FAQs

We are a virtual functional medicine fertility practice that provides natural fertility solutions for couples. All consultations are confidential, HIPPA compliant, and virtual—by phone or video conferencing—no travel required.

Our coaching program consists of 8 appointments—one every two weeks for 4 months.

Your care plan includes evidence-based natural fertility approaches based on science and success in our practice, including testing and personalized lifestyle changes including nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress solutions. We also look at underlying health conditions that can be roadblocks to your fertility.

We look at your whole health and your environment. Simplina has a unique model that we have formulated in 10+ years of practice experience that addresses the food you eat, supplements, exercise, and lifestyle. We cover all the bases to make sure you are optimizing every area of your life to improve your fertility.

Our coaching program costs $2,800.00 total for 4 months with 2 coaching consults per month—to provide the expertise and support you need and deserve. (This is equal to $350.00 per session.) There are additional fees for lab testing and supplements that may be suggested for your personalized program.

Space is limited, payment in full is required to reserve your spot for the program.

Yes. We have a limited number of spaces available for dedicated couples.

To participate in our program you must complete the four month program and pay the full fee of $2,800.

If you get pregnant, we transition you to pregnancy nutrition counseling to continue to give you healthy start for your you and your baby.

We require the 8 session program because that is what has been shown to work best. Over the years, we noticed a pattern in which couples were more likely to get pregnant after our program. We found it was the couples who completed all 8 sessions and committed to the changes were more likely to get pregnant. Therefore, we changed our model to increase the chance of success for everyone.

Check out our testimonials! We have had clients who’ve achieved successful pregnancies and deliveries of healthy babies including couples who’ve had prior failed IVF cycles, miscarriages, and the inability to conceive on their own with over one year of trying.

All of our clients to date have said they feel better and healthier after our program and many no longer experience health symptoms they struggled with in the past.

Simplina does not participate with any insurance plans and this is an out-of-pocket service. If you are located in Maryland or the District of Columbia we can send you a superbill to submit for nutrition counseling since we are licensed in these states. Otherwise, insurance plans are not required to cover coaching for fertility at present. FSA and HSA funds may cover health coaching. (We wish getting healthy was a fully covered service too!)

We are a virtual practice and will visit you right on your screen at home. There is not an in-person office to visit.

Before your initial appointment, both you and your partner will complete an intake form detailing your respective health histories. This, along with a comprehensive assessment conducted during our first appointment, allows us to understand your unique fertility journey.

Based on these insights, we will craft a dynamic, ongoing functional medicine fertility program, continuously tailored to evolve with you and your partner's health statuses and needs.

We start by reviewing any existing testing that has been done in the last 3 months. Once you start, we may recommend additional testing, for example on hormones, detailed nutritional status, and sperm quality.

We’re open Monday through Friday with limited availability.

We’re experts at helping to identify the root causes of infertility and address health status to improve your odds of pregnancy through a functional medicine and lifestyle solutions lens.

We’re not a replacement for your OB-GYN or reproductive endocrinologist and do not provide medical care. We offer care in addition to your medical care team, by improving your health and fertility odds naturally, and providing coaching support as you and your partner make the lifestyle changes you need to succeed. We address nutrition, exercise, supplements, sleep, stress, and mindset to support fertility—concerns you wonder about, but don’t know what’s right for you.

Our goal is to fill a gap in fertility care. Too often your and your partner’s health status is overlooked in the fertility process—when evidence shows there’s so much that can be done with health status information!

We optimize your health and provide the coaching and support too often lacking. We developed Simplina because our founder experienced the hardships of the fertility process and wanted to create what was missing—a science-based way to improve your odds naturally with expert, custom fertility plans, coaching, and care.

Functional medicine fertility aims to understand what your roadblocks are or will be for fertility. In order to get pregnant and have a healthy pregnancy, your health and your partner’s health need to be at their best. We look at your health history and that of your partner to formulate a lifestyle-based plan with food, supplements, exercise, sleep, stress, and other changes to optimize egg and sperm quality and increase the odds of pregnancy.

Functional medicine looks at the root causes of illness. Instead of trying to make a symptom just go away (i.e., ibuprofen for chronic pain), functional medicine looks to understand why you have that symptom and fix the source of the problem. The solution is individualized to you.

To make getting pregnant easier. We want couples to get the support for fertility care that they need in their own home using natural solutions–nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle medicine that can optimize egg and sperm health to increase your odds of getting pregnant and having a healthy baby. We identify roadblocks in both partner’s health through a detailed assessment and provide you both with a personalized fertility lifestyle plan and coaching to guide you through the changes so you are not alone in this fertility journey and you feel better along the way.

There is a significant body of evidence in published literature supporting different nutrients improving egg quality, sperm quality, pregnancy rates, reduction in miscarriages, full-term pregnancy, and better outcomes post-partum. We work with solution-based nutrition plans based on the research.

Yes! It takes two to tango. Male factor infertility comprises up to 50% of all cases of infertility, yet often men are overlooked or examined much later after precious time is lost when trying to conceive. Sperm counts have dropped 50% in the last 40 years. The good news? Simplina offers cutting-edge testing and lifestyle solutions for men and women.

Everyone who wants to be healthier for a future baby. We support all paths to parenthood and all types of relationships. Our clients value their health and realize that lifestyle change involving nutrition, exercise, mental health, sleep, and how we live our everyday lives impacts our ability to get pregnant. Embracing a functional medicine model and significant changes to be healthier comes with a cost and commitment. Our clients are ready to move forward.
