Fertility Jumpstart Program

Work with me to...
- Find & address the ROOT sources of your fertility struggles
- Feel more calm, sleep better, less bloated, &/or have better energy!
- Reverse your biologic age, have "younger" eggs & better sperm!
A BIG REASON why people do not get or stay pregnant naturally is because not all the contributors of fertility struggles are found & addressed.
Using my rare training in FEMM, Natural Procreative Technology, and functional medicine (root cause medicine), I frequently finds at least 5 contributing factors with each couple. Oftentimes these factors were missed in the couple's prior investigations.
I have created a Wholistic Fertility Matrix to make sure that I leave no stone unturned for the couple who wants to expand their family.
Testimonials from Dr. Yao’s Patients
Dr. Yao's Fertility Jumpstart Program is for you if...

- During the consultation, in addition to reviewing your health stories and prior relevant work up (labs ), you will receive Dr. Yao's preliminary diagnostic impressions, initial treatment recommendations that you can work on right away, as well as recommendations for initial lab tests (blood work frequently overlooked in conventional medicine, and likely other specialized functional medicine testing specifically tailored to your case).

FAQs
This clinic does not perform IUI or IVF.
With Wholistic Fertility, Dr. Yao help both people to be their healthiest reproductive selves using methods that work cooperatively with the woman and man's body, all while working hard to find and address the root causes of fertility issues. You also get ample high quality time with Dr. Yao, the physician, and Dr. Yao will personally help you better understand your health.
The Wholistic Fertility approach does not try to overrun the body with super powerful medications, nor does it suppress normal function of the reproduction system to sync with the doctor's schedule.
Patients who worked with Dr. Yao's personalized & root-cause approach have reported benefits that include having better energy, deeper sleep, decreased anxiety, decreased bloating, and decreased pain.
In essence, working with Dr. Yao is an investment for the health of the couple and their future children. It is also a rare opportunity to work with a medical doctor who has training in both functional medicine & Natural Procreative Technology / FEMM.
On the other hand, the procedure in IVF does not improve the health of the couple or their offspring. And the average cost of one IVF cycle including consultation, medications, ICSI & PGS is $25,000. This does not include embryo storage fees.
Many women report that their first appointment with their RE is at most 30-40 minutes and can cost $400 out of pocket. Usually the RE is not interested in hearing about the woman's menstrual cycle or her other health history. Treatment plans usually involves Clomid/Femara, then IUI, then IVF. Frequently women are pressured to go down the IVF route.
On the other hand, during the Wholistic Fertility Consultation, Dr. Yao wants to hear your whole health history, including detailed menstrual history, and understand your various symptoms whether that is headaches, mood swings, bloating, or chemical sensitivity, as all these can be potential clues for Dr. Yao in piecing together her wholistic fertility assessment using her detective work training from her functional medicine background.
Each wholistic fertility consultation is a brain workout for Dr. Yao and takes Dr. Yao a total of 3-4 hours to complete because prior to this 2-hour appointment, Dr. Yao has already reviewed your health questionnaires. And after this consultation, Dr. Yao often spends another 45-60 minutes completing the detailed Visit Summary for both the man and the woman, so that her patients understand her personalized recommendations, from lab work to diet and supplements. Given each consultation is quite labor intensive, Dr. Yao can only accommodate one to two such consultations a day.
Great question! A health coach is a patient's advocate and ally. A health coach works with the patient to turn aspirations or doctor's recommendations on lifestyle changes into achievable goals. The coach listens, asks questions, and provides education to help patients mobilize their internal strengths and external resources.
Fertility Breakthru Academy is Dr. Yao's highly-reviewed online course that teaches people how to use science to boost egg & sperm quality.
The Fertility Jumpstart Program is for couples who either only wants Dr. Yao's initial recommendations after her comprehensive work-up, and/or couples who want do not want the longer-term hand holding approach that Dr. Yao provides.
These longer sessions allow Dr. Yao to fully understand your interim symptoms & your cycle charting, explain in detail your interim lab results, and answer all your questions. These appointments are labor intensive for Dr. Yao, as each patient is treated uniquely based on findings from her comprehensive lab testing (definitely not impersonal, cookie cutter approach here!).
