The infertility industry often presents IVF as the only solution, but what if we could actually heal the underlying causes of infertility instead? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Naomi Whittaker, a board-certified OB-GYN and Restorative Reproductive Medicine specialist, joins the series to expose the gaps in women's healthcare and share a healthier, more ethical approach to fertility treatment.
Dr. Whittaker reveals:
- Why infertility is a ”check engine light,” not a disease.
- How IVF doctors often skip crucial medical workups
- The real risks of IVF for women and babies – including health complications, high miscarriage rates, and increased risks of cancer.
- Why women are not being properly educated about their own reproductive health.
- How cycle charting and restorative medicine can actually help women conceive naturally.
- Why couples should have an ethical ”game plan” before walking into a fertility clinic.
Instead of pushing high-risk, high-cost procedures that bypass the problem, Dr. Whittaker’s work focuses on identifying and healing what’s actually preventing conception. She challenges the medical industry's reliance on IVF and explains why true healthcare for women should focus on root causes, not just expensive workarounds.
If you or someone you love is facing infertility, this episode is a must-listen.
