Managing Modern Fertility Challenges with Nutrition and Lifestyle Support
Fertility health changes as the world changes. Modern life presents unique challenges to fertility. Identifying what fertility health means in the modern context includes understanding menstrual cycles, hormonal balance, and emotional factors in both Western and TCM contexts. This class will examine the mechanisms and effects of the modern environment on fertility. These include diet, lifestyle, environmental toxins, PCOS, endometriosis, and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and others. We will explore solutions to modern day fertility challenges, from developing emotional resources to nutrition to toxin management to working with auto-immunity to optimize fertility.
Initiating causes of chronic disease and their downstream effects
The goal of the lecture is to help practitioners understand the complexity of modern illnesses and the importance of understanding the tools used in other paradigms to seek information and determine treatment. We all recognize an illness from the particular method of training we received, but sometimes it is insufficient to use one paradigm or one approach and expect the patient to recovery from illness. By understanding what other paradigms can offer, it is possible to gain additional skills to improve your patient’s health.
The morning lecture will focus on the internal terrain of the individual while the afternoon presents the effects of the external environment on creating chronic inflammation and oxidative stress and their ramifications on the internal terrain. Levy will integrate biomedical, Chinese medicine, functional, and naturopathic approaches as he discusses each topic.
