Part 3 of our fertility advice!

To prepare your body for carrying a baby, a high-quality prenatal vitamin should be started at least three months prior to attempting conception. This preconception window is critical, as it allows time to replenish key micronutrients that support ovulation, implantation, and early fetal development.

Women who have previously used hormonal contraceptives are at increased risk for depletion of essential nutrients such as folate, vitamin B12, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B6—nutrients that are vital for a healthy pregnancy. Research suggests that restoring nutrient stores before conception is associated with improved pregnancy outcomes and supports optimal placental and fetal development during the earliest stages of gestation, often before a woman knows she is pregnant.

When selecting a prenatal vitamin, look for formulations that include:

* Methylated folate (5-MTHF) rather than synthetic folic acid, to support proper folate metabolism

* Chelated minerals, which are more bioavailable and easier to absorb

* Methylcobalamin (active vitamin B12) for neurologic and cellular support

* DHA, an essential omega-3 fatty acid that plays a critical role in fetal brain and nervous system development.

This prenatal vitamin made by Orthomolecular meets all of these requirements and it’s the one I recommend to my patients.

Listen…..in the future….if you all could ask me before you decide to move away, I would greatly appreciate it. It’s not fair that I have to say goodbye to patients who are so dear to me…patients whose babies I have learned to love!

But here we are. I am thrilled for this little family as they move to a beautiful new home, and I am honored to have watched this woman become a mother and to know and love her kids. I wish them all the best and today I got to send them off with love! Thank you for choosing me to be your provider. Thank you for trusting me with your care and sharing your family with me through the years, my friend.

Increasing fertility Part 2:

Acupuncture has also been shown to support reproductive health by improving blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, and promoting hormonal balance. These effects may support more regular ovulation and a healthier endometrial environment for implantation.

Research also suggests that acupuncture may help reduce stress and modulate cortisol levels, which is particularly relevant for fertility, as chronic stress has been shown to negatively impact ovulatory function and reproductive hormone signaling. By supporting nervous system regulation and parasympathetic activity, acupuncture may help create a more favorable physiologic environment for conception.

For women undergoing fertility treatments, acupuncture has additionally been associated with improved outcomes when used as an adjunct to assisted reproductive technologies, likely due to its effects on uterine blood flow, inflammation, and stress reduction.

While we currently don’t offer acupuncture in our office, I’m happy to make a referral if this is a route my patients wish to explore.

Avoid Endocrine Disruptors when attempting to conceive and throughout pregnancy!

When preparing for pregnancy, minimizing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is an important yet frequently underestimated factor in fertility and hormonal health. Endocrine disruptors are substances that can interfere with normal hormone signaling, potentially affecting ovulation, implantation, and early fetal development.

Many conventional perfumes, body sprays, scented lotions, and personal care products contain chemicals known to act as endocrine disruptors, including:

* Phthalates (commonly used to stabilize fragrance)
* Parabens (preservatives that can mimic estrogen)
* Synthetic musks (which may accumulate in body tissue and disrupt hormone signaling)
* Triclosan (found in some antibacterial products)

Phthalates in particular have been associated with altered reproductive hormone levels, reduced ovarian function, and decreased fertility in women. These compounds can also cross the placenta, making early exposure especially concerning during the periconception period.

Choose fragrance-free products to reduce toxic load during the pre-conception period and throughout pregnancy.

Flu season always gets us thinking about immunity… and one thing that often gets overlooked is gut health. Let’s chat about it!

Your GI tract isn’t just about digestion—it’s home to hundreds of strains of bacteria that constantly compete for balance. When things are in harmony, we feel good. But stress, poor sleep, antibiotics, birth control, travel, alcohol, or a less-than-perfect diet can tip that balance the wrong way.

Here’s the part most people don’t realize: approximately 70% of your immune system is contained in your gut. When the gut is supported, the immune system is better equipped to do its job—especially during cold and flu season.

That’s why I’m big on quality probiotics! These good bacteria are live organisms, which means they actually have to survive manufacturing, storage, and your stomach acid to be effective. Orthobiotic is the one we carry in office (pictured here), and it is designed to stay stable on the shelf and then activate where it matters most—in the intestinal tract.

Orthobiotic also includes Saccharomyces boulardii, a well-researched strain that helps restore balance and support the good bacteria we want thriving—something I often think about for my patients (and myself) during times of stress or after antibiotics.

Bottom line: supporting your gut isn’t just about digestion—it’s a foundational piece of immune health. And this time of year, that matters more than you can imagine.
