Phthalates (pronounced thowl-ates) have been shown in several studies to affect the reproductive system and other organ systems in the body. These substances have been getting a lot of attention in both the media and the scientific community.

Not only could they be impacting the fertility of men and women now and future generations, but several hundred animal studies have linked phthalates to prostate and breast cancers, abnormal genitals, early puberty onset and obesity,"("What's Toxic in...

This week's tip is related to communication, specifically with your partner.

This is such an important topic.  And it so often the source of hard feelings, feeling isolated, feeling disempowered, and feeling frustrated among many other things.  This applies to both the male and female as both can be experiencing great anguish with this situation or one partner may be having a hard time understanding the emotions of the other partner and this can be a source of hard feelings,...

Several patients have emailed me about my opinion of a new study that has come out about soy. I have never been a big proponent of soy as a healthy alternative and especially now after this study I am even more convinced that soy is not the perfect health food and definitely not the right choice when you are trying to improve fertility.

Women who are trying to conceive may want to heed the following: Avoid eating too much soy. According to a study involving humans, a compound found in soy...

Well, Christmas is just around the corner and as I type this I am thinking of the presents I still have left to buy. Thankfully it’s not too many though. I hope you don’t find yourself in the same boat as me. I know however that this can be a difficult time for someone experiencing fertility issues.

Over the past week I have been getting a lot of information sent to me showing me articles by professionals stating that herbs can't help assist you with your fertility, and don't let anyone tell you any different. I know that type of information is out there and I also know that we have helped nearly 4,000 couples become pregnant over the years with the help of the herbals. So, I thought it was time to dispel some of the myths that there are surrounding the use of herbs for fertility.

I am...

You may have read the tip that I wrote in regards to thyroid and the importance of testing thyroid antibodies.  If not please refer to the tips about thyroid to get more information.

But I wanted to go a bit further to illustrate the importance of ruling out this issue.

Many doctors will tell you that there is no need to test thyroid antibodies if TSH is normal.  But I can tell you now that I have many patients whose TSH is perfectly normal and even FT4 and FT3 (thyroid hormones)...

Today we are going to discuss a very common issue that is often over looked and can for some mean the difference between having a child and not.  Many of our patients come to us after they have seen a long line of practitioners.  I often hear, “you are our last hope” or “I wish I would have come to you sooner”.

As I go through a patient’s history I am always surprised at the tests that haven’t been done or the issues that have been pushed off as...
