We unpack why most “fertility clinics” are really IVF clinics, what a true root‑cause workup should include (stool testing, vaginal and seminal microbiomes, DNA fragmentation), and why male factor can no longer be an afterthought. You’ll also hear their take on PRP, peptides, and biohacking vs. basics.In this episode, you’ll learn:IVF is not a first-line treatment, it bypasses the problem, it doesn't fix itThe test is only as good as the interpreter, ChatGPT can't replace clinical experienceMen were barely part of the conversation 20 years ago; now they're showing up and making changesLifestyle alone, sleep, diet, stress, can transform sperm quality by over 100xProgress over perfection: drip your motivation, don't dump it all at onceThe gut is foundational to fertility, you can't absorb what you can't digestDon't stack expensive therapies like PRP or peptides on a broken foundationAbout Dr. Jane’s PracticeI’m a Naturopathic Doctor and Natural Fertility Expert.
