Metabolic Dysfunction & Infertility: Functional Medicine Strategies to Improve Oocyte Quality and Implantation

Course overview

Examining the complex relationship between metabolic dysfunction and infertility, this lecture delves into the latest research on how metabolic health influences reproductive outcomes, the influence of genetic predispositions, and effective treatments. Discover how insulin resistance, in both PCOS and non-PCOS patients, may affect oocyte quality, implantation, and risk for pregnancy complications. Gain a deeper understanding of certain genetic polymorphisms, their influence on metabolic function, disease susceptibility, and treatment response. Taken together, the goal is to ultimately develop a clear understanding of evidence-based treatment strategies and how to tailor them based on individual genetic predispositions, enabling more precise and effective management of metabolic factors influencing fertility.
