Fertility
We tend to take our ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term for granted. In recent years, though, more and more people have come to realize that a lot of issues can get in the way of your trying to start or grow your family. We live in a stressful world and are exposed to many worrisome toxins through our food, water and the air that can not only lead to serious illness but also interfere with your reproductive health.
For some individuals, starting in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is the right choice, but for many others a discussion with a holistic, integrative fertility specialist may open your eyes to the choices and opportunities you have to improve your health and fertility naturally. Chinese medicine and naturopathic approaches are now mainstream strategies to help you balance your hormones, reduce your toxin burden, and help create an environment in your body that promotes conception and a healthy pregnancy.
The best time to start these natural therapies is at least three to four months, if not longer, before you hope to get pregnant, either naturally or using assisted reproductive technology (ART). The success rate of IVF procedures increases statistically if you add acupuncture treatments to your journey.
We use specific nutrition protocols and botanical prescriptions to help you improve your menstrual cycle, egg & sperm quality, and functioning of your uterus. All these approaches can be combined according to your needs and circumstances.
