Dr. Kirstie Cunningham joins us today as we\'re digging into how to deal with hormone imbalance, hot flashes, and POI.

Over the last few weeks, we\\u2019ve been talking about a functional approach for premature ovarian insufficiency.

I know I had hot flashes and signs of hormone imbalance years before I was diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency at 28.

I had no idea there were targeted strategies I could take that would help to get pregnant naturally.

When we combine the best of the functional approach and conventional medicine we can improve our chances of pregnancy success with our own eggs.

Today I\\u2019m welcoming Dr. Kirstie Cunningham She is a Board Certified Physician specializing in both Obstetrics and Gynecology.

In this episode you\'ll learn:

1) The conventional approach to premature ovarian failure/insufficiency

2) What we would you do differently if we were diagnosed with POI

3) What is regularly missed with someone who receives an infertility diagnosis

4) The business of IVF and what you can do to improve your chances of pregnancy success.
