In a nutshell, fertility really is about good health - when our bodies are healthy and vital, then our cells, organs and body systems function optimally - and naturopaths are really good at helping your body to function optimally! So when your reproductive system is healthy and vital, it ‘does its thing’ by trying to get you pregnant each month 🤰

What does a healthy female reproductive system look like?
✅ regular cycles (whatever length is usual for you, ideally between 26-32 days)
✅ minimal cramping or pain with bleeds
✅ minimal pre-menstrual symptoms
✅ no spotting or pain around ovulation, or in the days leading up to your period
✅ bright red blood with no large clots or flooding, lasting 3-5 days 🩸

As a fertility naturopath, the first thing I’ll do is look at your cycles to see what they can tell us. If your pattern differs from that described above, don’t stress - this is where all the diet, lifestyle and magic herbal medicine come in to correct imbalances (including PCOS, endometriosis, irregular or absent cycles) contributing to your hormonal symptoms.

We’ll also look at anything that’s potentially impeding your ability to conceive, and aim to correct this; and we’ll talk about all the research that tells us what HELPS you to conceive, and make sure we’re adding that in where necessary 👍

And the best part of the process: you’ll finally feel like you understand your body, your cycles and your hormones, and feel empowered to continue on your fertility journey in the knowledge that you’re as healthy and vital as possible 🙌
