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

Concerned about Heart Disease or Diabetes?
I have always had a fascination with heart disease and the ability for naturopathic medicine to prevent and treat it effectively. Many of my patients come to me already on statins or blood pressure medication. I often get questions about whether I can see them if they are already taking drugs.
You’ve got to be joking…food can do what??
People who don’t know me always look at me sideways when I suggest that what they’re eating might be the source of their problems. I would actually say that people who know me also look at me a little strange when I make this suggestion. And I’m not talking about just digestive problems. It really could be anything.
Don’t tune out…Tune-Up!!
It’s a new school year – and for many of us that means a change in schedule. It’s a time to reset ourselves, get our fitness, our diet and healthy lifestyles back on track. If you haven’t been in for a while – it’s a great time to come in for a tune-up! Committing to health maintenance is something that pays in dividends – it’s just hard to track when we will never know what would have happened!
Weight Loss and Naturopathic Medicine
In naturopathic medicine, for me, weight loss is almost an afterthought. My focus is always to find the problem areas, and fix them. Overweight and obesity is often a combination of metabolic problems (which can stem from hypothyroidism, blood sugar disorders, adrenal fatigue) the wrong foods, nutrient deficiencies, lack of exercise, underlying infections, toxic overload, inadequate sleep, anemia and the standard overeating, emotional connection to food and lack of exercise. It’s rarely one thing.
The Benefit of Maintenance
I have wanted to do a blog for a long time. So I am excited to be writing my first post! Since it is a new year, and many people do resolutions in January (yes, I am a little late!) – I thought I’d resolve not to do resolutions anymore! The reason? I listened to a radio show last year on the topic of balance – I think about the show often, because I realized that all my procrastinating over the years really sums up to one thing. Drama. It creates…
