Ready to take charge of your fertility and prepare for a healthy baby? Our Natural Fertility Program is your gateway to optimising reproductive health and enhancing your journey towards conception.
So, if you are thinking about having a baby now or in the future, it is never too early to start preparing and making changes to your general health and well-being. Preconception care is the ultimate form of preventative healthcare for you, your partner, and your baby. The preconception period is the perfect time to improve your lifestyle choices, enhance your health and address important health issues specific to you before you become pregnant.
Natalie loves helping people create their families, but for some, it is a long journey to conceive.
Why Choose Our Natural Fertility Program?
Whether you’re planning to conceive now or in the future, starting early with a natural approach can make a significant difference. By focusing on preconception care, you’re not only preparing your body but also setting the stage for a healthier pregnancy and a thriving baby. This program combines cutting-edge natural medicine with personalised care to help you and your partner achieve optimal health before conception.
Our Natural Fertility Program is comprehensive and innovatively designed to improve your overall well-being and get you in the best possible condition prior to conception. Following this program will help you prepare for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby, giving your child the best possible start in life.
This program uses natural medicines, including fertility herbs and supplements, to help overcome problems with fertility, menstrual health, and gynecological health. Research now confirms the importance of good nutrition during the preconception period.
Preconception care for both parents should begin at least 4 months before intended conception since sperm formation takes approximately 116 days, and ova are susceptible to damage 100 days before ovulation.
The more time is given to preconception care, the more effective natural fertility success will be.
PRECONCEPTION CARE TREATMENT MAY INCLUDE:
• DNA testing can help prepare your body for pregnancy by identifying genetic factors that might influence fertility and overall health.
• Vaginal Microbiome Testing-the vaginal microbiome has an impact on conception and fertility outcomes.
• Individualised Treatment-Fertility herbs, homeopathic supplements, vitamins and minerals, and a fertility diet are all designed to balance, strengthen, and tone both parents’ reproductive systems to ensure healthy eggs and sperm—for a healthy baby.
• Food Guidelines for Optimal Health During Pregnancy- a balanced nutritional fertility diet of key nutrients to provide the optimum environment for the development of a healthy baby.
• Environmental considerations include pesticides, food additives, electromagnetic radiation, smoking, caffeine, and alcohol consumption.
• Vega Screening and Hair Mineral Analysis – to determine if mineral imbalance or the presence of toxic metals is a contributing factor to infertility.
• Any pre-existing conditions affecting fertility that can be improved are explored, and a program is tailored to each person’s specific needs.
• Fertility Chart—This helps you become aware of your fertile times each month. You monitor this by using a fertility chart for temperature and mucus charting. The correct timing is crucial for the egg and the sperm to meet for conception.
• Staying pregnant – fertility herbs, fertility vitamins and minerals, and a fertility diet, including overall guidelines for maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
Every pregnancy is different, so naturopaths are trained to formulate treatments for the individual; therefore, what is suitable for one person may not be suitable for another.
INFERTILITY
Infertility, or sub-optimum fertility, can be due to many factors.
What is infertility?
Infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive within 12 months, who have had frequent unprotected intercourse (at least every 2-3 days). In Australia, 1 in 6 couples are classed as “infertile”. In the past, infertility was thought to be a female problem; however, we now know that both males and females equally contribute to the condition.
What causes infertility?
One of the most common causes of female infertility is due to the fact there is an ovulation disorder. In male infertility, the most common cause is attributed to a low sperm count.
What is Secondary Infertility?
It is defined as the inability to become pregnant or to carry a pregnancy to term following the birth of one or more biological children. The birth of the first child does not involve any assisted reproductive technologies or fertility medications.
Some conditions that can cause infertility
Failure to ovulate – approximately 29% of cases of infertility.
Hormone imbalance – caused by stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies, or environmental issues.
Low sperm count and poor sperm motility and morphology—the levels of sperm worldwide have halved in the last 50 years.
Allergy to sperm, hostile or dry mucous – preventing sperm from moving up through the cervix.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, and fibroids. Pelvic inflammatory disease – particularly Chlamydia.
Physical or emotional stress.
Overweight or underweight.
Low thyroid function, immune dysfunction, and insulin resistance.
Nutritional deficiency – certain vitamins and minerals are vital to fertility.
Smoking and Marijuana – Cigarette smokers take 30% longer to conceive.
Drugs – many medications and drugs can affect sperm counts and hormone levels.
Caffeine – has been shown to reduce fertility four times.
Environmental factors – exposure to chemicals, pesticides, and synthetic estrogens.
Heavy Metal Toxicity exposure to toxic metals can interfere with fertility.
Age – Fertility for women declines with age.
Our program aims to identify and address these root causes, offering natural solutions to improve reproductive health.
TREATMENT PLAN
Following medical and naturopathic evaluation, a treatment plan will be tailored to each couple. Treatment may include:
• Fertility herbs, homeopathic remedies, fertility vitamins, and mineral supplements, and a comprehensive infertility diet program.
• Fertility Chart to record mucus and temperature to help you become aware of your fertile times each month. Timing is crucial for the egg and the sperm to meet for conception to occur.
• Laser acupuncture to improve natural energy flow or “qi”. Laser acupuncture has been shown to improve fertility outcomes in many clinical studies.
• Neuro Emotional Technique – if required, to help deal with physical and mental concerns that may be affecting your health.
*Circle and Bloom Fertility Relaxation Program– to help with psychological stress impacting fertility. http://www.circlebloom.com/
• IVF – Herbal medicines, homeopathic remedies, and supplements will be prescribed to complement your individualised IVF Treatment.
• Diet—Recent research highlights that adopting a Mediterranean-style diet can be helpful. However, depending on gut inflammation, further food intolerance or histamine testing may be required.
• Pregnancy Care –Morning sickness, hypertension, pre-eclampsia, edema, anemia, constipation, cramps, heartburn, incontinence, cramps, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, stretch marks, thrush, urinary tract infections, insomnia, depression, stress, and miscarriage.
• Post-Pregnancy Care and Lactation– Herbal medicines and homeopathic remedies individually formulated to assist in promoting milk production, getting the uterus back into place after giving birth, and for postnatal depression.
