Ep. 199: IVF Failed…Now What? The Foundation Most Couples Skip - With Katie Redding, FDNP & Dr. Jane Levesque

Mar 17

EPISODE SUMMARY:

Too many couples are promised a fast track to pregnancy through IVF, only to end up more confused, depleted, and heartbroken. In this episode, Katie and I break down what IVF was originally designed for and why it cannot override inflammation, poor sperm DNA integrity, blood sugar dysfunction, or immune imbalance. We discuss the emotional toll on both partners and why proper testing changes the trajectory. Fertility is not separate from your overall health, it is a reflection of it.

ABOUT DR. JANE’S PRACTICE:

Dr. Jane is a Naturopathic Doctor and a Natural Fertility Expert. She and her team of expert practitioners help couples navigate infertility for 1+ years, get to the root cause of their struggles, heal, and bring healthy babies home.

Since 2020, she has dedicated her practice to fertility, where she and her practitioners work with couples 1:1, running functional lab work, customizing treatment plans and providing her couples with the support they need to get pregnant, have a stress free pregnancy and a healthy baby.
