From Infertility to Empowerment: Dee Davidson's Personal Journey That Led to Holistic Health
By: Dee Davidson, FDNP
Schedule a 1:1 Wellness Consult HereI never thought I’d be the one. The one who couldn't get pregnant easily. The one who sat in silence, month after month, holding her breath and then holding back tears.
Like so many women, I spent years trying not to get pregnant—on birth control, managing timing, thinking I had all the time in the world. But when I was ready to conceive… it wasn’t as easy as I thought.
I was told I had “unexplained infertility,” which is a diagnosis that, if you ask me, is both frustrating and dismissive. It’s not unexplained. It’s just unexplored.
That chapter of my life was painful, confusing, and isolating—but it was also the catalyst that led me to my life’s work. Today, I’m a Board-Certified Functional Health Practitioner helping other women prepare their bodies for pregnancy and optimal health outcomes—through testing, not guessing.
What I Learned About Fertility (That No One Tells You)
Here’s the truth: your body is brilliant. And it will always prioritize your survival over your fertility.
That means if your body is under stress—whether it’s emotional, nutritional, hormonal, environmental, or hidden on a lab test—you may not ovulate, implant, or carry a pregnancy to term as easily.
Let me say it another way: your body needs to feel safe in order to conceive and carry a baby.
What most doctors don’t tell you is that there are dozens of potential root causes that can quietly sabotage fertility, such as:
Blood sugar dysregulation (even if you’re not diabetic)
Mineral deficiencies (magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, and more)
Gut health issues like candida, parasites, or leaky gut
HPA Axis Dysfunction (aka adrenal fatigue)
Liver stagnation or sluggish detox pathways
Mold toxicity or hidden environmental exposures
Underlying viral load or immune challenges
Most of these don’t show up on conventional bloodwork. And sadly, they’re rarely explored unless you ask—or you work with someone who knows where to look.
Why I Became a Functional Health Practitioner
My experience with infertility broke me open—but it also lit a fire. I realized how much we weren’t being told as women.
I dove into functional medicine and holistic health, became certified as a Board Certified Functional Health Practitioner, and made it my mission to help other women uncover what’s really going on in their bodies.
Today, I specialize in identifying what I call vital voids and healing opportunities using functional lab testing. These tests help us create personalized self-treat protocols that support fertility, hormone balance, digestion, detox, and more.
Preparing the Body for Pregnancy – The Holistic Way
Whether you’re actively trying to conceive, thinking about it in the next year, or just wanting to get your hormones back in harmony—I want you to know: you don’t have to do this alone.
You can prepare your body to be the safest, strongest, most vital place for new life to grow.
You can uncover what’s standing in the way of conception or carrying to term.
