About This Course
Most members arrive at this course after years of being told their labs are normal. This nine-lesson course, recorded live for the Save the Uterus Club, opens with the definition Rebecca Vavilov, PhD, keeps returning to: find the cause, treat the disease, restore function. She walks through why a normal-looking chart and an ongoing symptom are not a contradiction, and why the ovulatory cycle belongs in the conversation as a vital sign, not an afterthought.
From there the course covers the full diagnostic roadmap: cycle charting and biomarkers, a full health history, cycle-timed hormone evaluation, structural evaluation, and why male factor is never left out of the workup. A short history lesson traces cycle science from early observation through Stein-Leventhal, Odeblad, and the development of NaProTechnology, then sets Restorative Reproductive Medicine directly against IVF: two different starting questions. One diagnoses and treats. One proceeds without answering the question first.
The closing lessons cover the published evidence behind cause-based care, a tour of the RRM Academy library and member resources, how the platform vets outside speakers and protects member data, and a candid look at clinics borrowing "root cause" language without the fundamentals behind it. The course ends with a live audience question on the federal policy fight for access to restorative care.
