We grow up being told that getting pregnant is automatic. That if anything, it’ll happen too easily. Then you start trying and suddenly you’re tracking ovulation, Googling acronyms, pretending you’re not crying in the bathroom again.
Fertility doesn’t “just happen” for everyone. In fact, 1 in 7 couples in the UK struggle to conceive. That’s 3.5 million people. And more than a third of them will be told they have “unexplained infertility.” Which is basically code for:“We don’t really know what’s going on.”
And miscarriage? It’s far more common than we’re told. Around 1 in 7 known pregnancies ends in loss. And many more happen before you even know you’re pregnant.
If you're feeling heartbroken, confused, or quietly furious that no one talks about this, you're not alone.
And you're definitely not doing anything wrong.
You can improve your chances of conceiving (naturally and alongside IVF) by getting to the root of what’s really going on in your body.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about precision.
Because fertility is not just about your ovaries. It’s about how everything is working together: your stress response, blood sugar, thyroid, inflammation, gut health, sleep rhythms, past trauma, and more.
When we understand your whole endocrine system. We can support it wisely, not just throw supplements at the problem and hope.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the womb: stress.
Chronic stress can throw your cycle out of rhythm, disrupt ovulation, drain your nutrient stores, and mess with hormone signalling between your brain and ovaries. Which means your fertility takes a hit, even if everything else looks “normal.”
But here's the good news... stress isn’t just something to “manage.” It’s something we can rewire. Through supporting your adrenal glands, sleep support, gentle detoxification and food that nourishes your endocrine system, we start creating the kind of internal environment where fertility can flourish.
This isn’t about throwing supplements at the wall and hoping something sticks.
It’s precision. Strategy. Science.
Functional medicine asks "what’s really going on underneath the surface?"
Why are your hormones misfiring? Why is your body struggling to conceive, even when everything “should” be working?
We don’t settle for vague answers. We investigate.
We use functional lab testing to track your hormone patterns across the whole cycle. We look at how your gut is absorbing nutrients, how your liver is clearing excess oestrogen, how your thyroid and adrenals are performing under pressure. We explore inflammation, blood sugar, micronutrient deficiencies, stress hormones, autoimmunity, immune function, and even the rhythm of your nervous system because they all play a part.
Functional medicine gives us the why behind your symptoms so we can create a targeted, step-by-step plan to support your fertility. Naturally, logically, and on your timeline.
This isn’t trial and error. This is testing, tracking, and tailoring care that actually makes sense.
Oh and we support your partner’s sperm health too because this is a two-person system.
You are not broken.
Your body isn’t failing you.
