A Naturopathic Approach to Improving Fertility and Conception
Randa Majrouh, Naturopath & Acupuncturist
If you’re planning to start a family, or are already trying to conceive, you’ve likely thought about how your overall health may influence your ability to fall pregnant and sustain a healthy pregnancy.
There are many well-known, practical and natural ways that both women and men can support fertility, including:
managing stress levels
ensuring adequate nutrition
improving physical fitness and exercise habits
supplementing where appropriate
understanding the menstrual cycle and ovulation timing (for women)
For many couples, however, it’s just not that simple and fertility challenges persist despite doing “all the right things”.
Fertility Challenges are Increasing in Australia
Fertility issues are becoming increasingly common. Current estimates suggest that around 1 in 6 couples experience difficulty conceiving naturally.
Importantly, fertility is not solely a women’s issue. Australian data indicates that male-factor fertility contributes to approximately half of all infertility cases, either as the sole cause or in combination with female factors.
Contributing influences may include:
chronic stress
nutrient-poor diets and modern lifestyle demands
endocrine-disrupting environmental chemicals & toxins
long-term contraceptive use
delayed family planning due to social and economic changes
For women over the age of 35, the likelihood of fertility challenges also increases, making personalised preconception support especially important.
When to See a Naturopath for Fertility Support
You may benefit from naturopathic support, and in some cases acupuncture also, if:
you’ve been trying to conceive without success for 3 months or more
you want to optimise your health and fertility naturally before trying to conceive for the best chances of pregnancy and to give your baby the healthiest start to life
you are preparing for, or currently undergoing IVF or assisted reproductive treatments
you feel uncertain about nutritional requirements before or during pregnancy
you want personalised supplement guidance for preconception, pregnancy or breastfeeding
you want to support your baby’s nutritional foundations during early development
Early support can help identify and address underlying imbalances, often improving outcomes and reducing unnecessary stress - which we know can have a negative effect on fertility and conception!
Holistic Fertility Approaches at PNMC
Fertility is influenced by many interconnected factors, which is why a holistic, individualised approach is essential.
When working with Randa Majrouh, fertility specialist naturopath and acupuncturist at PNMC, consultations focus on:
detailed assessment of diet, lifestyle and stress load
hormonal and reproductive health history
relevant pathology and functional testing (arranging testing and/or reviewing of results)
both partners’ health, where applicable
From this foundation, Randa develops a tailored plan which may include:
targeted dietary strategies
evidence-based nutritional supplementation
herbal medicine
lifestyle and stress-management support
fertility-focused acupuncture for those who may benefit
This integrative approach to improving fertility can be implemented on its own or alongside IVF and assisted reproductive techniques, helping to support the body and nervous system throughout the conception journey - no matter which pathway you choose.
Even if you’ve already received a diagnosis of PCOS, endometriosis or any other conditions affecting fertility, or repeated pregnancy loss has left you not only discouraged but grieving, the care offered by Randa - and our team of complementary therapists at our Perth clinic - can still make a meaningful difference to your experience.
