Fertility challenges can be an emotional journey for many couples. Approximately 1 in 6 couples experience difficulty conceiving, and the path to parenthood often requires patience, commitment, and a focus on holistic health. At Pinnacle Chiropractic, we believe that creating optimal health for both partners is key to improving fertility and achieving a healthy pregnancy. This guide provides natural, evidence-based strategies to support your fertility journey.

Understanding Fertility

The process of conception involves both partners, requiring optimal egg and sperm health. Research shows that even minor factors can impact fertility, especially when combined. For example, a history of thyroid issues, stress, poor diet, or lifestyle choices can all contribute to reduced fertility. Addressing these factors holistically enhances the chances of conception and promotes overall well-being.

Key Strategies to Improve Fertility

1. Chiropractic Care

A well-functioning nervous system is essential for overall health and fertility. Chiropractic care helps restore nervous system balance, reducing stress and improving communication between the brain and body. Weekly adjustments are recommended for both partners to ensure the body can “rest, digest, heal, and grow a baby.”

2. Nourish Your Body with Real Food

What you eat plays a significant role in fertility. A nutrient-rich diet supports egg and sperm health while preparing the body for a healthy pregnancy.

  • Recommended Diets: Paleo or Mediterranean diets.
  • Key Practices:
    • Eat at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
    • Choose organic produce, grass-fed meats, and pasture-raised eggs to minimize exposure to toxins.

3. Personalized Supplementation

Supplements tailored to individual needs can fill nutritional gaps and improve reproductive health.

  • For Women: Prenatal vitamins (Biotics, Designs for Health, or Ritual), CoQ10, fish oil, vitamin D, vitamin E, choline, selenium, and iodine.
  • For Men: Black cumin seed oil, CoQ10, fish oil, vitamin D, vitamin E, selenium, and libidostim-M.

4. Stay Active

Regular exercise enhances insulin balance, hormone regulation, and mood while improving sleep quality. Aim for:

  • Minimum: 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week.
  • Optimal: 60 minutes daily.

5. Hydration is Key

Dehydration negatively affects both sperm and egg health. Ensure proper hydration by:

  • Drinking plenty of filtered water daily.
  • Avoiding sugary or caffeinated beverages.

6. Manage Stress

Chronic stress can reduce fertility and overall health. Address stress in its various forms:

  • Emotional: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or yoga.
  • Chemical: Eliminate toxins by choosing safe, non-toxic cleaning products (e.g., Truly Free, Branch Basics) and personal care items (e.g., Crunchi, Beautycounter).
  • Physical: Incorporate chiropractic care and other relaxation techniques to relieve tension.

7. Prioritize Quality Sleep

Sleep affects your body’s ability to heal and function optimally. Aim for:

  • 7–9 hours of restful sleep nightly.
  • Eliminating blue light exposure an hour before bedtime to improve sleep quality.

8. Avoid Fertility Disruptors

Certain habits and exposures can significantly impact fertility:

  • For Men:
    • Avoid saunas, hot tubs, heated seats, and keeping cell phones in pockets to protect sperm health.
  • For Both Partners:
    • Eliminate alcohol: Even minimal consumption can increase genetic risks and embryo mutations.
    • Avoid tobacco and cannabis: These disrupt reproductive health and cause DNA damage.

A Commitment to Health: A Four-Month Protocol

The fertility journey requires time and dedication. To create the healthiest eggs and sperm possible, follow this protocol for a minimum of four months before trying to conceive. This timeframe allows for a complete turnover of healthy eggs and sperm, ensuring both partners are at their peak health.

Important Notes:

  • Avoid trying to conceive during the initial four months to reduce stress and focus on health improvements.
  • Avoid early pregnancy tests, which can create unnecessary anxiety. Wait until a missed period to test.

Hear what our patients have to say about their experience at Pinnacle.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about these people and this practice...highly recommend 👌
We've had the best experience with Pinnacle Chiropractic for my 4 month old son. Dr Jordan and Dr Kirsten are the BEST! Everyone in the office is so friendly and welcoming and it's just such a great atmosphere overall! The progress we've seen in my son's overall happiness and comfortability (even after just a few adjustments) is unbelievable! I cannot say enough wonderful things about these people and this practice... highly recommend 👌
Finally, we decided to try a chiropractor. After a couple treatments she is a completely different baby!
Highly recommend!! Our 8 week old was dealing with reflux and digestive issues and she had episodes of screaming and crying every evening and we would battle for hours to try and get her down for the night. Everyone including her pediatrician just said she will grow out of it, but finally we decided to try a chiropractor. After a couple treatments she is a completely different baby! She is so happy and no more screaming and crying episodes 🙌🏻 Also the staff is absolutely incredible!! They are amazing at explaining everything to you and happy to answer any questions you might have.
