Fertility challenges are a shared issue. Research shows that 30-40% of fertility problems involve male factors, such as low sperm count or poor sperm motility.

MYTH 2:

“Age is the only factor that matters.”


FACT:

While age is an important consideration, lifestyle, stress levels, and overall health significantly impact fertility for both men and women.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Fertility & Preconception

ANSWER:

Health for Life Naturopathic Medicine addresses fertility through hormone balancing, nutritional optimization, stress reduction, detoxification, and treating underlying conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid dysfunction. We support both male and female fertility with evidence-based natural therapies, often incorporating acupuncture and specialized nutrition counseling.

ANSWER:

We recommend comprehensive hormone panels, thyroid function tests, nutrient assessments, inflammatory markers, and specialized tests like AMH, FSH, and sperm analysis. Our testing helps identify factors that may be affecting conception and guides personalized treatment plans. Our comprehensive lab testing includes fertility-specific panels.

ANSWER:

Yes, our naturopathic doctors work with couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss by addressing potential causes such as hormone imbalances, immune dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, blood clotting disorders, and environmental factors that may affect pregnancy outcomes. We sometimes combine IV therapy with targeted supplementation for optimal support.

ANSWER:

Preconception care involves optimizing both partners’ health 3-6 months before trying to conceive. This includes balancing hormones, addressing nutritional deficiencies, reducing toxic burden, supporting egg and sperm quality, and creating the healthiest environment for conception and pregnancy. Our genetic testing services can also provide valuable information for family planning.

ANSWER:

Absolutely! We work collaboratively with reproductive endocrinologists to support couples through IVF, IUI, and other fertility treatments. Our natural therapies can improve treatment success rates by optimizing overall health, reducing stress, and supporting hormone balance. Many couples combine our acupuncture services with conventional fertility treatments.

ANSWER:

Since egg maturation takes about 90 days and sperm development takes 74 days, we typically recommend at least 3-4 months of preconception care. Many couples see improvements in energy, cycle regularity, and overall health within the first month, with fertility improvements following. Our collaborative care approach ensures ongoing support throughout your fertility journey.
