Science shows the important role your natural balance plays in fertility. And that you can restore it without chemicals.
Illogical as it sounds, science and medicine aren’t always on the same page. Science is typically about 7 years ahead, simply because that’s how long it takes research findings to filter down to the day-to-day work practices of generalist medical centres and clinics.
This is particularly true in fertility. Many of the advances in fertility science relate to improving fertility, not just replacing it with IVF. This usually involves the study of micronutrients, amino acids, antioxidants, hormones and the immune system. And because these factors are different for everyone, research findings can’t be applied in a one-size-fits-all manner. Treatment always requires close, ongoing consultation with the patient in order to identify their unique biomedical situation. Not just your menstrual cycle and rate of egg or your sperm production (yes, we treat men too!), but also your diet, environment, immune system function, cellular metabolism, pH balance and blood chemistry.
In other words, to benefit from many of the advances in fertility science, you need a practitioner who takes the time to assess all the variables, and who has the experience and specialist expertise to make sense of their countless combinations.
That’s exactly what sets us apart. Dr Jaime has been studying and practising advanced fertility science since 2008, with a particular emphasis on functional pathology, reproductive endocrinology and reproductive immunology.

- Functional pathology is the study of micronutrients, antioxidants, amino acids and their effect on your health. A nutritional imbalance can slow the growth of follicles and eggs in women, and the rate of sperm production or maturation in men. Learn more...
- Reproductive endocrinology is the study of your hormonal balance and function and its effect on your fertility. A fast-paced life increases adrenalin and cortisol, which decreases progesterone and increases testosterone. Learn more...
- Reproductive immunology is the study of your immune system balance and its effect on your fertility. An overactive immune system can target the embryo in the early days of implantation making pregnancy impossible. Learn more...
- Genomic medicine is the study of the your how your genes function in relation to various nutrient levels and biochemical pathways and the effect this has on your health. Genetic variants and micronutrient deficiencies will reduce the function of some genes and cause body systems to under perform.
- Targeted metabolomics is the study of the chemical substances produced as a result of metabolism. All the chemical reactions that take place within cells to provide energy for vital processes are measurable and this allows for targeted precision medicine and highly individualised treatment plans.
Meet, test, treat
Our first step is always to meet you. Preferably face-to-face, but a Skype or phone chat can also work. This is Jaime’s chance to get to know you, and to understand some of the variables involved (like your personality, lifestyle, mindset, history and challenges).
After that, assuming you’d like to go ahead, we may order some additional tests on your blood, saliva, urine or hair. This reveals your nutrient and hormone levels, and gives us an insight into your immune system balance.
Don’t worry; it may sound very technical, but from your perspective, it’s easy. Although the results themselves are all measured under strict scientific conditions, you can collect nearly all the required samples in the privacy of your own home, and just send them to us with the supplied pre-paid packaging. The only one you may need to go to your local pathology lab for is the blood test. (Also, if you’ve already had any of these tests performed recently, we’ll use those results if we can, to save you the hassle of repeat testing. Indeed, Jaime will review any test results your GP and specialists have ordered in the last 12 months.)
And once we have your results, Jaime designs a tailored treatment plan around them, also taking into consideration everything else she’s learned about you. Over the next 3 months, she supports you through the plan, providing you with all the necessary natural medicines and supplements, answering your ad-hoc questions and meeting with you once a month.
Most of our clients begin to experience substantial improvement or alleviation of symptoms within one month of treatment.

COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE
It’s important to note that we’re not a replacement for IVF. Or for any other medical professional or treatment, for that matter.
If you’re already seeing another doctor, great! We’ll work alongside them to maximise your fertility. Even if you’ve already started IVF. We’ve worked with numerous IVF clinics across NSW to improve the fertility of their patients, and increase the chance of IVF working.
If you’re not already seeing another doctor, that’s fine too. We can help most people significantly improve their fertility, with or without help from other doctors. Of course, if we think you need to seek help from someone else (e.g. if you need IVF), we’ll definitely let you know.
Our entire approach is about synergy. Getting different treatments - and different doctors - working together for a result that’s better than those individual treatments or doctors could deliver alone. And bridging the gap between cutting edge medical science and doctors’ clinics.
In other words, we’ll test your nutrient and hormone levels, and your immune system, and take the time to understand your lifestyle and your body’s idiosyncrasies, then tailor a treatment plan that brings everything into the right natural balance, by treating the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. If you’re already seeing another doctor - or more than one - we’ll factor their treatments and any medicines they’ve prescribed into our plan, so you have a single, overarching ‘blueprint’ for improving your fertility. Where everything works in harmony, treatments enhance each other rather than conflicting, and there are no unforeseen side-effects or contraindications.
