The Method Really Works

The approach I advocate in the book is based on the scientific principles of optimising human cellular health. It is honed by 15 years of real world experience helping couples overcome infertility, and it works for the majority of those who follow it. 

A few encouraging messages from past clients...
"I highly recommend Brendan to anyone - we were 6 years trying and had as many rounds of IVF.  Brendan found the missing jigsaw piece in my genetics, I still don't understand what it meant despite detailed explanations (sorry Brendan!), but once we addressed it with a combination of herbs and supplements and all the other stuff you do on his programs - I woke up one day and the stick was blue.  I cried tears of joy so hard that day I'll never forget it.  Thank you for everything!"

“I moved to Dubai from Ireland over a decade ago and straight away my health took a turn.  There's no fresh local food here, it's all flown in, so I got used to packaged food.  I met Donal and married here but we just couldn't manage to get pregnant and none of the local doctors could tell us why.  I tried Clomid, progesterone, prenatal vitamins, acupuncture, abdominal massage, relaxation - everything - nothing worked.  I knew another Irish therapist who suggested Brendan.  On his program I discovered I wasn't ovulating every month AND was getting dates wrong too.  After the program I was having regular periods with ovulation - and got pregnant 4 months after that.  You'd think as a nurse I'd have known more about my cycles!! 🙂

"I was surprised when Brendan emailed me asking for a testimonial because I was one of the people who couldn't get pregnant, but I'll tell you straight I got such peace of mind from following the entire program because I know in my heart we really tried.  It's hard to explain if you haven't done the program but I know I would have been in pieces, stressed out and sad over not being able to have a baby, but I can accept it much better now because I understand myself a lot better.  If you just can't get pregnant - stop wasting time and get on the program, you won’t regret it - I don't."

Important Disclaimer

The book lays out a framework for understanding and addressing the root cause of infertility in a scientific and wholistic way which honours each woman’s unique situation.

There are no guaranteed solutions to the problem, but the approach I advocate helps you appreciate the driving factors behind infertility and empowers you to implement foundational changes in your diet and lifestyle that significantly improve your odds of success and reduce the odds of undernutrition in the baby.

Now and again I express my opinion on certain medical approaches, but the book does not contain nor contradict medical advice, nor is it diagnostic in any way.

What's On Offer?

The soft copy of my new book, Getting Pregnant When The Body Says No, How Women Can Overcome Infertility, is on sale here for €12.

After purchasing, you will be sent both PDF and Kindle formatted copies of the book so it can be read on a laptop or on an e-reader like Kindle.

The goal of the book is to help you get pregnant naturally and have the healthy baby you dream of.

It explains the driving factor behind most cases of functional infertility and lays out a viable path for helping your body resolve the problem naturally.

What's In the Book?

The book outlines the thinking process I use to help my female clients overcome infertility so they can get pregnant naturally, or improve their chances of getting pregnant with IVF, and it is divided into 4 parts.

Part 1 unpacks the main conditions associated with infertility and explains the unifying factor behind them all thus giving you a clear target to aim at.

Part 2 talks about the solution. Only once you understand the problem you will realise why the solution that I propose in the book makes the most sense, and why other solutions on their own are hit and miss.

Part 3 explains why people have difficulty implementing the solutions and offers ideas for tackling that internal resistance to change which we all suffer from.

Part 4 is designed for those of you who struggle with deeper problems. It is for those of you who feel stuck or a bit lost in life generally, and are unable to fully commit to the journey.

This book is the synthesis of what I’ve learned over the last 15 years helping couples with infertility to have healthy babies.

I explain why infertility arises as in a woman’s body and offer practical solutions to address the root causes.

I go into s small amount of technical detail but I in an easily accessible way, so you don’t need any background in health, biology, or nutrition to follow the story.

My aim is to provide you with a unified framework that helps you understand why you have infertility and what you can do to significantly increase your odds of a successful pregnancy.

My hope is that this book helps you take stock of your current approach and helps you recognise any glaring omissions in your plan.

It just might supply the missing jigsaw piece you’ve been looking for which finally clinches the deal and allows you to have that precious baby you dream of.

My Personal Thoughts

It’s important to me that you know this book is not about suggesting easy-answers or silver bullet solutions to complex infertility problems, nor is it a long list of things you should try in the hope one will work, as so many other books on the topic are. Implementing the ideas in the book will take time and focussed effort, but no time is wasted because the process is cumulative. Each step you take helps to strengthen the very foundation of biology in your body on which fertility rests, and nature does the rest.  

The principles laid out in this book work for all kinds of functional infertility from polycystic ovarian syndrome to endometriosis, from immune driven infertility to the frustratingly unexplained type, and anything in between.

It is not an exhaustive overview of medical reproductive options, which I believe are already well represented by the mainstream system. Instead it shares the systems-oriented natural approach to restoring fertility that I employ with my clients, the majority of whom succeed.

If the student in you is ready to learn then the teacher in this book will definitely be able to help you – I really hope it does!

A few more encouraging words from past clients...

"Having been an athlete for years, and over-training (in hindsight), I developed hypothalamic amenorrhea and lost my period for 4 years.  Brendan helped me get it back and get pregnant.  I hate using drugs, so I liked the natural approach"

Hi Brendan yes I'm very happy to give you a review.  Hi everyone, I'm 39 and have twin girls now thanks to Brendan's fertility program.  I have had PCOS since I was 16, so does my mother and my aunt and my sister.  As a joke that will remain private until you actually do the program yourself - of course nobody really 'HAS' PCOS according to Brendan because you can't take it out and put it in a bucket. What you can do is understand it and manage it much better with the right tools and insights.  I'd read loads of books and blogs on it but the deep insights just weren't there.  The key is not to understand PCOS itself but to understand your body and how it deals with PCOS.  Once I tuned into it the biggest jigsaw piece fell into place and I literally returned my body to fertility naturally.  It was hard - very hard at times, but the support throughout wasn't just amazing - it was inspiring and it kept me going through umpteen disappointments.  Love and hugs from the four of us"

Thank's for everything Brendan, you annoyed me many times on the program with your insights about my habits - I really wanted to shout at you in anger sometimes, but it all melted away when I got pregnant - for the rest of my life I'll never forget that moment.  You have such an unusual way of operating and I'm such a stubborn b*t%h I really think no one else could have got me there.  Eric says hi - he's been talking for over a year now!

In Summary

Getting Pregnant When The Body Says No is the culmination of my ongoing search for answers to the question – why are so many women experiencing infertility?

The book is an overview of the process I use to help women untangle problems in their biology so they can go on to have a successful pregnancy, usually against the clock.

It provides a framework for understanding the different ways infertility manifests in different people and lays out a series of steps anyone can take to restore fertility in their body whether the reason for it is known or unexplained.

For the last 15 years I’ve worked with women in the 30-to-45-year age bracket who are struggling to conceive or to maintain a healthy pregnancy. 

Had I been unable to have children of my own it would have broken something deep within me, and seeing the anguish of those who cannot start their own family provoked me to commit myself to figuring out answers. I have worked on nothing else ever since.

I hold a master’s degree in the science of Personalised Nutrition, and a Practice Diploma in Nutritional Therapy.  I also teach nutrition therapy principles and supervise clinical training at the International Institute of Nutrition & Health (IINH). I take continuous training in Functional Endocrinology and Nutritional Immunology.

I live in Limerick, Ireland with my wife Siobhán, our three children Ethan, David, and Kara-Maria, along with four dogs and a flock of hens!
