UPGRADE YOUR FERTILITY ECOSYSTEM™
This program delves deep into your reproductive health, supporting you whether you're preparing for conception, navigating fertility challenges, or seeking to optimize overall wellness.
BEGIN YOUR PREMESTER.
The premester is the vital time before conception
when a woman focuses on optimizing her fertility + overall health.
The Fertility Ecosystem™ program is designed to prepare your body for pregnancy by optimizing every aspect of your health and lifestyle. Research shows that the 'premester'—the critical phase before conception—shapes both maternal and fetal health. This program goes beyond risk reduction, focusing on nourishing your body with essential nutrients, balancing hormones, and addressing stress and underlying health conditions. Studies indicate that these preconception strategies can enhance not only fertility but also your baby’s cellular health, genetic expression, and lifelong vitality.
By taking proactive, evidence-based steps before conception, you create an optimal environment for your baby’s development, supporting their overall well-being and giving them the healthiest possible start in life.

FOUNDATIONS OF WELLNESS
At the heart of the Fertility Ecosystem™ are four essential pillars that form the foundation of your reproductive wellness.
VITALITY
Fertility requires abundant physical and emotional energy. To build this, we focus on enhancing your body’s cellular health, increasing mitochondrial function, and reducing systemic inflammation, which can be a barrier to conception. Mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells, play a critical role in egg quality and energy production, and research shows that mitochondrial function declines with age and under oxidative stress. We'll work on improving vitality through nutritional interventions, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle changes.
HARMONY
Hormonal balance is critical for reproductive health. Irregular cycles, PCOS, and other hormonal disruptions are common, but they don’t have to be a barrier. We’ll dive deep into your hormone health, using integrative strategies to bring your body into balance. Scientific research underscores the importance of stable insulin levels, stress hormones (like cortisol), and thyroid function for reproductive success. Together, we’ll create a personalized strategy to regulate hormones naturally, supporting regular ovulation and a healthy luteal phase.
ADAPTABILITY
Stress is one of the most significant factors affecting fertility, and your body’s ability to adapt to stress is crucial. Chronic stress can disrupt ovulation, lower progesterone, and impact egg quality. We’ll focus on building your body’s resilience through stress management techniques like mindfulness, breathwork, and adaptogenic herbs, which have been shown in studies to modulate the stress response, lower cortisol levels, and protect reproductive health.
RESILIENCE
Fertility is a journey that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Resilience is about building mental and physical strength for the long haul. We’ll help you develop coping strategies to maintain equilibrium through both the ups and downs of your fertility journey. Studies show that resilience-building practices, such as mindfulness, social support, and regular movement, can improve mental health outcomes and may even enhance fertility.
DESIGN YOUR PRECONCEPTION LIFESTYLE
A HOLISTIC LENS
After establishing the foundation, we’ll turn to optimizing the physical components of fertility through evidence-based, practical strategies. Each of these areas is examined through both a functional and holistic perspective to ensure they are working in synergy with your overall reproductive goals.
SLEEP
Sleep is critical for hormone regulation, particularly melatonin and cortisol, which play roles in reproductive health. Research suggests that melatonin not only regulates sleep cycles but also protects eggs from oxidative stress. We’ll work on optimizing your sleep quality and circadian rhythm through lifestyle interventions and, when necessary, natural supplements.
FOOD + DIGESTION
Nutrition is foundational to fertility, but the way your body processes nutrients is just as important. We’ll focus on nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods that are known to support reproductive health—such as healthy fats (omega-3s), high-quality protein, and a rainbow of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants. We'll also work on optimizing gut health, as studies have linked gut dysbiosis to hormonal imbalances and inflammation that can hinder fertility.
DETOXIFICATION
The body’s natural detox pathways, including the liver and lymphatic system, play a crucial role in hormone regulation. Research shows that environmental toxins (such as endocrine disruptors) can impair reproductive function. We’ll enhance your detoxification processes through liver-supportive herbs, hydration, and dietary practices that promote the elimination of toxins that could negatively affect your fertility.
IMMUNITY + INFLAMMATION
Chronic, low-grade inflammation is a silent but powerful factor in fertility challenges. Inflammation affects egg quality, uterine health, and implantation. We'll work on reducing inflammatory markers by addressing potential food sensitivities, gut health, and oxidative stress while supporting your immune system with anti-inflammatory nutrients and lifestyle interventions.
HORMONES
From regulating your menstrual cycle to improving egg quality, hormone balance is the key to successful conception. We’ll address hormonal imbalances through functional testing, dietary strategies, and herbal medicine, all designed to support regular cycles and healthy ovulation.
STRESS + MOVEMENT
Movement and stress management are critical in regulating the nervous system, improving blood flow to reproductive organs, and boosting overall fertility. Whether it's gentle exercise like yoga, resistance training, or walking, we’ll incorporate movement that is tailored to your lifestyle, balanced with effective stress-reduction practices. Studies show that regular physical activity can improve fertility outcomes, especially in women with PCOS or metabolic syndrome.
HOW I CAN HELP
GETTING TO THE ROOT OF IT
1 in 6 women struggle with fertility challenges. This is actually a symptom of larger, insidious health (and societal) issues. And no, we can’t just change it with mindset. Instead, we go deep and peel away the layers of your lifestyle to assess ways to make positive changes.
EATING FOR FERTILITY
While fertility is complex, and every woman has her own journey, there is hope, and there are foods and nutrients you can use to nourish your ovaries and uterus, support immunity, reduce inflammation, and rebalance your hormones - all factors that can impact fertility, conception, and prenatal health.
CREATING YOUR GAME PLAN
No one’s family planning, reproductive health, or IVF protocol is the same. In harmony with your health care providers, we discuss your best options based on age, AMH and hormonal factors, number of children you’d like, and more. With a plan, we are more likely to get you past the finish line!
MIND-BODY-SPIRIT CONNECTION
The third layer of the Fertility Ecosystem™ focuses on the emotional, mental, and spiritual components of reproductive health, which are often overlooked but deeply impactful.
MIND / BODY CONNECTION
Fertility is not just physical; your emotional health, beliefs, and mindset also play significant roles. Research supports the effectiveness of mind-body techniques like meditation, mindfulness, and visualization in lowering stress and improving fertility outcomes. We’ll work on cultivating a positive, resilient mindset that helps you approach your fertility journey with optimism and confidence.
NOURISHMENT + FULFILLMENT
Beyond food, nourishment includes emotional and spiritual fulfillment. Fertility challenges can often feel isolating, and finding fulfillment through creativity, relationships, and personal joy is essential. We’ll explore areas of your life that could use more nurturing and connection, helping you find balance and contentment along the way.
COMMUNITY + SUPPORT
Fertility is a deeply personal journey, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone. We'll explore how to build a support network, whether it's through family, friends, or specialized practitioners like acupuncturists, therapists, or support groups. Studies show that strong social support networks can improve mental health and outcomes in women undergoing fertility treatments.
