Fertility for Over 40s with Lorne Brown
How best to support your patients in their 40s – whether they are doing IVF with their own eggs, or donor egg IVF or trying naturally? Biological age is the main factor that determines fertility in women of any age, but particularly in those above the age of 40. Lorne discusses the integrative approach used in his clinic, and goes into detail about how he runs his fertility clinic – from talking with his patients about their expectations, their treatment timeframes and how best to discuss the types of treatments they are considering.
When the IVF window closes, the Chinese medicine window remains open. Our medicine helps in cultivating the soil: enhancing the uterine environment, improving blood flow to the ovaries and protecting the Jing – improving her fertility potential and overall health and vitality.
