Our Naturopathic Approach to Treating Fertility Issues

Our natural fertility treatment is based on improving cellular and mitochondrial health. Oocytes(eggs) as the largest cell in the human body have a large number of mitochondria — the cell's energy factory. The mitochondria of the oocytes have to do a lot of growing and work as they go through the process of maturation, fertilization and embryo formation.

During this process, the mitochondria and oocytes are susceptible to oxidative stress from inflammation, aging, insulin resistance, environmental toxins, which can damage egg quality and even cause changes in DNA function (epigenetics) that are transmitted to future generations.

These factors also have similar impacts on sperm health, and it is now known that epigenetic marks from both the mother and father are passed to future generations.

As a result, a foundation of our naturopathic fertility treatment is to protect and support egg and sperm quality.

The first step is a 2-hour initial appointment where your naturopathic doctor will carefully review your fertility goals and history, perform physical exams and recommend lab work when indicated.

After carefully reviewing your case, your naturopathic doctor will prescribe combinations of supplements along with a diet program and lifestyle suggestions to increase your ability to conceive. In some cases, we may also prescribe natural progesterone when indicated.
