NYC’s Leading Integrative Health Care Center
Struggling with infertility can be emotionally exhausting — and all too often, traditional medicine overlooks the deeper issues at play. At Patients Medical in NYC, we take a functional medicine approach to infertility, addressing not just reproductive organs, but the entire ecosystem of your health. Our integrative programs uncover the root causes of hormonal, metabolic, and immune dysfunction that may be blocking conception — and work to restore your fertility naturally.
What Is Infertility?
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (6 months if the woman is over 35). It can affect both men and women and is often multifactorial.
In women, root causes may include
In men, common causes include
From a functional medicine lens, infertility is often the symptom — not the root issue. Underlying causes may include:
We start with a thorough workup to identify hidden blocks to fertility
Our nutritionists craft fertility-boosting meal plans tailored to your lab results and metabolic type. We emphasize anti-inflammatory foods, hormone-balancing nutrients, and blood sugar stability. Key elements include leafy greens, fiber-rich carbs, omega-3 fats, and organic protein. Eliminating gluten, dairy, and refined sugar can help reduce inflammation and support hormone balance—boosting ovulation, egg quality, and implantation chances naturally.
We offer personalized intravenous (IV) therapy to deliver high-dose nutrients directly into your bloodstream for faster absorption. These include glutathione for detoxification, vitamin C for immune support, and magnesium for hormone regulation. Our fertility-specific IVs help reduce oxidative stress, support egg and sperm quality, and optimize cellular health—especially for patients with toxin exposure, poor gut absorption, or mitochondrial dysfunction.
Our doctors recommend evidence-based herbs and pharmaceutical-grade supplements that target reproductive health. Options may include Vitex for cycle regularity, inositol for PCOS, omega-3s for hormone modulation, and prenatal vitamins with bioavailable folate. All supplements are chosen based on lab data to support ovulation, balance estrogen and progesterone, and nourish the reproductive system without side effects.
Chronic stress disrupts your hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which governs fertility. We incorporate stress management therapies such as acupuncture, guided meditation, and breathwork, along with adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha and rhodiola. These tools help lower cortisol, support adrenal health, and stabilize reproductive hormones—improving ovulation, libido, and emotional well-being during your fertility journey.
Many fertility challenges are linked to subclinical hypothyroidism or adrenal fatigue. We assess your thyroid function and cortisol patterns using advanced lab tests. Treatment may include bioidentical thyroid hormones or targeted supplements like selenium, iodine, and vitamin D. Supporting these systems improves progesterone levels, cycle regularity, implantation success, and energy—key factors in achieving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
