The foreword to my next book:
This book exists because of grace, love, and the unwavering support of people who believed in our dream when we could barely hold onto it ourselves. First and foremost, I thank God for the knowledge wisdom, and calling He's placed on my life to serve my patients and help families grow. Every insight in these pages, every breakthrough and understanding, every moment of clarity that led to healing, all of it flows from His infinite wisdom. I'm simply a vessel honored to be used in his plan to bring hope and health to those who desperately need it, to my parents and their incredible network of prayer warriors who faithfully lifted Eric and me up, through every month, every disappointment, every procedure and every glimmer of hope during our decade long fertility journey. Your prayer sustained us when our own faith wavered. You believed for us when we couldn't believe for ourselves. You held our dream in your hearts and carried it to the throne of grace again and again. And I know beyond any doubt that your intercession played a vital role in bringing William and Michael into our lives.
To my husband, Eric, my partner in every sense of the word, you stood by my side through 10 years of fertility struggles with the strength and faith that humbled me daily while I was consumed with treatments and protocols. You managed our business, supported our patients, and held our family together when I wanted to give up. You reminded me that God had children for us. When I felt broken, you saw me as whole. This journey tested us in ways we have never imagined, but it also showed me what true partnership looks like. I could not have walked this path with anyone else.
To my incredible team at the integrative health and hormone clinic, you're the heartbeat of everything we do during the countless appointments, procedures, and recovery periods, when I needed to step away. You kept our mission alive. You cared for our patients with the same dedication and compassion I would have given them myself. You believed in our functional medicine approach even when others questioned it, and you celebrated every patient's success as if it were your own. This work isn't possible without each of you.
Ultimately, I wrote this book for my two miracle sons, William and Michael. One day when you're old enough to understand, I want you to know the journey that brought you here, not because it was easy, but because it was worth every single struggle. I want you to know that you were prayed for, hoped for, and fought for long before you drew your first breath. And I want you to understand that sometimes the most precious gifts come wrapped in the longest waits.
I also wrote this book for every couple who is walking the path Eric and I walked feeling alone, confused, and wondering if their dreams will ever become reality. I wrote it for the woman lying awake at 3 am googling unexplained infertility for the 100th time. I wrote it for the man watching his wife's heartbreak month after month, feeling helpless to fix it. I wrote it for the couple sitting in fertility clinics in the waiting rooms, wondering if there's another way. My deepest prayer is that this book will shorten your journey, that the knowledge that took me years to piece together will be available to you from day one, and that you won't have to spend a decade searching for answers that could be found in months with the right approach. If this blueprint helps even one couple avoid the pain of unexplained infertility, if it guides even one person to discover their missing piece of the fertility puzzle, if it offers even one family hope when they're ready to give up, then every moment of our struggle will have served a greater purpose than ourselves. May God bless your journey, strengthen your faith, and fulfill the desires of your heart with endless hope and gratitude.
