Frequently Asked Questions

 Start with our free Metabolic Function Review — a short assessment that gives you immediate insight into where your fertility health stands. From there, book a free discovery call with our team. If we're a good fit, we move into comprehensive lab testing for both partners and build your fully personalized six-month protocol from there. 

 Our program is not covered by insurance. However we are happy to provide superbills you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Many patients are surprised by what gets partially covered. At the very east it can go to your deductible 

 Because it's not a one-size-fits-all approach — and that's exactly the point. Every protocol is built specifically around your lab results, your biology, and your goals.

You're not paying for a consultation — you're paying for a full six-month transformation with a team behind you the entire way.

 A comprehensive six-month preconception program for both partners. We run advanced functional lab testing, identify your specific root causes, and build a fully personalized protocol covering supplements, nutrition, hormone optimization, and lifestyle medicine — with ongoing provider access and dedicated health coaching throughout. 

Conventional fertility care focuses on intervention — stimulating ovulation, retrieving eggs, transferring embryos. We focus on the why. We run labs your standard doctor never orders, look at your metabolic and cellular health from every angle, and fix what's actually standing between you and pregnancy. Many of our patients come to us after being told everything looks "normal" — and we find the root cause within the first round of testing. 

Yes — and this is one of the things that makes our program unique. Male factor infertility contributes to up to 50% of all cases. Sperm quality, DNA fragmentation, and hormonal health in men are just as important as egg quality and uterine health in women. We test and treat both partners from day one. 

Absolutely. We work alongside your IVF protocol and collaborate with your reproductive endocrinologist to optimize egg quality, sperm health, and the uterine environment at the cellular level — giving your transfer the best possible chance of success. 

 t's not too late — and failed IVF is often where we find the most missed root causes. If your cycles haven't worked, something has been overlooked. We find it. 

Yes — all appointments are conducted virtually. You can see Dr. Hammer and her team from anywhere in the country, on your schedule, without commuting or taking time off work. 

Six months. Meaningful change at the cellular level — egg quality, sperm health, hormonal balance — takes time, and six months is the sweet spot for real, lasting results.
