Fertility

In Canada, 1 in 6 couples have difficulties conceiving. Trying to get pregnant can be extremely isolating, demoralizing, and challenging to navigate on your own. Whether you are trying to conceive naturally, or completing IUI/IVF, naturopathic medicine can help you feel confident in your health decisions for yourself and your future family, and help optimize your chances of successful conception.

Common Causes of Infertility I Frequently Treat:

  • Advanced age or ‘early menopause’ - known as Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

  • Poor egg quality or poor ovarian reserve

  • PCOS

  • Endometriosis

  • Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism

  • Hormonal Imbalances

  • Hypothalamic Amenorrhea

  • Hyperprolactinemia 

  • Toxin exposures

  • Immune dysfunction including autoimmunity

  • Implantation failure or recurrent pregnancy loss

Next Steps

If you are struggling with your fertility, you don’t have to deal with this on your own. I take a systematic, 5-step approach that takes the guesswork out of optimizing your fertility, and provides you with a customized and realistic treatment plan to help you move forward.

my 5-step approach

  1. Support Foundations - This includes a thorough dietary and lifestyle assessment, as well as day-to-day modifications to optimize fertility.

  2. Identify Barriers - We complete extensive, and individualized blood work to determine your specific hormone imbalances, general health parameters, and immune status allowing us to target treatment to your specific fertility obstacles.

  3. Correct The Microbiome - The microbiome is the foundation of lasting health, and has far-reaching impacts on our reproductive health. Working on this delicate system is a must in balancing hormones, optimizing immune health, and preparing the body for pregnancy.

  4. Customized Supplementation - We create a customized treatment plan for you based upon your lab results. This ensures your unique physiological needs are being met, and that we’re targeting your specific barriers to fertility.

  5. Maintenance - Once pregnancy is achieved, we create a new plan for you to carry forward into your pregnancy and beyond to help maintain results. I also educate you so you don’t have to continue seeing me - my optimal goal is that you become so healthy, you no longer need me!
