 In this episode of The Dr. Lo Show, Dr. Lauren Noel (aka Dr. Lo) is joined once again by one of the show's most-loved returning guests—Dr. Tom O'Bryan. Known as the "Sherlock Holmes of chronic disease," Dr. Tom is a global educator, bestselling author, and functional medicine pioneer who has trained thousands of practitioners worldwide. Together, they dive deep into a rarely discussed but critical topic: the link between inflammation and infertility.

You'll also hear: Why chronic endometritis (inflammation inside the uterus) impacts 1 in 4 women—and why it's rarely addressed The shocking connection between glyphosate, sperm quality, and fertility outcomes Simple, inexpensive lab markers (like Galectin-3) that reveal inflammation long before symptoms appear How pesticides on conventional fruits and vegetables can directly reduce implantation and pregnancy success rates The role of gut health, the microbiome, and even indoor air quality in reproductive health Practical, actionable steps couples can take now to boost fertility naturally—including detoxing, organic food swaps, and tracking blood sugar with CGMs Dr. Tom also shares highlights from his books You Can Fix Your Brain, The Autoimmune Fix, and the groundbreaking docuseries Betrayal, which has been viewed by over half a million people worldwide. He even gives a sneak peek into his upcoming book on healthy conception and pregnancy. This episode is packed with "brain candy," myth-busting insights, and practical strategies to help couples looking to conceive—or anyone interested in reducing inflammation and building long-term health.
