What is the holistic approach to increase fertility?
A holistic approach to fertility includes a comprehensive understanding of all factors influencing reproductive health, extending well beyond just the physical aspects to recognize how important emotional, mental, and environmental elements are as well. This approach recognizes that fertility is influenced by interconnected factors, including hormones, diet, lifestyle, stress levels, emotional well-being, and environmental aspects. Rather than focusing solely on reproductive organs and functions, a holistic approach aims to address the entire individual, seeking to optimize overall health and wellness to enhance fertility naturally. This may involve personalized treatment plans based on your test results that integrate conventional and alternative therapies, such as nutrition counseling, herbal medicine, acupuncture, stress management techniques, and emotional support.

A Naturopathic Doctor can provide support to those undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) by complementing conventional treatments with holistic approaches that aim to enhance overall health and the chances of success. Through personalized care plans, we focus on preparing the body for IVF by addressing underlying factors that may impact success including nutritional deficiencies, and lifestyle habits. We may recommend specific dietary modifications, herbal supplements, acupuncture, and stress reduction techniques tailored to support reproductive health and improve IVF outcomes.
Which supplements are best for fertility?
Fertility Naturopathic Doctors can recommend and prescribe certain supplements that play a crucial role in supporting fertility by addressing nutritional deficiencies and promoting hormonal balance. Key supplements often recommended include prenatal vitamins containing folic acid, which supports healthy fetal development and reduces the risk of neural tube defects. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish oil supplements, help regulate hormone production and reduce inflammation, supporting overall reproductive health. Additionally, antioxidants such as vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 can help protect reproductive cells from oxidative damage and improve egg and sperm quality. Other beneficial supplements may include vitamin D, zinc, and iron, which play essential roles in hormone regulation, immune function, and reproductive health. When providing
