Guest Bio Erica Hoke is an Author, Publisher, Infertility Mentor & Empowerment Coach who's on a mission to empower infertility patients and disrupt the reproductive medical system. At 35, Erica was told she had less than a 1% chance of ever conceiving naturally after struggling for years with endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR - so she refused to participate in traditional IVF or IUI methods and instead committed to getting to the bottom of her infertility issues via diet, lifestyle changes and traditional Chinese medicine. Today this fierce mom of four shares her inspiring story as a means to give hope to those still seeking a family through alternate paths. Through her free support group, group coaching opportunities and one-on-one sessions Erica mentors’ others through their own journeys while teaching them how to collaborate with their doctors in order to systematically address their obstacles before pursuing invasive and expensive treatments. For those who have battled and overcome infertility, Erica offers an opportunity to heal through book collaborations and the sharing of their stories - all in the hopes of helping others on their journeys.
