Nondisjunction isn’t the only reason your embryo transfer didn’t work.
It’s just one piece of a much bigger puzzle.

Here are 5 often-overlooked reasons for failed transfers:
1️⃣ DNA damage in egg or s***m from oxidative stress
2️⃣ Mitochondrial dysfunction — poor energy = poor embryo viability
3️⃣ Epigenetic errors — gene expression gone wrong
4️⃣ Maternal metabolic dysfunction — inflammation, blood sugar, and more
5️⃣ Poor uterine receptivity — even the best embryo needs the right environment

This is also why donor embryos or even mitochondrial transfers can still fail—
Even when the odds “should” be better.

Because most couples haven’t done the work to prepare their bodies.

🧬 Conception is not plug-and-play.
It’s energy-intensive. It’s complex.
And both partners need to be fully optimized.

Think of it like training for a marathon—
You wouldn’t show up on race day without preparing.
Same goes for baby-making.

Fertility patients—this is something most doctors will never tell you.

If you’re not considering oxalate, you’re missing a major piece of the puzzle.

Oxalates are compounds found in many “healthy” foods—
But in sensitive bodies, they can shred mitochondria and lead to serious mitochondrial dysfunction.

And your mitochondria?
They’re the powerhouses behind every step of conception—
From egg quality to embryo development to implantation.

The problem?
Most fertility doctors don’t test for this.
They don’t screen for oxalate overload.
And they definitely don’t recommend low oxalate diets.

But I’ve seen firsthand how reducing oxalate can transform outcomes—
Especially for women who’ve “tried everything” and still aren’t conceiving.

✨ The truth is:
Better fertility starts with better mitochondria.
And protecting them starts with what’s on your plate.

With all the news lately around autism, I want to share something important— ( disclaimer - my baby is not autistic!).

Autism is multifactorial.

There isn’t one single cause.

Genetics, nutrigenomics, detox capacity, gut health, inflammation, and environmental exposures all play a role.

That’s why I made the decision to test my baby early.

We ran a Neurogenomic panel and a stool test within the first few months of life.
And those results gave me clarity on how to support him—before symptoms showed up.

🧬 A slow COMT gene, meaning stress hormones linger longer.
💊 A single MTHFR mutation, which can impact detox pathways and nutrient metabolism.

💩 And more recently, signs of dysbiosis, likely triggered by food introduction or passed through breastmilk during my own gut imbalance.

Now we’re supporting him with foundational tools—
Including spore-based probiotics, bifido strains for immune development, and targeted immunoglobulin support.

And when he’s a bit older, I’ll run an HTMA to fully personalize his nutrient needs—
Since I compound his supplements myself.

This is the power of early intervention.
Not out of fear—but preparation.

As your baby grows, they’re exposed to more potential triggers.

Having this data means you can respond—not react.

✨ Test, don’t guess.

Why do so many embryos in IVF come back abnormal?

One major reason: nondisjunction — when chromosomes don’t split properly during cell division.

Instead of 23 chromosomes from egg + 23 from s***m…
You get too many.
Or too few.
That’s aneuploidy.

It’s the #1 reason embryos fail to implant, miscarry early, or never make it to blastocyst.

And it can happen to anyone — even young, healthy couples.
But the risk goes way up with egg age (especially over 35).

Understanding this isn’t just science — it’s power.
Because knowing what’s happening at the chromosomal level helps us make informed, compassionate choices during IVF.

Stress was the spark.
Hormones poured fuel on the fire.
And my body finally said “no more.”

Postpartum. Perimenopause. Chronic illness.
It’s not just in your head.
It’s in your gut. Your hormones. Your nervous system.

I’m in the flare.
But I’m not powerless.

Sharing the full story of what I’m doing next — because you deserve to feel seen and supported.

Why IVF Often Fails After 45

You’ve done everything right.
IVF. Supplements. The best doctors.
And still… nothing.

Here’s why ⬇️

It’s not just about the number of eggs or your age.

🌱 It’s about your cellular health.

At 45+, the biggest fertility shifts happen at the cellular level—not just the hormonal.

We often see:
• 🧬 Mitochondrial decline (which affects both egg + uterine health)
• 🔥 Chronic inflammation
• 🧠 Weak hormone signaling
• 🛡 An overprotective immune system
• 🩸 Reduced blood flow + poor implantation
• ❌ Higher risk of miscarriage and complications

But here’s the good news…

With the right testing and cellular optimization strategy, you can restore mitochondrial energy, rebalance your hormones, and support successful implantation and pregnancy—naturally or with IVF.

✨ It’s not just about trying harder. It’s about healing deeper.

Trying to conceive?
Now is not the time to fast.

Frequent fasting during TTC can:
⚠️ Raise cortisol
⚠️ Deplete critical nutrients
⚠️ Lower body fat (yes, that’s a problem)
⚠️ Suppress s*x hormones

Fertility isn’t about “hacking” your metabolism—
It’s about nourishing your body deeply.

The time to fast was before your TTC journey—
Now it’s time to build, not burn.

📌 Save this if you’ve been told fasting helps fertility.

Maana’s pregnancy journey is one I’ll never forget—because we were walking parallel paths without even knowing it.

We were both trying to conceive at the same time… and when she heard about my pregnancy, she reached out, ready to dig deeper into her root cause.

Through the HTMA, we uncovered the biochemical imbalances that were blocking her fertility. With a few targeted changes—diet, personalized supplements, acupuncture, and herbs—Maana conceived naturally in just 3 months.

What made this gender reveal even more special?
She’s a friend.
She’s having a baby boy.
And now our sons, Liam and Danny, get to grow up together.

Sometimes the best success stories come full circle.
Congratulations Maana—your strength, trust, and heart brought this miracle to life.

Is your baby teething and your doctor recommends Tylenol or Motrin? Be careful before you reach for that bottle. 🚫👶

What many doctors don’t tell you is that if your baby has compromised detox pathways, these meds can rapidly deplete glutathione—a critical antioxidant for the developing brain.

Low glutathione levels can increase the risk of neurological issues, including autism spectrum disorder, especially in sensitive children.

So what can you do instead?
✅ Run a Nutrigenomics test (like the one I use in my clinic)
✅ Learn about your baby’s detox capacity
✅ Make proactive, informed decisions to support their long-term health

I’ll be running this test on my own baby soon—because prevention always starts with awareness. 🌱
