Fertility & Prenatal Care

We take a whole-person approach to fertility — optimizing your body's readiness for pregnancy through hormones, nutrition, acupuncture, and lifestyle support.

Many couples face challenges when it comes to getting pregnant. The process can be both frustrating and emotionally draining. At TruChange, we consider the whole person rather than just the reproductive system. We look at hormone balance, nutritional status, environmental factors, stress levels, and use acupuncture to help optimize your chances of conceiving — whether naturally or alongside IUI or IVF treatments.

Our Approach to Fertility

Fertility depends on a complex interplay of hormones, nutrition, timing, and overall health. We examine your full cycle — how does the follicular phase look compared to the luteal phase? How can we optimize the ovulatory period? Dietary management, stress reduction, and targeted supplementation all play important roles in preparing your body for pregnancy.

Acupuncture is a key component of our fertility support. It promotes blood flow to the reproductive organs, helps balance hormones, reduces stress (which directly impacts fertility), and can be used alongside conventional fertility treatments. We also work collaboratively with your OB-GYN or fertility specialist to ensure coordinated care.

Did you know? If you're already pregnant — congratulations! We offer prenatal care in collaboration with your OB-GYN or midwife, helping optimize your nutrition, relieve pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness and back pain, and prepare your body for labour with our preparation program starting at weeks 35–36.
