PRECONCEPTION TESTING 🤰🏼

Planning to conceive in the near future? Swipe to see the baseline testing I recommend before embarking on your fertility journey. ➡️🤱🏻✨

▫️ DAY 3 HORMONES - These give us important information regarding how well your HPO (hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian) axis is working and if there are any underlying imbalances that could negatively impact your fertility.

▫️ LUTEAL PHASE PROGESTERONE - This helps us confirm whether or not ovulation is occurring. Healthy progesterone levels are needed to sustain a pregnancy.

▫️ NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES - Adequate levels of these nutrients are integral for healthy fetal development and deficiencies can negatively impact fertility. Let’s work on repleting these before you conceive!!

▫️ THYROID PANEL - Thyroid function plays a role in the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and fertility. Elevated levels of thyroid antibodies increase your risk of miscarriage and imbalances in thyroid hormones can negatively impact fetal development.

Let’s work together to set you up for a healthy pregnancy & give your baby the best possible start! 🤍💫

Did you know…

Vitamin D deficiency can worsen menstrual pain! 🤯💥

Studies have found associations between vitamin D deficiency and worsened menstrual pain. They have also found that when you supplement with vitamin D & correct the deficiency, menstrual pain improves. 🙌🏼

How can this be? 🤔

Vitamin D plays an important role in the inflammatory, immune response, which also plays a role in menstrual pain.

Women who experience menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) tend to release more inflammatory compounds called prostaglandins, which lead to uterine ischemia, contractions, and pain. 😖

It is thought that vitamin D plays a role in regulating prostaglandin synthesis and breakdown, which has a positive effect in reducing menstrual pain.

Another win for vitamin D! 🙌🏼

Remember that it’s important to get your vitamin D levels tested and speak with a licensed healthcare provider prior to starting any new supplementation. Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that can be toxic in high amounts. This is why it’s best to test, not guess! 🩸

ENDOMETRIOSIS & FERTILITY 🤰🏼

Fertility can be a challenge when you have endometriosis. It is estimated that between 30-50% of women with endometriosis experience infertility. Infertile women are 6 to 8 times (!!) more likely to have endometriosis compared to fertile women. 😔

This isn’t to say that every woman who has endometriosis will have infertility BUT it can be a big contributing factor depending on the severity of disease and location of endometrial lesions.

So what are the factors present in endometriosis that affect fertility?? 🤔

〰️ STRUCTURAL - pelvic or tubal adhesions that prevent or disrupt the process of fertilization and/or implantation from occurring

〰️ HORMONES - abnormalities leading to ovulatory dysfunction, impaired follicle formation & growth, and luteal phase defects

〰️ INFLAMMATION - negative effects on egg & s***m quality, as well as the implantation process

〰️ IMMUNE - altered immune function affects endometrial receptivity and implantation

〰️ ABNORMAL UTERINE CONTRACTILITY - can interfere with conception/implantation and the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy

The good news? Naturopathic medicine has much to offer when it comes to balancing hormones, reducing inflammation, supporting immune function, and relaxing uterine contractility! 🙏🏼

PERIOD PAIN: Is It Endometriosis? 💥😵

Period pain is an extremely common concern among menstruating women and one that I see quite often in my practice. Many times my patients will ask: “What is causing my period pain?” “Do you think it could be endometriosis?” 🤔

Period pain can be caused and exasperated by MANY different things. Some of these include:
〰️ inflammation
〰️ food sensitivities, IBS, and IBD (microbiome disturbances & altered GI function)
〰️ uterine fibroids & cysts
〰️ infections
〰️ PCOS
〰️ …. and endometriosis

Taking a thorough history of your overall health, menstrual health, and pain patterns, along with diagnostic testing, can help us determine what the underlying cause(s) of your menstrual pain is.

Some of the typical signs & symptoms of endometriosis include:
💥 cyclical pelvic pain
💥 pain experienced during in*******se
💥 pain with urination or bowel movements while on your period
💥 altered or heavy menstrual flow
💥 difficulty conceiving or a history of infertility
💥 family history of endometriosis

If you struggle with period pain, know that there ARE answers and highly effective treatment options!! If you’re ready to experience pain-free periods, book your visit today to get started! 👩🏼‍⚕️🤍

3 HABITS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING TO YOUR BURNOUT 😵

🙅🏼‍♀️ SKIPPING MEALS - Skipping meals or going long periods of time without eating leads to periods of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). When your body is in a hypoglycaemia state, cortisol (a stress hormone) is released in response to raise blood glucose back into a healthy range. In an already overflowing stress system, this creates additional stress that can worsen burnout.

🙅🏼‍♀️ SKIPPING OUT ON SLEEP - Skipping out on sleep interferes with your body’s ability to recover from daily stressors. Adequate, good quality sleep is needed to restore and rejuvenate the body & mind. Lack of sleep leads to less stress resilience, additional fatigue, and physiological changes that further contribute to and worsen burnout.

🙅🏼‍♀️ OVER-EXERCISE - Exercise acts as a *positive* stress on the body. However, when we already have high amounts of stress and/or our body reserves are depleted, it can serve as a negative stress on the system. Over-exercise can occur with exercise that is too intense, too long in duration, and/or too frequent. Making adequate time for rest & recovery is key!

If you’re struggling with chronic fatigue, burnout, or mood changes, let’s break the cycle together. Book your visit to get started! ✨

WHAT’S CAUSING YOUR BLOAT? 🤰🏼

Though bloating is an extremely COMMON symptom, it is not necessarily normal. ❌

Occasional bloating here and there is not something to fret about, but:
✔️ when it begins to happen more consistently
✔️ becomes more severe (ie. looking a few months pregnant 🤰🏼)
✔️ and/or is associated with other symptoms (such as nausea, acid reflux, or bowel movement changes)
…. that is when it should be investigated. 🕵🏼‍♀️

There are many causes of bloating! Swipe to see some of the most common that I see in practice. ➡️

If you’re tired of stubborn, uncomfortable bloating, let’s work together to banish it once and for all! 🙅🏼‍♀️

HORMONE TESTING 🩸

Hormone testing is an essential piece in solving your period irregularities & hormone related symptoms! 😵‍💫🫠

There are MANY different ways we can test hormones, but blood testing is a good place to start.

What most people don’t know is that when we’re testing hormones, the DAY & TIME that they get tested on matters!!! ⏰

Generally, there are 3 different time frames throughout the menstrual cycle to test hormones:

▫️ DAY 3: estradiol, LH, and FSH

▫️ MID-LUTEAL (For a 28 day cycle, this falls on day 21. However, for menstrual cycles that are longer or shorter, this day changes.): progesterone

▫️ ANY DAY: testosterone, DHEAS, prolactin, thyroid hormone, cortisol, and insulin

☀️ Tests that should be done in the morning (between 8-10am) include: testosterone, thyroid hormone, cortisol, and insulin.

Some tests require special prep, such as fasting, avoiding vigorous exercise, and avoiding caffeine prior to the blood draw. ☕️❌

It’s always best to confirm with your doctor WHEN you should get the test done (day & time) and if there’s any special prep required.

*If you found this post helpful, save it for future reference.*

And as always, if you’re tired of dealing with debilitating fatigue, PMS, cramps, bloating (& more) each month, book your visit to begin your path to balanced hormones! ✨

LONG MENSTRUAL CYCLES 🗓️🩸

Do you experience long menstrual cycles?

The normal, average length of a menstrual cycle is 28 days. 🗓️

Day 1 of your cycle is the first day of your bleed. That cycle ends on the day prior to your next period.

A long cycle is considered 35 days or longer and can indicate anovulation (lack of ovulation). There are many reasons why ovulation may not occur, depending on your age, life circumstances, medical history, and lifestyle habits…. Which is why it’s important to get a proper workup done!! 👩🏼‍⚕️🤍

Ovulation is important for more than just fertility. It is how we produce & sustain progesterone levels, which play a role in sleep, mood, cognitive function, metabolism, immune function + more. 🙌🏼

If you are experiencing long cycles, lengthening cycles, or irregular cycles, book a free discovery call to learn how to get your hormones back in balance! 🩸✨
