FOUNDER FERTILITY NOTES
Reflections on fertility, health, and the human journey toward creating life.
Drawing from more than two decades of caring for people trying to build families, Dr. Spence Pentland shares observations, clinical insights, and ideas that reach beyond tests, treatments, and protocols.
These notes explore not only what we can do to support fertility, but who we may become along the way – offering perspective, direction, and a more human way to understand the fertility journey.

Guest Post by Krista A. Parr
My Polish Babcia (Grandma) passed this recipe down to my mom, who passed it down to me. Iâve always loved it in late summer, as days are getting shorter and cooler and beautiful bunches of beets are plentiful at the farmerâs markets and in the garden.

Grilled Vegetable and Farro Salad
Guest Post by Krista A. Parr
Farro is an ancient strain of wheat with a much lower gluten content and a much higher protein content than common wheat. Itâs also packed with magnesium, zinc, iron, B vitamins, and fiber; all important elements of a balanced fertility diet.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)

The season of fresh local fruit has begun! Hooray! Strawberry and rhubarb are usually some of the first local fruits to emerge here on the West Coast, but you can make this recipe with whatever is local and in season as the summer progresses.
