Optimizing Fertility Through Preconception Care
Preconception care supports your body in creating the ideal environment for conception. By focusing on the health of both parents, we help boost fertility, balance hormones, and increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy, labor, and baby.
“A couple from Michigan struggled to conceive. We focused on her overall health first—detox, hormone balance, and stress. Within a few months, they shared their happy news. Supporting fertility starts with supporting the woman.”
- Dr. Doug Cutler, Founder at Cutler Integrative Medicine

How Can You Prepare for a Healthy Pregnancy?
Considering having a child can be one of the most important times of a person’s life. Preconception care will help achieve optimal fertility and a healthy pregnancy, labor, and baby. We focus on enhancing the personal health of both parents, whether or not they are having difficulty conceiving. However, if there is trouble with fertility, preconception care could make all the difference. Naturopathic medicine offers tools to provide the proper environment for conception.

When Should I Start Preconception Care?
The best time to start preconception care is 12 to 18 months before conception is planned. If you are hoping to conceive earlier, we can work with you on a program. You and your partner will want time to obtain the proper tests, implement steps to achieve optimal personal health, and have enough time to detoxify and chelate your bodies.
