Bridging Medicine and Motherhood: Dr. Roxanne Pero’s Journey from Infertility to Functional Healing
In this deeply personal and empowering episode of Friends with Fertility, we sit down with Dr. Pero, a dedicated OB-GYN and Functional Medicine advocate whose own journey through infertility reshaped her approach to women’s health. Raised in a family of esteemed physicians in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Dr. Pero followed the path of Western medicine—until her lived experience revealed its limitations.
After being diagnosed with Endometriosis, Uterine Fibroids, Hormone Imbalance, and Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura—none of which “ran in her family”—Dr. Pero began to explore integrative solutions. Embracing nutrition, supplements, acupuncture, and a holistic lifestyle, she not only overcame her symptoms without surgery or hormone therapy, but went on to conceive three children and adopt a fourth.
Now, she uses her personal and professional experience to help others break free from the “one-size-fits-all” narrative of fertility care. In this episode, she shares her journey of healing, her passion for Functional Medicine, and how she empowers patients to reclaim their health and fertility with evidence-backed, whole-body approaches.
Tune in for a powerful reminder that healing is possible, hope is real, and your story isn’t over—it’s just beginning.
