Fertile Foundations

Your New 12 Week Foundation-in-Motion

Pre-Conception Care Program

This new 12 week pre-conception care program takes couples and individuals from conception to pregnancy, to birth. The program involves a comprehensive approach to optimizing male and female fertility, preparing for conception to birth. A supporting role in this program allows us to address the whole person, aiming to enhance overall fertility health and increase the chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy.

What are strong foundations of conception?

Strong foundations of conception refer to the essential factors that support healthy fertility and increase the chances of conceiving. These foundations are often grouped into physical, emotional, and lifestyle aspects for both partners:

  1. Physical Health

  • Nourishment - A balanced diet rich in vitamins (e.g., folate, zinc) supports egg and sperm quality.

  • Hormonal Balance - Regular cycles and healthy sperm production rely on balanced hormones.

  • Healthy Weight - Maintaining a BMI within a healthy range benefits fertility.

    2. Emotional Wellness

  • Stress Management - Chronic stress can disrupt ovulation and sperm health.

  • Emotional Connection - A strong bond fosters mutual support during the journey.

    3. Lifestyle Choices

  • Avoid Toxins - Limit exposure to alcohol, tobacco, and environmental toxins.

  • Exercise Moderately - Over-or under-exercise can harm reproductive health.

  • Adequate Sleep - Rest supports hormone regulation.

What are the strong building blocks of conception?

The building blocks of conception primarily revolve around the biological processes involved in reproduction, these include:

1. Sperm and Egg

  • Conception typically occurs when a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell. Both sperm and egg contain genetic material necessary for creating a new life.

2. Ovulation

  • In females, ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary, which can then be fertilized by sperm.

3. Fertilization

  • This is the union of a sperm with an egg cell, resulting in the formation of a Zygote, which is the first stage of embryonic development.

4. Implantation

  • After fertilization, the Zygote undergoes cell division and travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it implants into the uterine lining and continues to develop.

5. Embryonic Development

  • Following implantation, the embryo undergoes further development, eventually forming organs, tissues, and structures necessary for a viable pregnancy.

    These are the fundamental biological processes involved in conception, but various factors such as reproductive health, lifestyle, and environmental factors can also influence the likelihood of successful conception.

Where the 12 week program fits in with improving conception.

The pre-conceptual care phase of the 12 week reproductive program aims to correct male and female fertility health.

For the female:

  • Correct hormonal imbalances

  • Improve physical conditions within the body - PCOS/Endometriosis/Fibroids/Ovarian Cysts

  • Correct any cycle irregularities - ovulation/amenorrhea

  • Progesterone anomalies

  • Manage stress/anxiety

  • Liver detox

For the male, we aim to:

  • Correct hormone imbalances

  • Manage low sperm count, morphology, motility

  • Improve DNA fragmentation

Medical conditions that interfere with the male reproductive system, such as:

  • Acute Prostatitis

  • Prostate Cancer

  • Testicular Cancer

  • Mumps

  • Varicocele/Hydrocele

  • Epididymitis

Use structured protocols to encourage the body to do what it should be doing, to reduce stress (as it can interfere with ovulation and sperm production) and alongside the structured protocols, manipulate progesterone.

Should you need extra assistance with assisted conception, such as IVF, ICSI, IUI - Reproflexology (specialist form of fertility reflexology) can be used along side these procedures to maximize the chances of successful outcomes.

Using science based facts to measure effects and outcomes of reproflexology on both male and females:

  • Semen analysis for males

  • Temperature charting (BBT) on females

This will allow to adjust any repro protocols, make improvements where necessary, and allow extra time with doing homework, and extra time improving lifestyle and allowing add-ons where necessary at no extra cost.

This new program incorporates two powerful treatments combined to enhance natural and assisted conception.

Reproflexology & Auricular Acupuncture

Reproflexology uses specific and prescriptive treatment protocols to address fertility health for both men and women, it aims to:

  • Regulate menstrual cycles to ensure that each stage is functioning at its best

  • Improve sperm production, and functionality

Assist any underlying conditions in both males and females, such as:

Males Conditions

  • Varicocele

  • Mumps

  • Hydrocele

  • Epididymitis

  • Vasectomy Reversal

  • Testicular Cancer

  • Prostate Cancer

  • Acute/Chronic Prostatitis

  • DNA Fragmentation

  • Hormone Imbalances

Female Conditions

  • PCOS

  • Ovarian Cysts

  • Fibroids

  • Endometriosis

  • Progesterone Issues

  • Irregular Cycles

  • PMS

  • Salpingitis

  • Vaginismus

  • Cervicitis

Auricular Acupuncture (ear acupuncture)

It involves the insertion of fine gauge needles into five specific points in the ear.

Shen Men

  • Calms the mind

  • Combats Insomnia

  • Combats Anxiety

  • Increases lower abdomen circulation

  • Harmonises the liver (detoxification/eliminating hormones)

Sympathetic Nervous System (autonomic) Spleen and Digestion

  • Relieving contractions of the intestines (IBS)

  • Night sweats

  • Involuntary sweating

  • Dilating of blood vessels

Kidney

  • Tones the kidney

  • Strengthens the lower back

  • Nourishes sperm

  • Assists urination

Liver

  • Regulates the flow of qi (Energy)

  • Storing of blood

  • Anemia

  • Strengthens digestion, liver and spleen (gut health)

  • Abdominal bloating

  • Depression

Lung

  • Controls breathing/respiration

  • Reduces and regulates body temperature

  • Improves odema of the upper body

  • Skin disease

  • Enteritis (gut bacteria) - can be used by an autoimmune condition such as Crohn disease

Its aim is to detoxify, nourish yen organs - heart/liver/spleen/lung/kidney - who’s function is to produce, transform, regulate and store fundamental substances such as blood/gi/body fluids, nourish yang organs - such as large and small intestine/gall bladder/ urinary/bladder/stomach responsible for digestion/transmitting nutrients to the body.

This harmonious function and relationship between Yin and Yang organs ensures good gut health, balanced hormones, and reduced stress and anxiety levels.
