Dr. Kertia Duga serves as a specialist in the field of fertility, where she focuses on the middle ground between the gynecologist and the reproductive endocrinologist (IVF doctor) as she cares for women and couples navigating through the confusing landscape of infertility. She’s the best kind of doctor to see if you feel like your diagnosis doesn’t tell you what’s wrong. She takes her time to see the connections and follow the symptoms of disease to the root of the problem. 

Dr. Duga is able to identify root causes of infertility by using functional medicine testing and advanced hormone testing to look for optimal levels in labwork, and by also reviewing her clients’ menstrual cycle charts to bring into view the bigger picture. She’s a board-certified naturopathic physician with a subspecialty in integrative endocrinology, which means her medical specialty is in a subset of medicine called naturopathic medicine. Think of a family doctor, but instead of using drugs and surgery first and focusing less on diet and exercise, Dr. Duga is an expert in nutrition, exercise, supplements, and botanicals — which she focuses on first, before prescribing Western medicine allopathic drugs.
