We know it's a girl, and I'm excited but also terrified at the idea of giving birth. I'll let you know how it goes.
