My Approach (aka my difference)
What sets my practice apart
You’re not a template—and your care shouldn’t be either. I provide integrative, evidence-led functional fertility care that’s personalized to you (and your partner) and grounded in both data and deep listening.
How I work:
Personalized, not protocol-driven: No two cases are alike. Your plan reflects your history, goals, and biology.
Data + story: We pair an in-depth intake with targeted labs (cycle-timed hormones, thyroid/autoimmune, metabolic/insulin, lipids, micronutrients, inflammation, gut–vaginal–when appropriate endometrial—microbiome) and male-factor testing (semen analysis, DNA fragmentation) to see the full picture.
Root-cause + relief now: We address upstream drivers while easing current symptoms. (Example: if insomnia is the issue, we’ll support sleep immediately while we correct adrenal and circadian imbalances.)
Whole-system approach: Hormones, gut, immune, thyroid, mitochondria, detox, nervous system, and microcirculation—because fertility is an ecosystem.
Targeted interventions: Therapeutic nutrition, evidence-based supplements/botanicals, mitochondrial support, toxin-light living, stress and nervous-system tools, sleep/circadian work, and movement strategies.
Collaborative care: I coordinate with your existing team—reproductive endocrinologists/OB-GYNs, acupuncturists, primary care, pelvic floor PTs, and therapists—so your plan is cohesive.
Education first: I explain the “why” behind every recommendation so you can make confident, informed decisions.
Prevention and optimization: We don’t settle for “normal.” The aim is optimal fertility health and resilience.
Genetics, empowered: Your genes are the blueprint; lifestyle and environment influence expression. We use that to your advantage.
Measurable progress: Clear goals, trackers, and lab re-checks to validate what’s improving and what needs refinement.
Bottom line: thoughtful, thorough, and truly personalized care—so you’re not just managing symptoms, you’re building the conditions for conception and long-term health.
“I was told that because of my age (41) I would not be able to get pregnant without using a donor egg. I wanted to try on my own first so began working with Dr. Terzo to improve my egg quality and do everything I could to get my body ready for pregnancy. I began her program and did everything she suggested and now I am 6 months pregnant with a boy! ”
