Unlock the secrets to heal your hormones, optimize fertility & get pregnant!
Are you just starting to think about family planning and uncertain if you're doing the right things to conceive? Are you worried because you've had issues with your period or ovulation in the past? Maybe you've been at it for the past 6-12 months or have been down the road of fertility treatments and struggling asking... "Is there's anything else I can do?" YES. Yes there is SO much you can do!!!
I get it, this was part of my story too and why I want to prevent the confusion, anxiety, and put you in the driver seat for your fertiltiy journey!
IT'S TIME TO FINALLY BE FULLY CONFIDENT...
That you’re taking the right steps to support your hormones and get pregnant!
Whether you’re actively trying to conceive or you're just starting to think about family planning...
You may start to wonder… is there anything I can do to optimize my fertility?
Maybe you’ve had a history with birth control, period irregularities, heavy bleeds/PMS, fibroids, endo, pcos, or amenorrhea.
Maybe you’re doing “all the right things” but confused and lost on why a baby hasn’t happened yet? Your doc has brushed off these concerns without solutions other than “we’ll give you this medication” or “we’ll worry about that later”.
But in your gut, you know… “there’s got to be something I can do NOW to support my fertility goals!” .... and that’s exactly why I’m here!
UNDERSTAND OUR PROCESS
Learn how to Prepare for Fertility with a Functional Approach using our Vidal 4F™ System.
The ins and outs of your menstrual cycle are something you may have never been fully educated on.
Maybe you don't know how to optimize conception, fertilization rates, and are looking to optimize health maternal and fetal outcomes with your diet and lifestyle.
"Functional Fertility" refers to a holistic approach of addressing the root cause through diet and lifestyle principles so you can get prepared and optimize (and shorten) the time trying to conceive!
STEP
01
The Flush Phase for Fertility: Reduce Toxic Load + Nourish Adrenals
We focus on optimizing systems of the liver (detoxification), thyroid, gut microbiome & adrenal health to provide a clean slate for our reproductive processes. Through our Flush protocol of nutrition, supplementation, movement, and assessing comprehensive labs we’re focused on setting up healthy ovulation & fertility preparation.
STEP
02
The Feed Phase: Optimize Blood Sugar, Gut Health + Support Energy Needs for Fertility
We’ll start focusing on feeding up the metabolism to reach your daily energy needs necessary for adequate hormone production (most women are unknowingly undereating!). We’ll be healing any gut microbiome issues to support the immune system and hormone health and be optimizing insulin and blood sugar regulation for hormone balance, egg health, ovulation and fertility.
STEP
03
The Function Phase for Fertility: Enhance Reproductive & Endocrine Function
Function phase is all about optimizing the function of each integrated system, specifically your hormones, by building on the previous stages. Here we’ll fine tune with your meal planning (with either food exchanges, macro tracking, or intuitive principles), adjusting your activity based on biofeedback, and shift supplementation towards any lingering issues that haven’t corrected themselves in previous phases.
What people have to say
"I wish a doctor had told me this 4 years ago when I was having infertility issues because if I could have fixed this sooner I potentially wouldn’t have had to go through rounds of IVF spending thousands of dollars trying to get pregnant and need to just fix these issues trying to get pregnant.” - Amanda
"I had tried to build a family over 8 years only to bury an infant who died in the NICU, lost a 20 week pregnancy and lost 4 others 10-12 week pregnancies. I’d been through 6 failed rounds of IUI and 4 rounds of IVF. I was 42 years old. I worked with all the experts before Kristen - acupuncturist, weight loss, fertility experts, coaches. I saw little success with losing weight or getting pregnant and then hormone treatments and pregnancy losses took away all the gains I made. A few months in, I couldn’t believe what happened. We weren’t even TRYING and I got pregnant. The next miracle was actually bringing a healthy baby into this world holding to term in a healthy way - a miracle considering we had so many losses every point in pregnancies in the past! Evelyn Grace was born healthy via a planned C-section and I am 43 years old. She is healthy and perfect and still can’t hardly believe she is mine.” - Kirsten S
"Before Kristen I was bloated, lethargic, acne, major period problems/cramping and had terrible symptoms. Since working with Kristen I feel a million times better, I have energy all day, and I didn’t realize how terrible I really was feeling before. After we resolved my estrogen dominance, we’re happy to say we’re now expecting!!!" - Lindsay O.,
"I Working with Kristen has not only changed my life but has given me so much life! After YEARS of hopelessness and fighting for a baby, I am FINALLY pregnant. I am thriving and I am forever grateful!” - Tayler L
"I swear this plan helped us get pregnant quick! The fact we got pregnant 2.5 months after going off the pill was unexpected but wonderful! I am such a believer in the work I did with you and how beneficial it has been throughout pregnancy!” - Sam L
“After a year of unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant with interventions from my doctor, Kristen immediately had me work on my diet and exercise, as well as bloodwork to help us determine what was going on and our course of action. Within 4 months, I had a regular period (after a year without one). After identifying I likely had PCOS, we worked on addressing the root cause of my fertility concerns and I was pregnant a few months later! It’s been a long journey, but I’m so thankful to be welcoming my first baby into the world in just a few short weeks!!” - Taylor N
If you’ve only looked at conventional routes…. you’ve likely experienced:
No specific action plan post-consult
Told birth control / hormones are your only options
No mention of nutrition, supplementation, or full explanation and education on your symptoms
Limited Bloodwork… when is the last time you had a diurnal cortisol pattern, DUTH test or hormone metabolites?
Confusion, overwhelm and often times feeling frustrated and dismissed
Prescription medications are typically the only route of options provided
Seeing a doctor sporadically without a set rhythm and cadence
Countless doctors bills (a single round of IVF costs $20,000 and the average couple needs 3 cycles which can be upwards to 50-60K+)
Failure to address the root cause and use comprehensive approach!

FAQs
-
A comprehensive care plan will always provide you with recommendations for a meal plan, movement/workout recommendations (workouts provided if needed), targeted supplementation protocol (supplements change as you change, so these will adjust as we move through your process), comprehensive lab work (bloodwork and/or home test kits), mindset/lifestyle goals, and education/resources to support the changes you are making.

Absolutely!! While a doctor is absolutely part of your care team, what I’ve found in my years of practice, is many women don’t get all the answers they’re looking for with a general PCP or GYN visit. I would strongly advocate for a pap and cervical exam with your doctor and to discuss concerns/goals you have. However, if you’re looking for comprehensive attention to looking at how all the integrated systems are working together, to spend detailed time on your symptoms/concerns, and to have an action plan with nutrition, diet, lifestyle, supplementation, and comprehensive labs that are often not available in a conventional setting, I would strongly recommend this program!
-
Between sessions, you have access to our public community forum for questions, courses, education, recipes and general questions to connect with others. We also have private DM feature to message questions specific between our 1-1 work. You will also have a tracking sheet to assess symptom improvement, cycle changes, and daily habits and biofeedback markers.

Girl, "you are in the RIGHT place!" is all I have to say. What’s important to know is that it’s literally ALL connected. Your gut, brain, ovarian communication is uniquely tied together - when we work on your gut, we’re vice versa working on your hormones. I’d rather work on that knowing the end goal is to improve your cycle and period health/fertility goals so we can work on them collectively in a systemic process you won’t be able to find in a conventional setting. We can definitely work the process for your gut, thyroid or whatever other issues you’ve got going on as the body all connects and play a role in your hormonal health!
