Combine your clinical care with personalized nutrition, lifestyle, hormonal-health, supplement, acupuncture, and emotional-wellbeing support.
At Pollin, we believe that a healthy mind and body are essential while navigating fertility treatments.
Our collaborative naturopathic program is for people at any stage of family building. Our NDs and reproductive counsellor partners work alongside your medical care team to provide an evidence-based plan before, during, and post fertility treatment.
Nutrition and diet are vital for fertility health and provide the core building blocks for hormone regulation, blood sugar control, metabolism, egg and sperm quality, and reproductive organ function.
Regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol and caffeine intake, eliminating smoking and drug use are all scientifically shown to positively impact reproductive health and fertility treatment outcomes.
Receiving evidence-based and personalized guidance on what vitamin and supplement support may be right for you can influence everything from sperm and egg health to hormone balance and cellular energy. Not every vitamin and supplement is right for every person.
Pollin can accommodate a Mashgiach, or Mashgicha to observe laboratory handling of eggs, sperm, embryos and most fertility treatment procedures, as required.
Experiencing fertility challenges can be stressful and impact overall mental health. Lowering stress levels and optimizing mental health with supportive therapy can reduce cortisol, improve sleep, help hormone balance, build stronger relationships and resilience before, during, and after fertility treatments.
Pollin patients can access naturopathic and wellness support and services after an initial consultation with a fertility doctor and completing a diagnostic fertility work-up.
Begin with an OHIP-covered consultation with a Pollin fertility doctor to discuss your medical history, any reproductive health concerns, and family-building goals.
Complete a comprehensive fertility work-up for both you and your partner, if applicable. Testing may include reproductive hormone bloodwork, AMH, ultrasound, sonohysterogram, or semen analysis where applicable. Testing gives our naturopathic team insights into your current health and allows for targeted, personalized recommendations.
