Message from Dr. Shippy
Dear Prospective Parents,
Infertility rates are on the rise – with one in six people affected globally, which means that by 2025, almost ten million couples will encounter problems with conceiving.
The other worry parents have is the increasing number of children who develop autism and other developmental issues. The latest research from the CDC in 2023 shows that one in 36 children is now diagnosed with autism. This is an increase from one in 44 children just two years ago. MIT scientist Stephanie Seneff predicted that by 2025, half of all babies born in the U.S. would be autistic.
If you are considering starting a family soon, you may be asking yourselves:
- What factors affect my fertility and chance of conceiving?
- How does my health and current lifestyle impact the health of my future child?
- How can I secure a healthy future for my family?
- Can I influence my fertility and/or the health of my baby, or is it largely out of my control?
We’ll tackle these and other important questions during the program, but here’s something to get excited about right now: you have more control than you might think! I hope that gives you a real boost of hope!
This program is tailored for all prospective parents—women and men—who are eager to start or expand their family.
Together, let’s take proactive steps toward a healthy future for you and your family. I look forward to getting started on this journey with you.
Warm regards,
Ann Shippy MD

However, after implementing my recommended protocol, many not only conceived but also went on to have healthy children, with some families growing to include multiple children.” – Ann Shippy MD

NutrEval – Comprehensive profile identifying nutritional deficiencies and insufficiencies. Urine and blood test.
GI Map – A special stool test that uses a method called qPCR to find parasites, bacteria, fungi, and other organisms by looking for their unique DNA.
Total Tox Burden – Measures levels of harmful substances, such as heavy metals and mold toxins, which impact fertility and overall health. Urine test.
Fertility Blood Panel – includes:
- Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) for evaluating ovarian reserve.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential and platelet count to check overall health.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP 14) and Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) for liver health.
- Hemoglobin A1c to measure blood sugar levels over time.
- Iron & TIBC + Ferritin tests for iron levels and storage.
- Thyroid Function Tests (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, Thyroid Antibodies, and Thyrotropin Receptor Antibodies) to assess thyroid health.
- ANA (Antinuclear Antibodies) to check for autoimmune disorders.
- Hormone Levels including testosterone, DHEA, AM cortisol, fractionated estrogens, insulin, hs-CRP for inflammation, prolactin, FSH & LH for reproductive health.
- Vitamins & Minerals including Vitamin D 25-Hydroxy, Vitamin B12 & Folate, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), and Uric Acid.

SPermQT PLUS for Men –A non-invasive test that examines the sperm’s genes to analyze its internal quality and function.
Lifestyle and environmental factors can influence sperm quality, potentially affecting the sperm’s ability to do its job, which is to find the egg, bind to the egg, penetrate the egg, and, finally, fertilize the egg.
Also measures quantity and motility. This dual analysis ensures a more complete overview of sperm health than conventional methods.
Lab test results will be addressed in group sessions, providing a general analysis. This group review is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and actions needed for positive changes.

About Me
I know what it feels like to struggle with fertility.
I was in my mid-30s, deep into the demands of medical school, and had almost convinced myself that motherhood might not be in the cards for me, especially after facing numerous personal health hurdles and struggling to conceive.
However, after implementing significant changes to my lifestyle, I finally became pregnant—ironically, while still in medical school.
Fast forward nearly two decades, and as a Board-Certified Internal Medicine and Functional Medicine physician, it has been a tremendous gift to help others achieve their dreams of starting and growing their families.
This program allows me to reach and help more people who are looking for fertility and conception health – outside my patient population. Welcome!
About Me
I’m pregnant! Saying those words out loud was truly one of the most joyful moments of my life!
At the time, I was navigating the demands of medical school in my mid-30s, almost convinced that motherhood was not in the cards for me. Adding to that were personal health hurdles I had overcome—more on those shortly.
Managing morning sickness on top of my hospital duties was not easy! However, reflecting on this journey fills me with deep gratitude for the gift of motherhood.
With nearly two decades under my belt as a Board-Certified Internal Medicine and Functional Medicine physician, it’s been such a gift to get to help others achieve their dreams of starting and growing their families.
My Vision and Hopes for You
The seeds for my “Every Baby Well®” book and this Begin Well Conceive Well program were planted nearly a decade ago.
Running a busy practice has been rewarding, allowing me to guide many toward welcoming healthy little ones into their families.
However, my ambition to reach and help more people never waned.
Now, in 2024, I’m thrilled to finally unveil my passion project to the world!
I’m excited to begin this journey with you. – Ann Shippy MD
