Holistic Treatment for Infertility at Internal Healing and Wellness MD

Are you struggling to conceive? You're not alone. Infertility affects about 10% of women in the US and can be caused by various factors, such as hormonal imbalances, age, lifestyle choices, and underlying health conditions. At Internal Healing and Wellness MD, we understand the emotional toll infertility can take on individuals and couples. That's why we offer a holistic approach to treating infertility that addresses the root causes of the problem.

Causes of Infertility

Infertility can be caused by various factors, including:

Hormonal Imbalances: A Common Cause of Infertility

Hormonal imbalances can affect ovulation and sperm production, making it more difficult to conceive. In women, hormonal imbalances can cause irregular periods or no periods at all. In men, hormonal imbalances can cause a decrease in sperm count or quality. Functional medicine practitioners can test for hormonal imbalances and recommend treatments such as supplements, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications to help restore balance.

Age: How It Affects Fertility

As women age, their fertility declines due to a decrease in the number and quality of eggs. The decline in fertility begins in a woman's late 20s and accelerates after age 35. Men also experience a decline in fertility as they age, although the decline is more gradual. Functional medicine practitioners can help patients optimize their fertility by addressing age-related factors such as nutrition, exercise, and stress management.

Lifestyle Factors: How They Affect Fertility

Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a poor diet can all affect fertility. Smoking can decrease fertility in both men and women, while excessive alcohol consumption can decrease sperm count and quality in men. A poor diet can lead to nutritional deficiencies that can affect fertility. Functional medicine practitioners can help patients make lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, and improving their diet to help improve fertility.

Underlying Health Conditions: A Contributing Factor to Infertility

Underlying health conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid disorders can all affect fertility. Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of it, while PCOS is a hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods and infertility. Thyroid disorders can affect ovulation and sperm production. Functional medicine practitioners can test for underlying health conditions and recommend treatments such as dietary changes, supplements, and alternative therapies to help improve fertility.

A Holistic Approach to Healing

At Internal Healing and Wellness MD, we take a holistic approach to healing that addresses the underlying causes of infertility. Our practitioners will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include:

Functional Medicine for Infertility: A Holistic Approach

Functional medicine takes a holistic approach to treating infertility by addressing the underlying causes of the problem. This includes looking at the patient's diet, lifestyle, and overall health. Functional medicine practitioners like Dr. Khan at Internal Healing and Wellness can test for nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and underlying health conditions that may be affecting fertility. They can then recommend treatments such as supplements, dietary changes, alternative therapies, and stress management techniques to help improve fertility.

Functional medicine practitioners can also recommend a diet that is high in nutrients and low in processed foods to help improve fertility. A healthy diet can help restore hormonal balance, reduce inflammation, and improve egg and sperm quality.

Acupuncture is a natural therapy that can help improve fertility by reducing stress, improving circulation, and restoring hormonal balance. Functional medicine practitioners may recommend acupuncture as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for infertility.

Chiropractic care can help improve fertility by reducing stress, improving nerve function, and restoring spinal alignment. Functional medicine practitioners may recommend chiropractic care as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for infertility.

Mind-body techniques such as meditation, yoga, and deep breathing can help reduce stress and improve fertility by restoring hormonal balance. Functional medicine practitioners may recommend mind-body techniques as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for infertility.
