Functional Fertility Program
A Functional Medicine Approach to Supporting Conception
Dealing with infertility can be overwhelming, especially when faced with challenges like low ovarian reserve, low sperm count, or fragmented sperm DNA.
At Your Functional Edge, our Functional Fertility Program takes a personalized, root-cause approach to fertility, helping you address these and other common issues that may be standing in the way of conception. Using functional medicine, we go beyond the conventional approach to identify the underlying causes of infertility, optimize your health, and improve your chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy.
Address Nutritional Deficiencies
A well-nourished body is essential for fertility. Deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can impair egg quality, sperm health, and overall reproductive function. Through advanced testing and personalized nutrition plans, we address nutritional gaps to ensure that both partners have the optimal nutritional foundation necessary for conception and a healthy pregnancy.
Improve Low Ovarian Reserve
Low ovarian reserve is a common concern for women, especially as they age, but it’s not an insurmountable obstacle. Our program utilizes evidence-based strategies to support ovarian health and improve egg quality. Through targeted nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle modifications, we work to enhance ovarian function, helping to support your fertility even when your ovarian reserve is lower than expected.
Optimize Sperm Health: Low Count & Fragmented DNA
Low sperm count and fragmented sperm DNA are major contributors to male infertility. These issues can impact fertilization and embryo quality, making conception more challenging. We take a comprehensive approach to improve sperm health through dietary support, targeted supplements, and lifestyle modifications. Antioxidants, micronutrients, and stress reduction techniques can all help improve sperm count, motility, and reduce DNA fragmentation, increasing the chances of successful conception.
Restore Hormonal Balance
Hormonal imbalances can disrupt both ovulation in women and sperm production in men. Whether it’s estrogen dominance, thyroid dysfunction, or adrenal fatigue, we use functional medicine to assess and restore hormonal balance, creating an optimal environment for conception. For women, this means regulating menstrual cycles, improving ovulation, and supporting overall reproductive health. For men, we address hormonal imbalances that may affect testosterone levels, sperm production, and overall fertility.
Reduce Inflammation and Optimize Gut Health
Chronic inflammation, gut imbalances, and immune dysfunction can all undermine fertility. Our program includes advanced testing to identify and address food sensitivities, gut dysbiosis, and other triggers of inflammation that can disrupt fertility. By reducing systemic inflammation and optimizing gut health, we improve immune function, hormone metabolism, and overall reproductive health.
Comprehensive Approach to Fertility
Our Infertility Program is grounded in a functional medicine framework, offering a personalized, holistic approach to fertility. Key components of the program include:
- Comprehensive Lab Testing: To evaluate ovarian reserve, sperm health (including DNA fragmentation), hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation markers.
- Customized Nutrition Plans: Specifically designed to improve egg quality, sperm health, and overall fertility.
- Lifestyle and Stress Management Strategies: Focused on optimizing reproductive health through mindfulness, exercise, and sleep, all aimed at reducing stress and supporting hormone balance.
- Ongoing Support: Continuous one-on-one coaching and guidance to keep you on track and provide emotional support throughout your fertility journey.
Infertility can be complex, but with the right support, even issues like low ovarian reserve, low sperm count, or fragmented DNA can be addressed and improved. Our program offers you a comprehensive, functional medicine approach to restore balance, optimize your fertility, and support you in achieving your dream of becoming a parent.
