Fertility Naturopath – your clinical detective

Our fertility naturopaths work as your clinical detective, pulling together information from your previous health history, current health issues, test results, and other sources to assess your fertility status and assist you in your journey to creating a healthy family. Depending on your individual presentation, our fertility naturopaths will incorporate some or all of the following in their diagnostic assessment:

  • nutritional deficiency checks
  • hormonal balance tests
  • detailed dietary assessment
  • blood tests to assess your cellular health and tissue performance
  • genetic testing regarding metabolism of specific nutrients
  • diagnosed conditions such as autoimmune or thyroid conditions
  • signs and symptoms in any system you reveal in your consultation
  • a detailed personal and family health history
  • environmental toxin load from work or home

This detail helps your fertility naturopath put together a plan to improve your fertility by optimising the function of cells and tissues, balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, improving nutritional status and addressing pre-existing conditions that may have an impact on your fertility – even if in an indirect way. Particular care is also taken to ensure they support the most important areas for fertility such as supporting your nervous system, stress levels and stress responses, uterine lining support, egg quality, hormonal balance, sperm development in males and specific issues such as poor responders in IVF treatment situations.

Your plan will always include very detailed diet and lifestyle interventions (food as medicine), specific to you, which is also appropriately augmented with nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine and sometimes homeopathy.  Our fertility naturopaths may also recommend support from other practitioners or be in communication with other carers to ensure comprehensive care and optimum results. The aim is to ensure you have sufficient energy and nutritional status to conceive, experience a healthy pregnancy and go on to have a healthy, happy baby!

Patients consistently report that with naturopathic support they feel:

  • a sense of empowerment and understanding through education and support
  • increased energy and sense of wellbeing
  • healthier reproductive cycle with more awareness of ovulation and timing
  • less stressed and better sleep
  • improvement in general health and presenting symptoms

All undertake continuous professional development to maintain the highest standard of care delivery in practice. All of our practitioners work confidently in conjunction with your other health care providers both within Fertile Ground and with your medical specialist and other carers. Where necessary, and with your consent, they will notify them of treatment you are receiving to ensure a safe combined approach.
