Naturopathic medicine for Fertility Issues

If you are trying to get pregnant, or are planning on trying soon, call us at 289 668 5433 to find out if our fertility program is right for you.

We have helped many struggling women conceive beautiful babies. Ideally, give yourself at least 3-9 months of preparation to ensure a healthy pregnancy, and the long-term health of your baby.

We can also improve outcomes if you are in the midst of IVF/IUI.

You may be feeling confused and frustrated regarding your attempts at conceiving. It may seem daunting, only having a certain window of time per month, only twelve times per year, to conceive. You may even be feeling depressed, anxious, and envious of the people around you having babies, seemingly effortlessly.

Most of our patients who come to us have described this exact feeling. Once they begin treatment, they start feeling empowered, proactive, and calmer.

Did you know that many of the causes of infertility are greatly helped with Naturopathic Medicine? Even if you have been diagnosed with “unexplained infertility”. Under the Naturopathic medical model, there are plenty of causative factors that are easily assisted with naturopathic care.

For example, slight hormonal imbalances; caused by subclinical hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, or food sensitivities can hinder your ability to conceive. These issues will not be diagnosed or looked for by your family doctor. There are many more factors like this to consider.

At our clinic, we use very sensitive assessment tools, like salivary hormone testing, and Auricular medicine. This allows us to pick up on very subtle imbalances.

Natural therapies such as acupuncture, nutrition, herbal and homeopathic medicine effectively allow us to remove blockages, diminish stress, balance blood sugar, hormones, the immune system, and detoxification and methylation pathways – all very important and necessary when trying to conceive, have a healthy pregnancy, and labour.
