Episode notes

For years, women have been told that birth control or IVF are the only solutions to reproductive issues. Dr. Naomi Whitaker knows that’s not the full story. Through Restorative Reproductive Medicine, she helps women identify the deeper health imbalances that fuel infertility, endometriosis, PCOS, and hormones, and shows how healing the body’s natural rhythms can change everything.

In this episode, Dr. Whitaker reveals why standard lab ranges are often misleading, how cycle charting can act like a “health report card,” and why bioidentical hormone support is a game changer for energy, mood, and long-term vitality. She also shares her perspective on endometriosis surgery, PCOS subtypes, and the future of reproductive care. If you are tired of one size fits all advice and want science based, patient focused solutions that aim to fix root causes, this conversation gives straightforward clarity and practical next steps.
