Welcome to another episode of the Food, Freedom, and Fertility podcast. Caitlin Johnson and Sophia Pavia chat with Dr. Ann Shippy.

Dr. Ann Shippy uses cutting-edge science, innovative testing, research and genetic information to determine and address the root causes of health issues – not simply treat the symptoms of illness.

She approaches each patient as a whole person, and forms a therapeutic partnership to achieve the highest standard of health.

Her approach to medicine is a unique blend of measured, precise data with a heartfelt and sympathetic attitude towards all of my patients.

Before becoming a functional medicine physician, Dr. Shippy was a chemical engineer at IBM who faced her own complex health challenges—autoimmune disorders, undiagnosed celiac disease, and fertility struggles that conventional medicine couldn't solve.

That personal journey, combined with 20+ years of helping couples conceive healthy babies, makes her uniquely qualified to guide you through yours.

Her engineering background brings precision to the science. Her medical training provides clinical insight. Her personal experience offers hope.

Sophia, Caitlin and Dr. Shippy have an in depth conversation about sperm quality, everyday toxins, lifestyle changes and tackling tough infertility cases.
