Optimizing Fertility
I prefer to use the term “optimizing fertility” when treating
patients with fertility challenges. I find that one of the biggest
barriers to getting pregnant is the emotional component. The
title “infertility” often contributes to stress which only adds to
the problem. Patients are often so focused on what’s wrong
with them or their partner, they forget to look at the big picture
which is getting themselves into an optimal state of health, both
emotionally and physically.
Naturopathic medicine can be used simply from the nutritional
standpoint. Ensuring that a person is getting all the important
vitamins and minerals he or she needs is so important when
optimizing fertility. Herbal medicine can also be beneficial in
addressing a hormone imbalance. For example, an imbalance of
the estrogen/progesterone ratio can lead to fertility issues and
there are a number of great herbs that can correct this ratio.
Acupuncture also works at balancing the hormones as well as
increasing blood flow to the uterus.
Naturopathic medicine can be used at anytime during the fertility
process. Whether it be months or weeks before a couple want
to start trying to conceive or months or even years after, there
is still a lot that can done from a natural approach. Naturopathic
medicine can also be used as a compliment if one is undergoing
conventional treatment.
