From IVF to Root-Cause Approach: How Dr. Joseph Davis Found a New Vision for Fertility Care

“Almost everybody that I was seeing suddenly had years’ worth of tracking data.”

That’s Dr. Joseph Davis, DO, FACOG — a board-certified OB/GYN and reproductive endocrinologist with more than 15 years in fertility care — describing what happened when he finally started asking his patients about their cycles. In this interview by Molly Franzonello for FACTS About Fertility, Dr. Davis traces his path from a practice increasingly dominated by IVF to a restorative, root-cause approach to reproductive health, and explains why he now directs the FACTS Fertility Integrative and Restorative Medical (FIRM) Fellowship. You’ll learn how expanded insurance coverage helped make IVF the default answer to nearly every fertility issue, what changed when Dr. Davis began treating the menstrual cycle as a genuine fifth vital sign, and why he describes restorative reproductive medicine not as a replacement for his conventional training but as an expansion of it — “everything you know is good; that’s the foundation; here is everything else.” For anyone wondering whether root-cause fertility care can hold up under specialist scrutiny, this is a story worth reading.
