Our Edmonton clinic offers specialized testing to uncover the root cause of your infertility.
All cases undergo a comprehensive investigation including hormonal, thyroid and nutritional testing.
Thyroid & Adrenal Testing
Hypothyroidism is a common cause of infertility in women and abnormal sperm formation in men.
Fatigue, weight gain, low mood, constipation, poor memory/concentration, cold extremities, thinning hair or menstrual irregularities may suggest thyroid issues.
Fatigue, sleep issues and poor stress tolerance are common causes of hypoadrenalism/adrenal fatigue.
Our fertility clinic offers advanced thyroid and adrenal testing to determine precisely where you need support. Our naturopathic doctors are extremely experienced in both thyroid and adrenal balancing.

Hormone Testing
We can look at all of your hormones to balance any abnormality that might be contributing to your infertility.
We can screen using blood, saliva or urine and can run the following:
Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), Estriol (E3) and Progesterone
DHEA-S, FSH/LH, IGF-1, SHBG, Androstenedione, Total and Free Testosterone, Prolactin & Progesterone
Our naturopaths often use a mix of salivary and serum hormone testing in our fertility cases at our Edmonton clinic. We encourage patients to bring previous blood work so that it can be reviewed as well.

Heavy Metal Testing
In complicated cases of infertility, we may look at environmental factors such as heavy metal toxicity.
Heavy metals like mercury, cadmium and nickel have been associated with infertility in men and women.
Our clinic offers provocative urinary heavy metals testing and we are experienced with oral chelation techniques, as well as Naturopathic detoxification strategies to reduce total body metal burden.
