ART / IVF / IUI
Assisted reproductive technology, IVF, ICSI and IUI, gives you a clinical pathway to conception, but clinics are rarely set up to look at the wider physiological picture that can influence how well a cycle goes. As a fertility nutritionist working with a functional medicine approach, I support clients preparing for ART with testing and a nutrition plan that goes beyond a standard clinic workup, covering thyroid antibodies, full nutrient status, inflammation, gut and vaginal microbiome health, and blood sugar regulation.
Preparation typically starts around 90 days before a planned cycle, aligning with the natural maturation window for both eggs and sperm, though I also work with couples on shorter timelines where needed. This includes supporting egg and sperm quality, preparing the endometrium for transfer, and addressing findings like thyroid autoimmunity or vaginal dysbiosis that standard IVF investigations don't routinely test for.
For anyone facing recurrent implantation failure, unexplained IVF or IUI outcomes, or repeated miscarriage during treatment, I work alongside your clinic to investigate what a standard workup may have missed, giving you a fuller picture to work from going into your next cycle.
