Vital Fertility Jumpstart · Functional fertility care in Santa Cruz
Your labs may look normal, but you still don't know why pregnancy isn't happening.
The Vital Fertility Jumpstart is a focused 6 to 8 week fertility investigation and personalized roadmap for women and couples. We take a broader look at female and male fertility factors, so you can stop guessing and understand your next step.
For education and support of preconception health. The Jumpstart does not promise pregnancy or treat infertility.
Is this you?
You've done the right things. You still want a clearer picture.
Fertility can involve more than ovarian reserve and cycle timing. If you have been told everything looks fine, yet you are still looking for answers, the Jumpstart was designed for you.
A broader lens
Fertility is a shared story, and it deserves a full picture.
The Jumpstart looks at female and male fertility factors together, alongside your health history and any testing you have already done. The goal is to identify patterns and explore factors that may influence reproductive health, then turn them into a clear plan.
What makes our approach different
Functional fertility care that connects the dots
Standard fertility evaluations often focus on a short list of markers. Vital Fertility takes a functional, whole-body view of the factors that may influence reproductive health, for both partners.
What we investigate
Six areas that may shape your reproductive health
Reproductive hormones and cycle patterns
How your hormones and cycle rhythms look together, not just on a single day.
Thyroid and metabolic health
Thyroid function and blood sugar patterns that may influence reproductive health.
Inflammation and nutrient status
Markers of inflammation and key nutrients that support preconception health.
Vaginal & Gut Microbiome
Explored when appropriate, as part of a fuller picture of reproductive health.
Stress and cortisol patterns
How daily stress and your cortisol rhythm may be showing up in your body.
Male fertility, including semen health
Male factors are part of the conversation from the start, not an afterthought.

No. The Jumpstart is an investigation and roadmap to support preconception health. It does not promise pregnancy, improved fertility or any specific outcome, and it does not diagnose or treat infertility.
It can be. Many people use the Jumpstart to explore factors that may influence reproductive health before or alongside treatment. We encourage you to keep working with your fertility doctor.
If you have a partner who contributes to conception, male fertility evaluation is part of a complete picture, and we will discuss what applies to you. We are glad to support single women and all family structures.
Bring them. We review your health history and existing results in detail, and recommend only the testing that adds useful information.
Most people move through the Jumpstart in about 6 to 12 weeks. Timing varies with lab turnaround and your cycle.
