Here’s another study reviewing subpar sperm from men requiring fertility intervention, such as IUI.

As a person who has been tested and diagnosed with Hashimotos (aka antithyroid peroxidase antibodies), I am aware how little is known about antibodies and NOTHING is known about the treatment of it.

I know, I know…. go gluten free, dairy free, sugar free. I did the everything free diet – my thyroid antibodies never went down and in fact went up. Compounding this […]

I have been treating fertility clients for 14 years. In all these years I have been the biggest skeptic that JUST women are the problem.
