Infertility

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year. A third of infertility is caused by the woman, a third by the man and a third of the time there is an issue with both partners. Often the male component is overlooked. At Wellness Architecture, we take all of parts into consideration. Sometimes with advanced age or issues like endometriosis, medical intervention is necessary. However, in most cases, issues may be improved or resolved more simply with the help of naturopathic medicine.

There are many things that may delay or prevent conception:

  • Abnormal sperm/low sperm count
  • Blood sugar disorders
  • Endometriosis
  • Incorrect timing of intercourse
  • Lack of ovulation
  • Low progesterone (luteal phase defect)
  • PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
  • Stress
    Sub-clinical or undiagnosed thyroid disorders
  • Weight (too low/high)

Outside of these issues, there is also unexplained infertility. This is often remedied by treating underlying health issues not commonly associated with fertility such as:

  • Fatigue
  • Poor diet/food sensitivities
  • Poor digestion
  • Toxicity
  • Undiagnosed infections

The best way to know if your thyroid is the source of your tiredness

Have you ever suspected that you have a thyroid issue? And then you asked your doctor only to be told that your thyroid was fine? I hear this over and over again from patients – they crazy thing, is that usually they are right. There is so much sub-clinical hypothyroidism out there and as a result there are many people, generally women, but sometimes men who are suffering needlessly.

Infertility sucks – How I went from tough to triumph!

I know the pain and stress of the two-week cycle. First comes the disappointment of getting your period. Then ovulation. Did you have good mucus? Did you have sex at the right times? Did you ovulate too early or not even ovulate?? After an ectopic pregnancy and emergency surgery to cauterize one of my fallopian tubes and prevent me from bleeding to death (sorry to be so graphic) at 29 years old, I became terrified that I would never get pregnant.

How to make the best dairy-free, nut-free pesto!

It goes without saying, organic is always best when you have the option. Choosing raw nuts or seeds and cold pressed unrefined oil is essential for avoiding inflammation.

I am a big proponent of quality ingredients. That is one reason I am very picky about the restaurants I choose – and another reason I usually prefer homemade. You always know exactly what you are getting. AND! It usually tastes so much better!! Here is some pesto I whipped up the other day and have already made it a second time, so thought I would share. Hope you like it!
