Summary

What is IVF? How much does it cost and what does the procedure look like? What if I told you there was a fertility treatment more effective than IVF AND 90% cheaper? While IVF is often seen as the go-to solution for infertility - it has profound moral and health issues. Restorative reproductive medicine is a powerful alternative - offering a holistic, moral, and cost-effective alternative to IVF for couples struggling to conceive. Today I speak with my dear friend, Dr Lauren Rubal, an OBGYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist who walked away from a lucrative IVF practice. We discuss the impact of restorative medicine, the issues with Trump's new proposal to federally fund IVF, and more!
