Christina Yannetsos

Christina moved to Colorado from Miami, Florida to train at the Olympic Training Center in the sport of judo. She qualified her division for the 2004 Olympics for the US, and attended the Olympics in Athens, Greece as Olympic Alternate after sustaining an injury at Olympic Trials. It was after this that she decided to pursue her life long passion of caring for patients. She completed her undergraduate education at the University of Colorado, graduating with honors on the Dean's list with a major in Biology, minor in psychology. Her dream was achieved when she was accepted to medical school and completed her residency in Emergency Medicine becoming a Board Certified Physician. Throughout her education, the importance of being a passionate advocate for patients and her community stood strong. She values contributing to her community and volunteered to teach Obesity Education, Ready Set Fit to underprivileged schools; volunteered for Non profits such as Free Healthcare Clinics, Big Brothers and Big Sisters events, Special Kids Special Families; created fundraisers for Cinderella’s Closet and the Wisconsin Alliance Fire Safety Burn Camp, and continues to volunteer for the USOC and USA Judo as team physician.

After spending years "trying not to get pregnant" she realized that she too was an infertility warrior battling the emotional, physical and significant financial challenges associated with infertility. Frustrated with the lack of resources and support to build families, she started Colorado Fertility Advocacy with the hopes of joining passionate like minds who can be the voice to create change for others struggling with infertility. Here is where she was fortunate to find strong, passionate voices willing to unite to become advocates for our Colorado families and the form the non profit Colorado Fertility Advocates. Dog mom and Wife to a loving supportive husband, she continues her journey with the hopes to add a miracle baby to their family and desire to help others do the same.
