EXPERT RESTORATIVE MEDICINE FOR INFERTILITY AND RECURRENT MISCARRIAGE

THE PROGRAM

Our program delivers expert customized and collaborative care provided by clinicians specifically trained in Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM)—physicians, nurse practitioners, certified midwives, fertility case managers, fertility educators,

and health coaches. 

THE SCIENCE

RRM systematically evaluates more than 55 factors (female + male) to identify the underlying causes of infertility, diagnose what is wrong, treat what is wrong, and optimize health for natural conception and a healthy pregnancy. 

THE RESULTS

Compared to IVF, medical literature reveals that RRM has comparable effectiveness, even outperforming IVF

at one cycle; is more affordable;

is less invasive with no side effects;

and delivers better outcomes for

both moms and babies.
