Infertility & Recurrent Loss

When it Comes to Fertility Health, We Speak Your Language

Starting a family is one of life’s great joys. For many couples, the path to parenthood is filled with more questions than answers. Integrated Health Clinic helps patients understand their unique fertility situation to maximize their chances of achieving parenthood.

Fertility Care Philosophy

The clinic's fertility program combines evidence-informed science with compassionate care. Their approach includes:

  • Detailed health history analysis

  • Tailored treatments

  • Lifestyle recommendations

  • Whole-person health optimization

  • Miscarriage investigation and support

Our 6-Phase Fertility Treatment Process

IHC’s signature 6-Phase Fertility Treatment Process combines patient-centred care with holistic, whole-person health optimization. It methodically addresses every factor that could impact fertility to maximize your chances of conception.

Our naturopathic doctors frequently help couples struggling with one or more miscarriages. Often couples need to experience three miscarriages before an in depth work up is initiated. One or multiple miscarriages may be a result of inadequate progesterone production, hyper-coagulation syndrome, environmental influences, or associated with a reproductive immunological pathophysiology. We believe one miscarriage is indication enough to dive further into possible reasons for the unsuccessful pregnancy.

The path from infertility to parenthood is an emotionally difficult journey. We strive to treat each person with the utmost compassion, and we offer customized approaches with the ultimate goal of achieving parenthood.
