Hey. Welcome to the Beyond Infertility Summit. I'm your host, Dr. Aumatma. I am so excited to introduce my friend and colleague, Dr. Leah Gordon. She is a licensed naturopathic and functional medicine doctor who specializes in supporting women on their fertility journey to motherhood. Through her online platform, Womanhood, Wellness, she guides women who want to break up with birth control, balance their hormones, prepare for a pregnancy, conceive naturally, or navigate infertility. 

Today, what I'm excited to talk to her about is that she has personal experience going through male-factor infertility, needing IVF, being a naturopathic doctor, and taking six years to prepare for her IVF cycle. She breaks down all of the ways that you can get your IVF cycle supported so that it works, maybe the first time around or the second time around, but not six, seven, or 10 cycles of IVF before having it work for you. Let's get into it. I think you're going to love this conversation. I think that we don't have enough of these conversations because a lot of times people think that integrative, functional, natural, and holistic, they're anti-IVF treatments. That's not the case. I believe IVF is amazing, but if you are going through cycle after cycle and not having it work, it's important to break down why it's not working and what you can do differently. Let's get into this conversation. Enjoy. Sit back. Take some notes, because Dr. Gordon drops some super gems that you're going to love. 

Welcome, Dr. Gordon. I am so happy that you are here today and that we are diving into IVF. What is? Yes, why should we consider it? How do we optimize the process? Because if you're anything like me, you've probably heard lots of patients come in and say that the first cycle of IVF is just an experiment. We don't know what's going to happen. The average success rates of IVF cycles are based on six cycles. We're like, I think about this as: how do we crunch time? How do we make this happen faster for you? I know that you're going to have lots of amazing things to share because you have been at the forefront of the IVF support journey as far as natural medicine and holistic stuff go. I'm excited to have you here.
