Get Pregnant Naturally

The functional approach to fertility focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying root causes of infertility. This contrasts with what we often see in conventional medicine, where providers make the diagnosis and throw a drug at it. 

Common Root Causes of Infertility

In our combined 20+ years of experience working as M.D.s and Institute of Functional Medicine Certified experts, we’ve seen most clients experience fertility challenges related to 1 or more of the following 3 root causes.

Nutritional Deficiencies

A study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology found that “Reproductive performance is definitely influenced by foods and type of nutrition. An unbalanced caloric and protein intake due to incorrect food consumption, responsible for severe under- or overweight, leads to alterations of the ovarian function with subsequent increase in infertility.”

Ovarian function is one of the many ways nutritional deficiencies can impact pregnancy. Click here to read our article about the top 5 nutrient deficiencies affecting women who want to conceive and how you can reverse them.

Hormonal Imbalances

Hormonal imbalances can impact fertility in various ways, including but not limited to ovulation disruptions, uterine lining thickening, or generally preventing a fertilized egg from getting established in the uterus.

Inflammation

Chronic inflammation can develop from factors like poor diet, stress, and smoking, in certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune disorders. In addition, inflammation affects fertility by damaging reproductive organs and negatively affecting sperm.

A functional medicine approach is a holistic approach to fertility that focuses on optimizing overall health and wellness, and as a result, is an effective way to uncover a lot of the blind spots that are missed in our traditional medical space and address the root causes we’ve discussed above. It’s about identifying and addressing the underlying root causes of infertility through lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, targeted supplementation, and individualized support.

We’ve developed a proprietary formula called the 4R Fertility Formula^TM, and we exclusively work with our clients using this formula. Here’s what your progression would look like should you choose to partner with us in one of our programs.

Reveal

This is the initial stage where we lay the foundations for success with our clients. Here we get a solid understanding of where you are at through using tools like BBT charting and functional lab testing. We use this information to formulate a customized action plan for you.

Release

This phase of our client work is all about detoxing your body and your life the right way. No fad diets, crash programs, or extreme lifestyle changes allowed! Instead, we lead you through a specific, food-based detox system and help you create lasting and sustainable changes in your diet and your habits to support your fertility.

Rebalance

Here, we continue optimizing your lifestyle for fertility. And we work on up-leveling your egg quality and supporting your partner to uplevel his sperm quality. Plus, if you have any underlying conditions impacting your ability to conceive, we continue to address the root cause so you can heal.

Receive

This stage is about helping you develop what we call a “fertile mindset.” Managing stress and living mindfully are significant keys to unlocking fertility, but they are rarely discussed in traditional medical settings. We take the opposite approach by addressing mindset throughout our work with our clients.

Implementing the 4R Fertility Formula^TM takes time and requires individualized support.
