What are the Main Causes of Infertility? Causes of Infertility Around 10-15% of women experience infertility problems.  It’s a statistic that appears to be increasing.  But what’s causing it? Anyone reading this is probably well aware of the main causes of infertility according to Western medicine.  These include age, tube disorders, endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids and pelvic inflammatory disease. But what are the main causes from a natural medicine perspective? Some are similar to conventional medicine but with identified causes.  And others are very specific to natural medicine, which looks at your fertility more holistically. Cold in Your Uterus This is an extremely common problem.  Most women are too cold.  This can be caused by a history of too much cold food and drink, walking barefoot on cold floors, wearing clothes with the...

Your Fertility Cup In natural medicine much of your fertility and reproductive function comes down to the strength of your Kidneys. Your Kidneys are the source of your strength in being to generate new life through conception and carrying to term. Strong Kidney function means stronger fertility. We liken your Kidney strength to a cup.  If your cup is full then it can overflow into new life easily.  If it is not, then it will be more difficult to conceive. We call it your Fertility Cup*. How full your cup is depends on the following: What you were born with Some people are born with full cups and others are not.  Generally, the younger you were at menarche the more full your cup was. How hard you’ve worked Working hard (mentally or physically) for long...

Eating to Help Refill Your Fertility Cup Your Fertility Cup* reflects the strength of your reproductive function and ability to conceive. If your Fertility Cup is empty you need to refill it to conceive and carry a healthy baby to term. One of the ways to refill your Fertility Cup is through what you eat. Rather than diving into copious details about the specific foods to eat and avoid, which will probably only cause you further stress (another factor that empties your cup) I’ll give you overall general guidelines here. Eat More of These to Refill Your Fertility Cup* Fruit and Vege – so good for your body in so many ways. Fruit in particular is great: ‘Eat fruit to produce fruit’. Fruit and vege cleanses your system and provides great...

Warm Up to Fill Your Fertility Cup If you are too cold you may have trouble conceiving.  Being too cold can affect digestive enzyme and hormone production to affect fertility.  Also, a cold uterus does not encourage the formation of new life. How do you know if you are too cold? If you feel cold (ie. nobody other than you is wearing a jumper, you hate cold weather, or you simply feel cold all the time) then you are probably too cold. If your waking oral temperature is less than 36.4 degrees then you are too cold.  To do this you need to buy an oral thermometer (one you put under your tongue) and take your temperature when you wake – but before you get out of bed.  If...

Your Temperature and Your Fertility

Fertility

Your Temperature and Your Fertility There are two main temperature issues with fertility: Being too cold generally.The body not achieving the required temperatures during your cycle to conceive. Being Too Cold Generally In natural medicine you and your uterus must be sufficiently warm to conceive and to nurture new life to birth.  Almost all things in nature grow better when it’s warm. One of the most common problems we see in women who struggle with infertility is that they are just too cold. There are many reasons why women are too cold including eating too much cold food/drink, not wearing appropriately warm clothing (particularly around the mid-drift), living or working in cold conditions or simply being born that way and their body temperatures have never normalised. If you are too cold your...

Stress and Fertility

Stress and Fertility We’re often asked if stress affects fertility. We think so. Blood Flow is Key to Good Health In natural medicine good blood flow is one of the keys to good health. Your blood contains the oxygen, nutrients and hormones that your body and its organs and tissues need to function properly. When your blood flow is strong everything in your body ‘gets fed and watered’ properly so everything has the ‘fuel’ to work as it should. But when your internal blood flow becomes restricted, this is when trouble starts. Just image if I was able to turn off an imaginary tap that fed blood to your arm. Your arm would soon be starved of the oxygen, nutrients and hormones it needed and it would start to malfunction – loss...

If you have trouble losing weight no matter what you seem to try, here's why. Digestive Dysfunction If your digestion isn’t working well you will find it difficult to lose weight.  And you’ll know if it’s not working well if you experience any of bloating, reflux, nausea, constipation, lose bowels or IBS. This is because your body will be producing a lot of inflammation. When your digestion is working well, not only will you more readily lose weight, you’ll usually feel lighter and have more energy. Fat-Controlling Hormone Imbalance You have natural fat-making hormones like cortisol and insulin and natural fat-burning hormones like adrenaline and glucagon. For many people their fat-making hormones are too active and their fat-burning hormones are basically asleep. Wrong Diet There’s no doubt that you need to eat correctly to...

herbs vs drugs

Herbs Vs Drugs

I am often asked what is the difference between taking herbs versus medications. Western Medicine Many of the drugs we take are actually based on plants.  Plants have many different compounds and what pharmaceutical companies do is isolate the active compound (the chemical of the plant that has a particular action in the body) and then produce that compound synthetically. Because the compound is isolated from the rest of the plant (and possibly because it is manufactured), this is the reason why most drugs have side effects. Western medicine focuses on symptom relief, not fixing the root of the problem.  Whilst in most cases you will get some form of relief from symptoms, it also means that as soon as you come off the medication all of the...

Are You Worried About Staying on Medications?

LOTS of people are on medications. Medications generally supress symptoms.  But they do little to address the root cause of your health problem. Come off the medication and the symptom is likely to come back. Some medications provide the relief required (e.g. for pain, reflux or sinus problems) to enable you to get on with your day productively. They really can be a ‘life saver’ when you get to the point you can no longer function properly. But Should You Stay on Medications for Ever? A lot is known about the short-term side effects of medications.  Large studies are carried out to determine the short-term side effects to get the drug released for sale. Although, this said, how a person will react to a medication comes down to the individual involved. But...
