About Infertility Support

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse (or 6 months for women over 35). Affecting approximately 1 in 8 couples, infertility can result from female factors, male factors, or a combination of both. Common causes include ovulatory disorders, endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, uterine abnormalities, poor egg or sperm quality, age-related decline in fertility, and unexplained infertility where no specific cause is identified. The emotional toll of infertility is significant, often involving grief, anxiety, relationship stress, and financial burden. Comprehensive naturopathic support can address underlying factors, optimize fertility potential, and support couples through their conception journey whether pursuing natural conception or assisted reproductive technologies.

Naturopathic Treatment for Infertility Support in Sammamish

Naturopathic infertility support takes a comprehensive, root-cause approach to optimize fertility potential and support couples emotionally through their journey. Thorough assessment includes complete fertility workup with hormone testing, ovarian reserve markers, thyroid function, and male fertility evaluation to identify specific contributing factors. Treatment protocols focus on improving egg and sperm quality through targeted nutrition emphasizing antioxidants, healthy fats, protein, and key fertility nutrients including CoQ10, vitamin D, omega-3s, and folate. Botanical medicines support hormonal balance, optimize ovulation, improve uterine lining quality, and reduce inflammation. Functional testing may identify hidden factors such as nutrient deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, or immune issues. Lifestyle interventions address stress management, sleep optimization, appropriate exercise, and eliminating toxins that affect fertility. For couples pursuing IVF or IUI, naturopathic support optimizes outcomes and reduces side effects. This integrative approach can improve conception rates, support healthy pregnancy, and help couples feel empowered and supported throughout their fertility journey.
