Newborn Circumcision: |
| The United States is one of the only Western countries in the world that circumcises newborns as a "routine" medical procedure. Circumcision is often described as a safe and painless procedure, while risks and potential long term effects are downplayed in ways that are (in my opinion) not true to the spirit of informed consent.

What is Diminished Ovarian Reserve?
You may have had this experience: You or your partner go in to see your reproductive specialist for an ultrasound. During the visit, your provider does an ultrasound to count antral follicles and may also do a blood test to look for something called AMH. Between the antral follicle count and the AMH level, your doctor gets an idea (which they may or may not share with you!) about the state of your “ovarian reserve.”

Improving IVF Success Rates with Naturopathic Medicine
There are many different factors that go into achieving a healthy pregnancy. Hormone balance, immune health, and genetics all play a role. But one of the biggest factors at play for many people is the strength and health of the eggs, often referred to as “egg quality.”
| In IVF this is especially important - technologies such as ICSI can allow doctors to select the healthiest looking sperm out of millions, but in most IVF cycles there are only 3-20 eggs retrieved at a time, so the health of each individual egg can have a huge impact on the number of embryos and your chances of achieving that “BFP.” |  |
Because of our focus on reproductive health, nutrition, and detoxification, naturopathic doctors are uniquely poised to help couples and individuals have the best outcomes possible in IVF.
