Episode Summary

Fertility testing can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even discouraging when you’re not sure what the numbers mean. In this episode of Fertility Village Live, we welcome Dr. Rachel Corradetti-Sargeant, a naturopathic doctor with years of experience supporting fertility patients.

Rachel specializes in a holistic, evidence-informed approach to fertility testing and treatment, helping patients understand their results while offering tools to address common hormonal and metabolic challenges. This episode takes a closer look at the tests most often ordered, how to interpret them with context, and what steps you can take when your results don’t tell the full story.
