Restoring
Fertility

A four-month, high-level program designed to optimize your fertility and build the foundation for a healthy pregnancy.

The Approach

Why This Program

Many participants come to this program after years of trying to conceive, multiple fertility treatments, conflicting recommendations, or being told there are few options remaining.

The goal of the program is not to repeat what has already been done. Instead, we take a fresh and comprehensive look at the factors that influence fertility to identify those that may have been overlooked or inadequately addressed.

Fertility is influenced by a wide range of factors including immune function, hormones, metabolism, nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, and environmental exposures. While many approaches focus on individual factors, most fertility challenges involve the interaction of multiple factors.

The challenge is not simply gathering more information. The challenge is determining which factors are most relevant in your particular case and how they should be prioritized.

This program is designed to identify those factors and develop a structured, individualized plan to address them.

How It Works

Stage 01

Foundational Review & Clarity

We begin with an extensive review and synthesis of your medical and fertility history. This becomes the basis for a preliminary analysis, where we develop a working hypothesis about the factors most likely interfering with your fertility. From there, we design a plan to clarify those questions and to begin making changes where they are already warranted.

Stage 02

Personalized Strategy Development

As your body responds to the initial changes, we evaluate what those responses reveal and refine the strategy accordingly. Each recommendation is prioritized and phased based on its likely impact, its practicality, and its relevance to your particular situation, so that effort goes where it matters most rather than everywhere at once.

Stage 03

Guided Implementation & Refinement

Analysis is not a single event but a process. As the picture develops over the following months, we continue to adjust in response to new information and to how you are responding. The goal is not a plan you are left to implement, but a body whose obstacles to fertility have been addressed and that is ready to conceive. By then, fertility isn't something you're chasing. The conditions for it are simply part of how you live.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this program different from other fertility coaching programs?

Some fertility programs seem to cover similar areas. However, covering the same categories does not mean the analysis is equivalent. Two chefs can work with the same ingredients and produce very different results. Similarly, the value of a fertility program lies in the skill and judgment used to interpret the information, identify what matters most, and develop a focused course of action.

In this program, all visits are with Dr. Horn, who personally analyzes your medical history, fertility timeline, prior testing, treatment response, and broader health patterns.

This requires more than gathering data or generating a long list of possible recommendations. It requires clinical judgment, pattern recognition, and the ability to distinguish meaningful findings from those that are less likely to affect the outcome.

That judgment is informed by decades of research, teaching, and more than 25 years of clinical experience in fertility care. The result is a carefully prioritized and individualized strategy, not a generic protocol or an overwhelming list of recommendations.

Is this a medical program or does it replace my medical care?

No. The Restoring Fertility Program is designed to provide education, fertility optimization strategy, and decision support. It is not a substitute for, and does not replace, medical diagnosis or treatment from a licensed physician. Participants are encouraged to maintain an ongoing relationship with their local medical provider.

How is this different from consulting a reproductive endocrinologist?

The Restoring Fertility Program provides a different level and type of analysis. Rather than focusing primarily on reproductive diagnosis and treatment selection, the program examines the broader picture. The aim is to answer the question: "What are the factors making it difficult for me to become pregnant or remain pregnant?" from a functional standpoint.

Reproductive endocrinology training focuses almost exclusively on the reproductive system. However, the research literature suggests that a large percentage of fertility problems are caused or influenced by factors outside the reproductive system. In many cases, even the reproductive abnormalities identified by a fertility specialist may be downstream effects of broader issues involving metabolism, immune function, thyroid regulation, nutrition, lifestyle, stress physiology, or environmental exposures.

The Restoring Fertility Program was designed to identify, prioritize, and address those underlying and contributing factors.

Will I work directly with Dr. Horn?

Yes. All consultations and program guidance are provided directly by Dr. Horn.

What does the program include?

The female program includes eight sessions over four months, including a comprehensive initial consultation; review of fertility history, prior testing, and lifestyle factors; identification and prioritization of factors most likely to be influencing fertility; development of a structured, individualized strategy; guided implementation; and a final roadmap. The male program spans four months with five sessions.

How long is the program?

The Restoring Fertility program runs for four months and is divided into three stages: foundational review, personalized strategy development, and guided implementation & refinement.

Are labs and supplements required?

Some labs, tools, and supplements are commonly suggested to help provide clarity, track progress, or support areas of function that may be suboptimal. They can be very helpful, but none of them are strict requirements to participate in the program. Recommendations are always discussed in advance and aligned with your comfort level, and many clients are able to coordinate testing through their own physician.

Can couples enroll together?

While it is often beneficial for couples to enroll together, the analysis, guidance, and pricing remain individual. Working with both partners can sometimes reveal patterns that may not be apparent when evaluating only one member of the couple.

What does the program cost?

The program fee is $9,750 for women and $6,250 for men.

This fee includes working directly with Dr. Horn for four months. He personally reviews all of your information, conducts every session, makes each adjustment, and is available to you by direct message between sessions. It is not a set of materials or a protocol to follow on your own; it is four months of individualized attention.

Additional considerations for those using ART

In most major cities, a single IVF cycle averages around $25,000. Statistically, women undergo two to three IVF cycles per live birth. Many factors that are addressed by the Restoring Fertility program have been shown to significantly improve per-cycle IVF success rates — potentially reducing the number of IVF cycles to live birth, and thereby significantly reducing the cost per live birth.

IVF itself is a conception technology. It is not designed to identify or address the overall health of the mother, pregnancy, or child. An IVF clinic's job is to try to help you get pregnant and maintain that pregnancy through a fetal heartbeat.

The Restoring Fertility program is complementary. It works to improve the health of the parents, pregnancy, and subsequent child. It works to improve not only IVF success rates, but natural conception rates as well.

Are there additional costs?

While all additional labs, tracking tools, and supplements are optional, many clients choose to invest in additional testing or supplementation based on their individual situation. Recommendations are always discussed in advance, and clients are never required to purchase any particular product, test, or service. Supplement recommendations commonly range from approximately $100–$250 per month.

Why is pricing different for men and women?

The programs are different. Female reproductive physiology is more dynamic and time-sensitive, requiring more frequent tracking, pattern review, and adjustment. Male programs are equally important but typically require less frequent monitoring, review, and adjustment.

Do you accept insurance, HSA or FSA?

We do not accept insurance. However, some or all of this program may qualify for HSA/FSA. Please verify directly with your administrator.

What happens if I become pregnant during the program?

It is not unusual for pregnancies to occur as changes are made. In these cases, we simply focus on maintaining and supporting the pregnancy.

What happens after the four months?

You leave with a roadmap and plan that you can continue using independently. Graduates of the program receive 30 days of messaging support following completion at no additional charge.

What is the oldest patient you have helped conceive with her own eggs?

The oldest woman in Dr. Horn's practice to conceive naturally with her own eggs was 49, and she delivered a healthy baby at age 50.
