Patti Yik: Reproductive Immunology as a Missing Link in Unexplained Infertility and Pregnancy Loss
Patti Yik, Naturopathic Doctor/Owner at Vive Integrative Health Group, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Reproductive Immunology is one of the most overlooked pieces in fertility care—and yet, it holds answers for many of the women I work with who’ve experienced recurrent pregnancy loss or implantation failure despite doing ‘everything right.’
In my practice, we go beyond hormones and egg quality to ask:
- Are elevated natural killer (NK) cells preventing embryo implantation?
- Is an imbalanced TH1/TH2 cytokine profile creating a hostile uterine environment?
- Are autoimmune conditions quietly interfering with early pregnancy?
These aren’t abstract concepts—they’re measurable, actionable, and treatable.
Learn more in my latest blog article.
Let’s keep expanding the conversation about what really impacts fertility.”
