About The Program

If you’re dreaming of holding a baby in your arms, but worried about fertility challenges or want to do everything possible to ensure your baby will have the healthiest start in life, this program was made for you.  

Embark on a transformative journey toward a healthier future family with Dr. Ann Shippy’s groundbreaking preconception and functional fertility program.

Tailored to address each prospective parent’s unique health profile, this program delves deep into the foundational factors influencing fertility and your future child’s well-being.

You will have a custom plan to detoxify and lay a healthy foundation based on your lab results and lifestyle.

The effort put into preparing for conception is a great reward because it directly contributes to the well-being of the baby and the overall health of the family.

By investing time and energy into this preparation, prospective parents can:

  1. Enhance Fertility: Nutrition and lifestyle adjustments can increase the chances of a successful conception and a smoother pregnancy.

  2. Reduce Complications: Optimal health can minimize the risks of pregnancy complications, which benefits both the mother and the baby.

  3. Healthy Development: The health of the child is profoundly influenced by the health of the parents before conception. By focusing on health before pregnancy, parents can support better developmental outcomes for their children.

  4. Long-term Health Benefits: The benefits of preconception care extend beyond pregnancy by optimizing the epigenetics of your child.

Lab Testing

This program includes a comprehensive set of lab tests designed to assess various aspects of health that can influence fertility.

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.
  • Homocysteine for heart health.

Oova for Women – At-home urine test and app to track LH, PdG (a progesterone metabolite), and E3G (an estrogen metabolite). Oova predicts and confirms ovulation.

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.

Supplements

As part of our comprehensive program, both men and women will receive an initial set of carefully curated supplements to support healthy conditions for fertility. A special discount will be offered for the remaining months of the program.

These supplements are designed to help kickstart your path to fertility by focusing on key areas:

  • Supporting healthy detoxification
  • Promoting overall cellular health
  • Enhancing mitochondrial function,
  • Providing a high-quality protein powder
  • Ensuring you get the essential nutrients your body needs during this preconception phase.

Supplements are part of a holistic strategy designed to get your body into the best possible shape for reproductive success.

About Ann Shippy MD

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.

Every Baby Well - Starting With Yours

The seeds for my “Every Baby Well” book and this 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

Invest in the success of your conception and the health of your future baby with a single payment of $7,875.

When it comes to toxic mold it’s not JUST your environment that you need to get away from–you must discard of the contaminated possessions in the moldy home or office.Mold persists on personal items in dust and as a toxin. Dust is made up of dormant spores and spore fragments. Toxins are chemicals made by the mold, known as mycotoxins, which are reactive and considered a "poison."And unfortunately, killing mold doesn't solve all the issues. The fragments and toxins left behind can cause continuous issues in very sensitive individuals. Nearly all experts on mold remediation agree that upholstered furniture and electronic items that recirculate air need to be disposed of. And mold can stick to a variety of other items, some difficult to clean which will also inhibit recovery. While there are no studies that discuss transfer of mold particles, many individuals affected by mold toxicity have reported recurrence of symptoms when exposed to personal belongings. I’ve seen it quite often in my practice over the years. Listening and helping patients on this journey, some felt getting rid of possessions was liberating, for others it was quite emotional to depart with sentimental items, even traumatic. There is also a financial burden to remediate a moldy house, move out, AND replace many expensive possessions.On top of all this, the symptoms of mold related illness, including anxiety, depression, fatigue, headaches, body aches, and more are often exacerbated because of the added stress, making the issues of losing some possessions even harder.The good news, and what I remind people of, is that health is the most important thing, and you can get better. 🥰 I encourage you to find a healthcare professional who is knowledgeable and trained in dealing with toxic mold illness.Here are a few possessions that fare the worst in a moldy environment...upholstery – furniture, drapery, bedding, beds, headboards, clothing, artwork, paper items, and as mentioned, electronic items that recirculate air.For free mold resources visit my linker.ee.Dr. Ann ❤️#mold #toxicmold #moldillness #moldsickness #moldremediation #blackmold #moldy #rootcause

Does exercise keep you young? Yes, and there is significant research to support this.We all want to live longer, healthier lives free from chronic disease.But did you know that although lifespans are now longer, the average American spends the last 17 years of their lives in poor health?In a study of men and women in their 70s, those who were lifelong exercisers had higher aerobic capacities, better metabolic health and were biologically around 30 years younger than their chronological age, when compared to their non-exercising peers.Based on this study, and others like it, we also know that exercise throughout the lifespan increases bone density, protects against dementia and other diseases, and delays the shortening of telomeres. And we know that longer telomeres are associated with health and longevity, while shorter lengths are associated with aging, premature aging, and disease.And athletes typically have longer telomeres than non-athletes of the same age, suggesting that exercise is an antidote to aging. However, most of the people in this study weren’t athletes or competitive in their exercise, they simply engaged in regular physical activity.I don’t think any of us want to spend our final days in poor health.If you aren’t exercising, hopefully this inspires you – it’s start never too late to get started. 🤩I enjoy hiking, skiing, yoga, and Pilates.

Have you tried a low-carb paleo diet and experienced unwanted symptoms like poor sleep, gut distress, or metabolism issues?Research shows that a Paleo style of eating supports a balanced weight, metabolic health and is anti-inflammatory.But some paleo eaters focus so much on eating proteins that they end up over-restricting carbohydrates.They may think carbohydrates will cause them to gain weight...but whole carbohydrate foods are incredibly important for the health of the microbiome, hormonal function, reproduction and even metabolic health.Natural carbohydrate plant foods, such as fruits and starchy vegetables, provide immense benefits from the phytonutrients in these foods. They may even help improve insulin sensitivity in many cases.It is true that by reducing carbohydrates, you can also reduce your blood sugar (and the symptoms that go along with elevated blood sugar), and in some cases, this is warranted and very helpful, but in other cases, as time goes on, a low carbohydrate diet may have some downsides.Some people start experiencing unwanted symptoms like poor sleep, decreased metabolism, reduced thyroid hormone (cold hands and feet), cortisol and adrenal health, fertility issues and digestive symptoms.If you are on a low carb diet and want to learn how more about how it could be impacting your health, read my new blog: Low Carb Paleo, Low Carb Diet Risks and Insulin Resistance - link in bio.Dr. Ann#lowcarb #paleo #rootcausemedicine #foodasmedicine #leakygut #integrativemedicine #lowcarb #chronicfatigue #healyourself #lowcarbdiet #healthycarbs #eattolive #chronicillness #diet #insulinresistance #insulinresistancediet #toxinfree #toxinfreeliving #toxinsout #wholefood #eatclean

Why it’s so important to eat the right kinds of fats.We need a balance between the unsaturated fats and the saturated fats for cell integrity and communication.Both omega-6 fats and omega-3 fats are PUFAs or polyunsaturated fats. Omega-6 fats are used to make communication messengers, that can send more inflammatory signals. Poultry, meat, eggs, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils are sources of Omega-6 fats.Omega-3 fats are also used in communication and send more anti-inflammatory signals. Fish, other seafood, seeds, and fish oils are sources of Omega-3 fats. Too much omega-6 may cause a more inflammatory state in the body and consequently predispose to or exacerbate many inflammatory diseases.A normal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is somewhere between 4:1 or 2:1, however, since the rapid increase of industrial foods, like high omega-6 vegetable oils, this ratio has increased to 16:1 or even higher in many people. Excessive consumption of high omega 6 PUFAs causes oxidative stress and damages cell membranes which can lead to mitochondria and DNA damage, diabetes, and heart disease.You may see nutrition recommendations that suggest avoiding the high omega-6 vegetable oils such as corn, soy and safflower oils, but also and other PUFA sources in the diet. Proponents claim that wildly reducing PUFAs will improve diabetes and blood sugar balance, risk for heart disease and even boost thyroid health, leading to improved metabolic health. But is this true, or even necessary?With personalized medicine we look at each individual and make health recommendations that consider food allergies, sensitivities and other factors. But generally, when it comes to PUFAs, I recommend consuming natural food sources, like fish oils, fish, nuts, and seeds – so that we get PUFAs the way nature intended, and we avoid the unnatural processed industrial oils like GMO industrial oils (corn, soy, canola, etc.).To learn more read my blog What is Polyunsaturated Fat – PUFA Foods and Personalized Medicine - link in bio.Dr. Ann ❤️#goodfats #healthylifestyle #toxinsout #eatclean #integrativemedicine #chronicillness #toxicfood #naturopathicmedicine #foodasmedicine #heal
