Episode #27: Navigating Infertility and Intuitive Eating Through IVF with Susan Portz, MS, RDN
I sat down with Susan Portz, who is a Registered Dietitian, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and IVF sister. Susan is passionate about helping women navigate their fertility journey with compassion & without guilt or unnecessary diet restrictions.
