The rate of infertility in couples today continues to rise. Male sperm count has dropped by over half in the past century. There is an epidemic of endometriosis, PMS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), fibroids, etc. These conditions have paralleled the rise in metabolic diseases – prediabetes and diabetes. The rate of lost pregnancies and prematurity have risen as well.
They are all related. The connections are insulin resistance and endocrine disruption chemicals.
Over the years, Waters Center for Biological Medicine has treated women for chronic fatigue syndrome, who had also been infertile and failed to get pregnant with standard fertility treatment. After correcting their nutritional deficiencies, thyroid and steroid hormone function and weight problems related to insulin resistance, they surprisingly got pregnant. We realized that a lot of the infertility problems are actually metabolic, and this is increasingly being born out by research.
We offer a thorough couple’s health history and metabolism-directed physical exam along with focused laboratory tests and construct a diet and lifestyle program along with interventions to correct nutritional deficiencies and endocrine function in both partners. This will ensure maximum health and tip the odds in your favor to get pregnant and carry your baby to term. It will also of course give your baby the best intrauterine environment and healthy start in their new world.
Couples without known fertility problems have also consulted us to optimize their health and that of their future baby.
We plan our careers, work life, homes and even vacations. Shouldn’t we plan the most important thing a couple can do – bring a new human into the world?

Tailored to you.We look at symptoms and complaints, your medical history, your family history, your diet and your lifestyle. He gets to the bottom of the issues, not just treat the symptoms. We don’t get too hung up on “diagnoses” but rather work on restoring health. He also looks extensively at diet and digestion as a basis to most medical issues; we promote a low carb, grain-free, sugar-free diet with focus on eating real food, limited processed food.
When a new patient comes to see Dr. Waters for the first time, he does a history, physical and consultation that lasts about 1½ hour, and included in your consult is a session with our structural therapist for about 30 minutes. We require a series of laboratory testing that includes lipids, liver/kidney functions, electrolytes, iron status, blood sugar status, urinalysis, in-depth thyroid function, vitamin D level, DHEA, cortisol level and mineral analysis. There will be additional tests needed based on what he finds during the consultation, such as hormones, heavy metals, digestive analysis, cardiac analysis, Lyme testing, anti-aging marker, etc. (these are done on an as-needed basis). Read more about our comprehensive laboratory testing here. Treatment plans are individualized for each patient. There will be specific diet changes, nutritional supplements, sometimes prescription medications and possibly IV treatments and/or Low Dose Antigen Therapy depending on the findings. Treatments will be explained and quoted after he writes the order. |
