4 Ways to be Proactive to Optimize Your Fertility
By Melanie Reidl, Naturopathic Doctor
Whether you are currently TTC (trying to conceive) and have yet to achieve a healthy pregnancy, or are planning to TTC within the next year, these 4 items are key!
You absolutely *DO NOT* need to wait an entire year before having some basic testing done to see if your fertility is being impacted by things such as: suboptimal metabolic health, thyroid function, hormone dysfunction, or nutritional status factors.
Here are 4 things you can do *NOW*:
1 – SCREENING BLOOD WORK
2 – CYCLE/HORMONE/HEALTH ASSESSMENT
3 – DIET & LIFESTYLE MODIFICATIONS
4 – INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPLEMENTS
In some cases, there is a true reproductive pathology (ie low ovarian reserve, low sperm count, severe endometriosis) that may require intervention from a fertility clinic.
However, in MANY CASES, the previously mentioned systems are dysfunctional, and it is a matter of determining which systems need targeted support (via diet, lifestyle, supplements, etc).
If you’re currently/soon to be TTC, I would be honoured to support you in your journey! BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
