Dr. Irena Bergmann, ND

Dr. Irena Bergmann, ND I help women and couples by using Naturopathic fertility support and acupuncture to get pregnant.

With over 15 years of experience working with women in this field, I understand the struggles that couples go through when they are unable to conceive.

As we end this year I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of my patients.

The involvement in your journey is something I do not take lightly.

I am honoured that you allow me in.

You share your hopes, your fears, your worries, tears, and the heaviness that you carry.

I hope that I am a voice of reason, a shoulder you can cry on, a positive cheerleader that helps guide you.

For those I have celebrated with, I know this year brought you what you hoped it would.

As we head into a new year, I look forward to helping create many more celebrations and making your dreams come true.

May 2026 give you everything you wish for. ❤️

Protein is one of the most important nutrients for fertility — it supports healthy ovulation, hormone production, and egg/s***m quality.

And the good news? Getting enough protein doesn’t have to feel complicated or “perfect.” It’s really about adding small, steady building blocks throughout your day so your hormones have what they need to do their job.

Here are some of my favorite fertility-friendly protein sources — plus how to add them into your day!

Fertility tip: Aim for 20–30g of protein per meal!

If growing your family is on your mind for 2026, this year is a great time to start gently checking in with your health.
Not in a pressured or urgent way — just giving your body a little extra support before you begin trying.

Looking at your cycle, your sleep, your stress, and your nutrient levels now can make the transition into preconception feel a lot less overwhelming later. You have time to get curious, make small shifts, and understand what your body might need.

There’s no perfect timeline and no “must-do” list — just simple ways to feel more prepared when you decide you’re ready.

And if you’d like guidance along the way, naturopathic care can help you sort through what’s relevant for your picture.

Starting a fertility journey comes with so many unknowns, and I think most of us wish we had a little more guidance, clarity, and reassurance at the beginning.

There’s the emotional side, the physical side, the waiting, the learning, and the constant recalibrating. And while everyone’s path looks different, you don’t have to figure it all out alone or feel like you’re supposed to “just know” how this works.

What matters most is giving yourself grace, getting curious about your body, and surrounding yourself with the right support — whether that’s your partner, friends, a therapist, your ND, or your wider care team.

You’re allowed to take this one step at a time.
You’re allowed to ask for help.
And you’re allowed to honour whatever this season looks like for you.

Wherever you are right now, you’re doing your best — and that’s enough.

There’s a lot of noise online about how to eat for PCOS — cut this, avoid that, restrict everything.
But in reality? Nourishment matters more than restriction.

PCOS is deeply connected to blood sugar, inflammation, and hormone communication — and the way you eat can either help regulate those systems or make them work harder.

When you focus on steady energy (not skipping meals), colorful plants, and enough protein and healthy fats, you’re giving your body the tools it needs to restore balance.

There’s no one-size-fits-all PCOS diet — just consistent, thoughtful choices that support your unique hormone pattern.

Because food isn’t punishment. It’s your foundation for healing.

Endometriosis can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re told there’s “nothing you can do” beyond pain management or medication.

While food isn’t a cure, it is one of the most powerful ways to support your body day to day.
From calming inflammation to improving hormone metabolism and restoring energy, nutrition becomes one of your best tools for managing symptoms naturally.

And because endo looks different for everyone, the right plan starts with understanding your body — your triggers, your cycle, and your unique needs.

When we approach nutrition with curiosity (not restriction), it becomes an act of support, not control.

The holidays have a way of bringing everything to the surface — joy, nostalgia, hope… and sometimes heartache.

If you’re navigating fertility challenges right now, it’s completely normal to feel out of sync with the season.
You can love your family, appreciate the celebrations, and still find it hard.

Protecting your peace isn’t avoidance — it’s self-preservation.
It’s okay to take space, say no, or redefine what this season looks like for you.

You’re allowed to hold both: the heaviness of where you are, and the quiet hope for what’s still to come.

Supplements can play such a supportive role when you’re preparing for pregnancy — but they’re just one piece of the bigger fertility picture.

Each of these nutrients has a job to do:
💊 A prenatal lays the foundation for nutrient stores before conception.
💊 CoQ10 supports egg and s***m quality by protecting cells from oxidative stress.
💊 Vitamin D helps regulate hormones and impacts everything from ovulation to implantation.
💊 Omega-3s calm inflammation and support healthy hormone communication.
💊 Iron + B12 are key for healthy ovulation and energy.
💊 Zinc supports s***m health and overall reproductive function.

The goal isn’t to take everything — it’s to find what your body truly needs.
Testing your nutrient levels and building a plan with your ND ensures you’re supplementing intentionally (not guessing).

Because your fertility foundation deserves a personalized approach.

When it comes to fertility, the focus often lands on women, but male fertility plays just as big a role in the story.

S***m health is influenced by everyday factors like nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress — all things that are within our control (and respond well to change).

S***m fully regenerates roughly every 3 months. That means there’s time — and real opportunity — to make meaningful improvements with the right support.

Whether you’re actively trying or just starting to think about it, optimizing both partners’ health can make a difference in your fertility journey.

Sometimes the answers are hiding in the smallest details of your cycle.

If your luteal phase (the time between ovulation and your next period) is a little shorter than it should be, it can quietly influence how your body prepares for implantation — and make conception trickier than expected.

The good news? It’s something we can work on.

Understanding why your luteal phase is short, whether from stress, thyroid function, or progesterone levels — helps us support your body’s natural rhythm rather than working against it.

When we get curious about your cycle instead of frustrated by it, it becomes one of your most valuable health indicators.

✨ Your cycle is communicating, we just have to listen.

Fertility isn’t just about your reproductive organs — it’s about your whole body’s health. Optimizing sleep, nutrition, hormones, and stress balance sets the stage for conception.

Naturopathic support looks at the root causes to help your body find its natural rhythm.

Think about working with a fertility focused Naturopathic doctor who can help you lay down the foundations to support your fertility.
