Get Fertility READY.
This will take longer, cost more, and ask more of you than anyone told you. If it's been six months or a year, it's not too early. You're right on time.
Trying naturally, mid-IUI or IVF, or just considering what's next: sometimes what helps most is 45 minutes with an outside perspective. I'm not your clinic, not selling supplements or IVF, just giving you an honest read and a full written report, before you walk into a clinic or start your next cycle.
"You can't control the outcome. You can control how prepared you are for it."
PCOS, endometriosis, and being over 35 are the most common causes of infertility. Getting READY can help.
You can optimize your fertility with any of the three. Having one isn't the end of the story. It's a set of levers you can still move. Learn how →
The Framework
Reality: Know the real timeline, cost, and odds, not the version everyone assumes going in.
Equip: prepare your body before you need to, with nutrition, sleep, supplements, and stress load.
Anchor: your support system, named before you need to lean on it.
Define: your limits on money, time, and treatments you will and won't do, decided in advance.
Yield: the resilience to pivot, pause, or stop, without it being failure.
The short version
I've been through infertility and IVF, and I know what that uncertainty and fear feels like. Wanting a baby so badly. Feeling damaged.
That's why I'm here. To explore options with you, even the ones you may not know about. I've helped thousands of women move past infertility and miscarriage, and get a handle on PCOS.
After 20 years of seeing patients, and a master's in behavioral science, I know how to work through what may be holding you back. I'll help you move forward, wherever you are.

Nobody prepares you for how hard this gets. I built READY so you would be.
This is where the framework above comes from, not theory, but twenty years of watching women hit the same wall I did.
PCOS, endometriosis, and being over 35 are the most common causes of female infertility. I built READY because it didn't exist. No one tells women how to prepare adequately for this: what they wish they'd known going in, until they've lived it. I went through infertility and IVF myself: my first cycle during my fellowship, my second while I was already on faculty at the University of Washington. It's stressful, even when you know everything as an insider. Knowing women could be better prepared for the challenges they'll face is why I built READY, to make the journey easier.
A lot of women put off that first fertility appointment because they're afraid of what they'll hear. That they need IVF. That it's going to cost $20,000.
So they wait. Hope this month is different. Put their name on a clinic waitlist and sit with the uncertainty for weeks.
Women come to me with questions like...
- My AMH is low. Now what?
- It hasn't been a year, but I want answers now.
- My doctor recommended IVF and I'm not sure I'm ready.
- I wonder if I should switch clinics.
- I'm 38 and just starting to think about this.
- My gyne isn't helping me. What should I really be doing?
- My friends are considering egg freezing but it's so expensive.
- I'm 35 and single. Should I freeze eggs or consider donor sperm?
- I can't lose weight and think I may have PMOS/PCOS.
- I've had a miscarriage and I don't know why.
- Should I start GLP-1s?
These are the exact questions you can get answered with me, now.
One woman I spoke with suspected something was wrong. She lied to her gynecologist to get a referral. Told her she'd been trying longer than she had. She just wanted answers sooner.
Fertility clinics are set up to see patients when they're more likely to need treatment. Most ob/gyns honestly don't know much beyond the basics of fertility testing because their training focuses on obstetrics and contraception.
Another woman had been at her fertility clinic and had gone through an IVF cycle that did not work. She had rarely seen her actual doctor. Information came in fragments, delivered when she needed to know something instead of the big picture. She didn't realize that there were different protocols and with her diagnosis of endometriosis, a different protocol might have worked better. She came to me to think through whether she should switch clinics. She did.
This isn't a fertility clinic appointment: no pressure, no protocol, no insurance department. You'll leave with a full written report and know exactly what your next step is. That's the whole point.
What most women don't know going in
Fertility clinics are not all equal, and the differences matter more than the marketing suggests. Egg freezing is the most technically demanding procedure in reproductive medicine. The lab conditions, the embryologist, the stimulation protocol. It varies enormously and none of it shows up on a clinic's website.
Overseas treatment is a real option for some women, with high expertise and a fraction of the cost, and almost nobody talks about it honestly. Some clinics are high-volume factories optimized for throughput. Others are boutique practices where the surgeon you meet is the surgeon who operates. Profit, patient experience, and success rates don't always point in the same direction.
Success rates are reported in ways designed to look good, not to help you compare. This is the kind of information that exists inside the system and almost never makes it out. That's what this session is for.
Educational consultation only. No physician-patient relationship is created. I cannot order labs, prescribe medications, or provide medical advice. Always work with your licensed care team for clinical decisions. Available to women in all 50 states.
One conversation. Everything you need to walk in ready, for a fraction of what one wasted IVF cycle costs. Already helped thousands of women trade guessing for clarity.
Here's exactly what the READY Consult gives you:
- A full written report, yours to keep and reread whenever you need it
- What your labs actually mean, not just whether a number falls "in range"
- Which supplements and lifestyle changes move the needle, and which ones are wasting your money or doing harm
- Your treatment options, laid out with no pressure to start any of them
- What IVF really costs, and a real budget instead of a guess
- Whether you're at the right clinic, judged on what actually matters, not the marketing
- Whether overseas treatment makes sense for you, and where to actually look
- Factory or boutique, which doctor, which lab: the questions nobody hands you before you sign
- Your actual next step, in writing, before you spend another dollar or another month not knowing
Clarity from an insider that you can't get anywhere else. No more months of waiting.
Limited availability. I take up to 10 consultations a month.
If you don't leave with a clear next step, I'll refund the session. No questions asked.

PCOS was recently renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) to reflect what's actually happening in the body. The four Rotterdam phenotypes, the insulin-hormone connection, and the lifestyle strategies with the strongest evidence: what the new name means for your fertility, weight, and long-term metabolic health.
A live group introduction to the five-part framework behind every consult I give: Reality, Equip, Anchor, Define, Yield. This isn't personalized. It's the overview, so you can see whether it fits your situation before you book the individual consult built around you.
The decline is real. It's also slower and less uniform than the headlines suggest. What the data actually shows about your mid-to-late thirties, what your numbers mean, and when it's worth acting.
If you've been told everything looks fine but nothing is working, this is for you. What standard workups check, what they miss, and what questions to ask next.
One of the three most common causes of infertility, and one of the most misunderstood. What it actually does to fertility, why it's so often missed or delayed in diagnosis, and what the evidence says actually helps.

Judy and I wrote the book we couldn't find.
Co-authored with reproductive dietitian Judy Simon, Getting to Baby distills the food-first approach we developed at the Food for Fertility program, built from years of clinical work helping women improve their odds of conceiving naturally.
"If you're looking for fertility-friendly advice on nutrition with an evidence-based approach, look no further. I am thrilled to have this resource to recommend to my patients."
