Extensive Experience

Dr. Natalie Schultz has practiced reproductive endocrinology for over 20 years, helping thousands of women achieve a successful pregnancy. Dr. Schultz takes a comprehensive approach to fertility issues and finds that failure to conceive is rarely unexplained. Physical, metabolic, hormonal, emotional, environmental as well as lifestyle factors can all impact conception. At Ways to Wellness MD, we take a detailed medical history and provide thorough evaluation to identify and then treat these potential factors. This may include preconception detoxification, which can help rid the body of harmful toxins and prepare it for a successful pregnancy.

The PCOS Connection

By holistically treating this or other underlying causes of fertility problems, patients often achieve success in pregnancy.
