Ep. 199: IVF Failed…Now What? The Foundation Most Couples Skip - With Katie Redding, FDNP & Dr. Jane Levesque

EPISODE SUMMARY:Too many couples are promised a fast track to pregnancy through IVF, only to end up more confused, depleted, and heartbroken. In this episode, Katie and I break down what IVF was originally designed for and why it cannot override inflammation, poor sperm DNA integrity, blood sugar dysfunction, or immune imbalance. We discuss the emotional toll on both partners and why proper testing changes the trajectory. Fertility is not separate from your overall health, it is a reflection of it.ABOUT DR.
