Understanding the Foundations of Fertility: A Pathway to Parenthood and Improved Health

As a Naturopathic Doctor with over 18 years of experience in the fertility world, I have helped hundreds of couples navigate the intricacies of supporting their fertility. Fertility is a complex and deeply personal aspect of health, influenced by a variety of factors. To empower those on this journey, our Fertility Foundations Course provides essential knowledge and tools to optimize reproductive health and improve all aspects of fertility – the chances of conception, a healthy pregnancy, and beyond.

Course Overview

The Fertility Foundations Course is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence fertility. Whether you are just beginning to explore your fertility or have been trying to conceive for some time, this course is structured to meet you where you are and guide you towards a deeper understanding of your reproductive health.

Key Topics Covered

Module 1 – Fertility Basics

The course begins with an overview of fertility awareness and understanding the emotional and physical aspects of fertility.  We then cover the basics of the menstrual cycle and discuss various ways one can track her cycle. We will also cover the “fertility window” and go through some basic fertility bloodwork that can provide valuable insights into hormone balance and reproductive health.

We go right into the heart of supporting fertility with our Nutrition module! We detail out how nutrients may impact fertility and outline the optimal fertility diet. We also discuss organic choices, food sensitivities, digestive health and blood sugar management.  Lastly, we cover fertility-specific nutrients one can consider to optimize their health.

Module 2 – Nutrition For Fertility

We go right into the heart of supporting fertility with our Nutrition module! We detail out how nutrients may impact fertility and outline the optimal fertility diet.  We also discuss organic choices, food sensitivities, digestive health and blood sugar management.  Lastly, we cover fertility-specific nutrients one can consider to optimize their health.

Module 3 – Lifestyle Enhancements

The fertility journey does not stop with diet and nutrients.  There are several lifestyle factors to consider to improve fertility.  We discuss how exercise and stress management techniques have an incredible positive impact. Other topics include pelvic health, home hydrotherapy and castor oil packs.

Module 4 – Hormones In Fertility

Hormones play a critical role in all aspects of fertility and we do a deep dive into the major players of hormone balance.  We cover various hormone imbalance conditions such as PCOS and PMS, and then go through ways to support a healthy menstrual cycle.

Module 5 – Detoxification and Fertility

A largely overlooked aspect influencing fertility is toxicity and detoxification. We describe how external and internal sources of toxins impact fertility and ways our body tries to keep our toxin burden low. We also go through healthy body care products and healthy home care products. Finally, we discuss heavy metals and then ways we can support detoxification.

Bonus Module:  Addressing Oxidative Stress

In my practice, I focus a lot on the importance of oxidative stress on fertility – so I made a whole module on it!  Consider it as a “so-important-you-cannot-miss-this” module that outlines ways you can actually control egg and sperm quality and further optimize fertility.

Empowering Your Journey

The Fertility Foundations Course is more than just an educational program; it is a source of empowerment. By understanding the fundamentals of fertility, you gain the knowledge and confidence to take proactive steps in your journey to parenthood. Our goal is to equip you with the tools you need to make informed decisions and optimize your reproductive health.
