Your Infertility Specialist

Do you ever say “I wish I lived closer” so Kristen could help me manage my health concerns? Did you know I have been in private practice for 24 years? I offer Functional Medicine for patients who don’t live within driving distance of my private practice. Functional medicine is a systems, biology–based, approach that focuses on identifying and addressing another way to get
to the root cause of disease. TCM is brilliant at root cause disease identification and I am able to interpret your labs 🧪 with that lens, simplifying your approach to health. In other words, I don’t
prescribe 20 individual things to take- thank goodness! Who can take all of that consistently? We test as often or as infrequently as you like. We check in monthly to track improvements and heal your body.
Top 10 things I treat:
Infertility + Miscarriage Prevention
Painful periods in teens and women
PMS + PMDD
Stubborn Weight Problems
Anxiety + Depression
Headaches + Migraines
Menopausal Challenges
Hormonal Imbalance
Gastrointestinal Problems Crohns IBS
Difficult Skin Issues acne, rashes, brown spots
Auto-Immune Conditions
Diseases that don’t respond well to drugs or have too many side-effects

We have heartbeat! One of our darling infertility and miscarriage patients tragically has had two miscarriages in one year and had never even heard a heartbeat. After seeking our expertise she and her husband heard their baby's heartbeat this week! We are so happy for you and look forward to continuing to support you throughout this pregnancy.

"Loving your baby does not mean that you have forgotten the child you lost. Children want their parents to be happy and fulfilled, so finding happiness and being open to joy with your new baby is one of the greatest ways you can honor your baby's memory."

Cervical mucus is a major part of trying to conceive. Here are 6 things you can try to make your CM more fertile!

Cervical mucus (CM) is a major part of trying to conceive (TTC). It helps you chart your fertility during your cycle, and it helps those little swimmers get to where they need to go to fertilize those eggs.

Another amazing, miracle, over 40 pregnancy announcement!!

Female known factor including: 41 years old, PCOS, multiple miscarriages, one year of trying unsuccessfully, one blocked tube, but only two months in our infertility enhancement program and they are expecting! This is so exciting and beyond all expectations they had for our program to work with no surgery, no fertility drugs, no IVF necessary. Congratulations!

Telemedicine success all the way from Texas! 🥰

We have a baby who is due this spring and it's all due to our telemedicine infertility, secondary infertility, and miscarriage prevention program.

This lovely lady followed another one of our patients on social media who had given birth after being told she had less than 5% chance of her IVF working. This woman is 40 years old, had unexplained infertility and for years could not get and stay pregnant. She suffered through two terrible miscarriages and even consulted with an IVF specialist.

Her IVF doctor told her she "just didn't think she had any good eggs left and IVF is your only option." She said "Well, I have one more phone call to make before we go that route." She set up her telemedicine appointment with us across the entire country and we customized what she was to take before getting pregnant.

She is now expecting her baby girl in September! We are so thrilled you followed our other patient's success and had the courage to call us. No IVF needed and all remote telemedicine for this over 40 secondary and repeated miscarriage success. ❤️

We take the most challenging infertility cases in the U.S. near and far with local patients and telemedicine patients alike. We treat male infertility, unexplained infertility, repeated miscarriage and even blocked fallopian tubes.

We have had many successful pregnancies in women how previously had blocked fallopian tubes. Similar to male factor infertility, the one good thing about blocked fallopian tubes: it's easy to track your progress with tests. We often suggest after 3-4 months in our infertility program that tests are performed again to prove your increased fertility and help you to feel even more confident in your progress. Some patients can't wait that long and test even earlier.

This patient had gone through 3 years of trying to conceive only to find out that her tubes were most likely blocked. Saline hysterogram is also referred to as a saline infused hysterosalpingogram, a saline infused sono-hysterosalpingogram or an HSG. It is a procedure to check for tubal patency in case of infertility. This procedure was quite painful and it confirmed their suspicions.

She sought out our expertise to try and open her fallopian tubes. After one month of potent herbal medicine, acupuncture with electrical stimulation she had a new HSG performed and her tubes were completely open and she had no pain whatsoever during the procedure. We are excited to see what the next few months of trying produce for this wonderful patient who has waited a long time for good news. 🥰

Can you imagine having to wait 14 years to meet your child?

Perseverance and grace just exude from this woman. This beautiful woman has gone through it all. With PCOS and endometriosis her first pregnancy loss was back in 2008. She and her husband suffered through 5 more pregnancy losses and two failed IVF cycles (in-vitro fertilization).

They reached out to us for help. With our preparation before this IVF round they had the results they have been waiting for nearly a decade and a half. We continued to support her throughout her pregnancy to help her get to full term and she did it! We are beyond ecstatic to welcome this sweet, baby boy into our world this week.

Congratulations on his birth and may you and his life be blessed beyond measure. We thank you for sharing your intimate story of loss, determination and ultimately the pure joy of giving birth to a healthy baby boy that in turn helps to restore hope in others who are traveling a similar, difficult path. ❤️
