Nutritional therapy, naturopathy and functional medicine for fertility and healthy pregnancy in London and Totnes, Devon (South Hams).
Couples may have been trying to conceive for years and with the pressure of the ‘biological clock’ may feel like their chance of having children is a fading dream. Many factors can effect your chance of having children and prevent a successful pregnancy. It is important to investigate all the known factors for both the man and the woman.
Tom begins with supporting you and your partner in finding a healthy diet and lifestyle whilst ordering functional tests for more targeted support. Genetic profiles for both men and women are helpful in determining how best to support your health and that of your children beginning pre-conception and throughout pregnancy. In particular a biochemical process known as methylation is very important in the creation of new life (1, 2, 3, 4) and is supported by an understanding of your genetics.
Functional medicine looks for the root causes of infertility for which many different tests may be appropriate. These include but are not limited to the following:
- Micronutrient testing
- Methylation panel
- Sex and stress hormone panels such as the DUTCH test or the HuMap
- Thyroid hormone testing
- FSH, LH, prolactin and AMH
- Organic Acids Test
- Testing for toxins, including heavy metals and mycotoxins from mould exposure
- Semen analysis
- Oxidative stress assessment
- Iron markers
- Vitamin D
- Stool testing
