In this episode of The Hormone Café, Dr. Sarah Pederson explains how IV nutrient therapy can support fertility when diet and supplements aren’t enough. She breaks down why nutrient deficiencies persist despite “doing everything right,” how IVs bypass absorption barriers, and how targeted IV formulations can improve egg quality, sperm quality, implantation, and surgical recovery.
