Too many couples are ready to start a family—only to discover unexplained infertility and dead-end solutions. What does conventional medicine offer? Birth control to "regulate" cycles, IVF to override nature, and little interest in the root causes. Meanwhile, couples spend tens of thousands and deal with painful side effects, confusion, and heartbreak. On today’s show, Dr. Marguerite Duane reveals what most OBs completely ignore: natural, effective tools for diagnosing and healing the real causes of infertility. From cervical fluid tracking to simple nutrition and lifestyle changes, this is the empowering, science-backed approach everyone deserves to know. Whether you're trying to conceive, supporting a partner, or just care about real healthcare, this episode is a game-changer. It’s time to reclaim fertility, restore health, and demand better care.
