Infertility and difficulty conceiving are becoming more and more prevalent in the US. About 6.1 million women in their reproductive years have trouble conceiving and the number is rising.

Why Choose a Functional Medicine Approach to Fertility?
Fertility Is More Than Reproductive Organs
Fertility depends on the health of your entire body. Hormones, gut health, inflammation, stress, nutrient status, metabolism, and toxin exposure all play a critical role.
Common Root Causes Affecting Fertility
Hormonal imbalances (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid)
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Endometriosis
Irregular or absent ovulation
Low ovarian reserve
Male factor infertility
Insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction
Chronic inflammation
Gut imbalances and nutrient deficiencies
Environmental toxin exposure
Chronic stress and adrenal dysfunction
Dr. Rashel’s functional medicine model identifies and corrects these underlying imbalances to optimize fertility naturally and safely.

My personal Fertility Story: At the age 43, I was fortunate to have my daughter, being able to conceive in a short amount of time after making the decision to do so, without having to use In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). I don’t think I would have been able to do this had I not been working on my own health from a functional medicine perspective for over a decade prior to that.
I had restored gastrointestinal balance and worked on eliminating overgrowth of candida, SIBO, imbalanced bacteria, optimized my hormones, supported thyroid function, reinstated adrenal health, eliminated toxins, optimized insulin sensitivity, eliminated inflammation and silenced autoimmunity, and reached a peak level of physical performance and exercise capacity,
I had my share of health challenges earlier in life, all caused by inappropriate unnecessary prescription of antibiotics and oral contraceptives “to regulate periods” that propelled me into a cycle of inflammation and autoimmunity. I was fortunate to choose to continue my medical education and learn or relearn principles of health and how to eliminate disease through Functional Medicine.
My daughter brings so much joy to my life and helps me grow into a better person every day, one of the objectives close to my heart is to to help my patients successfully conceive and experience the joys of being a parent.
