Fertility issues for both men and women can be both overwhelming and stressful, and it can be difficult to know where to begin in seeking a solution. At Elite Personalized Medicine, we look to treat the entire person and balance the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects for a well-rounded and effective way to increase fertility. Here’s our natural and holistic approach to infertility treatments:
Hormone Replacement Therapy
One of the most prominent causes of infertility in women is hormone imbalance. PCOS, endometriosis, and other hormonal conditions interrupt the ovulation cycle, and the best way to combat this problem is through hormone replacement therapy. This is a completely natural and safe treatment personalized to the patient’s unique needs. As a leader in functional medicine, our practitioners work closely with you to create infertility treatments that treat the underlying issues and get you on the road to better health and wellness.
Lifestyle Changes
You may not think that diet, exercise, and sleep habits have anything to do with infertility struggles, but you would be wrong. Eating well, staying active, and getting enough sleep is crucial for your body to function at its best and play a direct role in keeping your hormones balanced and reducing stress, another large factor of infertility we’ll discuss next. We offer health coaching services so that you can have the support and accountability you need to make the necessary lifestyle changes. Here are a few tips we recommend to anyone struggling with infertility:
- Eat more fish and foods rich in omega-3s and fatty acids.
- Vitamins C, B, E, and zinc are especially helpful for productive health in both men and women.
- Stay away from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, as they increase inflammation in the body.
- Limit sugar and caffeine as both are linked to negative effects on the body, especially when trying to conceive.
- Weekly, moderate exercise improves mood, reduces stress, and also helps you sleep better.
- 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night is essential for recharging your body.
Stress Management
Men and women can greatly benefit from stress management to better the odds of getting pregnant, but it’s especially recommended for female infertility treatments in the form of acupuncture, yoga, and chiropractic care. Stress leads to mental health struggles and affects the body in many physical ways as well, making it one of the biggest hindrances to fertility. Take a close look at the stressors in your life and try to eliminate as many of them as possible while looking for practical solutions and ways to cope with the help of a professional. Maintaining your overall well-being gives your mind and body the best chance at achieving a healthy pregnancy.
Fertility Supplements
Before adding any supplements to your daily routine, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional about what types of supplements could be beneficial for you. Incorporating high-quality, natural products from our online supplement shop could be helpful as a part of your infertility treatment. Specific supplements to consider are Balance, which is designed to maintain a healthy menstrual cycle, Progesterone, and Chaste Berry, which eases the menopausal transition, supports reproductive system health and assists in balancing female hormone levels.
