INFERTILITY ISSUES
Infertility can be an issue for both men and women. A mutli-system evaluation is necessary to assess imbalances in the body that can make conception/fertilization difficult. For example, in addition to the sex hormones, an evaluation of the thyroid, vitamin/mineral levels(especially Vitamin D), gut health, and adrenal function will shed light into imbalances that may be preventing conception or the progression of a pregnancy to full term.
Functional Medicine Practitioners perform comprehensive testing to determine any causative factors that may be contributing to infertility and then make a personalized plan that will include diet, lifestyle, and nutraceutical supplementation to bring the body back to a more balanced state.
