Healthy lifestyle changes and specialised conception protocols form the basis of naturopathic fertility care and can be applied at any stage of your fertility journey, even if you are well down a path of medical intervention, including surgeries or IVF procedures. Sage is a bit like a clinical detective pulling together information from your previous health history, current health issues, test results and other sources to assess your fertility status. Depending on your individual presentation, Sage will incorporate some or all of the following in their diagnostic assessment: nutritional deficiency checks hormonal balance tests detailed dietary assessment blood tests to assess your cellular health and tissue performance genetic testing regarding metabolism of specific nutrients diagnosed conditions such as autoimmune or thyroid conditions signs and symptoms in any system you reveal in your consultation a detailed personal and family health history environmental toxin load from work or home This detail helps Sage put together a plan to improve your fertility. Your plan will always include very detailed diet and lifestyle interventions (food as medicine) specific to you, which is also appropriately augmented with nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine and sometimes homeopathy. Sage may also recommend support from other practitioners or be in communication with other carers to ensure comprehensive care and optimum results. The aim is to ensure you have sufficient energy and nutritional status to conceive, experience a healthy pregnancy and go on to have a healthy, happy baby! You will need to arrive 10 minutes early to your initial consultation to fill out a new client intake form. This is a small 3 page form where you fill out information such as your name and contact information, emergency contact, relevant medical history, and list any medications or supplements you may be taking.

The focus of this consultation is to gain an in-depth understanding of your health complaints while identifying the underlying cause(s). This allows you space to tell your health story, while assisting Sage to develop an understanding of your current health status in as much detail as possible. A series of in-depth questions will be asked based on your current health concerns, as well as investigating any other health complaints you’ve had in the past. During this consultation, other tools such as physical examinations, iridology, and referral for further testing may be conducted when appropriate to gather more information on your presenting complaint(s) and overall health picture prior to your second appointment. Sage will advise whether she recommends an extended or standard return consultation. You will need to arrive 10 minutes early to your initial consultation to fill out a new client intake form.

Using the information gathered in the initial consultation, combined with the results of any tests/assessments conducted, a comprehensive treatment plan will be developed to address your personalised therapeutic health goals. During this consultation, your personalised treatment plan will be presented to you, as well as any relevant test/assessment results. Your treatment plan will incorporate and outline your health goals, and nutritional medicine, herbal medicine, dietary or lifestyle changes may be prescribed at this time. Through your individualised treatment plan, Sage will work with you to improve your current health complaints, while addressing the underlying cause(s). This consultation usually occurs between 1-3 weeks after the initial consultation, depending on the presentation of your case. In some cases, test results must be reviewed before your comprehensive treatment plan can be completed, and therefore may extend the time between your initial and extended return consultations.
