What if you have, quote, unexplained infertility?

You've done proper imaging.

You've done all the labs.

You can't conceive.

Like, what do you do?

This is where functional medicine really helps.

Because you can dig into the real findings of what's going on.

I've had women who have subtle thyroid dysfunction.

And we just had a story on our function health email where a woman had been struggling for 13 years with all these health issues.

And her doctor never checked her thyroid.

They didn't even check the right thyroid numbers.

They checked maybe TSH, but they didn't check T3, T4, thyroid antibodies.

So you have subtle thyroid changes.

You can have inflammation that's causing infertility.

You can have insulin resistance, which we talked about.

You can be nutrient deficient.

You know, folate.

I had a movie that I was in called Fed Up, and it wasn't exactly infertility, but this woman had recurrent miscarriages.

And she was just having miscarriage after miscarriage.

And one baby, she got almost a term, and it was born without a brain.
