Empowering women and couples for over 23 years to naturally optimize their fertility and take control of their journey.

Your ovaries don’t work in isolation. They respond to the whole environment of your body: stress, sleep, nutrition, blood sugar, and inflammation.

Every egg you’ll ovulate in about three months is already developing now. During that window, your body is constantly sending signals through hormones, cortisol, insulin, nutrients, and blood flow.

If you’re under-fueled or stressed, your ovaries read that as limited resources. When you’re nourished, rested, and supporting metabolic stability, they register safety and capacity.

That’s why functional fertility looks at the full system: thyroid and adrenal function, gut and liver pathways, mitochondrial health, and micronutrients.

If you’re not sure where to start, strategic testing shows what your body actually needs so you can stop guessing and create change that lasts.

The takeaway: egg quality reflects your overall vitality. Support the system, and your ovaries respond.

If you’ve experienced more than one pregnancy loss, please know - it’s not your fault.
There are often deeper root causes that deserve to be understood - from s***m DNA integrity to inflammation, microbiome balance, and hormonal rhythm.
Functional fertility means we don’t guess - we test, uncover, and restore the foundation for a stable, healthy pregnancy.
You’re not broken. You just need clarity, connection, and support.

The o***y is an ecosystem - and so is the rest of your body.

New UCSF research just confirmed what we’ve been teaching for years: fertility isn’t only about egg quality - it’s about the environment the egg develops in.
When blood flow, thyroid, metabolism, and inflammation are balanced, the o***y can actually do its job.

That’s why in functional fertility, we don’t chase quick fixes. We do a full-body workup to understand your unique ecosystem - so we can restore the conditions for healthy conception to happen.

Because when the body feels safe, nourished, and supported… fertility follows.

AMH isn’t your fate - it’s feedback.
When we support the system, not just the number, everything changes.

10/22/2025

Let’s talk about AMH - one of the most misunderstood numbers in fertility.
If you’ve been told your AMH is low, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But here’s the truth:
Outside of IVF, AMH is not the make-or-break number you’ve been led to believe.

AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) reflects how many follicles are active in your ovaries right now.
That’s why it’s helpful in IVF - it predicts how your ovaries might respond to medication.
But it doesn’t tell us whether your eggs are healthy, whether you’re ovulating, or whether you can get pregnant naturally.

Many women with low AMH conceive naturally.
Many with high AMH still struggle.
Because fertility isn’t one number - it’s a whole picture.

So if you’ve ever been told your AMH is “too low,” please know: it’s not game over.
There are so many things you can do that actually influence how your ovaries function and how your body ovulates.

10/21/2025

‘You’re fine’ isn’t good enough when you’re trying to conceive.

Low testosterone affects far more than s*x drive - it impacts s***m, mood, energy, confidence, and overall fertility.

Aim for optimal, not ‘within range.’

10/13/2025

Most people don’t realize it - but your oral microbiome and your s***m are connected.

Research shows gum disease and oral inflammation can actually affect s***m quality and even fertility.

So if you’re working on your reproductive health, don’t forget to check your dental health too.

This is not your average fertility info week. Each day, we’re diving deep into the overlooked, root-level strategies that can transform your fertility from the inside out - naturally.

Here’s what we’ll be covering this week:

🌡 Day 1: Ovulation & BBT Charting Made Easy
Learn how to decode your body’s signals - temps, cervical mucus, and more—so you’re not relying on apps that guess when you ovulate.

🧬 Day 2: Biological Age vs. Chronological Age
We’re talking egg quality, mitochondrial health, and how to reverse the clock at a cellular level.

🥦 Day 3: Fertility-Focused Nutrition
What to eat (and what to avoid) to support your hormones, reduce inflammation, and nourish high-quality eggs.

🧼 Day 4: Detox Pathways + Toxin Exposure
Let’s clear the clutter - environmental toxins and sluggish detox pathways could be silently impacting your cycle.

🧠 Day 5: Fertility Mindset Reset
Because this journey isn’t just physical - your thoughts, beliefs, and nervous system regulation matter.

🎁 Plus… PRIZES for participation all week long!

This is your week to take back control, reset your fertility, and get the real strategy your body’s been waiting for.

See you soon! 💛
