In this episode of Functional Medicine for Moms, we’re talking about fertility labs worth knowing before trying to conceive and why fertility is often a reflection of overall health. I walk through affordable lab testing options that can help identify imbalances before pregnancy so you can better support conception, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and overall health.

We discuss:

• Why blood sugar and metabolic health matter for fertility
• Important thyroid labs beyond just TSH
• Nutrient testing including vitamin D, B12, folate, magnesium, and iron
• Cholesterol, liver health, and inflammation markers
• Day 3 hormone testing and AMH
• Why semen analysis matters for male fertility too
• Functional medicine testing vs. foundational labs
• How optimal fertility ranges differ from standard “normal” ranges

I also share details about my upcoming Preparing for Pregnancy Guide and affordable fertility-focused lab panels for both women and men.

Whether you’re planning for your first baby, trying for another, or simply wanting to better understand your body, this episode is packed with practical information to help you take more intentional next steps.
