How To Increase Fertility With Integrative And Functional Medicine

As a qualified medical doctor for over four decades with a special interest in functional and integrative medicine, Dr Jaimini Raniga is able to offer a multidisciplinary, holistic approach when it comes to how to increase fertility in both men and women.

Dr Jaimini understands how challenging the path to pregnancy can be for hopeful parents, which is why she helps make it easier by removing or reducing the barriers to healthy conception.

By drawing on the principles of functional and integrative health, Dr Jaimini considers the body’s overall health and wellbeing and does so by looking at a range of lifestyle factors that could be getting in your way.

Common issues that impact ovulation and sperm production, contributing to lower fertility, can include but are not limited to:

  • Age (especially after the mid-30s for women)
  • Chronic health conditions (e.g. diabetes, fatigue, thyroid disorders, and more)
  • Diet and nutrition
  • Environmental factors
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Mental health
  • Poor gut health
  • Recreational drug use
  • Smoking
  • Stress and anxiety (high cortisol from stress inhibits fertility)
  • Weight and body composition (particularly obesity)

By taking the time to ascertain a detailed picture of your situation, Dr Jaimini personalises a plan of action to help you with how to promote fertility.

Strategies that Dr Jaimini may explore with you include, but are not limited to:

  • Allied health collaboration
  • Fitness, exercise, and movement
  • Hormonal balancing
  • Improving sleep
  • Lifestyle changes
  • Mindfulness and meditation
  • Non-drug therapies
