🚫 Not All “Healthy” Supplements Are Safe for Fertility or Pregnancy
Over the past few months, I’ve seen several patients who were taking natural health products that turned out to be contraindicated for fertility and pregnancy, and in each case, these products had been briefly reviewed by other healthcare providers, but no one had asked them to stop.

So I want to help bring awareness to this important topic. Many supplements contain ingredients that can quietly interfere with fertility treatment, hormone balance, or early pregnancy health. Even commonly used ingredients like excessive Vitamin A or licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra, non-DGL) can pose risks during preconception and pregnancy when not reviewed carefully.

✨ Why this matters:
Before starting or continuing any supplement, especially when trying to conceive, it’s important to have a safety and interaction check done. This helps ensure:
- No hidden contraindications with fertility medications
- No ingredients that could affect implantation or hormone balance
- The correct forms and doses for your current stage of care

As a Fertility Naturopath, my role is to help patients bridge these details: combining evidence-based natural support with fertility medicine safely and effectively.

If you’re preparing for pregnancy or fertility treatment, let this be your reminder to have your supplements reviewed. Sometimes even “healthy” products need fine-tuning to truly support your goals. 💛

Feeling Grateful & Hopeful Today ✨

This morning started with five beautiful emails from patients sharing their positive pregnancy tests 💌, and now I’m diving into the latest research on reproductive health to keep supporting more stories like theirs (Mondays are my research day). 💕

It’s these moments that remind me why evidence-based care matters so much, blending science with compassion to help hope turn into reality.

My little research assistant is keeping a close eye on things too 🐶💻

✨ The journey to a healthy pregnancy starts before the positive test! ✨

Preconception care is one of the most important, and often overlooked, steps in building the foundation for a healthy fertility journey, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. 💛

It’s not just about increasing your chances of conception, but also about optimizing your overall health so your body is ready to nurture new life.

💡 During this stage, we focus on:
• 🥕 Nutrition & supplements to support egg and s***m health, regulate cycles, and build nutrient stores for pregnancy
• 📈 Blood sugar balance and glucose metabolism to lower the risk of gestational diabetes and hormonal irregularities
• 🔥 Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress as both can impact implantation and early pregnancy
• 💕 Supporting mental health and stress resilience which influence quality of life, sleep and recovery
• 💊 Reviewing nutrients linked to lower risk for complications
•🧘‍♀️ Lifestyle modifications and focus on improving quality of sleep, movement, and environmental toxin reduction that promote hormonal and metabolic balance

✨ Preconception care isn’t just about fertility, it’s about giving your future self and your baby the healthiest start possible.
If you’re thinking about trying to conceive, now is the perfect time to begin preparing your body and mind.

✨Pause for a moment. Look at how far you’ve come✨

So much of your progress doesn’t get seen, the appointments, the lifestyle changes, the quiet discipline, the resilience. The courage it takes to keep showing up for your health, your future, and your family.

This week, I had the joy of meeting three new mothers. Women I’ve had the privilege of walking with through their infertility journey and are now entering their postpartum chapter. Moments like these remind me how transformative this journey can be.

As we move through the season of gratitude, I’m sending continued strength, calm, and good health to everyone still on their path. You’re doing more than you realize. 🌿💛

💚 You deserve to be heard, not rushed.

In our consults, we create space for your whole health story. Many patients come in with one main issue but it’s common that other questions and concerns come up along the way. And that’s not only okay, it’s encouraged!

By taking the time to address multiple concerns, we get a clearer picture of your overall health and how best to support you. My goal is that you leave each visit not just with one issue addressed, but with your quality of life moving forward in a meaningful way.

Your health is interconnected. Your care should be too. 🌱

“Put the books down, go enjoy yourself.” A reminder from my mom I’ll never forget.

Today would have been my mom’s 61st birthday. She passed in 2018, but the things she used to say still ring true for me today.

In most South Asian homes, parents push hard for school, grades, and careers. My mom was the opposite. Whenever she saw me with big textbooks or staying in to study, she’d say: “Why bother? Go out, have fun, sing, dance, live a little.”

That was one of the many gifts she gave to my sister and I, the reminder that life isn’t only about work or achievements. It’s also about joy, art, music, and the things that feed our soul. I still carry that with me today, and honestly, it’s something I think many of us need to hear. Don’t get so lost in projects and checklists that you forget to enjoy the richness of life.

And for those lucky enough to still have their mom around, don’t wait to call, to laugh, to share. You never know when that chance won’t be there anymore.

This photo was from my graduation at CCNM, one of my proudest days, and I’m so grateful she was by my side.

Happy heavenly birthday, Mom.
I hope this little reminder from her speaks to you too. 💕

✨ I don’t see my work as “office hours” for me to get through in a day. Every time I walk into the clinic, I show up with heart and soul, ready to help change lives.

🌱 Fertility care here is not just about tests or protocols. It’s about being heard, seen, and supported with a plan made just for you.

💛 To all my new and longtime followers…thank you for being here. If you’re ready for care where compassion meets evidence, that’s what I am here for.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of the people I’ve had the privilege to support. Even long after our visits together, I often find myself holding patients in my heart…quietly sending wishes, hopes, and prayers for their health, happiness, and families. 💛

When I sit with someone in clinic, I know I’m only with them for a chapter of their story. But the care doesn’t end when the appointment does. Whether it was walking through hardship or sharing in the joy of new beginnings, those moments stay with me.

And if we have ever worked together, please know I am still cheering you on. 🌱 My hopes and intentions for you don’t fade with time. I continue to wish you nothing but strength, love, and the life you’ve been working so hard toward, even years later.

✨ One of the most inspiring parts of my work is witnessing the pure commitment people have to improving their health. The drive, the effort, the sacrifices, it’s incredible! But many feel they have to walk this road alone.

The truth is, you don’t. 💡 Guidance matters. The right support can save your most valuable resource: time. Too often, people exhaust themselves trying strategies that don’t bring the results they’re hoping for. With compassionate and evidence-based guidance, that path can become clearer, lighter, and more effective.

Today, I had the privilege of working with patients preparing for IVF, new parents in their postpartum journey, and couples counting down the last few weeks of pregnancy 🤰. In each consult, we uncovered small but powerful changes they hadn’t considered. Adjustments that may save them energy, stress, and precious time.

You don’t have to go it alone. We’re here to walk with you, guide you, and help you move closer to the results you’ve been working toward. 🌱💙

✨ Not just back to school, but back to purpose. ✨

Today marks back to school for many, but for me every week feels like a fresh start. I get to walk into the clinic with the same excitement: ready to show up fully, to listen, to guide, and to give everything I can for my patients.

Helping people move forward in their reproductive journey is not just work, it is a calling. Each story, each challenge, and each small step forward reminds me why I am so grateful to do what I do. 💛

Here’s to new beginnings, whether in classrooms or in clinics, and to the impact we can make when we truly care. 🌱

💕 Navigating infertility can feel profoundly isolating. There are early mornings for blood work, quiet scans, calendar math, and the ache of waiting. Even with love around you, it can feel like carrying a private weight that words do not quite capture.

Our mission is to make this process comfortable and clear. We offer time and space to breathe, steady guidance in plain language, and evidence based care tailored to your story. We coordinate adjunctive evidence-based care by supporting nutrition, supplement plans, lifestyle modifications, herbal medicine, acupuncture protocols and much more to support your journey. And we check in so you don’t have to wonder what comes next.

We cannot remove every uncertainty, but we can sit with you in it, advocate for you, and help you move toward conception and parenthood with steadiness and hope. Our work is to help fulfill family dreams in a way that is appropriate, compassionate, and aligned with your values and medical plan. 💛
