                        6. Guest Episode: Dr. Robert Kiltz the Founder and Director of CNY Fertility

                          Join Dr. Kiltz and Dr. Tara Harding for an exploratory conversation on the United States’ Healthcare System and increasing access to fertility treatment for all.

                          Dr. Robert Kiltz is the Founder and Director of CNY Fertility, one of the largest and most innovative fertility practices in the country, with over 60% of its patients traveling from out of state or overseas to be seen.

                          Over more than two decades of helping families grow, Dr. Kiltz has developed cutting-edge approaches to fertility grounded in Western medicine and supported by practices of holistic medicine. To treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit, Dr. Kiltz revolutionized the Fertility industry by providing full-service healing arts centers where patients receive massage, acupuncture, and yoga instruction. This patient-centered approach extends to Dr. Kiltz’s commitment to democratizing access to fertility treatments by pricing most fertility treatments at only 1/3 the cost of the national average.

                          Dr. Kiltz routinely shares his thoughts on diet, wellness, spirituality, and fertility in his blog and via bi-weekly Facebook and YouTube Lives. A thought leader in the keto carnivore movement, Dr. Kiltz believes that an animal-based diet dramatically improves mental clarity, fertility, and health, empowering people to live their best lives. In addition to his own media channels, Dr. Kiltz appears regularly on numerous popular blogs and social media outlets, and has shared his views as a speaker at TEDx.
