As Seen in and Worked With:
Does This Sound Like You?
Clients seeking fertility nutrition support often come to me because they’re experiencing:
- Difficulty conceiving with no clear explanation
- Irregular cycles or hormone imbalance
- History of PCOS, thyroid issues, or miscarriage
- Low energy, stress, or burnout
- Digestive issues or nutrient deficiencies
- Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting fertility advice
You may have been told everything looks normal, or that your only option is to keep waiting. Often, fertility challenges are influenced by deeper nutritional and metabolic factors.

Testimonials from Happy (and Healthy) Clients
Beyond her incredible knowledge, she is one of the most present, patient and encouraging professionals I’ve encountered. She answers my questions and concerns with empathy and insight and after 6 months of working together I am feeling better than I can ever remember in my life. It sounds kinda crazy, but I truly feel like I have a second chance at life.
I’m living the way I always saw other people live- with energy, zest, excitement, and vibrancy- things that felt so out of reach through the fog of my own anxiety, depression, inflammation, gut-infections, OCD, hormonal imbalances, reproductive and fertility issues, perfectionism and debilitating fatigue and brain fog.

The healing I’ve experienced since starting the protocol Sami created for me is unbelievable. In just one month, I feel better than I have in years. I have more energy, am happier, can think more clearly, hives and acne have cleared from my skin, my PCOS symptoms have started to go away, my entire body has become less inflamed to the point where I have dropped an entire pant size – the list goes on. I can’t recommend working with Sami enough.
I wasn’t receiving any of the care I needed from any of my doctors, and believe I was on a path of destruction with my health that I didn’t know how to change. Sami had the knowledge and expertise to guide me and truly changed my life. It’s not easy to alter your lifestyle to find true healing, but with Sami’s protocol and support I have been able to.

How Nutrition Plays a Role in Fertility
From a functional nutrition perspective, fertility is influenced by more than reproductive organs alone. Common patterns include:
Hormone and Blood Sugar Balance
Blood sugar instability can disrupt ovulation, hormone signaling, and cycle regularity.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Low levels of nutrients such as zinc, iron, iodine, B vitamins, and magnesium can affect reproductive function.
Thyroid and Metabolic Health
Thyroid patterns often influence ovulation, cycle timing, and overall fertility health.
Gut and Inflammatory Factors
Digestive health impacts nutrient absorption and immune balance, both of which play a role in fertility.
What Clients Often Notice Over Time
Every journey is different, but clients commonly report:
-
More regular cycles or clearer cycle patterns
-
Improved energy and stress resilience
-
Better understanding of their body
-
Increased confidence in food and lifestyle choices
-
Feeling supported rather than overwhelmed
There are no overnight fixes, but with the right support, progress becomes sustainable and lasting.

Fertility Nutrition Support: Common Questions
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions that may help if you need assistance or have any inquiries.
Can a fertility nutritionist really help with infertility?
Yes. Nutrition plays a meaningful role in supporting hormone balance, nutrient status, and overall reproductive health.
Nutrient deficiencies can cause miscarriage. I often find that women who miscarry boys are deficient in zinc—it takes more zinc to create a male due to the prostate gland’s high zinc level.
Do you work alongside fertility doctors or OB-GYNs?
Yes. When appropriate and with your consent, I collaborate with your healthcare providers to support coordinated care.
Is this helpful if I’m doing IVF or fertility treatments?
Yes, many clients seek nutrition support alongside fertility treatments to support their overall health and resilience during the process.
Do you support male fertility as well?
Yes. Nutrition plays a role in sperm health, hormone balance, and overall fertility for partners as well.
Do I need lab testing before working with you?
Labs are an essential part of the process—they help me understand your unique biochemistry and inflammatory status so I can create a custom nutrient plan tailored specifically for you.
Is this available if I don’t live in North Carolina?
Yes. All sessions are virtual, and I work with clients nationwide and internationally.
How do I know if this is the right next step?
The best way is through a free one-on-one consultation where we talk through your situation and goals.
