- They have struggled for years with failed cycles, miscarriage and stillbirth (my heart aches with the pain these women have had to endure).

- I don’t want you to have any regrets, because if you haven’t looked at functional testing combined with personalized diet and lifestyle plus effectively dealing with the emotional heartache you haven’t tried everything.
