The Physical Body

When I look at the physical body my hands are asking questions. Are the ovaries and uterus in place? Are there adhesions in the pelvis from surgery, infections, or even an inflamed gut that makes it hard for the fallopian tube to grab an egg? Dr. Caroline will assess this geography of fertility with palpation and possibly imaging.

The Chemical Body

The chemical body influences the quality of the soil in the body. Is the body well-nourished? Are the hormones balanced? Is the gut or liver in need of a cleanse? Have inflammatory and infectious processes been minimized? Is the hypothalamic/pituitary axis unrestricted and able to send optimal information to the ovaries? Is the thyroid happy doing its job? Is there a SNP (genetic variant) that makes methylation or histamine or estrogen problems? Dr. Caroline Peterson will run lab tests to assess how your chemistry influences fertility.

The Emotional Body

The emotional body has to do with the degree of joy and exuberance a person has in their life. Is stress minimized, or offset by fun? How much vitality does the person have? Is this person grieving prior losses? Is there room to welcome in a new soul?

There should be a certain degree of delight in being in this world to optimize fertility. If the person is stressed-out, mourning, or tied-up doing other things, it will be difficult to conceive or maintain a pregnancy.

The Energy Body

The energy body holds the past and portends the future. Certain patterns will make it more difficult to bring a child into the world. Sometimes these are ancestral patterns, sometimes they are patterns that related to previous relationships and losses in this life, sometimes they are patterns related to that person’s karma or personality type. It is important to address the energy body to create room to invite in your baby.

p.s. Guys need to get checked, too.

Infertility is equally shared between men and women.

Both need to get checked out.
