In this age of increasing infertility rates, miscarriage, childhood diseases, and genetic disorders, JBS Wellness is focused on natural fertility methods with those looking to conceive. They focus on the benefits of preparing both partners for the most important job they will ever do by optimizing their health for the best possible conception, pregnancy, birth, and baby.
The tools we use for infertility and preconception planning are:
→ Chiropractic care
→ Therapeutic bodywork
→ Whole food & herbal supplements and homeopathy
→ Dietary & lifestyle changes
→ Cycle & timing strategies
→ Education
Consider these actions in combination with a tailored program to optimize natural fertility:
1. Eat healthy, nutritious, organic whole foods including plenty of vegetables, whole grains & protein. Avoid prepackaged, canned and processed foods.
2. Drink purified water to avoid exposure to various toxins & heavy metals.
3. Avoid sugar, which can cause nutrient loss and endocrine dysfunction
4. Avoid coffee (regular & decaf), which contains an enzyme that interferes with healthy sperm production along with caffeine that can disrupt both sexes.
5. Reduce intake of dairy which can cause mucous build-up & interfere with the reproductive tract.
6. Do not consume food or liquids that have been microwaved because of the damaging effects of non-ionizing radiation.
7. Do not heat foods in plastic or drink warm liquids from a plastic container.
8. Do not use artificial sweeteners as they are very toxic to the body.
9. Avoid recreational drugs, nicotine and alcohol.
10. Switch to natural personal care products and cosmetics to reduce exposure of synthetic
hormones & dangerous toxins. (www.safecosmetics.org)
11. Use only natural household cleaners to avoid exposure to dangerous solvents. Also switch from petroleum-based, which can disrupt hormones, to a vegetable base laundry detergent. (www.seventhgeneration.com)
12. Keep cell phones away from reproductive organs. Men should not have a laptop sitting in the lap to prevent increasing the temperature of the scrotum.
13. Avoid having X-rays taken & air travel to reduce the amount of radiation exposure, which can have damaging effects to egg & sperm.
14. Men must avoid hot tubs and saunas to avoid raising the temperature of the scrotum, which can damage sperm. Advisable to wear boxers instead of briefs to allow scrotum to stay cooler than body temperature.
15. Exercise for a minimum of 30 min 4 times per week to encourage healthy elimination, lymphatic flow, detoxification & normalize weight.
16. Manage stress through meditation and other relaxation techniques. Stress is a major factor in poor health & infertility.
