Why Choose Cultivate Fertility? Functional Medicine That Specializes in Fertility
Share
If you’re feeling stuck in your fertility journey, Cultivate Fertility offers a functional medicine approach that you can’t find elsewhere.
We’re two board-certified functional medicine doctors who specialize in fertility, not just general wellness. While many naturopathic doctors can help you feel better overall, they don’t know how to help you specifically increase your chances of pregnancy.
At Cultivate Fertility, we work to uncover why you’re not getting or staying pregnant and find solutions to help increase your fertility in ways that other doctors don’t.
We take it personally
We hear it all the time from our clients:
"I wish I’d found you sooner, before I started IUIs and IVF. You're the ones who actually listened."
We know you’ve been through a lot — and we understand. Both of us, Dr. Hillary and Dr. Kara, have been there, too. We know that what you hear at your ob-gyn is probably not offering the full picture of what’s going on within your body and that there are other elements that play into your fertility.
That’s why our integrative, individualized, and holistic approach is so important. It helps fill the gaps left behind by sterile, conventional medical practices.
Whether you’re starting your fertility journey or in the thick of IVF, we’ll help you navigate your way forward so that you’re best prepared for your ob-gyn appointments or any upcoming procedures. We review your lab test results through a fertility-specific, functional medicine lens, considering both timing of the tests and your symptoms. We provide the tools — from targeted fertility supplements to the right questions to ask your doctors — so you get the most out of every visit.
We work together with an expanded toolbox of solutions
At our practice, we draw from both modern science and medically proven traditional medicine, which expands our toolbox and effectiveness.
Every cell in your body is influenced by your surroundings — the quality of the air you breathe, the medicines you take, the food you eat, the people who surround you — and that affects how your body functions. So, we take a macro look at your life and then zoom in to the minutiae to make sure you’re avoiding things that might cause inflammation or disrupt your hormones, keeping you from conceiving or carrying a pregnancy.
We ask big questions about your life that could be affecting you today:
- Were you exposed to something in childhood that could be affecting fertility now?
-
How is your stress or anxiety influencing your hormonal health?
- What in your current lifestyle might be harming your chances of getting pregnant?
Then we get into the nitty gritty of lifting any barriers in your way — our strength is working together to get that done.
Just like you trust your instincts when you feel like something is a little “off,” we trust your instincts, too. We listen to our clients’ concerns and address them appropriately. Our patients are some of the healthiest and most knowledgeable people we know.
You don’t need another course, you need the personalized approach that we offer at Cultivate Fertility.
There is hope
The folks we work with often return with stories of hope.
One in particular, who now has a two-year-old daughter, found out that she was chronically ill related to her work in a hospital. She had autoimmune thyroid issues, vitamin deficiencies, and mold toxicity that had been overlooked by traditional medicine. We helped to identify it before she got the IUI that resulted in her pregnancy. Like other clients we’ve worked with, she tells us that we’re the reason she was able to get pregnant.
We know how devastating this path can feel, but we want to help you avoid the heartache and lean into the hope.
