  <description>In this episode, we're diving into the sperm theory (aka the Shettles Method) — can timing sex really influence your baby's gender? I’m sharing our gender reveal, how my friend Bri survived keeping the secret for six whole days, and her hilarious reaction caught on audio. Plus, I explain how the sperm theory lined up with both of my pregnancies — no planning, just wild timing. This one’s a fun mix of "science", surprises, and real mom moments!
Here is another fun episode with Bri we recorded (https://podcast.pivotnutritioncoaching.com/62)
Here is the episode with the fertility dietitian Ana (https://podcast.pivotnutritioncoaching.com/12)
