I'm Dr. Leah, a naturopathic doctor and natural fertility expert who navigated through male factor infertility and IVF to become a mom.

Work With Me

My husband, Mike, and I struggled 

Along our own infertility journey for over 6 years

 

In 2015, I discovered

  • That Mike had no sperm while evaluating his sample in my sperm analysis class in naturopathic medical school
  • I had to break the news to him that there was a chance we would never have children
  • I never thought we would have fertility issues
  • We hadn't been trying for a baby yet, so we decided to get busy
  • A year later, after tracking my cycle and trying, we were officially diagnosed as "infertile"
  • This started a half-decade investigation trying to figure out what was going on
We are also trying to figure out why we aren't pregnant!

 

After years of investigating 

And seeing dozens of specialists, we found  

  • Mike had a bilateral varicocele so he had surgery, but it didn't help
  • He had gut issues, so we worked on them, but still no sperm
  • His toxicity was high, so we removed his mercury filling, cleaned up his life, and did an intense detox
  • He potentially had a physical blockage due to an inherited gene 

So at this point, the only chance of having a baby together was via IVF with testicular retrieval and ICSI. 

We Have Been Told That IVF Is Our Only Option, Too!

 

So in 2020 we did IVF

  • I had PCO (polycystic ovaries) so I chose to do IVF with less medications (Mini IVF)
  • I had uterine polyps that I had to have removed
  • We successfully created four healthy embryos, 2 boys and 2 girls
  • We miraculously conceived our baby girl after one round on our first transfer
  • I believe in large part to the optimization we both did before and during the process 
We Want to Optimize Before Becoming Pregnant!

Our dream of becoming a mom and dad has come true

We are absolutely in love with our precious baby girl, Ayvia James.

I want this outcome for you so badly...

Which is why I have opened up my busy schedule to see fertility clients who are trying to conceive and dreaming of their happy ending, just as we did.

So what does working with me look like?

 

The FIRST Step

  • You have an option to schedule a 20 minute Meet & Greet to see if it's a good fit
  • Then you will schedule an 80 minute fertility consultation
  • You upload any labs you and your partner have had done previously for me to review
  • You and your partner fill out my in-depth fertility and health questionnaires
  • Both of you meet with me virtually over my secure video software
This Sounds Great!

I will then

  • Answer any questions you have
  • Be a listening ear and emotional support for the difficult process of not conceiving when you imagined you would
  • Share my opinion on your case
  • Discuss any root-causes or avenues to explore that haven't been looked at yet
  • Suggest additional labs or investigations that your doctors could run, or that you can order on your own
    • **If you life in California, I may be able to order labs for you but not if you live outside of CA
Let's Get Started!

 

You will leave with

  • Clear guidance on how to support yourselves as naturally as possible while you journey toward parenthood
  • In depth protocols on optimizing your eggs and his sperm
  • Individualized wellness plans to optimize your body, diet, lifestyle, home, and mindset in preparation for pregnancy
  • Ways to support your body, mind, and relationship while going through IUI or IVF, if that is the only option for you
We're Ready!

Clients I have helped...

"Dr. Gordon has been a fundamental support in my fertility journey. She is caring, a great listener, and filled with knowledge to prepare for pregnancy. Her advice for nutrition, mental health, relationships, and everything having to do with having your body ready, has been incredible. The best part is I feel comfortable asking her any question and she lets me be a key part of the healing journey (I haven't felt the same way with other traditional medicine professionals)."

I started seeing Dr. Leah in January of 2019, after having a miscarriage. I knew if I wanted to get pregnant again I had to make life changes. I'm so glad I did, Dr. Leah prepared my body for fertility and taught me so many things no OBGYN would ever do. I didn't realize how so many things effect fertility and now I'm happy to say I'm pregnant and hearing that little heartbeat is the best feeling and experience ever. I wish all women trying to conceive would go see Dr. Leah, it think it's so important we get our body's prepped for pregnancy, so we don't have to go through horrible experiences like miscarriages."

"Dr. Leah really helped me to optimize my health prior to going through IVF. I had chronic migraines and gut issues and I knew I wanted to feel better before becoming a mom. I am happy to say after one IVF round, I am pregnant and expecting this spring!”
