"For some people, the treatments associated with RRM might be helpful. The problem, argue ACOG and ASRM, is that RRM... will limit access to the full range of evidence-based fertility care interventions." slate.com/news-and-pol...

Dueling approaches to infertility vie for Congress' attention Back-to-back congressional briefings pitted IVF against a less studied method for helping families conceive.

“Restorative reproductive medicine could not have given me my children — IVF did.” From our incredible patient advocate to our panel of doctors & experts, all agree that, while REIs provide a spectrum of care, RRM limits patients’ ability to access full service care.

The Weighty Issue of Obesity and Reproductive Success | Annals of Internal Medicine

Obesity is common and affects fertility. However, Dr. Penzias writes that we must consider other factors that weight loss cannot address in IVF decision-making. Conducting a comprehensive infertility evaluation before consideration of IVF is essential. www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

Drs. Ben Peipert, Jamie Kuhlman, and Eve Feinberg published a piece in Fertility and Sterility highlighting the ways that promoting RRM at the expense of IVF may violate reproductive autonomy and informed consent. www.asrm.org/news-and-eve...

What Is ‘Restorative Reproductive Medicine’? MAHA and conservative Christians are pushing a “natural” IVF alternative. It’s about as bad as it sounds.

"For many couples, Feinberg has seen that IVF is the only thing that works: 'It’s naïve and dangerous to say we can reverse the aging process, or that we can help patients get pregnant who have real biological barriers, without IVF.'" www.thecut.com/article/rest...
