Weight Loss and Fertility

You've Found The One That Works!

Weight can play an important role in fertility and pregnancy success. While fertility challenges affect people of all sizes, research shows that being significantly underweight or overweight may impact hormone balance, ovulation, and fertility success. For safe and effective fertility care—especially with IVF—many clinics follow BMI guidelines (typically 18.5-40) to reduce risks like medication complications, egg retrieval challenges, safety of office sedation and pregnancy-related concerns.  But weight is just one factor, and optimizing your health before conception—whether through nutrition, movement, or medical support—can improve your chances of a healthy pregnancy. If you’re struggling with weight-related fertility barriers, we’ll work with you to create a realistic, compassionate plan tailored to your needs. Because every journey to parenthood is unique—and your health matters at every step from success conceiving, having a healthy pregnancy to living a long healthy life as a mother and grandmother!

Medi-Weightloss® Program

The Medi-Weightloss® Program is not just another diet it’s a physician-supervised and clinically-proven approach that helps our patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Our professionals focus on preventive medicine. After medical tests and in-depth consultation with each patient, our medical staff creates an individualized and comprehensive plan for each patient.

Weight loss is not just for women. Approximately 20% of the patients under Dr. Coussons care are men. Being overweight with high body fat and a large waist are bad signs and higher risk for heart disease in men. Some of our most successful patients are men. With higher muscle mass and simple eating habits we have many examples of male patients losing over 100 pounds. Many or our patients participate as a couple and help each other on the weight loss journey.
