In this episode, Helena Tubridy welcomes Dr. Codruta, medical director of Saol Nua Clinic, sharing an effective and science-backed approach to reproductive health: Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM).
Dr. Codruta brings clarity and warmth to what can often feel like a confusing and overwhelming journey. She explains how RRM focuses on identifying and treating the underlying causes of fertility issues rather than simply bypassing them with medication or IVF. The focus is on preparing for a healthy pregnancy, often after miscarriage, secondary infertility, or over the age of 40.
They discuss the key principles of Restorative Reproductive Medicine and the common mistakes and missed diagnoses that many couples face. Dr Codruta shares why a thorough investigation is essential before treatment begins. They also talk about how hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, endometriosis, and cycle irregularities can all impact fertility and how they can be effectively treated and higlight the often-overlooked role of mindset, mental health and emotional wellbeing. How a fertility doctor and fertility coach work together to help couples achieve pregnancy more easily.
A warm and honest conversation packed with compassion, insight, and practical guidance for couples trying to conceive naturally, or those who feel stuck after failed fertility treatments.
Dr. Codruta offers a refreshing and dynamic perspective: with the right investigations, an integrative approach and expert support, many couples can and do achieve pregnancy naturally, without rushing into invasive options.
