In this episode of The Trusted Practice Podcast, host Hasan sits down with Dr. Marc Sklar, a fertility and integrative medicine specialist known for helping couples move beyond the label of “unexplained infertility.”

Dr. Sklar shares his personal journey from navigating his own health challenges to dedicating his work to fertility care rooted in the mind body connection. He explains why fertility should be viewed as a holistic journey rather than a single diagnosis, and how deeper root causes are often overlooked in conventional approaches.

This conversation explores:

• Why fertility is more than a medical diagnosis
• The mind body connection in reproductive health
• Why “unexplained infertility” often isn’t unexplained at all
• How stress, patterns, and physiology intersect in conception
• An overview of the HOPE Fertility Coaching Program
• Encouragement and perspective for couples trying to conceive
• The role of visibility and trust for holistic practitioners

This episode is especially valuable for practitioners, wellness professionals, and couples seeking a deeper understanding of fertility, healing, and long term reproductive health.
