Naturopathic Medicine For Fertility
Sometimes, conceiving a child isn't as straightforward as it should be.
Let’s talk about fertility: If getting pregnant has proven to be difficult, or you, like many women, have suffered through miscarriages, naturopathic medicine is here to support you.
Whether you’re still trying to conceive naturally, or you’re in the process of going through medically-assisted fertility treatment, Oona Newmarket is here to help you achieve your goal of conceiving and carrying a baby.
Naturopathic medicine can help treat some of the underlying conditions that affect fertility including:
- Endometriosis
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS),
- Hormonal imbalance
- Hypothyroidism and thyroid disease
- Poor egg quality
- Low ovarian reserve
- Luteal phase defect
- Recurrent miscarriage
- Unexplained infertility
Commonly Asked Questions About Fertility Naturopathy
Natural fertility treatment involves various therapies to complement the conventional fertility approach. Many factors get overlooked when couples are facing difficulty on their road to conception, so we make sure to look at the whole picture to understand better how to support your unique situation.
The most common factors we consider to improve fertility include:
- Weight management for fertility
- Dietary habits to improve fertility
- Egg & sperm quality
- Detoxification
- Hormone balance, cycle charting & ensuring ovulation
- Reducing inflammation
- Stress management
- Improving sleep
Whether you’re trying naturally or working with a fertility clinic, spending up to 3 months in preparation using naturopathic approaches has repeatedly proven to result in higher pregnancy rates and improved embryo quality.
Yes. Naturopathic medicine can be used to effectively address many conditions that result in infertility such as:
- Endometriosis
- Uterine fibroids & polyps
- Ovarian cysts
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Hypothyroidism
- Obesity
- PCOS
- Hormone imbalance and irregular menstrual cycles
- Stress
- Toxicity
- Low sperm quantity and quality
- Low egg quality
Absolutely. While assisted reproductive technology ensures the creation and implantation of embryos, naturopathic therapies focus on improving the quality of those embryos which is equally important. We do this by working with couples a few months before egg retrieval to improve egg and sperm quality. Incorporating acupuncture to support assisted cycles improves outcomes as well.
Acupuncture is effective during the entire reproductive cycle. We recommend including acupuncture during the preconception period, and throughout the egg retrieval, transfer, implantation and two week wait period.
The benefits of acupuncture for fertility include:
- improved blood flow to the ovaries and improved endometrial lining
- improved response to medicated cycles
- reduced stress hormone production
- promotion of optimal environment for implantation
- Treatment for irregular cycles, PCOS and endometriosis

Postpartum Naturopathic Care
The initial three months following childbirth, often referred to as the 'fourth trimester,' is a period of recovery and rest.
This is also a time for bonding with your new baby, as you all adjust to new routines. Breastfeeding can bring its own challenges, emotions can feel all over the place, and finding your new normal (whatever that may be!) can feel impossible. Whether this is your first, second, third, or fourth baby, being well supported in those early postpartum weeks can make all the difference in how well you recover.
Naturopathic care can play a pivotal role during this time in fostering a well-rounded recovery.
- Pain management
- Vaginal/perineal healing
- C-section healing
- Breastfeeding issues, including help with determining food sensitivities
- Postpartum depression/anxiety and other mood issues
We feel that it’s important to note – at Oona Newmarket, once you’ve had a baby, we consider you postpartum forever. Whether your baby is 6 weeks old, or 6 years old it’s never too soon or too late to start feeling better.

Naturopathic Treatment For Perimenopause & Menopause
Hot Flashes & Hormonal Shifts: Naturopathic Care in Newmarket for Your Next Chapter
The perimenopause and menopause transition brings a unique set of challenges—and naturopathic care can offer powerful, natural support. Whether you’re navigating early signs or feeling the full effect of hormonal changes, our Newmarket-based Naturopathic Doctors are here to help you feel like yourself again.
Perimenopause often begins years before menopause, with symptoms that can range from brain fog and mood swings to hot flashes, disrupted sleep, and low energy. There’s no single roadmap for this stage of life, which is why we take an individualized, root-cause approach to your care.
At our Newmarket clinic, naturopathic care can support you with:
- Hormonal balance through nutrition, lifestyle, and stress support
- Relief for brain fog, irritability, and restless nights
- Energy, skin, and libido support so you feel more like you again
- Bone density and cardiovascular wellness for long-term strength
At Oona Newmarket, we meet you where you are. Whether you’re just starting to notice changes or dealing with complex, persistent symptoms, our naturopathic team will work alongside you to create a personalized plan for this next chapter—and the one after that.
Commonly Asked Questions About Naturopathy for Perimenopause & Menopause
Naturopathic medicine offers a gentle, whole-person approach to managing the symptoms that can arise during perimenopause and menopause. Whether you’re experiencing hot flashes, mood changes, sleep issues, or shifts in libido or energy, our Newmarket-based Naturopathic Doctors are here to help.
Your personalized care may include nutritional support, stress and sleep strategies, supplements, and lifestyle guidance. Our goal is to help you feel grounded, energized, and informed throughout your hormonal transition.
Your journey begins with a thorough intake session where your ND explores your health history, daily habits, emotional well-being, and any current symptoms. Functional lab testing may be suggested to explore hormone levels or nutrient status, depending on your needs.
Your plan may include strategic nutrition, personalized supplements, lifestyle tools, and nervous system support—designed around you. We’ll check in regularly to fine-tune your care as your body changes.
If you’re in your late 30s to early 50s and noticing subtle shifts—fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbances, or cycle changes—it may be perimenopause. You don’t need a confirmed diagnosis to get started.
Early support can ease the transition and help you feel more like yourself again. Our Newmarket team is here to guide you through it—on your timeline.
Yes. Ongoing care is key to making sure your plan continues to work for you. Your ND may suggest lab tests to better understand your hormone or nutrient picture, and regular follow-ups give us space to adjust your care as needed.
At Oona Newmarket, we prioritize how you feel—tracking progress through conversation as much as through lab results.
HRT involves prescribed hormones, typically from a medical doctor. Naturopathic care focuses on natural strategies like nutrition, herbs, and supplements to support hormonal balance and symptom relief.
At Oona Newmarket, our NDs do not prescribe hormones, but we work holistically to support your system and can refer you to a trusted provider if prescription care is something you want to explore.
Absolutely. Many people begin naturopathic care well before menopause to address emerging symptoms or simply to prepare their bodies. If you’re unsure whether what you’re experiencing is perimenopause, our team can help assess and guide your next steps.Toggle Content
Possibly. Your ND may suggest hormone, thyroid, or nutrient tests to help clarify your symptoms and guide your plan. But it’s not mandatory. We use testing only when it adds meaningful insight—and always talk you through the options first.
Yes. Collaboration is important to us. If you already have a family doctor or specialist in Newmarket, we’re happy to coordinate care and keep communication open.
That’s one of the most common reasons people seek naturopathic support. Perimenopause can be subtle, surprising, or confusing—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Your ND can help you get clarity and create a plan that supports you no matter where you are in the transition.
