Infertility & Fertility Support
Root-cause functional medicine care — not just symptom management. Lia Laterza, LAc works with you to find what's actually driving your infertility & fertility support.
In-person & virtual consultations available
Fertility is a reflection of overall health — and when conception is not happening, it is a signal that something in the body needs support. Whether you have unexplained infertility, a known diagnosis like PCOS or endometriosis, or are preparing for IVF, a root-cause approach can make a meaningful difference. At Muskego Acupuncture & Wellness, we look at the full fertility picture: hormone balance, thyroid function, nutrient status, gut health, inflammation, and stress physiology — and we build a protocol designed to optimize your body for conception.
Who It's For
This may be right for you if…
- You have been trying to conceive for 6 months or more without success
- You have a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, or low ovarian reserve
- You have PCOS and are trying to conceive
- You are preparing for IVF or IUI and want to optimize your chances
- You have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss
- Your cycles are irregular, absent, or you have known hormonal imbalances
- You want a thorough investigation of what may be standing in the way of conception
Our Approach
How We Support Infertility & Fertility Support Through Functional Medicine
We combine modern lab-based diagnostics with Traditional Chinese Medicine and personalized protocols to address the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Why Conventional Medicine Falls Short
Conventional medicine isn't designed to find the root cause.
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Your lab results are "normal", but you struggle daily with symptoms that affect your quality of life
- You've seen multiple doctors and are no closer to getting answers or relief
- Your physical and mental health keeps you from living life the way you want to
- Your doctor has told you "you'll just have to live with it"
- You're looking for an option besides prescription medications or invasive surgery
- You're beginning to wonder if you'll ever feel like yourself again
You're not alone. Most care models focus on symptoms — not systems — and they often miss the full picture, relying on generalized protocols that don't work for everyone.
Schedule a ConsultationWe Do Things Different Here
Most care treats the symptom. We find what's driving it.
Most practices choose one lens to look through. We use two — because your body doesn't separate its systems, and neither should your care.
Functional Medicine
We look beyond symptoms to find their root cause — testing hormones, gut health, and metabolic markers to understand what's really happening in your body. Instead of managing symptoms indefinitely, we build a personalized plan aimed at resolving the underlying imbalance.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Thousands of years of clinical observation inform how we read the body's patterns — energy, circulation, and organ systems working together. Acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle practices help restore balance and support your body's own healing response.
At Muskego Acupuncture & Wellness, we combine both — modern lab-based diagnostics with time-tested Eastern medicine — because using them together consistently produces more complete, more lasting results than either approach alone.

Common questions
How long should I try before seeking support?
If you are under 35, most guidelines suggest trying for a year before formal evaluation. But there is no reason to wait — optimizing your fertility picture from the start improves your chances and gives you information. If you are over 35, we recommend starting sooner.
Can functional medicine help if I am also doing IVF?
Yes — and the evidence supports it. Addressing egg quality, uterine receptivity, and immune factors in the months before an IVF cycle consistently improves outcomes. We work alongside your reproductive endocrinologist.
Does my partner need to be involved?
Male factor accounts for approximately 40% of infertility cases. We strongly recommend including your partner in the evaluation — sperm quality is highly responsive to nutritional and lifestyle interventions over a 90-day period.
