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.

Patient Stories: Discover Reviews by Satisfied Chiropractic Patients

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

I’ve now become a patient of theirs too, and I hope to start my other two children there as well
My 10 month old has been delayed on her gross motor skills. At her 6 month checkup, her pediatrician recommended she get evaluated for PT. In her case, I felt like she needed more that just PT to get caught up. I’ve heard so many people speak highly of chiropractic care for kids, I thought we’d give it a try. I can’t remember how I came across Pinnacle (might have been on Instagram because they have a lot of helpful posts). But anyway, I called and setup the first couple appointments for intake and scans. The entire staff is super friendly. Dr. Matt listened very well to what was going on with my daughter and we came up with 3 goals for her to hopefully meet with 9 weeks of adjustments (2x/week). The afternoon after her 2nd adjustment, she literally reached 2 of her goals. I almost couldn’t believe it. I realize it could have just been a coincidence but it’s just too close to happening right after the adjustments for me to assume that. She’s had about 10 adjustments total now, and she is catching up on other gross motor skills. Because she is a baby, her adjustments are quite gentle. There’s no cracking or popping involved. I’ve now become a patient of theirs too, and I hope to start my other two children there as well!
Both of my kids have made improvements since starting here 4 months ago and my husband and I have learned a lot too.
Can’t say enough good things about Pinnacle Chiropractic! While my son Ryan may have a fav doc ;-) we love all the docs and the whole staff here equally!!! Everyone is warm, friendly and welcoming. Moving from a different state and trying to find our tribe here was challenging, but we were welcomed in and Pinnacle has helped us find our way. Both of my kids have made improvements since starting here 4 months ago and my husband and I have learned a lot too. We are very grateful for the whole Pinnacle team and recommend them whenever we can.
