Dr. Laurie Terzo, Natural Fertility Specialist Empowering women and couples for over 25 years to naturally optimize their fertility and take control of their journey.

‘Unexplained infertility’ just means they haven’t looked deep enough.

After 25 years in practice, here’s what I know: when standard testing says ‘everything’s normal’ but you’re still not pregnant, something important has been missed.

Standard fertility workups check: ✓ Are you ovulating? ✓ Are tubes open? ✓ Is s***m count adequate?

What they don’t evaluate: ❌ Inflammation aging your eggs ❌ Thyroid optimized for conception ❌ Gut health affecting hormone metabolism ❌ Immune imbalances preventing implantation ❌ Blood sugar disrupting cycles

Join my FREE webinar where I’ll cover: → The 5 hidden but addressable factors missed in conventional testing → How to spot overlooked imbalances in your hormones, gut, immune, or metabolic systems → Real case studies of women who conceived naturally after years of ‘unexplained’ results

You don’t need another plan. You need someone to help you understand what YOUR body needs.

After 25 years in practice, I can tell you: the biggest myth in fertility is that only your age determines your egg quality.

Your biological age - measured by inflammation, cellular health, nutrient status, and hormone balance - is what actually matters. And unlike your birthday, that’s modifiable.

If you’re over 35 and have been told ‘it’s just your age,’ that’s incomplete information. Your body has incredible capacity to heal and regenerate when given the right support.

Save this if you needed the reminder 💚

Fertility over 35 is not defined by age alone.

Egg quality is shaped by cellular resilience, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and energy regulation. Longevity pathways like sirtuins help manage how cells respond to stress and aging at the molecular level.

Fertility is not only about time.
It is about how biology is aging at the cellular level.

02/01/2026

Your ovaries respond to energy signals, not just hormones.

mTOR is a growth and nutrient-sensing pathway that helps follicles and eggs develop. When energy and metabolic signals are balanced, growth happens appropriately. When they are constantly elevated, growth biology can shift into overdrive.

Egg quality is influenced by metabolic signaling, inflammation, insulin, and stress, not only hormone levels.

This is why functional fertility focuses on cellular balance, not stimulation.

01/24/2026

Most women are never told this, the egg you ovulate this month was being built over the last ~90 days.

That means egg quality is shaped before ovulation, not in the few days leading up to it.

Those weeks are when mitochondria are formed, chromosomes are organized, and the internal machinery of the egg is constructed.

This is the real egg quality window.

And it’s why supporting egg quality isn’t about “being healthy.” It’s about intentionally supporting the biology that builds the egg.

Egg quality work belongs before the next cycle, not after.

My free Supercharge Your Eggs workshop starts Monday. If you want to work inside this window and learn exactly how to support it, join us. Link in bio.

Supercharge Your Eggs Workshop is back!

Ready to truly support your fertility and egg quality? I’m hosting a FREE 5-day live experience and I’d love to have you there.

I’m excited to open the doors to Supercharge Your Eggs: the 5-Day Fertility Accelerator, a free event created specifically for women 35+ who want real, science-backed ways to optimize fertility, not surface-level tips. I go live all next week Jan 26-30th at 12 noon PT / 3pm ET.

This is for you if you want clarity, direction, and a deeper understanding of what actually moves the needle when it comes to egg quality, hormones, inflammation, and whole-body fertility support.

👉 Save your spot here:

Over these 5 days, we’ll be diving into:

🌿 Live daily trainings with clear, actionable steps you can start using right away
🌿 Practical strategies to support egg quality and reproductive health from the inside out
🌿 Daily prizes to keep things fun and motivating

Whether you’re early in your journey or you’ve been trying for a while, this event is designed to help you connect the dots, understand your body more deeply, and walk away with a real plan.
If you’re feeling called to take a more empowered role in your fertility, I’d love to support you inside this experience.

I can’t wait to spend these 5 days with you.

P.S. It’s completely free and packed with value. If fertility and egg quality are on your heart right now, this is a beautiful place to start.

Egg quality is not explained by age alone.
It is built at the cellular level, and mitochondria sit at the center of that story.
Your eggs are powered by thousands of mitochondria. These cellular engines drive maturation, division, and early embryo development. When mitochondrial function is supported, fertilization, embryo quality, and resilience can improve.

This is why real egg quality work focuses on cellular health, not forcing the ovaries.

Nutrition, inflammation, blood sugar stability, sleep, stress physiology, and micronutrients all speak directly to mitochondrial function.

Functional fertility is about strengthening the systems that build eggs, because when cellular capacity improves, reproductive outcomes can change.

01/22/2026

If egg quality were only about age, there would be nothing to work on.

But age is not a mechanism. Biology is.

Eggs develop inside follicles for months before ovulation. During that time, they are being shaped by glucose levels, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, inflammation, thyroid signaling, nutrient status, and nervous system input.

Which means the months before conception matter.

This is where real fertility work lives.

Not in forcing outcomes, but in improving the terrain the egg is developing in.

Because when you change the terrain, you change the conversation your cells are having.

And that is where fertility begins.

01/20/2026

Miscarriages. Failed IUIs. Failed IVF. Being told donor eggs are your only option can make it feel like your body is the problem.

But outcomes often change when the biology changes.

Egg quality is not only about how many eggs you retrieve. It is about the cellular environment your eggs are built in months before retrieval.

This is functional fertility.
Not forcing the ovaries, but changing the terrain that builds the eggs.

This is exactly what I teach inside my egg quality workshop beginning next week, link in my bio.

01/17/2026

If you’ve had miscarriages, failed IUIs or IVF, or been told donor eggs are your only option, this is for you.

Outcomes don’t change when you only chase one-size-fits-all protocols. They change when you prepare the biology that builds the eggs.

Egg quality is being shaped months before ovulation, by inflammation, blood sugar regulation, hormone balance, nutrient status, and mitochondrial health.

This is what functional fertility focuses on, changing the internal environment so different outcomes become possible.

If you want it a touch more empowering or more direct to your offer, I can tweak it that way too.

Cycle charting 101, part 4

Basal body temperature doesn’t tell you when to get pregnant. It tells me how your hormones are behaving.

BBT confirms ovulation, it doesn’t predict it. What matters is the quality of the shift, consistency, and the overall pattern.

Low, erratic, or weak rises can point to progesterone challenges, thyroid support needs, or nervous system dysregulation.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about trends. One “off” chart doesn’t concern me. Patterns do.

In the final part, I’ll share how I put this together clinically and what charting can reveal that labs often miss.
