The #1 question I get: ‘What actually happens when we work together?’

Here’s what the Fabulous Fertility Functional Fertility Container looks like:

✨ Comprehensive case review (not a 15-min consult) ✨ Personalized strategy created FOR YOUR BODY (not a one-size-fits-all protocol) ✨ Weekly live access to me for questions and guidance ✨ Labs explained in detail - what they mean, how they connect, what we do next ✨ Active oversight so nothing important is missed ✨ Adjustments as your body responds

This isn’t passive education. It’s active care.

Most of my clients have already done so much research. What they’re missing isn’t information- it’s someone to help them understand what actually applies to THEM and what to stop doing.

That’s what clinical discernment looks like after 25 years in practice.

I don’t care how you get pregnant. I care that both bodies are ready when it happens.

IVF is an incredible tool. But it bypasses structural barriers (blocked tubes, ovulation issues, low s***m count) - it doesn’t FIX egg quality, s***m quality, or uterine receptivity.

Success still depends on the cellular foundation of both partners.

What I see too often: → Couples jumping into treatment without optimizing both sides first → Focus on the METHOD (IVF vs. natural) instead of PREPARATION → $30K-$60K per cycle without asking ‘Are both of our bodies ready?’

Whether trying naturally, IUI, or IVF, outcomes depend on: ✅ Egg quality (mitochondrial health, chromosomal integrity) ✅ S***m quality (DNA fragmentation, motility, morphology) ✅ Uterine environment (inflammation, blood flow, receptivity) ✅ Metabolic health (blood sugar, insulin balance) ✅ Nutrient status (both partners)

The best outcomes? Couples who prepare BOTH bodies first, address root causes, THEN choose their route.

You don’t have to choose between natural and medical. You prepare both bodies, then use whatever method makes sense for YOUR situation.

The route to conception matters less than the preparation. Both sides. Every time.

‘Unexplained infertility’ just means they haven’t looked deep enough.

After 25 years in practice, here’s what I know: when standard testing says ‘everything’s normal’ but you’re still not pregnant, something important has been missed.

Standard fertility workups check: ✓ Are you ovulating? ✓ Are tubes open? ✓ Is s***m count adequate?

What they don’t evaluate: ❌ Inflammation aging your eggs ❌ Thyroid optimized for conception ❌ Gut health affecting hormone metabolism ❌ Immune imbalances preventing implantation ❌ Blood sugar disrupting cycles

Join my FREE webinar where I’ll cover: → The 5 hidden but addressable factors missed in conventional testing → How to spot overlooked imbalances in your hormones, gut, immune, or metabolic systems → Real case studies of women who conceived naturally after years of ‘unexplained’ results

You don’t need another plan. You need someone to help you understand what YOUR body needs.

After 25 years in practice, I can tell you: the biggest myth in fertility is that only your age determines your egg quality.

Your biological age - measured by inflammation, cellular health, nutrient status, and hormone balance - is what actually matters. And unlike your birthday, that’s modifiable.

If you’re over 35 and have been told ‘it’s just your age,’ that’s incomplete information. Your body has incredible capacity to heal and regenerate when given the right support.

Save this if you needed the reminder 💚

02/05/2026

Fertility over 35 is not defined by age alone.

Egg quality is shaped by cellular resilience, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and energy regulation. Longevity pathways like sirtuins help manage how cells respond to stress and aging at the molecular level.

Fertility is not only about time.
It is about how biology is aging at the cellular level.

02/01/2026

Your ovaries respond to energy signals, not just hormones.

mTOR is a growth and nutrient-sensing pathway that helps follicles and eggs develop. When energy and metabolic signals are balanced, growth happens appropriately. When they are constantly elevated, growth biology can shift into overdrive.

Egg quality is influenced by metabolic signaling, inflammation, insulin, and stress, not only hormone levels.

This is why functional fertility focuses on cellular balance, not stimulation.

01/24/2026

Most women are never told this, the egg you ovulate this month was being built over the last ~90 days.

That means egg quality is shaped before ovulation, not in the few days leading up to it.

Those weeks are when mitochondria are formed, chromosomes are organized, and the internal machinery of the egg is constructed.

This is the real egg quality window.

And it’s why supporting egg quality isn’t about “being healthy.” It’s about intentionally supporting the biology that builds the egg.

Egg quality work belongs before the next cycle, not after.

My free Supercharge Your Eggs workshop starts Monday. If you want to work inside this window and learn exactly how to support it, join us. Link in bio.

Supercharge Your Eggs Workshop is back!

Ready to truly support your fertility and egg quality? I’m hosting a FREE 5-day live experience and I’d love to have you there.

I’m excited to open the doors to Supercharge Your Eggs: the 5-Day Fertility Accelerator, a free event created specifically for women 35+ who want real, science-backed ways to optimize fertility, not surface-level tips. I go live all next week Jan 26-30th at 12 noon PT / 3pm ET.

This is for you if you want clarity, direction, and a deeper understanding of what actually moves the needle when it comes to egg quality, hormones, inflammation, and whole-body fertility support.

👉 Save your spot here:

Over these 5 days, we’ll be diving into:

🌿 Live daily trainings with clear, actionable steps you can start using right away
🌿 Practical strategies to support egg quality and reproductive health from the inside out
🌿 Daily prizes to keep things fun and motivating

Whether you’re early in your journey or you’ve been trying for a while, this event is designed to help you connect the dots, understand your body more deeply, and walk away with a real plan.
If you’re feeling called to take a more empowered role in your fertility, I’d love to support you inside this experience.

I can’t wait to spend these 5 days with you.

P.S. It’s completely free and packed with value. If fertility and egg quality are on your heart right now, this is a beautiful place to start.

Egg quality is not explained by age alone.
It is built at the cellular level, and mitochondria sit at the center of that story.
Your eggs are powered by thousands of mitochondria. These cellular engines drive maturation, division, and early embryo development. When mitochondrial function is supported, fertilization, embryo quality, and resilience can improve.

This is why real egg quality work focuses on cellular health, not forcing the ovaries.

Nutrition, inflammation, blood sugar stability, sleep, stress physiology, and micronutrients all speak directly to mitochondrial function.

Functional fertility is about strengthening the systems that build eggs, because when cellular capacity improves, reproductive outcomes can change.

01/22/2026

If egg quality were only about age, there would be nothing to work on.

But age is not a mechanism. Biology is.

Eggs develop inside follicles for months before ovulation. During that time, they are being shaped by glucose levels, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, inflammation, thyroid signaling, nutrient status, and nervous system input.

Which means the months before conception matter.

This is where real fertility work lives.

Not in forcing outcomes, but in improving the terrain the egg is developing in.

Because when you change the terrain, you change the conversation your cells are having.

And that is where fertility begins.

01/20/2026

Miscarriages. Failed IUIs. Failed IVF. Being told donor eggs are your only option can make it feel like your body is the problem.

But outcomes often change when the biology changes.

Egg quality is not only about how many eggs you retrieve. It is about the cellular environment your eggs are built in months before retrieval.

This is functional fertility.
Not forcing the ovaries, but changing the terrain that builds the eggs.

This is exactly what I teach inside my egg quality workshop beginning next week, link in my bio.
