“After the Health YOUniversity program, I am currently 19 weeks pregnant with our son and living a much healthier lifestyle.”
“I learned a lot about what disrupts your hormones, which I was unaware of, to be honest. I mean, down to cleaning products and nail polish.”
“I don't think doctors really go into the detail that Susan does. And it's just such a great feeling with the unknown on the front end for years and then to do what we did.”
The interview
What was your situation before starting with Health Youniversity?
Five months ago I was struggling with infertility. Before working with Susan, I had to overcome the unknown of PCOS and what I even needed to do or what I needed to change in order to get pregnant. There was really nowhere to start; I had started with a primary doctor and gotten a few recommendations, and none of those had been successful just yet.
What specific tools and methods did Susan implement for you?
I assumed it would just be a weekly acupuncture appointment, but she implemented red light therapy, the TEAS machine, which cycle tracker to use, the Oura ring, and diet books to research. By pivoting my lifestyle, I learned a lot about what disrupts your hormones, down to cleaning products and nail polish.
How did the education on PCOS change your perspective?
It was really just being aware. It was being aware of what PCOS is doing to my body and what I was in control of and how much my diet and these hormone disruptors—and something as little as wearing a hair tie on my wrist—all went into how I felt and how my body would perform.
What surprised you most about working with Dr. Susan Fox?
What surprised me the most is the level of care. She is so supportive. When I had questions or my cycle looked like a roller coaster and I was feeling defeated, I would email her and immediately, even at 8:00 at night, she would reach back out or take the time to explain it over the phone.
What are the results of your time in the program?
After the Health YOUniversity program, I am currently 19 weeks pregnant with our son and living a much healthier lifestyle. Not only are we pregnant, but it's just made for a healthier lifestyle all around. I feel more empowered as somebody who was able to get pregnant with PCOS in the timeframe that we did.
Why would you recommend this program to others with PCOS?
I wish that I could extend to everyone with PCOS and just say, Susan can do it for you. There are answers, there are ways around it, and it's just not talked about enough. I don't think doctors really go into the detail that Susan does. She wants it for you more than you want it for yourself.
Frequently asked
Can lifestyle changes really help with PCOS infertility when doctors haven't?
Yes, Danielle Shalavi found that while her primary doctor's recommendations were unsuccessful, Health Youniversity provided specific education on hormone disruptors in cleaning products and diet that allowed her to take control of her body and get pregnant.
What kind of support does Dr. Susan Fox provide during the fertility journey?
Danielle highlights an 'irreplaceable' level of care, noting that Susan would respond to emails as late as 8:00 PM to explain confusing cycle tracking data and offer emotional support when Danielle felt defeated.
Is Health Youniversity just about acupuncture for fertility?
No, Danielle initially assumed it would be weekly acupuncture, but the program included red light therapy, TENS machines, Oura ring tracking, specific diet books, and education on removing environmental toxins like nail polish and hair ties.
